RUST magazine: Rust#26

2018 HUSQVARNA TEs – shock headline: they’re fuel-injected! DAKAR REBOOT – yeah, we want to ride this one, please BON VOYAGE – Andy does a runner (or rather ‘did’) *** Of course Husky have fuel-injected their 250 & 300 two-strokes (there’d have been an outcry if they hadn’t). We sent RUST’s new apprentice along to see what it was like. Have we told you about him?! Also in this issue: the African Dakar experience, today, only like yesterday (you’ll see); and RTW day one – what’s that like? RUST, it’s the smart read. Hope you like it! Jon Bentman (Editor, RUST)

HIS IS a sporty trip, one of endurance,<br />

tackling tricky tracks, where everyone<br />

helps, waits for his group, where we<br />

can taste the local culinary specialities and<br />

where we completely enjoy the true feeling<br />

of freedom which has become so scarce in<br />

our western world. and this trip, Sand Raiders,<br />

is open to everyone with a love for vintage<br />

motorcycles (scrambler or trail) and epic riding.<br />

at the start of every stage a road-book, a<br />

GPS, a beacon and survival food kits are issued<br />

to all riders. With the starting point digitally<br />

connected to the finish, the participants, who<br />

typically bunch into groups of five or six –<br />

usually on the basis of affinities and\or mother<br />

tongue – set off. Each running to their own<br />

rhythm. The groups sometimes languish, while<br />

new ones can form on the trail, according to<br />

the levels of each, or due to mechanical<br />

troubles, errors of navigation and so on.
