What to See near Columbus: Malcom! at the Motorcycle Hall of Fame

by

museumlogo.jpg“Malcolm! honors the legendary career of off-road racing champion, movie star, motorcycling ambassador, tireless fundraiser and mega-dealer Malcolm Smith. One of the most multi-faceted competitors ever to take to the dirt, Smith wowed fans for over three decades with numerous trips to the victory podium. His racing career included six Baja 1000 victories, four Baja 500 wins, eight gold medals at the International Six Day Trials (ISDT) and a collection of four-wheel victories. However, it was his co-starring role in the 1971 moto movie epic On Any Sunday that garnered him the most recognition. Produced by Bruce Brown and Steve McQueen, the movie helped launch America’s love affair with dirt biking - and introduced Smith to scores of new fans. Malcolm! is the fourth in a series of Legends exhibits at the Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum. The exhibit will feature machines and memorabilia from Smith’s own collection. Significant motorcycles will include Smith’s first race bike, a 1950 Matchless, and the Husqvarna 400 Cross he rode in On Any Sunday. Additional bikes include Smith’s first-ever motorcycle, a Lambretta 125DL, and the 1967 Husqvarna ISDE 250 he rode to his first ISDT gold medal. Ephemera such as trophies from Smith’s Baja 1000 victories, ISDT gear, personal photographs and previously unseen video will illustrate his illustrious career.”
