American Motorcycle Association

The American Motorcycle Association (AMA) was founded in 1924. This Association has an excellent history of protecting and promoting the interest of the world’s largest and dedicated group of motorcycle enthusiast. The main concern of the American Motorcycle Association is to focus on the rights of riding and racing. They believe that their should be sanctioned road and off-road riding activities and overseeing professional and amateur racing events.

The American Motorcycle Association is the only American affiliate of the Federation Internationale de Motocyclisme. This Association is the international governing body for motorcycle sport and touring activity. The Headquarters for the AMA is in Pickerington, Ohio. In Pickerington, the Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum is also located. In this museum, it honors those who have contributed notably to the sport of motorcycling. Racers such as Dick Mann, Craig Vetter, and Floyd Clymer are all part of the Hall of Fame.

Having a Motorcycle Association is very important for people who pride themselves for motorcycling. Here, they are able to address the issues that are most important to him. The roots of the American Motorcycle Association can be traced to two organizations. These to two organizations are the Federation of American Motorcyclists, and the Motorcycle and Allied Trades Association. The Federation of American Motorcyclists can be traced back to 1903. The Association was formed during a meeting of only 93 enthusiasts. During its 16-year existence, they developed competition rules and rider classifications, deal with restrictive ordinances, and wrestle with funding and membership concerns.

The American Motorcycle Association also follows the ordinances that were previously set forth by prior Associations. Having this Association is a very important aspect to many people’s lives. In the beginning, having a Motorcycle Association seemed more of a revolutionary concept. Now having an American Motorcycle Association has soared dramatically.
