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!

[Maakz]

Um back!!!! and ready to ride. I will be there tonight, MYs a bit dirty but what the hey...

[Kartik]

I'll also be there tonight, but don't think I'll come to the pub....

[Ninjacookie]

Was planning to come and ride tonight - but I'm afraid I'll have to pass. I'm tired enough to be dangerous so don't want to risk it. Shift work blows, just putting that out there.

Thanks for the ride y'all. Great night for it.

[f2dz]

I'm keen for that too, but I'll sign up later. I always like leaving things til the last minute. :P

I'm thinking of doing a Coro Loop tomorrow. Just gotta get a haircut in the morning then aimng to leave mid morning. Send me a PM if you're keen.

[Tigadee]

Just gotta get a haircut in the morning...

Yup, that's a must do... Even better-er - Shave yer head, better aerodynamics and not helmet hair as well... Summer's coming, after all!

[f2dz]

Definitely trying to tone down the helmet hair, but not so sure I'd suit the bald look.

Will be aiming to leave Auckland around 11am or so, weather permitting.

[nzspokes]

Only just caught up with this. Ooops. I went out on a gear hunt this morning. Got a few items, gotta love sales.

We are heading down Kaiaua for Fush and Chups later today if anybody is about.
