Rider Skills: Riding Gravel Roads Instructor: Bret Tkacs | PSSOR

Gravel travel: Most common surface Overlooked as a challenge by many travelers Can change quickly To many accidents on easy to ride surfaces The proper attitude (not a race, other users)

Why people crash: Too fast Wrong body position Out of touch with traction Throttle use Braking while leaned over

Standing vs sitting… when each is preferred

Standing: Greater visibility Better weight control Easier on the suspension More time to recover in a slide Proper state of mind Better control of traction

Sitting: Less energy

Exercise: Practice leaning the motorcycle underneath you on paved roads to stay over contact patch (both sitting and standing).
