You don't want to ride?

On yer new bike?

You'd be surprised how refreshed you'd be after a ride... with the aSASSins, of course...

Who or what's keeping you from SASS on Tuesdays?

Maybe we can ride over and 'persuade' whoever or whatever it is... We got a bunch of loud bikes now.

**nzspokes** · 3rd September 2013, 16:24
