    And as always, stay loose with your grip.... and also, use your rear brake.

          As I once found out on a rented Harley (nothing parties like a rental!), cruisers are surprisingly capable and stable on loose surfaces.

          Obviously, there are limitations due to weight and ground clearance, and there are certain potential issues with belt drive and rocks, but this is one area where cruiser geometry and "old-skool" tire treads work unexpectedly well.
