    Hey Zippo, Juniper and I are going to grab a bite to eat then head your way. She said she will text you when we are eating and tee up a time/place to meet. See you ladies later!
    Becoming fearless isn't the point. That's impossible. It's learning how to control your fear, and how to be free from it.

    Dont worry about coming to Sass if you feel there is any pressure. We dont do pressure. Can possibly organize you a rider to guide you in and I can for coming back out west. My partner and I have both been raw riders that came through the Nass/Sass setup and it works a treat. And very new riders is what its about.

    We make decisions all the time, just not always the right ones! It's our tendency not to ask for directions that makes it appear we have this sexy care-free "jump on the bike and go anywhere, anytime" air about us...

    You so just ruined that now previously attractive trait I admired.
    What's the point in living if you don't feel alive?

    Toying with ones mortality shouldn't be this much fun.

    Thumbs up 100% Newbie

    Hey there I'm a newbie and this site was recommended to me I've found plenty of useful advice so far! Just wondering if SASS is still running? Also recommendations for mentors?
    I'm a beginner and I have an L plate to prove it! So looking to build confidence with knowledgeable riders.
    P.S. sorry if I'm not doing this post thing right either!

    I'm not sure how lively the 'official' KB Mentor program is, check out this sub-forum:
    http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/fo...tors-Programme

    As far as I know, SASS meets every week rain or shine. I haven't been myself, but everyone on the site speaks highly of it. The thread is here:

    I've done it once before and it's a really good ride. Great scenery and roads.
