Alexander Smith: Dakar Dream Becomes Reality

Son of offroad motorcycle racing legend Malcolm Smith to compete in 2016 Dakar Rally.

Alexander Smith is his own man: business professional, college graduate and accomplished racer. He also happens to be the son of offroad motorcycle racing legend Malcolm Smith. When your father is as famous as his, to be involved and successful in the motorcycle industry seems pretty natural—a given even; yet Alexander Smith has followed his own path to success. Hard work and business savvy allowed him to move through the various roles within his family’s motorcycle dealership; where in 2009 he started as Service Advisor, moved to Service Manager, then to his present role in 2014 as General Manager. Today he is responsible for the day-to-day operations, planning, and financials of Malcolm Smith Motorsports. In addition to his job at Malcolm Smith Motorsports, Alexander serves as Trail Boss for Malcolm Smith Adventures, which specializes in motorcycle adventures in Baja California. He also helps out with the Malcolm Smith Motorsports Foundation, a non-profit community-based organization that gives back to the children of Baja by funding the El Oasis orphanage in Valley Trinidad Baja and an endowment fund responsible for making university and graduate level education possible for all the children of El Oasis.
