We lost the legend. Malcolm Smith left us on Nov 26th. Who among us was not influenced by this man? I had just begun riding in the dirt when I saw “On Any Sunday” for the first time in 1972. There wasn’t a Husky dealer for 350 miles, but I bought a Husky because that is what Malcom rode. Who knew that in 1999, I would begin a 25-year friendship with him stemming from our joint work in the motorcycle industry. I rode with him three times in Baja and he came to my home in the Black Hills twice to ride. He babysat me in Baja when I separated my shoulder. He was incredibly kind and thoughtful to all he met. His big smile and big ears could not be missed. God speed my friend… things won’t be the same without you.
