That really blows mate, I really feel for ya. I have been rubber side up a few times on track but I couldn't imagine the terror of sliding into incoming traffic. It might not feel like it now but the gods smiled on you! That picture is epic, you look like you went 12 rounds with Tyson. But seriously I am glad to hear you are still here (alive), people have done less and not gotten away with it. Heal up fast and all the best with the recovery.

A US motorcycling website published this article:

http://www.dirtrider.com/features/spy-guy-2015-honda-cr250r-direct-inject-two-stroke/#ixzz2xeiMQ9Fn

We have been fielding phone calls ever since. FYI Honda haven't made a 2 stroke since about 2007, if they did they would sell thousands of them. I hope they actually see this and think , hey it's not a bad idea.

Also Sarah Palin thinks the missing plane flew to god, not sure if this was a fake/april fools or srs? can't tell with her.

Was going to continue in the model plane thread but though this sort of thing could use its own thread regarding plane spotting etc.

In Invers, just noticed a louder than normal take off noise and went out to investigate.
Didn't seem to be the run of the mill normal plane to come out of here as it didn't sound familiar.

ASY474 Royal Australian Air Force Airbus KC-30A (A330-203MRTT)

Being Air force tagged I am guessing it is Military but military supply/cargo or military personal carrier?
Any clues?

I see Dana Johnannsen (NZH) is getting a right royal bollocking on social media for her take on the Sochi.
Facefuck appreciation page is here: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Bullshit-articles-by-Dana-Johannsen/682600031791693
Her main article that is causing it is here: http://www.nzherald.co.nz/dana-johannsen/news/article.cfm?a_id=360&objectid=11204998

She didn't help herself in the fact that she tweeted prior to the Olympics "Trying my hand at covering Winter Olympics. Apparently Christy Prior is amped to shred in the semifinals...I don't even know what that means."
Nice to see they send a reporter to try her hand at something as small as winter Olympics.

there was a zombie app at one stage, it had zombie noises if you slowed down they got louder, if you sped up they got further away etc. great idea (especially when you do late night or early morning runs in forest) but too expensive though.

Why it is none other than an XT racing 8 channel GPX pro data logger supplied by none other than Race Supplies at the price of a small kingdom. No, it's not actually that expensive for what it does. Very handy tool.

8 channels? what're you logging?

I'm learning all about data logging at the moment (coming soon: Formula SAE thread)

The loggers are either 4 or 8 channels.
I am not using all the channels yet but will in the future, (i figured its better to have more channels and not use them than not have enough). So far, RPM, TPS, Brake, Water temp and countershaft speed. (it logs GPS, speed, and g force by default). In the future I will prob get suspension probes.
