RUST magazine: BMW GS Trophy Special Edition 2016
Welcome to our latest RUST special, this time reviewing the 2016 BMW Motorrad GS Trophy. This great adventure-competition takes place every two years, pitching amateur adventure riders from around the world into a seven-day battle with each other and you could say with nature too, as they pilot a fleet of BMW R1200GSs through a wilderness location. This time it was Northern Thailand. And what a ride - too good to keep to ourselves. With RUST editor JB along for the ride - for the fourth time - we weren't just front row, we were centre stage! So it makes sense to share the experience. So here's 108 pages on all things GS Trophy. And if you like what you see and read, why not give it a go yourself? Details in the magazine...

American BMX star turned actor, Kurt Yaeger, was the presenter of the daily<br />
<strong>BMW</strong> <strong>GS</strong> <strong>Trophy</strong> video updates for the second time. Like everyone, he fell in<br />
love with Thailand and the warm open villagers we met at every turn.<br />
eyes front<br />
Photographer Markus Jahn and I missed a turn on the GPS and ended up in a<br />
village well away from the <strong>GS</strong> <strong>Trophy</strong> route. It was lunchtime at the school so<br />
the kids rumbled us just as soon as we edged into their village. With their head<br />
teacher alongside we shared a little of what our lives were about. They smiled<br />
and laughed, but some of the kids didn’t even have shoes, which speaks gently<br />
of some of the inequalities of the world. That said, Thai culture celebrates<br />
schools like no other I’ve seen, their schools are like shrines.
