Saw this today, a true legend and very admired. Lived a great life

This is a text I sent my dirt bike friends this evening.

I don’t know if you guys remember or not but I got to meet Malcolm when I was selling the gas tanks for the late model husabergs. He was a super nice man, took me back into a storage area and showed me his Husaberg FS570 that he raced pikes peak on the year before. He raced in the open class, not an aged based class at 70 years of age and finished in the top 5 I think against guys in their 20’s. He spent about a hour with me talking dirt bikes and such, just a couple of dirt bike guys bench racing. In my desk at home I have the autographed lithograph he gave me that day along with some other stuff.

Undoubtedly one of the coolest things in my dirt bike life.
