Our driveway is gravel & has washes across it, lumps of gravle, generally, not a safe ride & its pretty seriously sloped up to the road. Stay loose on the handlebars, feet on pegs. Trust me, if the rear shifts right, youll shove your rear end over to keep it upright. As long as you arent being a goon( turning too hard) or hitting thre front brake the front will track along.
Now, Sand,,theres a fun subject. I had a kawa 750 I took out into the dirt roads of west texas. Ive been stuck, with cows in the road. If you think they ignore a car horn, just try to make them move with a bike horn. Anyway, if you come to a long patch of sand, slow down before you get to it & lean back & gently dial on the beans. Itll hold the front tire out of it a bit & make it a lot easier to handle. I came out of 1 patch of sand running near 70, but it was tracking okay. When the front tire settles into it, its no longer stable. The Savage has a better h4ead angle tho & is more likely to track straight, I think.
