I has a new phone so can sort myself at Sass better.

Also got a track app for it that gives lap times.

**Sis** · 1st June 2014, 20:50

Lap times for SASS???

Come on. You know that with your knee-down-on-corners technics you would win so we don't go there

**nzspokes** · 1st June 2014, 22:42

It also gives gps maps of your rides.

Well, I am young at heart but there is only one of me.
How did you know they were looking for 4 , or should I not ask

I knew Lance was secretly a gang member. His Scorpio and hivis vest is just a front. Very clever...

Forecast is good. I'm aiming to be there. Got some good riding in over the weekend. Gradually increasing confidence on the new bike.

I passed Peter on his GSX650 2up heading towards Kawakawa Bay on the weekend. Does he come on KB at all?

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!
