I know how you feel. I'm still young enough to shake it off, but I'm hoping that I will have fewer and fewer close calls as I get older. They're gotten a bit better, but every once and awhile, I'll get run out of my lane by an idiot or have to come screeching to a halt because someone "didn't see me."
All that is part of my motivation to get the Burgman instead of my Reflex. The Reflex is nice, but the Burgman is stronger, bigger, and brakes far better than my Reflex. I still won't feel safe -- but I'd much rather be riding a big scooter and enjoying ride than be crammed in a cage (especially on vacations, when I'll have the TTT
).
