To star "speaking" about the first Cuban Motorcycling we have to go back to September 3rd of the year 1899 when made its entrance to Havana, Cuba the first tricycle marks Prinetti & Stucchi, according to the reference of the Magazine "El Fígaro" that had a benzina motor, patent Prinetti, simple design, easy to maneuver, based on a wing that united the three wheels or intervention points; its motor was placed in the center of gravity, aspect which transformed it into a stable motorcycle in any surface type. At that time the motor DeDion Bouton manufactur by the French, led the power market. At present, we only have a picture of very little quality and the aforementioned reference so we are not able to absolute the true mark of the motor. From that moment on, that tricycle began to circulate in Havana appearing different queries among the people in Havana relating to that "motorcycle". Beginning a long fight between the dealers and owners over the primacy in the nation, "fight" that has lasted until our days.

The grandparents of the motos in Havana narrated that being very little, they listened to stories about the leader of different marks in Cuba, the first Excelsior-Henderson business (1918), the Indian, the European motors, the Harley-Davidson used by the police, although their first fleet was of the mark Peugeot.

...Runner in Havana 1918...

...The formation of Classic Motos of Cuba -MOCLAC- and LAMA in Cuba were bound to different events that arose with the disappearance of the socialist field, -during the 90's- for more details, go to the Digital Book "Motores Clásicos en Cuba".

House of Triumph is a project in development deviced by the Vice-president of the EMICCH (Osmin Gato), he has as a fundamental objective to increase the love for trips on motorcycles -Bikertour- and the rescue of their histories. It will embrace other marks present in Cuba, those activities will be summoned by their proprietors and it will be shared in family.

An interesting story published in the Magazine Moto Clásica.
