I've been fortunate enough to have complete to trips now. One with no no, no no no No Limits, the most recent to Almeria with FE. I thought NL the better organised and certainly more customer focused of the two. I'd not heard of Tracksense, any others out there? Any feedback from any other organisers?
I did Spa with Bikerdays last year (organised by NL), they were great, really great. Good thing is you do one briefing, they give you a sticker for your helmet and that's it, no more briefings.
as per other post Tracksense are an excellent operator. I have also heard good things about pacedayz although not used them personally. if you can drive yourself to the tracks and either camp at the circuit or get local hotels then the euro operators (Actionbike, Biker days, Eybis, and Bike Promotion) are all super professional and very welcoming to us brits. the lengthy FE briefings are legendarily annoying, but if you are new to trackdays they are welcome, if you are nervous its good know that the event is being policed strictly imho. once you have done a few they get tiresome. and a briefing and sighting laps every day (sometime twice) is unnecessary imho. NL are very good on the whole but they need to invest in transponders for all their events in order to manage group pace. its just much safer that way in my experience
I agree 100%. But my impression was it was 38mins selling photos, fast laps, tuition, laps times,tyres, suspension, cuddly toys etc etc. Followed by 2mins safety/flags.
Strictly NL for UK TDs. Bikerdays/NL/Tracksense for EU depending on circuit, dates etc. Tried Focused, put off by v.poor customer service and attitude.
Focused Events for me in Europe, been going with them for nearly ten years and never had an issue with them. Kevin even did me a deal on his 848 loan bike when my Ducati died on the first day of a four day event, I didn't ask for a deal, he just offered, I would have paid full money to get myself back out on the track, so speak as I find.
Personally, I think NL do not police their events well enough and seem tooooo relaxed about the whole affair. Too many fast boys/girls out in the novice groups just because that was the only space left when they booked, that includes their so called instructors on their CB500's buzzing riders in the slower groups.
Just be thankful you didn't bin it! I was unfortunate enough to hear him and Barry discussing how they were going to make some poor sod "pay" who had damaged one of their bikes. It really was very unpleasant to hear them vitriolically totting up the damage/bill!
If someone had fallen off one of my bikes, I would be expecting them to pay up as well, what's the issue ?
