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.
Thats called defensive riding, not a bad way to ride imo, assume every t**t in every other vehicle around you are trying to kill you.

Regarding your mates playing cat and mouse at 120, if they keep doing that, at the very least they will lose their license.
