Comments: Hi Classic Riders, Did you know there is a book & documentary being made on the life of Kim Newcombe & his success on his Konig? He was 1973 Yugoslavian GP Champion but was tragically killed at Silverstone in Aug'73. Thanks for putting this notice on your site; if possible. I can arrange for an extract if you wish. Best regards Denis Hanley on behelf of Janeen Newcombe, Kim's wife. (family friend) New Zealand
Thanks Alan - Rod will be featuring with the Konig in the doco. After OZ I understand the production crew go to Silverstone for more filming. I would recommend that any one who has the book on John Britten by Tim Hanna go to pages 458-9 this sums up what Kim Newcombe achieved in the early seventies. I could copy it here but unsure of copyright laws. Regards Patrick
Rod can probably supply you with the article written about Kim and himself in the Australian motorcycle press. It details Rod's time with Colin Seeley, and describes the incident when Kim died. I may still have a copy. I'll have a search. Is the Konig 500 in Oz now?
