RE: How much do you really know?
im "well rounded"
You have a good idea how the stuff works, and you understand some diagnostics and repair as well as tuning and performance. You probably get a lot of phone calls and emails from your buddies, asking for advice on repair shops, what vehicles to buy, and what go-fast stuff works and what's junk. You're rightfully proud of your knowledge and skills, but you've still got a lot left to learn. Fret not; resources like my own 'Motorcycle Fuel Injection Handbook' will go a long way toward your understanding of gasoline-powered four-stroke engines, and what tuning gizmos are truly useful. Keep up the good work

You scored 69% Practical, 67% Theory, and 61% Performance!
Well, you understand the physics and principles behind internal combustion, and can even put them to use diagnosing problems. But you lack practical tuning experience that would make you a perfect all-around combustion science expert. You're off to a good start, though, so keep learning!

Your knowledge of combustion theory, combined with your impeccable knowledge of diagnostics and repair, marks you as a senior or dealership mechanic. But every shop has one guy who is looked upon by the other mechanics as "The Boss"; the guy who had forgotten more than most guys have ever learned, the guy who always knows which exhaust system will make a bike or car really rip. You're calm, measured and knowledgeable, and your customers ask for you by name. Keep learning, and maybe you'll end up like me one day... A moto-journalist who gets to try out all the new bikes, tour factories, travel to the races on a regular basis, and cash those checks from the magazines and your publishing company. Ahh, life is grand, and it's only getting better, right?

You scored 61% Practical, 43% Theory, and 56% Performance!... dang not as much as i had hoped, but at the same time i knew there was things that i didnt know and didn't fully understand

You scored 70% Practical, 72% Theory, and 68% Performance!
You are the complete package; you know the scientific fundamentals, and you have put them into practice with not only practical diagnostic and repair knowledge, but a brilliant mind for tuning. You could probably have written my book, 'The Motorcycle Fuel Injection Handbook', yourself. Email me; maybe we will collaborate on something!
