PRE’65 SCOTTISH TRIAL 2026

BULLETIN 1

 

Following on from a very successful 2025 Pre’65 Scottish Trial, we would like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to all the people who officiated in any way and to all the riders, officials and spectators. Especially, we would like to thank the local community for their co-operation to make the parking issues we faced so manageable. A massive thank you must also go to Barry Burton and James Williams for taking control of this aspect of the event. Without everyone pulling together this could have been a disaster and put the continuation of the trial in doubt. The support, consideration and patience from everyone was very much appreciated and we hope this will again be the case as we move onto the 2026 event.

On that note, preparations and improvements are already underway for 2026. The trial dates are Friday 1st and Saturday 2nd May 2026 with sign-on and machine examination on Thursday 30th April 2026. Entries will open on Wednesday 1st October and will be open until Wednesday 26th November 2025 so you will have a full 8 weeks to get your entry submitted using the Jotform platform and details of how to do this will be notified nearer the end of September. There are 200 entries available and a ballot will be held shortly after the closing date should the number of entrants exceed this limit.

To commemorate 50 years since the SSDT last started from Edinburgh, Vince Mackintosh has organised a fundraiser in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support to ride his 1949 Norton 500T, 204 miles from Edinburgh to Fort William on Thursday 30th April 2026 in memory of his late wife, Claire Mackintosh and Pre’65 Scottish Merchandise Co-ordinator, Elaine Gordon. He will be joined by 10 riders and a Special Guest rider all on period bikes. The JustGiving fundraising page – Back to the Future SSDT/Pre’65 is open now for donations so please support this mammoth undertaking by these brave, keen motorcyclists for such a good cause.

Please share the page link far and wide – https://www.justgiving.com/page/vincent-mackintosh-5…

 

Any donation you are able to make, big or small, would be very much appreciated, thank you.
