#1 more for the dirtbike experiance. When I first started riding on the street (1 month ago or so) I was paranoid about gravel and snad in the corners, I found that if i focused on not going into that stuff on the outside of turns then the bike would head for it. Best advice I can give you is to just look where you are going and put the gravel in the back of your mind ( dont forget about just don't focus on it) I have hit it a few times and had the rear slide a bit on me ( In Canada they salt and sand from november to march and sometimes april so it is everywhere) Just dont panic and make smooth control inputs adn stay off the rear brake
