A few years ago, Michael Jordan (yes, *that* Michael Jordan), was at a
MotoGP race in Europe, and got himself a few laps of the track riding
Ducati's two-up demo bike. He also did some time riding shotgun to
Valentino Rossi in a BMW M-5. Rossi is six time world champion on a
motorcycle... and no slouch in a car. MJ should have known that Rossi
doesn't drive slow, either. If the moto bit isn't interesting to you,
the car bit starts just past the two minute mark in this video...
