RUST magazine: Rust#9
RUST magazine: Celebrating Yamaha’s 40th year in enduro. Duel – when teammates collide. Don’t look back in anger – that could be the theme for this issue. Just days ago Editor JB got chased off an Indian Ocean island by a hurricane, but he’s not sore about it, just mightily relieved he didn’t get flattened.

things; the ability to remain respectful<br />

sparked a new beginning for Phillips, and<br />
which gave Cervantes back the spark which<br />
he’d lost during the hardest years of his<br />
