Couch potatoe,
1.what training do you think an instructor should be given, 3 years at uni maybe, to then go out for fuckall and give people advice. a bit of free track time dont pay the bills,
2.yes your right we are just average joes like you. who said any different. and who says a one day coarse makes you an instructer,(only you yer prick) 3.its not just being able to ride a bike, its being able to communicate, oh and i mean without a keyboard. witch you obviously cant do, looking at the amount of posts you got on here, surprised you find time for a trackday.
4.Most people judge a companys performance on there own experiance, yes they may read threads, and take it on board. but the only way to really decide is to try it. surely people wouldnt just read something that a cock like you has written and decide from that.

for people who dont like us on here you seem to be posting a lot.

backs up our thoughts on most of fe's instructors. i know one personally and he struggles to communicate and has a big ego like you two.

its funny how the NL guys always seem to have time to say hi and speak to you unlike the attitude of the fe instructors ive seen. the only one who ever spoke to me nicely was the guy who owned the black fila ducati a few years ago but that was only to talk ducatis rather than anything else

Trouble is Id do the fast group and be running 51's round Brands on my SV!. No one gets ripped to bits but see it from another perspective, if you and lots others did the fast group running a 1min lap, then us quicker riders would sufer from the same problems that you encountered.

1. I think someone I'm paying for and someone who is offering advice in a dangerous pastime should have more than one days training
2. FE say you are instructors as you have done a one day course, I'm surprised you don't think you are an instructor but are happy to wear the vest and give out advice, advice that is legally binding and advice that if it all goes wrong you would be expected to defend in court against an expert witness, I assume you know all this and the risk you put yourself at from a lawsuit by giving advice out ?
3. Being able to communicate, judging from your illiteracy if you speak anything like that I'm amazed anyone learns anything which may be a bonus see No.2 above and court....
4. Most people seek opinions on companies before parting with their money, it's how most succesful businesses work including mine. If I read so many negative comments and read the crap you spout I wouldn't take the risk with FE as I may get you as an instructor. I've done nearly 200 trackdays, I've instructed and I've raced so my opinion may just count for someone reading this. If it doesn't it doesn't matter but you and your buddie sshould remember you are ambassadors for the company you work for, yes you do work for them even if you don't get paid.

As for the insults well it tells me more about you and your mental level than anything else as if you tried to read what I was saying you would see I wasn't insulting anyone.

Then you should know that if an instructor does his/her job properly there`s not a lot of free track time and when there is we deserve it,
I went to snett a couple of weeks back which is about a 2 hour drive for me.
I did the sighting laps, then a lady turned up late so i took her out for the sighting laps, 2 laps in I got black flagged cos the groups were over booked, that was me for the day. Up at stupid O`clock 4 hours driving a day off work to do sighting laps.
I`ll probably get allthe boo hoo`s now and told to fuck of to a different thread for stating something I find wrong with Fe

Ive never said anywhere its easy, difficult, fun, crap or whatever. Id suggest you would get on better on here - you aswell Hungry if you actually did your homework and read what people were saying.

orangevest wrote

I never meant you personally, I think the same could be said about a lot of people on here, people only seem to read the bits that suit them

Eff Bee wrote

They do, your quite correct there.

BUT that is a reason why Couch Commando is right about your attitude.

If I were respresenting a company id certainly not post the majority of what you have posted. Because its that easy read it and then not decide to book with FE without actually reading correctly what your trying to defend.

orangevest wrote

Ok fair point but I don`t really see that I`m representing a company, If that company paid me then I`d have more loyalty towards them,
My problem is the way we get spoke to on a td when we have no control over how the booking is done or the running of the day. I came on here with a good attitude and actually said there were things wrong, then when I said we work hard i got told "boo hoo fuck off back to your own thread"

Nice argument everyone.

I've done a few with Focused Events, No Limits and Hottrax.

Not had any sort of problem with any of them, although the one thing that stops me booking any of them now, is if I see that they are operating Four groups.

I'm just happy that these people are here, to let people like me get some track time, without all the crap that's involved in racing.

Long may it continue, is all I want to say.

Regardless of whether or not you are paid there is an agreement that you are providing your services to a company and also the companies customers. Therefore you need to act in the best interests of that company and customers. Swearing, abuse etc isnt the way to do it as it leaves a very poor impression of not just you but also the company that you provide services for.

If a rep of a company came on here and started to personally insult you, would you be so oblidging to use their services?. It doesnt give a good impression of the company if they are willing to have people like that represent them.

There wasnt much need to be like that. You just need to state your point and be done. Im sure more people would appreciate your imput then. Ive learnt this from experience.

I dont know what your first post was, the others have kind of stood out though.
