As a child, my first exposure to motorcycles was watching Evel Knievel on television. Before the age of 10, I had a BMX bike and I rode it around town for endless hours. I never officially entered any BMX races though. As a teenager, an older friend of mine tried to teach me how to ride a motorcycle, but I crashed it and I didn't want to try again. My biggest fear in life is actually riding on the back of a motorcycle. I've done that 2 or 3 times and I was terrified! With that out of the way, I now present to you a quiz about motorcycle racing and BMX racing. Doing this quiz will be far safer than actually getting on a motorcyle!
