Just my tuppence on the original post, I wouldn't say I ride with real fear, but I always ride knowing that I am more vulnerable than any other person on the road. I think the realisation of ones vulnerability is a good thing, it certainly makes me ride with more attention, alertness and sensibility.
I don't know whether it's a natural feeling, or just that I am still a newbie on two wheels and a certain degree of complacency/confidence has yet to set in...

I have a few friends that enjoy playing cat/mouse at a ton-20 on the bypasses around here. Doesn't interest me.
