Anyone share this anxiety?
Yes. You have to realize that no matterr how good your skills are, thing outside your control can happen (front flat, car or motorcycle, coming into your lane, etc)

At 50+mph, if things go bad, its going to hurt. You have to ask yourself what level of risk you're willing to accept, and balance the risk/reward.
