    Thanks, Maakz. It's a fairly normal thing (docs still just can't quite get it under control)... Was unusual to have had two in a day though.

    Probably got tired out and weakened by the big move - Gotta get some of 'dem Chinese herbal stuff in her!

    Yeah, looks like I missed yet another great ride... Ah well, next week, hopefully.

    Word going around is that the cops are planning a blitz on bikes in Nov. Everything from regos and WOFs to speed. They often pick on bikes at the beginning of summer as some riders have had their bike regos on hold, and get the bike out before the wallet.

    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!

    Disclaimer:
    The SASS activity is intended to give any riders advice on their riding and to practice their skills in a safe and relaxed environment. The organisers of SASS are NOT responsible for any rider, their machines and/or any persons involved. All people attending SASS do so at their own risk.

    Wow, what a beaut of a day for riding. Good to see so many bikes out.

    Did maraetai, kawakawa, orere point and some other little bits and pieces. Met a couple of other kawa riders, who ill no doubt go on some future rides with.

    And traffic wasn't even that bad !

    Sure was a beauty for riding. Pillion and I rode down to Nikau Cave cafe, (off SH22, ) cracker ride, minimal traffic after clearing that bottleneck on the southern this arvo. Sis NZSpokes I remembered that look for the exit eyes up and made crooked things straight. Thanks. Had a great pizza there and then a liesurely ride back. Kept thinking about what I was told about riding packed out with carbs. Made it fine.

    Certainly was a pearler today. Talked my bro into coming for a ride with me out around Maraetai since I still have 2 bikes in the garage. He hadn't ridden for probably 20 years, but seemed to get the hang of the Fazer OK. What a great day!

    I didnt use it. Just my sheepy with a bit of foam under it. Got quite tired towards the end and started blowing corners so backed off.
