About Us

In the beginning....

GH Motorcycles trading from the Van, at a schoolboy event (check out the reggae colours)

GH Motorcycles started trading in November 1984 from a small shop in Barrack Street Colchester and specialising in 125cc & under and off road bikes. We later extended the range to include almosts all types of two wheel machines but, by 2000, had returned to our true specialism,

OFF-ROAD.

Gavin Hockey, the company's Managing Director, still competes in enduro & motocross on a regular basis, although he now employs the talents of younger riders for his OFF-ROAD race team! Gavin has competed at British Championship level for Enduro, winning a number of titles - so he is truly qualified to understand and meet your OFF-ROAD requirements. GH Motorcycles will continue to support you, whether you race through the season or simply ride for fun.

We look foward to seeing you in the showroom or at the races !

In The Very Very Beginning !

This is The Shed Gavin having a chat with younger brother Chris

This was where it all started back in the early eighties - at Hunters Chase Ardleigh in a small out-building. Gavin started repairing mopeds and bikes, such as Yamaha FS1Es ,AP50s and SS50s for the local people. Soon afterwards, he became involved in schoolboy moto-x having his first race at Latchingdon with the E.A.S.S.C.
