Here’s a story about a rider who went from zero to hero, then near-death, but has come back stronger and is making a bigger impact today – at nearly 50 – than ever. Only this rider stands just 5’1-1/2” and is female. A more intense ball of moto-energy you’d be hard pressed to find.
We’re all in lockdown. So we’re taking the opportunity to look back at what has been, year-by-year RUST’s journey to here. And we’re doing it pictorially – we’ve done enough reading for now! So, yes, this was RUST’s 2016, its first full year…
RUST’s US trip wasn’t all off-road roosting. When we got to the West Coast we couldn’t help ourselves but to indulge in a local passion – cruisin’. A trip from LA down to San Diego on Brit and American iron proved a great interlude while the dirt gear got cleaned up at the Laundromat…

Back in September 2019 RUST rode the final round of the Adventure Spec Challenge, the IoM 500 by Rally Moto. The big finale to this three-event roadbook rally series, it offered probably the most technical riding, but also the most dramatic scenery. Something special for sure.
Here at RUST we’re into everything bike – a bit like you. So when a chance arose to have a go at road racing – in the most gentlemanly manner – we were out of our adventure kit and in leather in an instant

The 2020 BMW Motorrad International GS Trophy was a stunner. New Zealand was staggeringly beautiful, the riding sublime and the people (of the GS Trophy and of NZ) were just great. Eight days of perfect adventuring, which we’ll tell here over the next eight days!
New Zealander Chris Birch was a big name in hard enduro: a Romaniacs winner, multiple Roof of Africa winner and genuine top-three in the sport. When family came along he stepped back, or rather moved on… Now he’s a KTM ambassador, demonstrating and teaching how to ride their adventure machines. He’s also one of the nicest guys you could wish to meet.
WELCOME to a five-part series of video shorts that follow RUST’s JB and Warren as they spin around five western states in the US on a range of bikes, on both dirt and road.

Late October, the BMW Motorrad International GS Trophy Female Team Qualifier 2019 saw 31 women from around the world fly into Malaga, Spain to battle it out for six places in the iconic International GS Trophy that takes place in February 2020 in New Zealand. It was one hell of a ride…
