Found this this morning and thought I'd share the link. Good data for you Mile+ guys!
How does the earth's rotation affect the path of a bullet?
For DoD'ers: "In Sacramento, the rotation of the earth causes your [bike] to drift about 16 feet to the right per mile." so when doing a wheelie you will have to lean to compensate. Shaft drive bikes aren't affected because, as everyone knows, shaft drive bikes can't wheelie.
