RUST magazine: Rust#15

RUST magazine: EnduroGP saw big changes for 2016, but can the world championship survive the massive overhaul coming in 2017? RUST’s own W2D grudge match – can you beat the boss and still keep your job? Riding the Road of Bones – which should you fear more: the bears or the mosquitoes? Yeah, we’re asking the big questions again, here at RUST… We’re offering answers, too, only we’re not quite sure how correct they are. You can decide on that. It’s a monster issue by the way, our biggest yet at 77 or 154 pages (depending on the format you view with), so it’s a big read even before you reach the sticky issue of the 1980s trials bike restoration project at the tail end. And in case you miss the cue: the Dear Diaries are fictitious (you know, made up), so stay relaxed… Enjoy your riding – and reading! Best JON BENTMAN

Adventure<br />

with the Yakutsk government. The transport ministry had<br />

made available the mighty Kamaz for the adventure and<br />

assisted in other areas of support and permissions. One of<br />

our final obligations was indeed a pleasure. We met, thanked<br />

and shared our adventures with the Minister and his officials<br />

and still remain overwhelmed by their warmth, enthusiasm<br />

and goodwill. We’d originally planned to ride from Yakutsk to<br />

Vladivostok but the delay in the shipping and clearance at<br />

the beginning had eroded our time. At 800 kilometres a day<br />

to Vladivostok on similar roads to the last 30 kilometres we<br />

couldn’t realistically, and safely, do it. The bikes would be<br />

trucked there instead and we would fly home from Yakutsk<br />

so we could exit within our prescribed visa dates.<br />

It was bizarre, less than two days later I was driving to work<br />

along Auckland’s East Coast Bays Road. There were no
