Title: A must watch story of motorcycle racing in the 70s
Post by: VintageBike on January 25, 2010, 10:04:38 AM

Folks,
when you next have a bit of time of your hands, you must check out this video documentary that you can find at http://motorcyclepictureoftheday.blogspot.com/2010/01/konig-racer-prize-winning-documentary.html#comment-form (http://motorcyclepictureoftheday.blogspot.com/2010/01/konig-racer-prize-winning-documentary.html#comment-form)

Its called Love, Speed and Loss and tells the moving and inspirational story of the New Zealand racer Kim Newcombe.

His widow Janeen provides much of the commentary and there is a lot of footage from their home-movies. Extra commentary is provided by people like Chas Mortimer, Chris Dodds, Dieter Konig , Bruno Kneublher, Rod Tingate (Kim's mechanic), Mick Woolett, Phil Read,
Kork Ballington, etc

Take a little time to check it out, its superb.

Cheers

Nigel
