Missed start. Hung around car park at destination long enough security guards were following me around. Saw no bikes. Had to go. What time do you guys normally get to the car park?


Stupid phone / Tapatalk, apologies in advance.

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.

Maybe when the weather gets a bit colder.

Congrats to those who passed a licence test, got a shiny new ride, upgraded, got some good news or had a choice ride on Tues night . I popped round to the watering hole after work bout 8.23 pm ish but no one about so gapped it home. Bugga.
Anyhow folks algud. Catch yáll next time.

[Sis]

Congrats to eldog. I guess the roadworks proved you can ride through anything and hence the test was a piece of weez..I mean cake.

Sorry that we missed Big Dog at the carpark. Had we known, we would have made a point of catching you there. Maybe you should have waited around your home as we passed very close to Tuakau on our long ride. In fact we have actually ridden up the main street on some of our rides.
We rode Runciman Road in the opposite direction to our usual and that showed how different the same road can be.

Sorry that we also missed Makz at the refreshment stop.
By the way, our local is getting to know us very well. Not only asking us about chips but also anticipating the orders of triple shot coffees in handles (as in what a beer is usually served in). Yes you have read that correctly. I think we have trendsetters riding with us.
Party broke up before 10 pm. Something about riding outside of licenses was muttered but may be they just needed their beauty sleep.
