The Latin American Motorcycle
Association (L.A.M.A.)
was founded in 1977 in Chicago’s notorious Humboldt Park neighborhood.
From it’s 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 1995, LAMA became a National Association when the
first national president was elected in 1996.
In 1999 LAMA
became an International Association with chapters in Puerto Rico,
Mexico, U.S.A. & Cuba. Presently LAMA has additional chapters
in
Uruguay, Venezuela, Argentina, Spain & Australia. LAMA 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!
LAMA 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!
LAMA
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.
LAMA 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 X-treme distances, which most
Bikers find way too far and others find a challenge of endurance.
LAMA
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 WELCOME TO LAMA! YOU HAVE JUST JOINED ONE OF THE BEST
CLUBS IN THE WORLD. WE CHALLENGE YOU TO HELP US IMPROVE IT.
