RUST magazine: Rust#17

RUST magazine: Rust#17 Yep, Team USA won, but RUST digs deeper into the real stories that made ISDE 2016… Instant salvation? Can Rick Kemp atone for a lifetime of misdemeanours by trail riding the Pilgrims’ Way in just one day? Is the true adventure bike a single-cylinder lightweight super-enduro? CCM think so, but can the GP450 really cut the mustard? From France to Chile, we travel the globe to find out! Write less, said the editor (me!). That’s really not happening; at 128 pages our latest issue tops our last again. It’s all for your benefit though, and besides, look where dumbing-down gets us – Brexit and Clinton-Trump! Let’s engage our brains, our imagination – and our inspiration for that matter. This issue we’re even embracing medieval history, you don’t get that in many moto-publications. Anyway, this is also our first birthday – one year, 24 issues. It’s quite a pace, we’re not exactly flat out, or WFO as you might say, but pushing-on certainly. And with each issue our audience is expanding (read the editorial for more on that) so if you’re a new subscriber, welcome! Anyway, gotta run, there’s a plane to catch and a big adventure ride waiting. Should be epic… Enjoy your riding, too – and reading! Best Jon Bentman (Editor, RUST)

<strong>RUST</strong> Enduro<br />

a truck cruising down Route 66, but Grant<br />

and Steward clearly have plenty of speed –<br />

taking the Junior team to second place. And<br />

while Taylor Robert has been impressive in<br />

EnduroGP this year, few tipped him to win<br />

not only the E2 class, but also the event<br />

outright. It’s been a long time coming for the<br />

USA. In the 91 years since the Six Days<br />

began, America have NEVER triumphed!<br />

And you can just imagine the elation and<br />

celebrations! But who can blame them?<br />

They scarcely put a foot wrong all week<br />

long, and it’s doubtful that even a fully fit<br />

Australia, Italy, or Spain could have got<br />

near enough to worry the unshakable<br />

Americans.<br />

Perhaps with the USA taking the cake<br />

this year, the handbags can finally be<br />

stowed and the scars healed, allowing for<br />

a return to greatness for this wonderfully<br />

mad, punishingly long, cruelly beautiful<br />

race in 2017?<br />
