R.I.P. Jim Donovan

[REAR]

Just got the terrible news of the passing of Jim Donovan of Max-Torque fame.

For those who knew Jim he was more then a just engine clutch supplier, Jim was a genuine guy who would tell it to you like it is and then somehow always be able to make a joke about what he just told you.

Everyone who has known Jim has lost a very good man but together we are all fortunate that we can always look back and remember all of good times with a very good friend.

Jim was a gentleman and a scholar.
I feel lucky to have known him.

Sad news indeed. I had the pleasure of knowing Jim as well as doing business with him. Great guy who will missed. RIP Mr. Donovan!

Most people think of karts when you think of Jim but he was also a big fan of vintage motorbikes. We would hook up annually at the Vintage Motorbike Club meet in Portland Indiana and Jim would also attend The Doodle Bug reunion in Webster City Iowa. Jim was also widely known and a big contributor to the minibike community.

Jim will be missed by many.

When I think of Jim I always think of him wearing his hat & helping others with not just clutches but other problems they were having. Not sure I ever saw him without the hat.

Frank Weir wrote a nice eulogy for Jim over at Vrooom Magazine.
