Kim Newcombe – Love, Speed & Loss
2009 NZ Classic Motorcycle Festival featuring Kevin Schwantz riding a Manx Norton, The Britten, Kim Newcombe’s Konig and Norton Cosworth motorcycles.
The documentary – Love, Speed & Loss (click here to view Part 1 of 3)
A documentary about motor-racer Kim Newcombe, who turned heads in the 70s on a König motorbike he developed and designed himself. He was killed racing in 1973 and posthumously came second in that year’s World 500cc Grand Prix. The film mixes interviews and underdog triumph on the track scenes, with Super 8 footage of family life on the circuit, and poignant wife-of-maverick reflections from his widow Janeen. Love, Speed and Loss won best documentary at the 2007 Qantas TV Awards and Air NZ Screen Awards for best documentary, directing, and editing.

Round Australia Trial Reunion
Mobil1, Redex Trial, Ampol Trial, Mobilgas, Repco … Calling all competitors and interested persons to attend the Round Australia Trial Reunion.
The programme for the day includes a vast display of memorabilia, photos and stories from the Round Australia Trials over the years. Famous as the event where “Gelignite” Jack Murray from Bondi began his antics of blowing up outback dunnies, its legendary stories leave a lingering nostalgia among buffs for motoring of a more primitive era.
Motoring writer and Round Australia competitor, Barry Lloyd will share some of his stories, talking on the day. An informal chat is also scheduled at the club on Saturday night at 5pm.
