I remember you at aintree on the lc. Doesn’t seem that long ago and your still up there. Great videos

[@harrylime7938]

Great footage, thanks!. It seems your customer is doing well...

[@MikeSpikeEdwards]

Yes, and he's just 17yrs. Got lots of good elements in his riding, just needs to string them together and be a bit more precise.

[@harrylime7938]

He's very young, a lot of fun is waiting for him. Mike please upgrade your video resolution to 1080p or more. Thanks.

[@MikeSpikeEdwards]

Cheers Harry. The reason I keep it at 720 is that on a coaching day, like the one where this footage was recorded; the client does 7 x 20min sessions on track, and I like to give them a DVD of the footage of their day. I can only just squeeze this amount of footage recorded at 720 on to a DVD - I don't think that would be possible if I ran it at 1080. Unless you can advise me otherwise?

[@harrylime7938]

Sorry Mike, I didn't know... Cheers

[@erikdejong2091]

You always drive such beautiful lines

[@MikeSpikeEdwards]

Thank you Erik, I have been practicing for 35 years. ;)

I loved watching you at cadwell on that bmw R1200S - so much so that I bought one - I LOVED the front end - but for some unknown reason it didn't make me any faster round cadwell - or anywhere else come to think of it

[@MikeSpikeEdwards]

Bill was (still is) a great bike to ride, obviously well down on straight-line power compared to the rash of modern super bikes however to enjoy a good scratch round you don'y need 200bhp. If I could find a reasonably priced HP2 I'd find the cash and have it just for those special days when I get out on track on my own.

What is the blue light?

[@MikeSpikeEdwards]

It's an aux brake light, so you can see when I'm on an off the brakes.

[@hadster016]

Fk that's fast lol that bend after the straight ur turning in at 110mph!

[@MikeSpikeEdwards]

Yes, it certainly blows the wind up your skirt aproaching Coppice full chat on a 1000cc Sports bike.

[@tripnut5702]

Doesn't need much coaching!!

[@MikeSpikeEdwards]

Yes Tripnut, he's good; but everyone can improve. I've been practicing for 38 years now, and still learning stuff.

[@MrWigV25]

Awesome video you all just have a look at my videos they are really really good Lol..

[@mickeyfinn80]

Given equal bikes i think he would give ya a run for your money 😬

[@MikeSpikeEdwards]

Cheers, Mickey, but all my coaching is only ever done from behind so I can see what my customer is doing on the bike - hence, I only ride at their pace, and I'm reacting to what they're doing, rather than being proactive and riding how I normally would. There's no point me riding my best lap, as coaching is all about getting the best out of them. However, it is fair to say that sometimes, I do get a faster guy who makes me earn my money kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2TQl6ibfppnoMk

[@irw4350]

and you're client doesn't look as if he needs too much help

[@MikeSpikeEdwards]

Thanks for taking the time to comment, I must admit, he made me earn my cash that day! #onit
