2026 Awards
David Page award announced
With the blessing of the Page family, the Highland Classic Two day Trial has a new award for 2026.
The DAVID PAGE MEMORIAL Challenge Award – for the best performance by a competitor under 35 years of age competing on either the A or B routes*.
David Page was a remarkable rider, coached by his multi ISDT gold medalist and Scottish Scrambles Champion father, Ernie Page.
David was brilliant right from the day he threw his leg over a motorcycle, in fact when he was a beginner, his father had to build him special bikes because of his small stature. But his stature was huge, beating regularly expert adult riders when competing in the same event.
FanticMotor in Italy sent a frame, some wheels, forks and engines to Edinburgh and between Ernie and David, they single handedly developed the Fantic 80 Trial for the factory.
The most famous David Page machine was his Monyam, a Montesa 25 chassis fitted with a TY80 Yamaha engine.
Before David succumbed to luekaemia, he had secured a contract to ride for the UK based ‘Hamilton Yamaha’ team on the new TYZ Yamaha mono machine, after having two seasons as an adult on the TY250R monoshock bike. David was a Scottish Youth Trials champion.
Sadly David died at his home near Edinburgh, surrounded by his family after a brave fight against luekaemia in 1993, aged nineteen years.
The organisers of the Highland Classic are delighted to be able to present this new award in David Page’s memory to the best under 35 rider on either the A or B routes*. We thank the Page family most sincerely for permitting the club to name the award in David’s remembrance.
* Note: The lowest individual number of marks will determine the best performance on either of the two routes A or B. If there is a tie in any class or award, the oldest competitor will be declared the best performer.
New named award for 2026!
It is with great pleasure that we announce the naming of the Ladies award at the Highland Classic Two Day Trial – Scotland’s friendliest classic trial!
In honour of the lady who rode national, SSDT and ISDT events, with support from Comerford’s and Bill Slocombe on Greeves and BSA machinery, who would go on to become the Competitions Manager at the Auto-Cycle Union – Mrs. Mary Driver.
From 2026 onwards the Mary Driver Challenge Award will be presented for the Best performance by a lady competitor on either the A or B route. The winner of this award will receive glassware to keep.

Number Plates for 2026!
The 2026 Highland Classic has negotiated an agreement for ‘TrialsPrint’ of Leeds to be the official number board supplier.
Formerly known as Kudu Products Ltd, they recently added the trading style of ‘TrialsPrint’ as it more accurately describes their committment to supply quality products for the motorcycle sport.
The company have been providing the numbers boards for 2025 as the original supplier could not supply a printed board at a competitive price. Russ Brodie at Kudu was more than happy to quote and Gavin Cairns Roughcasting sponsored the cost of the boards for the Inverness & District MCC Ltd.
TrialsPrint can be contacted through their website:
2026 Highland Classic
Make a date for your diary, the 2026 Highland Classic will be run at Alvie Estate on 13/14 June!
We will be celebrating the British Four-Stroke and our Guest of Honour is confirmed as Nick Jefferies, who should need no introduction to trials enthusiasts, being a factory trials rider and motorcycle racer at the same time! Nick has ridden some very exotic machinery in his career.
Of course two-stroke machines are always welcome at the Highland Classic, even although the emphasis is on four-strokes for 2026!
Nick Jefferies rode for the mighty Honda Motor Company on the specialised RTL models in the mid seventies and also rode the development CCM 350T for Alan Clews, so he is certainly no stranger to four-stroke machinery!
We are delighted that Nick is our guest of honour as his family are steeped in British motorcycling history. His father was winner of the SSDT and Scott trials and his elder brother Tony was one of Britain’s best road racers. Of course not omitting the many successes chalked up by his late nephew, David Jefferies.
So, please make a note of the dates, 13/14 June 2026, the entries will open on Sunday, 1st February 2026 at 20:00. Entries will be limited to 200 as previous years. If in the event we are oversubscribed then a ballot will be run.
