IF, LIKE MANY you're brassed off with Google Streetview's car circulating your locality, showing every Tom, Dick and thieving bastard Harry what's parked on your driveway then you may find this image, snapped in a town in France, rather amusing.

The Yamaha YZF-R1 rider hoiked a bigg'un as he passed Google's camera-car as it drove around his local town gathering information.

Good work, French bloke. That'll show the buggers.

"The Yamaha YZF-R1 rider hoiked a bigg'un as he passed Google's camera-car and is now becoming the source of much humility on websites all around the world."

Why are websites around the world being modest about this?

I was passed, a few years ago while disqualified, by a guy on an R1 who hoisted the best 1up I'd seen since Fishman introduced me to the sport... from the end of the A316 to the start of the M3... he was standing & in complete control. It was awesome. I waved as he came bye.
