I guess it�s more to do with mental preparation, coping with the fear of damaging your pride and joy, rather than the actual physical preparation of the bike. Preparing your mind is the best way to stay safe, stay upright and enjoy your ride.
Try and tune in to the aspect of fear that's rewarding � focus on the enjoyable bit. Think about that ride again: You clearly felt plenty of fear, but (correct me if I'm wrong) you were also having a great time?
Let's face it, a life without fear (and without courage to overcome fear) would be pretty bland and insipid.
I think GULG sums it up brilliantly...

^That�s a result of forgetting about the fear and focussing in on the fun.

Indeedy.
We are all unique. You alone are the only one who can really sort this one out. After all it�s in your head and no one else can see in there!
