Gravel is Not My Friend

I repeat GRAVEL is not my friend. What is it? Did I piss off the Saint who oversees the non-dropping of motorcycles? Picture this, rolling to a stop, applying both front and back brakes, looking good, smooth, and wham I put my foot down and loose gravel! Do I need to say what happened next? Of course not, hello road. My wish, if I'm going to fall at least change sides. My left arm is taking a beating!
