Cantaloupi shows off his Open class Katoomer

I'm on a bit of a Donnie Cantaloupi binge as of late...here's Donnie with his works, air-cooled KTM big bore monster.

Can someone help me out and ID Donnie's mechanic?  I want to give cred where cred it due.

I loved looking at bikes in those days.  Shoot a nice, tight horizontal shot and you could show all the pieces and parts.  No shrouds and water cooling jackets and now EFI.  Just give me the finned jug and attached carb and I'm a happy boy.

It was great to walk the pits in my Cycle News days.  There were a million stories to tell and I only had limited time each weekend...what a terrible problem to have!
