Have you ever ridden dirt bikes?

I believe everyone should be required to ride a dirt bike(and I mean really ride one before getting on a big road bike. It can teach you how to handle non-normal situations. Once you get a big road bike in some gravel you'll wish you'd had that dirt riding experience

I rode dirt bikes in my teens early 20's and i think that any form of experience on any bike will help

Yes and yes.

I started my motorcycle experience racing dirt bikes in the southern California desert in the late 60s through early 70s, and I know it has helped me on the street. And when the pavement suddenly ends and turns to gravel, I don't even give it a thought. Just "keep on cruising".

I learned on a dirt bike. I think that the experience has helped me immensely, although I have scared myself half to death many times. It is much easier to take a spill in the dirt that on the pavement.... Trust me!
