RUST Magazine: RUST #43
It's been a mad couple of months (and more) since the last issue as we've been working overtime on digital projects that should come to fruition very soon. But we've taken time out to get on the bikes as often as we can. And so this issue is still a 128-page cracker – not least because we've got seriously detailed ride reports on the two of the biggest stories in Adventure in 2019 – the amazing Yamaha Tenere 700 and KTM 790 Adventure R – enduro enthusiasts might like to skip the first 40 pages... Talking of enduro, one of KTM's biggest rivals – Beta – just released some of their meanest, bestest enduros yet!

Chris Evans<br />
relieved to get into a Boeing… Then<br />
a very long immigration procedure<br />
where, in a little pre-Brexit taster,<br />
British nationals living outside the UK<br />
(ie me) came under particular scrutiny,<br />
“why you no have France work permit<br />
if live in France…?” You try explaining<br />
to a Chinese border official that actually<br />
until Britain officially leaves the EU I<br />
don’t need one… We all got on another<br />
bus, me to chants of ‘Brits go home’ as<br />
I’d delayed the whole convoy…<br />
At five in the evening we finally got to<br />
the next bivouac where I was looking<br />
forward to some noodles and an early<br />
night. Obviously I wouldn’t have to<br />
write any press releases cos there’d<br />
been no racing that day. Silly me. Of<br />
course they wanted a press release. In<br />
fact they wanted an extended version.<br />
A round up of the race so far. I finally<br />
got to ‘bed’, if you can call an inflatable<br />
mattress in a very hot tent a bed, at<br />
around midnight, with the alarm set<br />
for 4am. I thought I’d try and get a hot<br />
shower and a spot of breakfast before<br />
getting into another 5am bus. Sadly the<br />
water was cold and Chinese don’t really<br />
do breakfast…<br />
