Essential info for the newbies to SASS:
South Auckland Street Skills or SASS

WHAT: Learning and improving Riding Skills
WHEN: Tuesday Nights
WHERE: Meet at Z (ex-Shell) Service Station, Cnr Great South Road and Taka St, TAKANINI (the one with a Burger King)
WHO: Riders new and old, and anyone getting back into Motorcycling (must be legal & hold a motorcycle license).
Weather and venue permitting - Heavy Rain may mean that we are watching DVDs. Showers are OK, look on the thread for more up-to-date information.
Depending on the number of riders and their experience levels, a short ride may be included to practice further skills. If there are enough riders, some nights can be split into two different groups.

Some nights may include:
Practicing essential skills and techniques in a quiet carpark
On-the-road practice which may see you doing up to a 1hr - 1 1/2hr ride.

WHY:
- Practice essential skills for staying alive on the road.
- Practical help with your riding.
- Fun times with fellow riders, with great stories and discussions.
- Build friendships, solicit advice and pick-up riding tips.

MEET at Z station Takanini -----------> before 6.55pm

START ride -----------------------------> 7pm

FINISH ride at ex-Manukau City Council car park for slow-speed safety exercises -----> usually 8pm-8.15pm
(next to the new Manukau train station & opp. police station)

SOCIAL time @ BRONCOS after car park exercises -----------> 8.45pm-ish

Cost: Nil, nada, zip, zero, nothing... Just your time and attention.

Details of what will be happening each week will be posted on this thread. So kick the tires and light the fires... Let's ride, aSASSins ©!

Sis, what Com's unit do you have? Is it Bluetooth?

My comms unit is Nolan. Same as the helmet.
Is it worth charging the battery to see if it is compatible with something else?

I wont be there tonight. But we are thinking about a Sena system. I shall ask Gremlin.

[Sis]

Just checking the weather to see if it is on for tonight.
Looks like the weather may turn to shit about the time that we gather at Z.

If dry, I will be there.

[nzspokes]

Very Dark here, we are staying home.

[Sis]

Dry here so I am getting on my bike to see who turns up.

[nzspokes]

So whom is coming tonight?

Dress very warm as it will be cold, very cold.

I may have another rider with me.

[Sis]

I will be there, with many layers on

I had a trip to Taupo (Ulysses Remembrance) and have quite a story to tell about how SASS really helped me that weekend.

How my actions were instinctive (rather than reactive) and saved me.

And all because of the practise at SASS every week.
