Industry gathers to celebrate the life of motorcycling icon Malcolm Smith.
You wouldn’t even need to know who Malcolm Smith was to appreciate the words of reverence and wisdom spoken in his honor at A Sunday Tribute to Malcolm, held in Riverside, California, on January 12. Friends, family, industry, and fans gathered at his powersports dealership, Malcolm Smith Motorsports, to celebrate a life well lived. The showroom floor and parking lot were completely cleared of inventory to make room for over 1,500 in attendance.
Many knew Malcolm Smith as the star of On Any Sunday, the 1971 classic motorcycling movie directed by Bruce Brown. While the Academy Award–nominated film was no doubt Smith’s greatest claim to fame, he was also revered as a racer, a businessman, a philanthropist, an advocate, and most importantly, as a family man.
