Silly uses for an R1
Check this off road modified R1 out 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-Duz...layer_embedded
And this rev limiter testing whore on the ice. Nice wheelies! 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsLOZ...layer_embedded
Say what you will, evidently the R1 motor is pretty durable

A Kourier has to establish space on the pavement. Predictable law-abiding behaviour lulls drivers. They mentally assign you to a little box in the lane, assume you will stay there, can't handle it when you leave that little box.
Y.T. is not fond of boxes. Y.T. establishes her space on the pavement by zagging mightily from lane to lane, establishing a precedent of scary randomness. Keeps people on their toes, makes them react to her, instead of the other way round.

Hey, not everyone can afford more than one bike. Sometimes you jsut have to make due.
