About L.A.M.A.
The Latin American Motorcycle Association was founded in 1977 in Chicago’s Humboldt Park neighborhood. From the beginning, L.A.M.A. was intended to be a moto-touring club guided by truly democratic ideas.
In 1995, a chapter was formed outside of Illinois, and in 1996 L.A.M.A. became a national association when its first national president was elected. In 1999, L.A.M.A. became an international association when chapters were formed in Puerto Rico, Mexico, and Cuba. Today, the association includes more than 200 chapters worldwide spanning the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Australia.
A Club Without Borders
L.A.M.A. has 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, or brand of motorcycle.
We believe it is more important to recognize and identify ourselves as human first. That philosophy continues to shape the way chapters connect, welcome new members, and represent the association around the world.
A Living Brotherhood
L.A.M.A. is a club of the 21st century and remains a work in progress. Our forward movement comes from the ideas, energy, and commitment of members both current and new, from nearby communities and from far-off lands.
Because of that philosophy, L.A.M.A. has become one of the most respected motorcycle clubs in the world. Membership opens doors in every city where we have chapters and creates opportunities to build lasting relationships across states and nations.
Long-Distance Riding Tradition
L.A.M.A. is recognized as one of the most active long-distance riding clubs in the world, with more than 45 years and counting of shared miles, national runs, and international runs.
As a member, you have the opportunity to visit chapters across the association, including chapters in other countries, and ride alongside brothers and sisters who share the same commitment to the road.
Damas de L.A.M.A.
Our women, the Damas de L.A.M.A., ride their own and travel with us across long distances, through long hours, and in all kinds of conditions. Rain or shine, heat or cold, they represent the same endurance, discipline, and pride that define the association as a whole.
