    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 new and old, 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 @ a nearby pub after car park exercises -----------> 8.40pm-ish

    (we're checking out a few other watering holes)

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

    Becoming fearless isn't the point. That's impossible. It's learning how to control your fear, and how to be free from it.
