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 ©!

Happy new year y'all!

Booked my tickets back home for my brother's wedding. Gonna be back for a couple weeks at the end of February so I'll try to pop along to a SASS night.

I'm gonna hire a Gladius 650 from Colemans for a few days, but might have to borrow a mate's 250 for SASS I'm thinking..

Hey y'all, I'll be back this month for a couple weeks so will swing by on the 23rd or the 1st of March.

Might see if I can convince a friend to let me borrow his bike for it but otherwise I'll just show up to the start and then the pub.

I'm hiring a bike on the 26th and 27th for a bit of a weekend bash. Looking forward to the sunny temps and grippy roads!

No ride on tonight. Due to the wet weather after so much dry, it is going to be very slippery out there. Take care

[nzspokes]

Will do my best to get there this week

[nzspokes]

Looks like I will be bringing a couple of new riders with me.

Good ride tonight people ! Me and Leti ( my bike ) are talking to each other again . Last time i went out it felt off , Maybe we just need to go out and smell the county air a bit more 😊

[kiwi-on-wheels]

still not quite right after a wee tumble i took last week, but getting there.

oil spot, dropped by a truck running a red just before i went through the light. missed it with the front wheel, nailed it with the rear and bike skittered out from under me. landed awkwardly, massive sprain in my wrist. been out of action for the last few days, aiming to be back on the bike this weekend
