I'm wondreing if its its actually possible to not look cool riding one of those bikes.

Its very possible not to look cool riding those bikes. I remember the interview with shane byrne after he rode the aprillia moto GP bike for the first time.
He said he spend half the lap on the back wheen, the other half on the front wheel and couldent even remember any of the corners! They aint as bad as the old savage 500's were but not exactly you average road bike.
These riders are a select group of very special people, us mere mortals can aspire to be british supersport privateers, some people even more, but moto GP harbours a select few.
I'd love to have a crack on one, but I think it would take a fair bit of practise before I looked anything other than scared and out of controll :-)

You'd be surprised how easy it is to not look cool. I love the guy on the start line 1:13 in.

I believe Gary McCoy will be racing in the last 2 races this year on a new MotoGP bike from Ilmor :)

For the king of slide on the old 500cc 2-strokes, you want to find footage of Gary Mcoy on the RedBull Yamaha's.

That'll be because of his speedway experience then! Of course, he had no brakes when he did it on the shale!
