DEDICATED TO PROTECTING THE RIGHTS OF ALL KENTUCKY MOTORCYCLIST

The Kentucky Motorcycle Association was formed in 1982 under the name of The Kentucky Bikers Association. The name was later changed to The Kentucky Motorcycle Association/K.B.A. to be more inclusive of all riders, both on and off road. Since that time the KMA/KBA has become the premier grassroots lobbying force in Kentucky on issues regarding motorcyclists. Through the efforts of our members, we have been able to effect elections and bills moving through the Kentucky Legislature and the US Congress.
