The Legacy of a Legend
In the whimsical world of motorcycle racing, few names invoke such a profound legacy as Malcolm Smith. Recently, family, friends, and fellow racers gathered at Malcolm Smith Motorsports to pay tribute to this unforgettable figure, affectionately known as the Motorcyclist of the Century. With laughter echoing among tales of yesteryears, delightful food, and the infamous Hawaiian shirts taking center stage, the celebration became a heartwarming testament to how Malcolm Smith’s passion for motorcycles united the community.
A Fitting Tribute at AIMExpo
For those unable to be present, the Motorcycle Industry Council (MIC) is set to honor Malcolm’s enduring impact on the motorcycle industry at the upcoming AIMExpo. This event promises to be more than a mere celebration; it will be the embodiment of Malcolm’s spirit. At Booth #1135, aptly dubbed “Malcolm’s Corner,” attendees can reminisce over cherished memories and explore an incredible array of memorabilia, motorcycles, and more, all lovingly curated by Malcolm’s close friends and family.
The Importance of Giving Back
As part of the festivities, a charity auction will launch on February 6 at 5 pm, featuring an extensive collection of Malcolm Smith memorabilia. Proceeds from the auction will support the Malcolm Smith Motorsports Foundation, emphasizing the spirit of giving that Malcolm championed throughout his life. For over 35 years, this foundation has committed to transforming lives through education for children at El Oasis Orphanage in Baja Norte, Mexico, showcasing how a legacy can continue to inspire far beyond one’s lifetime.

The auction is calling for donations, including autographed racing gear, limited edition posters, and other unique items that capture the essence of Malcolm’s storied career. If you have collectibles or memorabilia to contribute, reaching out to Lindsey Scheltema with the AIMExpo team can help ensure that the auction becomes a vibrant reflection of Malcolm Smith’s impact. By participating, you not only honor his memory but also help equip future generations with the tools they need for a bright future.
