As I just said to Smooothsail in PM, riding on gravel requires an entirely different skill set from riding on pavement. The position on Li'l Red though is not hunched over. It's an upright seating position with my legs straight down to the pegs. Some people even stand for short times when they ride to stretch out the legs.

no $heet...

when i was just a teenybopper, i went for a ride on my BF's 'scooter' with him, actually i think i was 12...lol...anyway, we got into gravel and making a turn the wheels just slid out from under us....

he had that 'yeah i mean't to do that look' and i was looking a gravel embedded in my leg....

i thought i was scarred for life....actually i was, but you can only see a slight discoloration if i have a tan (the gravel injury part looks slightly darker)

:)

Ah.........thanks..........didn't know that. Just keeping the bike steady on gravel would put some wear and tear on the old muscles. Got BenGay? <gg>
