RUST magazine: RUST#32

RUST 32 SCRAMBLER – Triumph and Ducati Scramblers take on a cool, wet British autumn KTM Freeride 250F – KTM’s new Freeride has learned its lessons, this one performs! KTM 200EXC – one for the enthusiasts as we check out the tuning capabilities of this clubman favourite ENDUROGP – a year end like no other as the paddock splinters… Plus so much more in this 98-page mega issue... What you’ll notice straight away is the all-new look. A month ago we launched our all-new website, now the magazine gets a top-to-bottom overhaul. And there’s still more to come, so much more. You wait ‘til 2018! Anyway, in the meantime, there’s some great reading in this issue, we’ve got a great mix of stories that we know you’ll enjoy reading (and looking at). And so if you can, do try to read it on a tablet at least, but preferably on a big screen (yeah, with retina display) as the images truly deserve it. Yep, it’s a big issue. But no time to talk, we’ve got yet another issue to prepare right now – so stand by for that one, too. Happy reading and best wishes for the festive season. Jon Bentman (Editor, RUST)

Chris Evans<br />

cable clutch, 20 years ago, so a spare was in<br />

the van.<br />

And finally my year went very well because<br />

of the people I am lucky enough to work<br />

with. I use various ‘openers’ depending on<br />

where I’m riding and all do an admirable<br />

job but it is above all the replacement for<br />

the man I thought was irreplaceable, John<br />

Hall, that has made my life so easy and<br />

enjoyable. Ruud Van Ooyen, or Ruud Van<br />

Driver as we like to call him, used to run<br />

maintenance crews at Dutch oil refineries, so<br />

he is extremely methodical and doesn’t mind<br />

working outdoors. I recruited him to the<br />

fold in desperation when I was blown out at<br />

short notice and went to knock on a nodding<br />

acquaintance neighbour’s door. He has<br />

terrible taste in bikes, owning as he does an<br />

AJP and a 690 Enduro (what’s wrong with<br />

the middle ground, Ruud?) but apart from<br />

that he is a fantastic bloke. My life might<br />

be based around riding a fast depreciating<br />

inanimate object but, be it punters, helpers<br />

or owners of hotels and restaurants, it’s really<br />

all about passion and people, and I’m very<br />

lucky with what the French rather aptly term<br />

my ‘entourage’. I wish you all a very happy<br />

and crash free 2018.<br />
