    My 2 year old loved that video. He said that had to have hurt with that major fall. Smart kid.

    That was Conor Cummins in the 2010 race flying over the bank. He broke 5 vertebrae in his back and shattered his left arm. They managed to put him back together and he is racing again.

    I'd love to attend that event someday...

    Here's a video of a full lap of the Isle of Man at full speed. Turn up the volume and enjoy. It takes 18 minutes so get comfortable. http://www.streetfire.net/video/Isle...Lap_732283.htm

    Not saying I don't like it and have no idea what the tune is or from where it comes.
    It's just very intrusive upon the visual subject matter,IMO.

    Yeah, good movies mostly due to Matt Damon's abilities.
    The kid has real acting chops, have enjoyed every role I've seen him play.
    Plus we share a birthday... the month and date anyway.

    Haha. Damon is the American Bond. At least in my eyes that is.
