i've had a bike of some sort since i was 14 . 45 years later gravel and sand still scare me so dont get down about it . as mentioned before , the throttle is your friend . you have way more control under power , trouble is , at some point you have to slow down ....

I said the same issue (gravel roads) my dad taught the motorcycle training course for years and has been riding for over 50 year. I asked him how he does 100km on gravel? He said simply, ignore it!! eyes forward and just go.
