Headed from the DC area to the Pittsburgh area for the weekend. When I mapped my route, I assumed Garmin Mappoint would indicate gravel/dirt roads as dashed lines. Apparently, I assumed wrong.
Many of my secondary roads near Ohiopyle turned out to be gravel. I said F it, and decided to see how the K would do. And I have to say, it is a very comfortable bike to be standing on the pegs (since I'm kinda short) and it handled the roads quite well. Honestly, on the better maintained ones, I think I could go every bit as fast on the K as I can on my XChallenge.
That being said, I will be finding a more paved route for the ride home.

2-3 miles down a jeep trail at Mono Lake. Works quite well. Good traction on sand. Put the fast idle cam past the cutoff for the throttle switch (or unplug the throttle switch) so you don't get engine braking that will cause you to slip.
