Oh god, I've just scared myself even more!
I will let you know how it goes. If you don't hear from me, I didn't make it and got hit by a bus.
If you rode a motorcycle in the city, what would that be like? Ride with traffic and let them pass you. You have to trust in this and yea, buss drivers drive all day long and it must get hum-drum for them. I think 1/2 of them drunk in my town!
