A moving and tragic love story set amidst the thrills and excitement of Grand Prix Motorcycling, "Love, Speed & Loss," is a marvellous, real life depiction of this great sport in the 70s.
Kim Newcombe is an absolute legend not just in his native New Zealand, but also to motor sport enthusiasts around the globe and this unique film is his own heroic story, documented through the eyes, words and Super8 camera of his beloved wife Janeen.
With knowledge gained from his experience working for a marine company, Kim Newcombe designed and built a revolutionary motorbike using an outboard engine incorporating a Manx Norton gearbox and clutch. With this self-built machine, he travelled across Europe in the early 1970s in his quest to become the number one racer in the world. This dramatic film follows the romantic couple from circuit to circuit, as Janeen, Kim's childhood sweetheart, captures all the heart-rending action, as her husband bids for glory. A donation from the proceeds of the sale of this DVD will be made to registered charity Riders For Health.
Evoking magical motor sport memories from a bygone era, as well as being a truly beautiful love story, this wholly unique Kim Newcombe DVD will be enjoyed by everyone.
