Malcolm Smith's Legacy Lives On

 The NPDA along with anyone involved in our industry was heartbroken to learn of the passing of Malcolm Smith on Nov. 26, 2024, at the age of 83. The NPDA sends its condolences to Malcolm’s family, friends and all of those who were impacted by him.

Malcolm was as an inspiration to countless riders via his starring role in On Any Sunday, the 1971 film that introduced the passion that motorcycling brings to so many still today. Malcolm’s namesake Malcolm Smith Motorsports dealership in Riverside, California, remains a testament to his success as a business owner. His racing skills, of course, earned him a spot in the American Motorcyclist Hall of Fame. Read more from the AMA here.

The family kindly requests donations to Malcolm’s favorite charity, the Malcolm Smith Motorsports Foundation, which supports the children of Baja, at www.malcolmsmithmotorsportsfoundation.org/.
