Late to this, but happy St. Patrick's Day anyhow.
Loved every second of this right here: http://youtu.be/kGIjetX6TBk
It's a motogp video of motorcycles doing motorcycle stuff. So if you're not into that don't bother clicking through. I would have embedded it but embedding is disabled. Lame.
@ 2:40 you will see Casey Stoner get pitched onto his front windscreen at 160 MPH. That was at the Sachsenring in Germany during a practice lap. The slow motion footage doesn't do it justice; you don't really get a feel for how fast he's going until you see the whole crash. That high side (and several others) encouraged Bridgestone to (finally) produce an asymmetrical front and rear tire. Sachsenring has something like 9 lefts and only 4 rights, and the first right-hander is the fastest. And it's downhill.

i don't give a dam about bikes (cept that you don't die on one, and "the art of racing in the rain" rules, well actually the"Senna" documentary is cool too), but that was sweet.
