Read the posts above. I already said they've known for a long time.

Now let me comment on the above quote... I have taught more than a couple people to ride and learning to use the clutch and learning throttle control are secondary. The first thing every new rider has to learn, and the most important thing is how to use the brakes. More specifically the front brake. For learning to ride, a dirt bike is ideal. Everyone I have taught starts out on one of my MX bikes with me riding on the back. I get them going and we practice slow stops then semi-panic stops. If you don't know what to do when things start getting a little too fast(and they will) then you have no business knowing how to get going in the first place.
Anyway that's my opinion on the matter. Ride safe, ride smart, have fun.

I'll take this as a tip
I'll make sure I practice before I do anything extreme.

You'll eventually get one, dude. Just be patient.
