Don't know what it was like for you guys last week, but on the SATNR last we nearly froze! I Kid you not. Coldest I've ever been on a bike and I have ridden through some pretty awful stuff down on Pudding Lane ( Desert Road ) and other locale's over the years.
Actually didn't enjoy the ride, too busy staying warm, alert and alive on slipped out roads and huge expanses of metal. Deep Metal.
Still, be doling it all again next week.

Not too bad but I recently bought a Fleece lined Highviz which makes a huge improvement. Along with hand guards and heated grips ect etc.

A lot of the south Auck roads seem to be in bad shape of late. Coast road to Kaiaua is nasty.

Good call Saarg

I eventually got home (in the cage)

It seems that whenever it rains, it brings out the worst drivers doing all the things that shouldn't be done in wet weather.

So it is safer for us to keep off the roads tonight.

I am going on a road trip, or bike trip and returning next Tuesday.

I am not sure if I will be back in time for SASS next week

Cheers,

We can't argue - if you have a bike, you have indeed begun to sort your life out. We should warn you, life will never be the same.

I have just checked the front page. The only thing correct is the start point. We are still meeting at Z station on Taka St and Great South Road. From there we sometimes do carpark work at Southgate before deciding on what roads to practise on.
We have been a bit casual over winter and some times just gone for a pootle.

Very nice. if thats the case don't bother looking at the newer ones, 2014 onwards.
when you get the chance have a look at the 2017-18 F 800gsa.
Experience BMW in kingsland (pack of wankers imho) have a deal on at the moment, $24k bike for 1% interest $6000 a year type thing, no cancel penalty.
for what you pay for a newer 2015 -> f650, you will get twice the features, comfort, and travel distance on an F800 gsa, for a couple bucks more it is twice the bike especially if you sell it before the term runs out... cause its a $24k bike for $6k a year

food for thought. :)

catch you at sass next, chat some more

Generally they were some time at a carpark doing some slow speed then a ride in country. Bit of mentoring has been known to take place.

Followed by a coffee somewhere.

I'm curious. What do you do?The general idea was to provide an opportunity for new or returning riders (or just anyone who wants to) to develop their skills with a bit of mentoring along the way. Generally starts with short trip to a local carpark to practice some low speed skills such as counter steering or emergency braking. After that, a reasonably sedate ride somewhere around rural South Auckland. Speed of the ride is tailored to the experience of those riding. The rural ride is aimed at practising roadcraft. Ride ends at a pub somewhere for a few quiets or a coffee, and a few yarns. Then home before the learners breach curfew.

Thanks. If it starts up again, I might come as my low speed riding skills aren't great. But then, I try to avoid low speed riding as much as possible. :)

Cool, that's a handful of us interested then.

Today's weather has been pretty shite, and tomorrow is looking to be the same. Maybe next week will improve.

Great video with some good tips. I never rode in the parts of Scotland they they're riding in, but doesn't look like I missed out on much. Some of those small villages they ride through are pretty depressing looking.

Works for me - I was quite keen for a ride out tonight but I'm a bit of a stranger to wet weather riding just now.

Next week it is. :2thumbsup

Was keen for a ride tomorrow night but I came back from overseas on Friday to find a screw right through my back wheel and my tyre completely flat.

Hoping to have it sorted before next SASS.

Was indeed, and great to get back into the SASS ride again.

Hopefully more people will start to come back the further we get into summer.

Here's a snap of the end of the ride - sunstrike and all:

Gutted. If anyone else is keen for a blat around tonight, I will be. I was thinking of going to a Suzuki track day at Puke in March, but I definitely need more seat time if that's to happen..

To be fair the Ride Forever courses have really taken the place of these rides. Companies like Riderskills and Passmasters are doing a very good job of it out there.

Then there are those strange IAM Roadsmart lot that people seem to go to.

You back on a Gixxer?
