I suggest riding away from all cars in a secure area for a while. (when your ready to start back)Your not afraid of the bike just the cars I bet.
like me you may find your style has changed for the better. I hope you can enjoy a nice ride again.

^ thanks.... You pretty much have it right, it's not the bike I am afraid of....

I just would like to know it's going to be something I can manage "before" buying another bike...

hard not to be scared of cars when you get hit by one.....i got cut off on the veterans expressway by a car and went down with my girl on the bike in dec. it happened so fast there really wasnt anything i could have done about it.but the first couple times i rode after that it was scary just looking down at the ground when i got it up to speed on a major road....the worst part of all though is sliding and looking back and seeing cars doing 80 mph coming at me as my gf is flipping...dont rush it.take short rides for a while .
