Clean, I love to ride (I like my 06 HD sportster), but IMO the way your body is positioned on a sports bike, you are just asking to go headfirst into something.

Anyway, nice bike, be careful, most motorists have no respect for bikers.

Ohh and as for gravel, my father just crushed his leg as he and his bike slid down a 6ft ditch because he lost it on some loose gravel. Won't be healded completely for like a year. So watch for that gravel.
