Default Are you a risky rider? Risk assessment article

Here is a very interesting and useful article I found in Superbike magazine November 2009 issue.

It talks about how motorcycle riders assess risk and how they manage it. There is also a small self-quiz to assess your own riding riskiness.

Moderator, please move this thread if you find it appropriate. I would like the maximum number of people to read it and benefit from it.

Got 12 or 13, the last question is a toughie compelled to go for the first option but with self-restraint could go for the second, but i need to be friggin' Jesus Christ to take the third!
