LAMA 4th Annual Celebration Comes to St Augustine

First Coast.TV took a peek into the LAMA 4th Annual Celebration on July 29th at the Shrine Club in St Augustine.

The Latin American Motorcycle Association was founded in 1977 in Chicago’s Humboldt Park neighborhood. Since its inception, L.A.M.A. was intended to be a Moto-Touring Club with truly democratic ideas. In 1995, a Chapter was formed in Miami, Florida and in 1996 L.A.M.A. became a National Association when the first national president was elected. In 1999, L.A.M.A. became an International Association when Chapters were formed in Puerto Rico, Mexico & Cuba. Today, the number of chapters has grown to over 170 worldwide spanning the Americas, Asia, Europe and Australia. 

L.A.M.A is a club without borders. They have evolved into an “International Humanist Association”. Accepting working people from all walks of life, regardless of nationality, race, color, religion, social class, gender, age, brand of motorcycle, etc. They believe that it is more important to recognize and identify ourselves as Human rather than Latin, Asian, Black or White!

As a L.A.M.A. member there are doors opened in every city where they have chapters. Members have the opportunity to visit those chapters, including those in other nations on their Annual National and International Runs. L.A.M.A. is also recognized as one of the most active long distance riding clubs in the world.
