F6B's do not like gravel roads. Avoid at all costs.
Always, and I mean ALWAYS watch your rear view mirrors when at a stop.

100% on this one. And in stopped traffic, it's rare, but I might even use the shoulder, even though that comes with its own hazards. Especially these days, with distracted drivers, the less time I spend as a sitting duck in front of ANYONE, the better.Originally Posted by willtill

+1. Twice on this bike, watching mirrors at a stop (and staying in 1st gear) have saved me. Both times, I was able to spot the driver behind me failing to stop in time, and pulled ahead between cars. Seeing the car sitting almost bumper to bumper with the one that was in front of you afterward is sobering.
Strongly agree!
