F3- Thoughts on a packed gravel road

[frj322]

I have to agree with whodat. We wouldn’t be able to ride if we didn’t go down the dirt roads. My wife and I each have a 2018 F3s and we live down a mile of dirt and gravel. We take it slow and easy and no problems so far. Now this infernal DUST… that’s a whole other issue. Since you are in much the same situation whodat, what do you do to keep yours clean?

.... what do you do to keep yours clean?

I too live on a dirt road (not as long as yours), but these things are dust magnets.

Seriously, the thing works great for taking dust off. Get the two pack that has the big one and the dash duster.

Great minds think alike! That’s what we’ve been using since moving out here, just a couple of minutes every time we get home and they are presentable. Not clean, but presentable so it works. I wonder if there’s a better way?

Thank you everyone for the great feedback. I corrected my original post, I meant Utah not Co.
Been weighing the risks vs what could be an amazing reward and have decided to do it, taking it slow.

My prediction. You'll go slow at first. But you'll find yourself picking up the speed as you gain confidence and get tired of going slow. Let me know if I'm right!

I turn off traction control every time I approach my driveway so I can break the back end loose and drift. One of the main reasons I bought the S model.
