Fear of death or injury

[furious_blue_imp]

Like others have noted, on days that I *don't* have a sense of mortality, I park the motorcycle. I also get around a lot in crowded city traffic by bicycle, which IMHO is far more risky than a motorcycle since one can only stop or get out of the way because there's no 'power ahead' option.
Nowadays when I go out on a motorcycle I wear one of those off-road neck braces, a pair of those off-road rigid articulated knee braces, and road boots that have stiff ankle twist protection. None of these things will help in a high speed wreck or if I get run over, but they may save some crucial joints in a low speed or no-speed spill...
I look kind of strange in all that gear, but it's my life and limbs :-)
