LAMA Atlanta

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 come in handy. YOU HAVE JUST JOINED ONE OF THE BEST CLUBS IN THE WORLD. WE
CHALLENGE YOU TO HELP US IMPROVE IT. Mario Nieves, Founder
