Motorcycling legend Malcolm Smith releases his autobiography–a must-read for off-road fans.

Encinitas, CA – August 5, 2015 – After two years of work, Malcolm Smith’s long-awaited autobiography, titled Malcolm! The Autobiography, is finished, printed, and is expected to be available by October 2015, or sooner.
Smith teamed up with longtime motojournalist Mitch Boehm to complete the 400-page, 11 x 11-inch hardbound book. Saturated with personal storytelling, rich in detail, and containing many never-before-seen photographs from Malcolm’s personal archive, Malcolm! The Autobiography is a must-read for any motorcyclist or off-road enthusiast. From his early days along Canada’s Pacific coast, to his childhood in San Bernardino, California, to his first bikes, his racing efforts in the U.S., Baja, Europe and Asia, to his business life, the iconic movie On Any Sunday and his family life, it’s all here, and all told by one of the world’s legendary motorcycle and off-road racers.
“I’ve done a lot in my 74 years,” Smith said, “and I even managed to remember a lot of it despite falling on my head a few times!”
“It was a fascinating project,” Boehm said. “Malcolm and I would talk about a period of his life, with my recorder going the whole time. Later, I’d transcribe what Malcolm had said, and weave it all together. Then we’d go over it together, making sure it was just right.”
“There’s a lot here,” Malcolm added. “Ten chapters, over 100,000 words worth of stories, and hundreds of photographs, many of them never seen before. It’s an amazing book. I have to give credit to Todd Westover, who handled the design for us, and my wife Joyce, who helped organize the project and scanned many of the photos. I just know folks are going to love it.”
The retail price for Malcolm! The Autobiography is $49.95. For more information, contact Malcolm Smith Motorsports, 7599 Indiana Ave., Riverside, CA 92504; 951-687-1300.
