Hi, my name is Graham Prevett, a life long motorcycle enthusiast. Like so many of you reading this, I first started riding Japanese motorbikes at the age of sixteen.
Back then it was the recognised mode of transport for all just starting out in the world of college / work, no matter the weather!!
Being passionate about motorcycles has led to me restoring a few Hondas from the 70’s and 80’s, and as the collection grew more space was required, so along came a workshop in North Chailey.
Once you have a couple of restored classic bikes, it’s nice to be able to show them off. Having attended a few bike events, it dawned on me that the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s era bikes were not really being catered for here in the South. Only one thing for it! Down to the pub for a discussion with like-minded folk, where we came up with the idea of the Moto-Union Celebration event.

The goal is to put on the event that fans of the iconic Japanese and Italian marques from the last five decades have been waiting for. We feel that the atmosphere is important, along with quality food and great coffee that you won’t need a second mortgage to enjoy.
As you can see from our website, there will be lots to see on the day. This being the first Moto-Union event, our only fear is that the limited tickets for the day may sell out before the event! If you fancy coming along 26th May, head straight to the website now and buy your ticket to avoid disappointment. Remember kids up to 12 years old go free. See you there!
You can see the full details of our event via our website or buy tickets on Eventbrite.
