Discover the journey behind Moto Union through the eyes of our main organiser, Graham. He reveals how his deep-rooted passion for Japanese motorcycles inspired a vision that brought this event to life.

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.
