There is an unbelievably twisty canyon road nearby that used to be a gravel road, but is now nicely paved. It goes over a pass and then steeply and twisty down to a park. The bad part is that they didn't pave the other side of the pass down to the park. We have to backtrack all to way around to get to the park.

No one I know has been down that road on a motorcycle. We debated about going up the gravel side, but the road has washboard ruts, and pea-size gravel that is just like ball bearings. My friend just bought a V-Strom, but he doesn't want to try it. Have you done any steep gravel roads with the GS?
