OK, you get the idea, I hit the potholes. Almost every single pothole that presented itself. And I broke all of the rules.

That makes for one happy Amy, motorbike and all.
Oh, and if you're going to do all of the above, don't time travel, but that's not one of Amy's rules, it was in the rental agency contract.
