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)

any signs of fading. Dean was seemingly<br />
quite cool in his flexible armoured vest and<br />
MSR race shirt and pants. My Acerbis suit<br />
had everything open – chest vent panels,<br />
rear exhaust vents, thigh vents and the<br />
elbow to wrist sleeve vents. The sleeves do<br />
zip off but as I only had a T-shirt underneath<br />
I thought better of it. Perhaps the only<br />
drawback of unbroken sunshine is the<br />
difficulty in reading a smartphone screen,<br />
which necessitated hunting the cover of<br />
trees or holding your left hand in a position<br />
to shade it. Neither is an ideal solution.<br />
After the glorious sandy descent from<br />
Coldharbour, we picked up more lanes south<br />
of Ranmore Common and headed south<br />
past Cranleigh and Dunsfold Aerodrome,<br />
once the headquarters of the BBC’s Top<br />
Gear programme. From there we bashed on<br />
to Chiddingfold and, still keeping to the back<br />
roads, carried on to Haslemere and the<br />
spectacular Devil’s Punchbowl; all the more<br />
spectacular now thanks to the Hindhead<br />
tunnel, which hides all the traffic and noise.<br />
In fact there is now a trail going over the<br />
tunnel, which has to afford one of the best<br />
views in southern England.<br />
AN END BEFORE EVENSONG<br />
After this the going stays quite open as a<br />
series of lanes takes you into Hampshire via<br />
Frensham and south-west, past the Ministry<br />
of Defence training grounds familiar to<br />
enduro riders in the South Eastern Centre.
