Latin American Motorcycle Association History

The Latin American Motorcycle Association (L.A.M.A.) was founded in 1977 in Chicago, Illinois. From its inception, it was intended as a Moto-Touring association with truly Democratic ideas. A lone chapter until the second chapter was started in Miami in 1995. 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 chapter in Puerto Rico, Mexico, U.S.A. and Cuba. Presently L.A.M.A. has additional Chapters in Uruguay, Venezuela, Argentina, Spain, Germany, Egypt, Nigeria, France, Italy, Switzerland, Brazil, Chile, Columbia, Peru, Ecuador, Panama, Honduras, Guatemala, Canada, Honduras, Bolivia, and Costa Rica. L.A.M.A. was created as the association 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. Phenix City, Alabama was chartered in 2017 and proudly holds the distinction of being the first and only L.A.M.A. chapter in the State of Alabama.
