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)

and Rick...<br />

a road bike (this doesn’t happen in cars) west along the A4 past Avebury,<br />

Silbury Hill and Beckhampton. There’s a bit where the road drops off the<br />

Downs towards Calne that always makes the hairs on the back of my neck<br />

stand up, even with a crash helmet on. Or, if you’ve ever been to Isle of<br />

Lewis, there’s a stone circle up there, and I still get goose bumps when I<br />

think about the effect it had on me 45 years ago.<br />

LOCAL PATCH<br />

I regularly ride bits of the Pilgrims’ Way in Kent. It’s my local patch, so<br />

perhaps the thought of riding from Canterbury Cathedral to Winchester<br />

Cathedral wasn’t that strange, despite the fact that genuine pilgrims tend<br />

to go in the opposite direction before crossing the Channel on their way<br />

to Santiago de Compostela. There was another reason for starting at<br />

Canterbury. Clements Moto is a few miles from the city and it imports,
