Did anyone see the MotoGP race where they had the gyroscopic camera on Valentino Rossi's bike? He was getting some lean on that thing.. 

Here is a link to a video clip on the MotoGP site.

Holy crap!  This is an AWESOME clip!

Sport bike guys talk about getting the knee down. Those guys get an ear down. That camera is super cool.

I saw that race. It was the MotoGP at Laguna Seca in Monterey a couple weeks ago. It was Valentino's return to racing after cracking up and breaking his leg in early June. Did you notice the cane he was using at the end? He placed third in that race.

Yeah that was a good return for him. It's odd seeing him walking with a cane but yet racing that good.

Yes, such a quick comeback was remarkable, but then he’s young. Christ! I’m still nursing a broken shoulder/clavicle from two and a half years ago.

Then again, maybe he likes this kind of attention…

I would have a big smile on my face if I was in between those two also.
