The Latin American Motorcycle Association (L.A.M.A.) was founded in 1977 in Chicago’s notorious Humboldt Park neighborhood. From its inception L.A.M.A. was intended as a Moto-Touring club with truly democratic ideas. A lone chapter until the first chapter was started in Miami in 1985, L.A.M.A. became a National Association when the first national president was elected in 1996.
In 1999 L.A.M.A. became an International Association with chapters in Puerto Rico, Mexico, USA, & Cuba. Presently L.A.M.A. has additional chapters in Uruguay, Venezuela, Argentina, Spain & Australia. L.A.M.A. was intended as the club of the 21st century and is a work in progress, to be continued by the flow and ideas of new members in near and far off lands.
L.A.M.A. is a club without borders. We have evolved into an “International Humanist Association”. We accept working people from all walks of life regardless of nationality, race, color, religion, social class, gender, age, brand of motorcycle, etc. We believe that it is more important to be human than to be Latin, Asian, black, white, etc.
L.A.M.A. is one of the most respected clubs in the world. As a LAMA member there are doors opened to you in every city where we have chapters. To know LAMA is to visit the other chapters, especially chapters in other nations.
L.A.M.A. is recognized as one of the most active long distance riding clubs in the world. Our women (DAMAS DE LAMA) accompany us on their own motorcycles, riding extreme distances, which most Bikers find way too far and others find a challenge of endurance.
L.A.M.A. by-laws were compiled through 30 years of experiences. It was not intended so that we carry a dictionary of rules to have few short hours of fun. On the other hand, there are times when difficulties occur, and that’s when they come in handy.
L.A.M.A. Chapters were created to organize recreational activities for its members such as tours, picnics, campouts, and a host of other social activities that benefit the members and the community.
L.A.M.A. Chapters must provide Safety Training for the membership and the public at large through classes, Instructional Safety Training at chapter meetings, televised programs, videos, workshops, etc. that promote the safe and legal use of motorcycle safety.
L.A.M.A. Chapters mission is motorcycling, as an integral part of our respective communities, LAMA Chapters are expected to organize charitable events on behalf of those less fortunate. This can be achieved through toy drives, food drives, blood drives, cancer event drives, mustard seed drives, and fund drives, and a host of other activities.
Holding weekly, monthly and annual events, we also plan multiple trips every year, so you are bound to be able to attend at least one. We travel all over the county and sometimes including our neighboring countries.
Ultimately, it's all about being on the open rode with the fine vehicle ever created. We are an eclectic, positive club who are always looking for more members to add.
