EL ROLLO – sideways in the dirt, on what?! DOING A RUNNER – London to Kuala Lumpur at a jog RACING UNCERTAINTIES – the drum from EnduroGP Headlining this issue is the stunning Wheels & Waves feature event, El Rollo – dressing up and riding around like Dad (or Granddad) has never been so much fun. Meanwhile matters have turned serious in the high-pressure world of EnduroGP. And Andy Dukes has indeed done a runner. Perhaps Chris Evans has it right – sell the bikes. No, that can never be the right answer… RUST, it’s the smart read. Hope you like it! Jon Bentman (Editor, RUST)

RACING UNCERTAINTIES – the drum from EnduroGP

Headlining this issue is the stunning Wheels & Waves feature event, El Rollo – dressing up and riding around like Dad (or Granddad) has never been so much fun. Meanwhile matters have turned serious in the high-pressure world of EnduroGP. And Andy Dukes has indeed done a runner. Perhaps Chris Evans has it right – sell the bikes. No, that can never be the right answer…

RUST, it’s the smart read. Hope you like it!

I reckon it’s returning around 70 miles per UK gallon (approximately<br />

4 litres of fuel per 100km) and the efficiency is improving all the time<br />

as the engine continues to loosen up. I’ve managed about 550km<br />

from the 24-litre tank but have never been able to put more than<br />

22-litres in, so I guess you could touch 600km if you really had to.<br />

The bike is pretty standard apart from some excellent Touratech bits<br />

(suspension, engine protection bars, foldable mirrors) and a Wunderlich<br />

screen extender which has been invaluable in keeping the snow, wind<br />

and rain at bay in europe, and then protecting me from the huge<br />

insects dive-bombing me throughout Asia.<br />

This is the most basic 800 Adventure available (no heated grips, eSA,<br />

cruise control, etc.) and it has carried me and my overweight luggage<br />

(tools, spares, camping equipment, running gear, clothes, computer,<br />

cameras etc.) across the worst roads and tracks imaginable with no<br />

problems whatsoever. I can’t speak highly enough of this bike.<br />
