The Motorcycle Hall of Fame is inducting a Menifee resident into its ranks.

Scot Harden is one of off-road racing's most influential champions. He achieved victories across the United States, Europe and South America during a career that has spanned nearly 35 years.

Harden has two overall wins at the prestigious Baja 1000 and is a three-time ISDE medalist. Additionally, he was the winner of the 1987 Djerba 500 Rally – Tunisia and winner of the 1987 Rallye de Atlas – Morocco.

Scot's work in the powersport industry has allowed him to help shape younger stars, including Dan Smith, Danny Hamel and Russ Pearson. He has worked in sales, marketing, and race management roles at Husqvarna, Cagiva, KTM, and at the helm of his own Menifee-based company, Harden Off-Road.

The induction ceremony will take place on October 11, 2008 at the Hilton Polaris in Columbus, Ohio.

Congratulations Scot Harden!
