Riding Spyder on gravel roads???

[Mrmikey]

Also our roads in my area are often times uneven with a lot of patches that can pull the bike left and right constantly, taking the fun out of the ride

I was on a couple roads around here yesterday that were brutal, the corners especially. Edges of the pavement dropped down if they're even there, terrible patch jobs that are almost worse than the original road etc. You're into a nice sweeping corner, leaning just right and then brrrrrrr, you're all over the road because the road is like a washboard, not fun.

I was on a bike trip in July that took me to Angle Point MN. Which is that little sliver of land that you have to cross the border to get to it by land. I rode on about 70 miles of loose gravel roads to get there and back. No issue except for the dust. First place back into the USA at Warroads, MN. Was a nice car wash.

Yes, it is like that here in Indiana too.
States that have a Snow Season will always have roads that seem to fall apart very quickly. Freezing rain, ice, and snow really destroy roads. It is just the way these things go.

I know that this is a tuff nut. But until someone comes up with something better, we will have to make the best of the crumbling and gravel roads.
