Faivre, and a group of eight people hailing
from different regions of Québec,
decided to make the Montréal
Gay Motorcycle Association of Québec
(AMGQ) a reality. André
Faivre, both founder and President presents
the group’s mission: bring together
gay motorcyclists who want to share their
passion for motorcycles.
The AMGQ brings together all gay motorcyclists from
Quebec… and elsewhere! Both active
and dynamic in their two combined milieus
(gay and motorcycles), the group now has
members from almost every region of Quebec.

The idea to start the
group first came about in Autumn 1993, when
some guys who had had individual experience
of Country & Western dancing in different
US cities got together. As there was nothing
similar for gay people back here in The
Netherlands, they thought it would be a
good idea to set something up. They found
a dance teacher through an ad in a national
gay newspaper and the rest is history...
The club currently has over 80 members.
