Fear... it's what makes you feel alive
I guess we all feel the same way, if we were bold enough to admit it to ourselves...
Personally, after an accident many years ago caused by simply getting on my bike and riding off (without having first re-calibrated my brain to the task of riding), I've developed a sort of ritual that I go through every time I get on the bike. Just takes a few seconds to run through and I'm mentally prepared, and ready to go. Calms the demons, too...
Oh, and I've also found that advanced training, through the IAM, helped me a lot more than I expected.
Bottom-line, as I age, I realise I don't know it all, and probably never will, but that shouldn't stop me trying to!
