Gravel huh? How much is "some"

After watching "The Long Way Round" I'm not so sure about gravel.

Depends on construction. Nothing that the GS can't handle...

I was talking about ME handling it.

I'll drive 50 on a gravel road in my Ford Exploder (which is why it's so broken), but on my GS? I dunno about that.

(Yes, I'm a sissy).

You should bring the GS and ride that!

Ooh. I don't live in Victoria anymore, but I just moved from there a few months ago.

GO TO TOFINO! I have only done that ride in a car, but have always seen many, many bikes on that road and they all look to be having a blast. I can't recall much gravel at all. Harleys and such manage it, surely the GS could? Be aware that chances are it will rain on the west coast, it's nearly always raining out there. But it's just spectacular and the surfing is really good.

Yeah... I always plan on rain around here... Stupid convergence zone.

I might be able to pull that ride next year (if I get my M50

), but prolly not this year.
