    Essential info for the newbies to SASS:
    South Auckland Street Skills or SASS

    WHAT: Learning and improving Riding Skills
    WHEN: Wednesday 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 and anyone getting back into Motorcycling (must be legal & hold a motorcycle license)
    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 -----------------------------> about 7pm

    FINISH ride at ex-Manukau City Council car park for slow-speed safety exercises -----> usually 8pm-ish
    (next to the new Manukau train station & opp. police station )

    SOCIAL time @ O'Ryans Irish pub     after car park exercises -----------> 8.40pm-ish

    Cost: Nil, nada, zip, zero, nothing... Just your time and attention.

    As O'Ryans has been unreliable of late, we may be switching to another watering hole from next week. Either La Guarda or Broncos. Stay tuned...

    Was great to meet you all last night. Hopefully I will pop in next week also. But I will have to make sure I leave enough time before my curfew to get home!
    Becoming fearless isn't the point. That's impossible. It's learning how to control your fear, and how to be free from it.

    I plan to!
    I also managed to catch up with my newbi mate that rides the Magna. He is keen to come along. But as I mentioned at the pub he works shifts at skycity, so it might be a few weeks till he is free on a wed night.

    They're unpredictable these days - They close early sometimes and unexpectedly, even on Wednesday nights when they should be expecting us.

    Either they're scared of opening late after the robbery or they staff are getting lazy. Suspect the boss hasn't been around, so the staff are getting slack.

    That'd be great. I've always been curious if there were any differences between the Magna and Kymco Venox [which I had and which is bascially the Taiwanese OEM of the Magna].

    What about Celcius, it maybe a bit far from the carpark, but Ive had a few beers in there and it seams all good.

    A little bit out of the way... Maybe it can be a once-a-month type of watering hole, but with somewhere nearer the car park as the regular place. All that slow-speed skills practice is thirsty and, especially in summer, hot work!
