Latin American Motorcycle Association

The HISTORY

Welcome to the L.A.M.A.

Latin American Motorcycle Association (L.A.M.A.) was founded in 1977 in Chicago's notorious Humboldt Park neighborhood. Known by its acronym as L.A.M.A. From the beginning L.A.M.A. It was created with the intention of being a Moto Tourism club with democratic ideals. Chicago was the only chapter until the opening of the first sister chapter in Miami in 1996, a National Association was created when the first national president was elected in 1996.

In 1999 L.A.M.A. it became an International Association when chapters were started in Puerto Rico, Mexico, USA, and Cuba. Currently L.A.M.A. It has chapters in 25 nations on 6 continents.

In 2000 to celebrate the millennium, the president of L.A.M.A. International created L.A.M.A. International Motorcycle Association for the purpose of globalizing L.A.M.A. Also known by its acronym as I.M.A.

In 2006 the International President invented the Friendly Sport of Motorcycle Tourism. Currently, Regional, National, Continental and World Championships of this sport are held annually.

L.A.M.A./I.M.A. was created with the intention of being the model of the 21st century motorcycle club, and it is a work in progress that continues the flow of ideas from new members from lands near and far.

L.A.M.A./I.M.A. it is a club without borders. It has evolved as an "International Humanist Association". It accepts as members working people from all walks of life without discrimination based on nationality, race, color, religion, social class, gender, age, motorcycle brand, etc.

The mission of L.A.M.A./I.M.A. It is to promote Peace, Love, Harmony and non-Violence worldwide and in this way demonstrate through example that we can all live together in peace.

L.A.M.A./I.M.A. It is one of the most respected associations in the world. As a member of L.A.M.A. Doors will open in all cities with sister chapters / clubs. To meet L.A.M.A. It is necessary to know other chapters, especially chapters in other nations.

L.A.M.A./I.M.A. It is recognized as one of the most active long ride biker associations in the world. Our Ladies of LAMA, female member riders accompany us on their own motorcycles, traveling extreme distances. Most motorcyclists find these distances too long, or almost impossible to meet, yet our male and female members perform these runs or rides often. Women are a very important part of L.A.M.A. and they fulfill their functions just like men.

The statutes and regulations of L.A.M.A./I.M.A. they have been created, compiled, modified, and adapted through 44 years of experience. It is not the intention to carry around a dictionary of statutes and rules to spend a few hours of fun. Their existence, however, is good, they are very useful in times of difficulties or clarifying situations.

WELCOME TO L.A.M.A / I.M.A. YOU ARE NOW PART OF THE BEST RIDERS ASSOCIATION IN THE WORLD. WE CHALLENGE YOU TO HELP US IMPROVE IT.

LATIN AMERICAN MOTORCYCLE ASSOCIATION – POCONOS CHAPTER

Community Involvement, Outreach & Commitment to Service

The Latin American Motorcycle Association (L.A.M.A.) – Poconos Chapter is a family-oriented motorcycle association dedicated to promoting unity, fellowship, community service, and responsible riding. Our mission extends beyond motorcycles and riding; we are committed to making a meaningful and lasting difference in the communities we serve.

Our chapter takes great pride in supporting local organizations, veterans, students, first responders, law enforcement, and families in need throughout the Poconos region.

Supporting Our Veterans

L.A.M.A. Poconos has established a dedicated Veterans Committee focused on providing assistance and support to disabled veterans within our local communities. We recognize the sacrifices made by those who have served our country and believe it is our responsibility to give back to the men and women who have given so much for us.

Investing in Our Youth and Education

We believe that investing in our youth means investing in the future of our community. Through our L.A.M.A. Poconos Legacy Scholarship, we recognize and support local students as they pursue their educational goals and work toward building successful futures.

Our commitment to family also extends to our children, known as L.A.M.A. Youth Members, who are encouraged to participate in chapter activities, community outreach, and charitable events. We believe in teaching the importance of giving back, compassion, and community involvement from an early age.

Community Outreach and Charitable Partnerships

Throughout the years, L.A.M.A. Poconos has proudly participated in numerous charitable initiatives and community events throughout the Poconos area. Some of the organizations and causes we have supported include:

Mady's Kitchen

The Oasis of Love

The Angels & Dragonflies Foundation

Feeding the First Responders during the COVID-19 pandemic and in the years that followed.

We also proudly participate in the annual Veterans Day and St. Patrick's Day parades in downtown Stroudsburg, demonstrating our continued support for our community and the causes that bring us together.

During the holiday season, we make a special effort to bring joy to families in need by partnering with the Angels & Dragonflies Foundation and donating Christmas gifts to children who might otherwise go without.

Motorcycle Safety and Awareness

Safety is an essential part of our organization. L.A.M.A. Poconos actively promotes motorcycle safety awareness and responsible riding practices. Our members receive safety training through Road Guardians – Accident Scene Management, helping prepare riders to respond appropriately in the event of an accident or emergency.

Our Commitment

At L.A.M.A. Poconos, we believe being part of a motorcycle association means more than sharing a passion for riding. It means standing together, supporting one another, serving those in need, and building stronger communities.

We are proud to represent the Latin American Motorcycle Association and remain committed to our core values of Family, Brotherhood, Community Service, Respect, and Safety.

We ride together. We stand together. We give back together.

L.A.M.A. POCONOS – More Than a Motorcycle Association, We Are Family.
