Never riden a bike before but want to learn,would it be smart to learn how to ride a dirt bike first then later on a sports bike?
When I did my riders course and test, the instructors there said that if they had their way all riders would have to learn their skills 1st on a dirt bike, then a road motorcycle, then the car/truck/bus.
This is because you learn how to get out of tricky situations like dirt/debris spills on the road how to avoid oncoming objects (i.e. trees and wildlife) The road bike will enhance those learnt by the dirt bike plus give you new ones like riding with cars, truck and other objects. These then pass on to the skill of manoeuvring a car, the truck or bus.
Form what I've seen so far I think that, that would be a pretty good idea.
(I'm doing it backwards of course, learnt to drive a car, then a truck, now road motorcycle, so I am looking for the dirt to improve my road riding skills.)
