RUST magazine: Rust#14
Is SWM’s RS650R the ultimate lightweight adventure bike? Can Yamaha’s WR450F really be a woods weapon? Can Warren possibly fit one more accessory to his long termers? These pressing questions, and more, will all be answered in RUST 14 It’s a big issue, is 14, with all that plus columns from one David Knight MBE (at last!) and from our adventure riding buddy July Behl (that’s July as in the month, not Julie – he’s a bloke, okay?). Plus: a little product testing, ‘Gallery’ (our favourite two images of the fortnight) and we celebrate the end of a surprising year in the enduro world championship. Enjoy your riding – and reading!

David Knight MBE is back – as our columnist. He never actually<br />
went away, just wasn’t given to writing so much, and proving<br />
impervious to reminders! So in case you missed it, this was the<br />
past eight months, from Knighter’s viewpoint<br />
WELL FOLKS IT’S been a while but I’m happy to be writing a column in<br />
<strong>RUST</strong> <strong>magazine</strong> again, and there has been a lot going on over the past six<br />
months. JB calls me every so often asking for a column and I say, how<br />
soon? He says, how about next week? Then I say, okay. But it doesn’t<br />
happen. Life gets in the way of writing. And when you’re not a writer, yeah<br />
you don’t exactly rush to it, do you? But I’ve been pinned down well and<br />
good this time, so where to begin…?<br />
Well, I can go right back to the start of 2016 – which seems like yesterday,<br />
but is already eight whole months ago. At the beginning of this year I didn’t<br />
really have a decent deal sorted, and so I rode the first two rounds of the<br />
ACU British Extreme Championship and the Tough One on my own KTM<br />
300EXC, which all went well really – apart from riding the proper track at<br />
the Tough One, which not everyone was!
