Rust#20 It’s Dakar Rally time – and RUST rates the runners and riders. Have we got it right? WIN a pair of GoldenTyre extreme enduro tyres Round The World adventurer in the making, Andy Dukes ponders the solo mission After 15 years racing from one bivouac to the next Chris Evans finally escaped the Dakar, but this year he’s been called back. A good thing? We all need a guru – someone who’s been around the traps and talks sense. So here’s one we at RUST know well… Yep, RUST 20 has gone live with just minutes to spare before the Christmas break. So there’s some good reading for you here for when you’ve had your fill of the usual movie classic re-runs, let alone the endless mince pies. We hope you have a happy Christmas and the New Year brings some great rides. We’ll be hopping it up in 2017 and look forward to keeping you entertained as best we can, so see you again in January!

3 Four-strokes are easy to own<br />
The latest four-strokes are excellent. If say I was going to buy a new<br />
WR250F, I’d run that for three years, doing the valve clearances every<br />
couple of months, doing the oil changes regularly, obviously the oil filter,<br />
air filter and spark plug. Then after three years I’d put a new (con-) rod in it<br />
and it’d do another three years. So for three years you do effectively nothing<br />
and for the sake of £3-400 you have the engine back up to scratch, so you<br />
could ride that bike for six years without significant maintenance – it’s as<br />
easy as that.<br />
4 Four-strokes are cheaper to own<br />
Having said that, you can see they can be cheaper to own and maintain –<br />
contrary to what many may think. With a two-stroke a piston is £100 and<br />
you’re going to put a new one in every 15-20 hours, so over the year that’s<br />
probably three to four, then you’ve got two-stroke oil to buy... That said,<br />
given the choice it’s two-strokes every day for me because I just love the<br />
noise and the smell. Every time!
