On Sunday, family, friends, fellow legends and heroes gathered at Malcolm Smith Motorsports to celebrate the life of the Motorcyclist Of The Century. Tall tales, good food, bad Hawaiian shirts and of course, a showing of On Any Sunday, were the order of the day. Although the motorcycle industry was in Southern California for the start of Supercross, not everyone could pay their respects and swap Malcolm stories in person.
To that end, the Motorcycle Industry Council is honored to celebrate the legacy of Malcolm Smith, one of the greatest motorcycle racers in history who had a tremendous impact on our industry, at AIMExpo in February with a tribute and charity auction. “Malcolm’s Corner” will be on the AIMExpo show floor, Booth #1135. This is where the industry can gather and reminisce over their favorite Malcolm stories and memories. Partnering with the American Motorcyclist Association, Dealernews, Todd Huffman, and many of Malcolm’s close friends and extended industry family, Malcolm’s Corner will pay tribute to him through memorabilia, motorcycles, movies and more.
MIC is also collaborating with National Powersport Auctions with a live auction of Malcolm Smith memorabilia at the AIMExpo Starting Line on Thursday, February 6, at 5 pm. All proceeds will benefit the Malcolm Smith Motorsports Foundation, an organization committed to funding education for children at El Oasis Orphanage, Valle Trinidad, Baja Norte in Mexico.
The auction is in need of Malcolm Smith memorabilia. Items such as autographed Malcolm racing apparel or gear (jerseys, jackets, helmets, etc.), limited edition signed posters or photos, autographed motorcycle parts (gas tanks, plastics), and other one-of-a-kind memorabilia are being sought to bring in bids that will allow for a significant contribution to the foundation, which has been supporting the youth in Baja for more than 35 years.
If you are interested in donating an item to help pay it forward, contact Lindsey Scheltema with the AIMExpo team to coordinate additional details (949) 517-7511.
