Yea,but now you're being almost sexist because you're assuming a woman can't "grasp" the situation. Women can be just as big of thrill seekers as men. Quite frankly,I doubt either person COMPLETELY understands their danger otherwise they probably wouldn't do it.

This is nothing to brag about but between the track and the street,I've probably crashed as much or more than anyone on this forum. I have road rash scars on every part of my body except my head. I have been deformed,crippled, and have had several operations. I have pins and screws in three different places and have spent months of my life in the hospital in penance to my hobby/lifestyle/passion. I've had to search for my friends leg in the dark after a crash...TWICE. I have a couple of friends in wheel chairs. I've watched helpless as my riding buddies take their last gasps of air while they ask how bad of shape their bike is in. I've attended at least a dozen of my fellow bikers funerals over the years and have narrowly missed having one of my own on several occasions. I understand the risks with every part of my being. To tell you the truth,I doubt that most of you do... if you did some of you would probably quit.
