3. Transponder = MANDATORY but FREE

Safety first !

  • EYBIS is short for "Enjoy Your Bike In SAFETY".
  • Limiting speed differences within every group to a minimum increases safety and reduces considerably the number of (unnecessary) accidents.
  • In this context, there is a permanent lap timing on the EYBIS events, and we oblige everybody to ride with a so called "transponder".

To measure = To know !

  • That way we are able - for your safety on track - to adjust all groups if necessary.
  • This additional safety service is totally free.
  • With this safety service, you nor anyone else can see or verify your lap times. Only we can use them - as some kind of "watchdog" - in the context of the safety on the circuit.

The option "Consult my lap times"

  • 20 € for the entire event, no matter the number of days
  • Permanent access to your lap times
  • Incorporation and display of your fastest lap times in the list of lap times of the other participants that have chosen this option;
  • Communication of it

4. Possibility to test 5 different BMW 2014 models

Our 2014 event at ASSEN is one of the ten BMW Motorrad Track Days we organize in 7 countries this year.

These events are open for all motorcycle brands and are supported by the BMW factory in Munich.

As a participant of our event, you can book a test on the spot with one or more of the following motorcycles:

a. BMW S 1000 RR

  • 12 available
  • Normal shifting
  • Reverse shifting
  • Learn more

b. BMW HP4

  • 5 available
  • Normal shifting

In the price of 20 € are included:

  • an insurance (your maximum cost in case of a crash = 1.000 €)
  • tire wear
  • fuel for 1 session of 20' (in your own group instead of with your own motorcycle)

After the morning briefing, you can enrole between 9.00 and 10.00 for one or more test sessions (maximum 1 test session per type of motorcycle).

Together we will decide which motorcycle you'll test in which session(s) on the circuit, during 20'.

Then you come to the EYBIS pitbox 10' before your test session(s) where a coach will be assigned to you.

After a quick acquaintance, he will explain to you the main functionalities of your test bike.

Next, he will run in front of you for 2 laps.

Then you can ride totally free with your test bike for the rest of the session.

After completing your test session, you will be "welcomed" by your coach who will be very interested in your feedback.

19. Insurance (we will not verify this, it 's only for your own comfort / safety)

VERY IMPORTANT: make sure to have your "European Health Insurance Card" (EHIC) with you. By showing this card, people know - in the domain of health (and injury) insurance - that you're completely covered in your own country and that every other country, that is a member of the European Union, has to give you all the needed care.If you haven't obtained your card from your health care insurance, than :

  • apply for a card immediately;
  • if you cannot receive it in time, ask them to e-mail to you a "Provisional replacement certificate for the European Health Insurance Card" (= 1 page, and this can be done immediately);

A list of "Dangerous sports" that are excluded from "urgent medical care abroad". Usually, "racing with car / motorcycle / outboard engines" is listed. But as we do not "race", our activity is not excluded from any treatment. Check if this is also the case with your insurance, and if it is not, just be sure to get an insurance yourself.

 

EYBIS has not only a very good insurance as an organiser, but insures also - on every event - all participants with a good TPL (= third partie liability) insurance.

 

If you have a racing license from your national motorcycle council, be sure to bring it with you.
