So recently I saw some moto gp action on the speed channel and oh my god these guys are insane. It is my new favorite form of racing. These guys are insane. They go as fast as formula 1 but its so much more dangerous because if they crash they are screwed. I just love how they pass people like it is nothing, its crazy how in same races there are like 2 and 3 passes per corner. They lay their bikes over so far its just crazy. I dont know if anyone else watches this stuff but i think it is absolutely insane.
Here is a video of the last lap at the Spanish grand prix, with Valentino Rossi and Sete Gibernau.

Also, there are some crazy mother fuckers who decided that moto gp wasnt gnarly enough and decided to take the same bikes from moto gp and race on city streets. They have several tracks where they do these TT races and it is hectic. These guys come flying down these streets doing close to 180 and launch off little gnolls trying not to destroy themselves. These guys have to be the ballsiest little punks in the world.
