Is that better qualified instruction.....perhaps less shtheds on the track, more track time, better tracks, cheaper prices, a better briefing???

I dont get it, courtesy?, do they call you Sir? (or my Lord?)

to me andy, the curtesy and the way I'm treated as a customer is the deciding factor when i spend my cash. so yes, it's better than quality instruction etc..

in my opinion and this does worry me.
track days are getting more dangerous!!!

lack of policing ( for want of a better term) of bad riding, aggressive overtaking etc. sure we all make mistakes, but im seeing more riders show no respect for the safety of others.

i think it is the responsibility of track day organisers to address this, and ive not seen many organisers get to grip with the issue, dispite complaining about a rider at a FE day he continued to ride like an ass, with as far as i could see nothing changing for the rest of us in the group.

when im booking a track day price is an important factor, so is the whole experinace and what id consider value for money, wher i think FE do excell is that they have good support in terms of tyres, suspension and other services.

what is really worth having is smaller groups, im always interested in booking trackdays that have loads of places left, pal of mine was at cadwell last tuesday with only 8 bikes in the fast group, thats VFM, i realsie the organiser probably struggled to make a proffit, but id be willing to pay more if it was better policed and smaller groups. what ever happed to the stuff they say in the breifing about not diving up the inside and keeping 6ft away. i was hit by a bike at druids 2 weeks ago who decided to dive up the inside as i cut accross, we both stayed on luckly. but i havent got a clue who he was to be able to find him in the pits for a chat later when there are 40 bikes aout there!!
