RUST magazine: Rust#12
RUST goes heritage with a spin on the BMW R nineT and goes big with a ride in the beautiful outback of Portugal RUST investigates BMW’s R nineT and finds that these new heritage roadsters are too much fun to be left to the hipsters. In fact they could set a new trend in adventure biking. And with the autumn trail riding season looming it’s time to be booking your end of year trail and adventure rides. RUST has found a great operator who is opening up the lesser-known trails of Central Portugal – well worth a look. As well, a reader asks are the manufacturers over-delivering, is less more? Anyway, it’s summer here in the Northern Hemisphere, we hope you are enjoying the peak riding season. RUST is at the Welsh Two Day Enduro this year giving the long-term test bikes – and bodies – a thorough workout. You can read about how we got on and all about the event in our next issue. Enjoy your riding – and reading! Best Jon Bentman (Editor, RUST)

Adventure<br />
add that this tour is unusual as most of<br />
Horizon’s tours are multicultural with the<br />
majority of clients from northern Europe, the<br />
UK and even the USA and Australia.<br />
Horizon offers a number of different touring<br />
options. Most are between two-five days in<br />
length and offer the option to ride your own<br />
bike or hire one of Horizon’s KTM 450 fleet.<br />
The tours cater for the needs of both<br />
beginners and experts alike. The GPS<br />
navigation they use allows everyone to ride<br />
at their own pace. Experts, rather than<br />
waiting for slower riders, can set their own<br />
pace and for the less experienced riders<br />
they can ride within their limits rather than<br />
feeling rushed or pressured.<br />
I would suggest that you check with the<br />
guys at Horizon about which tour would be<br />
best suited to your riding ability as some of<br />
the tours, especially the five day tour that<br />
take in the hills in the Algarve are best<br />
suited to more experienced riders while<br />
they have more gentle options for the less<br />
experienced or older adventurers.<br />
BADLY KEPT SECRET<br />
Horizon is based out of the world heritage<br />
city of Evora in the eastern part of Alentejo.<br />
Although Horizon Adventures in its current<br />
guise is relatively new, being set up in March<br />
2015 they have a vast amount of experience
