Love, Speed and Loss

Nice to see this. My father was a Konig dealer during this period and because of our car racing with these engines was involed in developing this engine for the motorcycle. If anyone would like my information on this subject please feel free to contact me.

Great story I have never heard about this. Thanks a lottttt for sharing. Kim will be in my heart forever.

Thank you very much for sharing this doco. I've never heard of Kim Newcombe before this. He is a true inspiration.

Thank you for sharing your story, i love motorcycles and motorcycle storys, and this is one of the most beautifull i´ve heard, many motorcyclist wan´t to be racers, i know i did...., but don´t have the will power ans heart to do it like kim and others, what a great man....

Amazing story. Tragic. It's also a tragedy that more people don't know about this.

What a legend and so tragic! Poor Janeen and little Mark, you can't even imagine what they went through. I love 2 strokes, but had never heard of Kim, I vaguely remember the Konigs in sidecar racing, oh what an engine, he did a fine job of building a frame round that, stuffing it to the big boys!

Great story, as a bike fan, I can not believe I have never heard it

Made my eyes tear up. One amazing and tragic story...thanks for sharing this~

As an ex racer I found this very touching and moving, Tradgies like this were all too common in those days,

This is a masterpiece.
Each and every award this documentary has and will win is fully deserved as they have not put one single foot wrong, and we all know how easy it is to screw up a documentary about motorcycle racing.
Thank you all to have shared it with us on the Internet.
Kim and poor Janeen will now remain in my heart forever.
May they have been reunited in Heaven.
Love

WOW! Truly an incredible documentary.
Thank you for making this available online, although I had heard of the Konig I was not familiar with the whole story of Kim (and Janeen).

Thank you for telling this story. Being married to a motorcycle racer is the most exciting thing you will ever be involved with. It's also the most frustrating thing you will ever do. You can take the boy out of racing, but not the racing out of the boy. It's hard to watch your man torn by not being able to race again. It's hard to watch them die a little bit at a time. My husband contracted a very rare bone disorder that eventually took his life, but he never stopped being a racer. Thank you, this captures all the emotion, and rolls it up in fact. Beautifully done. Artfully delivered. Appreciatively received.
