South Auckland Street Skills

Good excuse to take the subie for a blat lol

A former acquaintance of mine was on holiday in Europe, bicycling with his wife and children and was stung by a bee.

He died within 20 minutes from a previously un-diagnosed allergy - scary stuff.

It's usually the second sting that gets you. First sting is when the allergy develops. Second sting is where you find out you have the allergy. Dangerous stuff!

I had not been stung before I reacted to a sting. Ended up spending 2 hours being injected with adrenalin into my inner thigh, not fun.

With penicillin I had had it a good few times before.

At this stage the weather isn't looking too good for Tuesday.
Might be a time for theory at the local Broncos???
What do you all think???

Its not looking that bad. Not raining just a bit windy.

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

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 ©!

Tigadee is the most prepared, he brings spare undies.

Hell yeah! Who hasn't had any sphincter-loosening moments?

I know I had one after a bad half-doz of oysters! AND my mom's colon cleansing recipe!

I should be at the pub Tues night, bike is waiting to be fixed this Thurs (got the parts already mostly from MotoOne - Richard says 'Hi'. Spokes, you should fix SASS up with an account there or something, just a SASS discount or some such).

Ooooh, the debates that will arise out of point 5...

I've got an allergy... to poverty. Anyone got a million they'd like to give away to me?

Weather for tomorrow night looks to be a little warmer than tonight and no rain. This may change of course.

Remember to bring your warm gear.

Check all your lights are working.

I still need to get some hand guards.

Yeah I take most with a grain of salt , I don't cover the front brake as I should , down a gear is just for me 4000rpm roll off exhaust pops = smiles .better that coffee in the morning . I don't believe in loud pipes save lives . The sound is behind you . And I'm a boy racer who loves loud engines . And where else do you get listen to the an intake roar and an exhaust pop - motorbikes !

so you would get noticed.

me i just have more lights and the odd backfire (flames optional)

if you like loud engines, try a detroit diesel V16 with no muffler in the morning, beats most things hands down. Google them being driven in trucks. Had one at work a while back.

With Penicillin anything thing we should know?
I know someone with this same problem, I suspect she doesnt know what to do.
