Malcolm Smith Named 2015 "AIMExpo Champion"
For its third annual gathering at Orlando’s Orange County Convention Center, October 15-18, the American International Motorcycle Expo has announced off-road racing legend Malcolm Smith has been named “AIMExpo Champion.”
Smith follows in the footsteps (not something normally said about Malcolm) of Kenny Roberts (2013) and Kevin Schwantz (2014) and will play a prominent role in the weekend’s activities, including a Q&A session with fans, media appearances, and signing copies of his new autobiography. “Malcolm! The Autobiography” is available now from Malcolm Smith Motorsports, www.themalcolmbook.com and powersports dealers nationwide via Tucker Rocky.
“I’m genuinely honored to be named AIMExpo Champion,” Smith said. “Especially on the heels of champions like Kenny [Roberts] and Kevin [Schwantz]. As a longtime powersports dealer myself, I see the tremendous value AIMExpo brings to dealers, and I’m excited to get there and see what’s new in our industry for the coming season. AIMExpo has accomplished a lot in just a couple of years, and it’s all very exciting, for me personally and for the industry. Heck, I’d be there even if they hadn’t chosen me to be the AIMExpo Champion!”

A lifelong gearhead who didn't fully immerse himself in motorcycles until his teenage years, Troy's interests have always been in technology, performance, and going fast. Naturally, racing was the perfect avenue to combine all three. Troy has been racing nearly as long as he's been riding and has competed at the AMA national level. He's also won multiple club races throughout the country, culminating in a Utah Sport Bike Association championship in 2011. He has been invited as a guest instructor for the Yamaha Champions Riding School, and when he's not out riding, he's either wrenching on bikes or watching MotoGP.
