North Auckland Street Skills - NASS

[Mongolian]

I'll be there. Also keen for no gravel.

[GSeX]

If we do usual Riverhead route, leaves time for slow speed practice at the carpark. Yeah/nah?

This option sounds good to me.

[p.dath]

Alas I am working tonight so wont be along - but I should be back next week! I have a new tyre I want to get some km's on.

[angle]

Front fork is at cycletreads to have seals replaced. Blew on me yesterday at the start of SASS.

That's why you shouldn't hang out with South Aucklanders, dodgy folk they are, you'll never know what obscenity they'll do to your bike next time.

[angle]

Well, it was a good session yesterday concentrating on covering <strike>clutch up wheelies</strike> advanced throttle and clutch control with good briefs and demonstrations from our guest celebrity:Punk:

[stevet]

What time and where do you guys meet up?

[jeeron]

When: Wednesday Nights
Where: Meet at Shell Westgate or Albany Noel Lemming Carpark (Check thread for updates)

https://goo.gl/maps/iuG0D that's where the ride starts from and then it's going to Noel Lemming Carpark right here: https://goo.gl/maps/kBy3z

[jeeron]

Anything serious for tonight?

But pre warning I do want to get to the pub in time for dinner!

Anyone going tonight?

I can't make it tonight, have fun guys.

[p.dath]

I don't I'll be along tonight. Perhaps someone else could do the car park session ...

[Juniper]

Errrrr. Please come. I've convinced this kid to come because the lunatic we were riding with the other day was giving such bad advice I said "you can trust Phil!"

:P

[jeeron]

I might show up at the car park... But I`ll have to find some motivation/energy to get of my ass

https://www.cbr.nl/motoroefeningen.pp

These are the excercises that have to be done in the Netherlands if you want to get your license. Can't get google to translate the website so here's a little recaps:


It is mandatory that you complete at least one excercise from each cluster
The examiner chooses three exercices you have to complete


So in total 7 excercises have to be done with confidence and up to standard. If you give the examiner the idea that you're not in control of the bike, you fail. If you can't get it right on a second try... you fail. (no pressure there)

Cluster 1:
https://www.cbr.nl/imgcontent/cluster1-Achteruit-parkeren.jpg
Parking the bike, you'll have to push it back into a carpark. (Can't be on the bike)


Cluster 2:
https://www.cbr.nl/imgcontent/cluster2-1-Langzame-slalom.jpg
Slow slalom (mandatory) - Done at walking pace, with your feet on the pegs and without touching the cones

https://www.cbr.nl/imgcontent/cluster2-2-Wegrijden-uit-parkeervak.jpg
Riding out of a parking space - Sharp corner to either left or right without losing balance

https://www.cbr.nl/imgcontent/cluster2-3-Denkbeeldinge-acht.jpg
Figure 8 - Write a nice smooth number at a constant speed within a rectangle

https://www.cbr.nl/imgcontent/cluster2-4-Stapvoets-rechtdoor-rijden.jpg
Riding at walking pace in straight line - keep your feet on the pegs and don't go faster than the person walking next to you

https://www.cbr.nl/imgcontent/Cluster2-5-Halve-draai.jpg
U-Turn - speaks for itself


Cluster 3:
https://www.cbr.nl/imgcontent/Cluster3-1-Uitwijkoefening.jpg
Evasive manouver (Mandatory) - You're riding 50km/h and oh shit there's a truck/car whatever suddenly on your side of the road. Miss that shitty driver and get back to your own side of the road before you hit the wall.

https://www.cbr.nl/imgcontent/Cluster3-2-Snelle-slalom.jpg
Quick slalom - min. speed 30km/h and do it smoothly

https://www.cbr.nl/imgcontent/Cluster3-3-Vertragingsoefening.jpg
Delay excercice O.o - from a full stop you speed up to 50km/h, slow down to 30km/h after the gate and shift down at least once, and navigate the cones that follow at that speed.


Cluster 4:
https://www.cbr.nl/imgcontent/Cluster4-1-Noodstop.jpg
Emergency stop (Mandatory) - min. speed is 50km/h and stop as quickly as you can with the shiny parts up and the rubber on the road

https://www.cbr.nl/imgcontent/Cluster4-2-Precisiestop.jpg
Precision stop - min. speed 50km/h and stop at predetermined spot.

https://www.cbr.nl/imgcontent/Cluster4-3-Stopproef.jpg
Brake excercise - Just regular braking, just before you come a complete stop you downshift to first so you can ride off again. (think of it as a traffic light excercise or something

-----------------------
If like me you started with your motorcycle license, you're not allowed on the road unless you got your vehicle control certificate.
If you already have another license it's up to the instructor whether or not he thinks you got enough control over the bike to take you out for a ride on the road. And even then it usually consists of riding to and from the storage to training area.

[p.dath]

Wow that is a lot more intensive than here!

[Juniper]

Wow ok so theres a few we havent tried yet.

I'm keen for tonight. Anyone else?

[jeeron]

If my neck decides to start working the way it should I`ll be around.

These are usually taught in 4 mornings before you do the exam. Works like a charm, you got a good a idea of what the bike can do and cornering goes reasonably smooth from the get go.

[Riddler]

I'm keen Juno :yes:

[GSeX]

I'll be going

[TheDemonLord]

Since Sprog has arrived, I probably won't be along for a while

If we get a lot of riders along tonight again I think we'll split the group into two for the ride. The faster group can go for a longer ride.

if i ever finish work.......

Fuck you NetFlow Analyzer and Spectrum.

Still 630pm Shell Westgate?

How long does the ride go for?

[Juniper]

I think I'm going to have to meet you guys at the carpark. I'm still at work....... :(

[The End]

Where are the group who want to go on a ride and not do the skills meeting?

Edit: is this a ride or just carpark skills?

[Juniper]

Both. You'll start at the same place and just take the longer route to the carpark to see if were still there, or go off to the pub.

hmmmm... if I leave work now I wonder if I'll get there in time.

[p.dath]

Sorry for the late breaking news, but I am having to attend to a high priority fault, that will take me many many hours before I can leave it. I wont be along tonight now.

[Juniper]

We had fun anyway. It was good to see some of the Subzeor guys turn up.

We did brake and evade. I only got clipped once!

Would love to - but alas no, I am on Parent duty from 6-10 (so the wife can try and get some sleep)

However sometime in May I will be along (catch ups and beers etc.)

[MarkW]

It's tax time again so I'm going to be in the big city again next week.

Thought I might try and run a controlled braking session on Wednesday evening at the Albany Carpark - wet or dry.

Won't do the ride from Westgate as I'm in the car and don't want to suggest Ridge Road in case you know who gets all shitty again!

What time will you be at the carpark?

[p.dath]

Bring your rain coat Mark.

[MarkW]

I can be at the car park by 7pm if necessary but had planned to be there by 7.30pm which is generally about when the Z Westgate riders arrive. If I know that there are going to be riders who want to start the training at 7pm I will be there for that time. Extra braking practice is always useful. If, however, you only want to talk garbage at 7pm then I'd prefer the 7.30 start. Talking garbage can be done at the pub afterwards.

As for a rain coat. Didn't bring one with me as, since moving to Northland, I've almost forgotten what rain and cold look like. So, if it is persisting down on Wednesday night, if anyone has a cheap light raincoat suitable for an elderly, average height, overweight instructor to borrow for an hour or so I would be most grateful. Even a folding umbrella would help!

I've got a parker you can borrow. It's the one I use at the track.

I've posted this up on Facebook as there are a few on there that are not on here. Last couple of weeks we have had very new riders come along which I think would benefit more from going straight to the carpark to make the most of your time than to meet at Z.

I would like to get to the carpark as soon as possible to make the most of the session.

[MarkW]

Thanks for the parka offer, yes please.

And I'll be at the Albany Car park ready to go from 7pm. If numbers are larger then I may run say 3 30 minute sessions, each session having 4, 5, 6 riders say actually practising whilst the rest either watch closely or socialise. Having a shorter gap between each practice run (with a small group) is more productive than have a 20 bike group all at once. So if you want extra practice then turn up early! First in, first served.

[Rikard]

Oh man this is exactly what I need! Keen to be involved, where and when will you guys be meeting next week?

Unfortunately will not be able to attend tonight, working.

Looks like I'm back in Auckland - lots of nice traffic to play in.

But, I'll rock up to NASS again - how about playing with a longer corner (like a big wide U turn) and getting the motorcycle balanced with the eyes looking where you are hoping to go?

And I've packed an umbrella this time. And a warmer jacket.

Its about people sharing their views and experiences and for those people who come along to assimilate that information. Choose what sounds like the good bits, and reject the bad.

- Stop riding for 12 Months

- Install Turbo on Hayabusa
- Start riding again on a 300 hp+ Death Machine

Good Luck - hope you don't twat yourself!

Was gonna wait another year until I started it but decided that nows the time to pull trigger. Front brakes squeeling, potentally warped rotors, tappets ticking, rough idle, 51k on clock. Gonna document it on here hopefully.

Got another bike in the shed that needs to be moved before work can commence though. Hopefully crack the motor cases next month and get the head and crank sent away.

Ride your busa for a year and I may let have a turn. Fuck all roads around Auckland where you can actually open one up "safely"

Sorry I wont be along again tonight. I still have an issue with the charging system on my bike. Went to get a new reg/rectifier to resolve it, and got one of the newer style MOSFET units (more by accident, because they were in stock, while the standard shunt ones were two weeks away). Of course, the connectors are different, so I now have to modify the wiring to fit it back to the bike.

Typical Honda :)

Unfortunately I will not be along either, this and next week as well. Overseas.

It so happens that I will be down in Auckland next week so I'll be waiting in the Albany Carpark by 7.30pm. Hopefully it won't be as chilly out as it is tonight.

Well I finished fitting a new MOSFET regulator/rectifier last night, and if all the claims are true about their lifetime, it should last the rest of the bikes lifetime. Painfully the new regulator/rectifier had different mounting holes and connectors, so I had to re-terminate the stator and battery wires onto new connectors.

However after a week of trickle charging the battery is not able to hold a charge, so off to get a replacement battery today now.

Who's coming tonight? The rain is just on and off sprinkling.. don't be wusses ;)

[Juniper]

I should be.

[5ive]

I won't be there tonight, my bike needs oil.

[nelubian]

I will come tonight (orange cruiser)

[Arkady]

Is this thing on today? Anyone popping over?

[Juniper]

Sorry Magic Mike XXL tonight!!!

It's always on, but the turnout varies.. I'm waiting to see if it's going to rain much

[Arkady]

Oh well, i will go either way. Rain is somewhat nice if you can manage to stay dry.

I am coming tonight. Couple of drops may happen even in dry weather, not so scary.

[jeeron]

Back in town, and can someone please explain to me why it's so cold?

[Jezxa]

Should have stayed in the northern hemisphere for a bit longer.

[5ive]

I think it might be winter.

[jeeron]

Don't expect me tonight. Fighting off a sinus infection my lovely flatmate gave me -_-

[nelubian]

Not coming either. Have got a cold or similar.

[Arkady]

Sorry for not showing up today. Bike is overdue for an oil change after running in and i haven't got a garage so couldn't do it while it was pissing down. Will be there next week.

[Juniper]

weathers looking good. I might come out to the Z Station tonight.

Someone please remind me to get milk and sugar on the way home!

[jeeron]

I'll see you guys at the parking

[nelubian]

I am coming to Z

[nelubian]

Sorry, broke fuel hose on the way home, couldn't come.

[MarkW]

Back in the big city this week. Probably why it is raining. Will be in attendance at Albany by 7.30pm.

[nelubian]

Repaired the hose. Was hit by a car yesterday and broke clutch lever. Replaced clutch lever, so coming to Z tonight.

Hit by a car?! What happened?

Given the weather I'm probably just going to flag tonight. Even though I have my Yoshi to show off.

Hit by a car?! What happened?

I was filtering stationary traffic at 10-15kmh, guy didn't see me and decided to move a bit towards right lane ... without any indication, unexpectedly, right in a front of my nose (actually moved in me). The traffic was stationary, however the queue in a front started moving, so the guy (probably) decided to start changing the lane in advance. Speed wasn't high, it felt like I fell from a small chair, I am ok.

[DanielM8]

Is anybody coming on the ride/to the bar tonight, in this weather?

[5ive]

Nah, not me :no:

[jeeron]

I'll show up at the car park

Hey,

Where do you guys ride and how long for, I'm quite keen to join.
And I would really like to see that RC390 in real life. :)
Do you guys mind a little 125 trying to keep up?
I ride a Honda Grom/MSX 125.

Cheers.

This guy know knows what's up haha! We usually just ride from Westgate to Albany at a pretty relaxed pace. There's a girl with a GN125 who comes along usually so you won't be the only one :). We usually pop down to a bar after for a drink and a yarn and finish up around 9.30 after some low speed practise at a car park.

Sounds awesome, subscribed to this thread, so hopefully next time I can join.
How many riders are there on average on this ride?
Looking forward to ride and learn!

Can we have a play on your Grom?! I've always wanted to ride one of those.

[tias]

Haha, you sure can!
They're fun little things, I love trying to get the most out of small machines.
Bit of a moneypit but it's all good fun.

I miss coming to The Car Park and getting my low speed practice on.

Pull the clutch in, rev to the power band, drop the Clutch

If that doesn't work, you might need to bounce the front wheel to persuade it to come up, if it still doesn't work, lean back

I used to take my Hayabusa fairly regularly. You can do a uturn in less than two parking spaces there. Less than 1 1/2 if you're really on your game.

The RC track over at the stadium is good value also. The hairpin is gnarly but possible.

I think it's actually been closed down now.

I'm finding in 1st taking her up to about 7k, cutting the throttle and then bringing it quickly back up to 5-7 again works ok for now.

That's because you've got a 600 :). I've heard tapping the rear brake compresses the front forks and you use the rebound to pop you up. Useful for your bike, if you did that on a lams bike I don't know how far you'd get lol. I run up to about 20k, lean back, pull clutch, roll on gas and drop. Seems to work okay but I still have some difficulty keeping it up (yeah that's right haha).

If the weather isn't as crap as they say it will be, I'll certainly give it a go tomorrow.

Hey guys,

So I don't have you all on Facebook, but it's my birthday on Wednesday so I've decided to nap the NASS time spot and have dinner and drinks at Bar Africa, starting around 6:30pm. It would be cool if you guys could come along.
We should still be there by the time you finish NASS anyway so can see you then too!!

I'm getting OLD.

[5ive]

Have a good one!

I was going to come, but I'm too sick, stupid colds.

Hey Guys,
Not sure who is running NASS these days? Been quite a while since I have had the time to be involved (or an appropriate road bike :shit: ).

Just wondering if you guys are getting all revved up about the ART Days, used to be the NASS guys dominated Group 1 at ART... but then I guess there were a few of us instructors who were involved in NASS then as well.

If you're not sure what I am talking about check out AMCC's Website (http://amcc-dev.org.nz/index.php/menu-ridertraining/menu-art-feedback.html) or grab me or one of the others and get some info.

First one kicks off the season this Saturday and there are still places.

It'd be so good to see some more of the NASS riders out there again Main Post (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php/175649-AMCC-ART-Days-2015-2016-dates-announced) .
