Yep, i be there. See you all at Westgate.

Good ride tonight, thanks everyone, and thanks to Mark and Richard!

I haven't come to NASS in a few months, first time I return we had a huge turnout!

Wooooah mean to see the sparkies actually work

The talk at the pub is that Mark will be leaving us for greener pastures in Whangarei.

**MarkW** · 26th November 2009, 07:04

The talk in the Pub is correct......my last NASS will be the Wednesday before Christmas (16th?). I am moving early next year to my new home just this side of Kaitaia and the DRZ will struggle to get there and back in an evening. I have greatly enjoyed my time with the NASS groups and particularly the increased skills levels and riding maturity exhibited as you all try hard to master the weird and wonderful exercises that Richard, Dawn and the other tutors put in front of you. Never stop learning!

My Android phone recorded two routes from Westgate to Albany. GPS fun.

Once again thanks Mark, all the best for the move up north.

Thank you so much Mark and Richard, although I have only started riding my ninja since June but you have taught me so much already !

It feels awesome just by getting a "nod" from you during the exercises.

Its what you have taught us saved many newbies like me from crashing million times!!! Thank you !!!

well mark i think i will speak for everyone when i say that you be missed. your input in the last year and a half or so has been invaluable to myself and all of the people who turn up. Good luck with moving up north.
But on a lighter note i have to ask why you are moving? i mean people like badger live up north, they are all a bit strange up there!
so ride on the 16th then is it?

+1

Thanks for your amazing commitment to helping us for free over many Wednesdays Mark!!

You can take great pride in the fact that you've helped to educate many newbies, given riders enthusiasm to keep learning/practising, and have reduced motorcycle accidents in our community.

ACC should be giving you one of their $500,000 salaries!!

**Sharry** · 29th November 2009, 11:59

Certainly Mark your absence will be noticed, You have helped my self and many others gain skills that have have saved them and have definatly assisted myself to have more enjoyable rides.

I agree with retro asian, ACC should be compensating you with a healthy income for reducing thier stastistics
