The Ft. Myers Chapter of LAMA (Latin American Motorcycle Association) hosted its 11th Annual Anniversary Party at Rockstar Harley-Davidson on Saturday, November 2nd.

Upwards of 300 LAMA members from all over Florida came to Ft. Myers as well as LAMA’s from Georgia and Illinois. Coincidentally a Chapter President from Columbia, South America was visiting family in West Palm Beach so that Chapter brought him along.

DJ Eddie and local band Remedy alternated keeping the LAMA’s entertained while they dined on typical Latin favorites. Biker games followed, using some unusual accessories like toilet plungers and rolls of toilet paper. Numerous trophies were given out and included Best Rep Chapter and the Chapter that traveled the longest distance. And for those still in a partying mood, there was an after-party party at
Chicago Boys 2.

LAMA was founded in 1977 in Chicago, Illinois. Since its inception, LAMA was intended to be a Moto-Touring Club with truly democratic ideas. Today the number of chapters has grown to more than 160 worldwide spanning the Americas, Asia, Europe and Australia. Florida boasts more than 20 Chapters.
