great read thanks for posting it, i should add that one does not need to actually hit the grey to feel this anxiety, in fact sometimes a near miss can be just as unsettling and test ones confidence on a bike. Fortunately for me aside from self induced fall overs, wipe outs on the dust by a curb or something of the like i have been spared some of this which i suppose makes me the "those that haven't yet" ARG, even that thought is less then great, but i would never stop riding.... dirt bikes...well now thats a whole nother story! :-)
