[MikeEdwards09]

Hi BL4STIN - thanks for your kind comments - in fact I have been asked to make a 'how I ride Oulton Park' DVD to match the one I've done for Cadwell, that people have found useful - so keep a check on my eshop for when I've done it. I'm based int Harrogate, North Yorkshire.

@MikeEdwards09 oh right yeah , cool , when i watched this i thought you might have been a local lad to oulton , im in merseyside you see , just seen your vid of monza , fair play mate you get around , must of cost a few bob to get that organised .

Born in Hyton mate - this year is my 30th consecutive race season, never having had a year off a bike since 1982! Would only be at a track day now if I'm coaching - you can find out more by visiting my website, just search for Mike Spike Edwards Racing.

Cheers.

@MikeEdwards09 I would definitely add my voice to the oulton park dvd requests as being a good wigan lad its my local track. though being also a good a good servant of her majesty's finest royal air force means that cadwell is on my 'other' doorstep. wheres the cadwell dvd available from?

[MikeEdwards09]

Hi Dravensdmf - you can get my 'how I ride Cadwell' DVD from the eshop on my coaching site, am unable to type web addresses in here, so search for Mike Edwards, V121pro coaching that should find it for you. All the best,

Mike.

Man I wish I could ride my 848 like that. Wow!!! How long have you been riding for Mike? Best 848 footage yet!

[MikeEdwards09]

Hi, thanks for your kind comments, 2012 will be my 30th year of motorcycle racing and I still love riding bikes. If you do a search for me online, you should be able to find my website where there's plenty of archived news reports, photos and videos.

[MikeEdwards09]

Great vid.

I am taking ny 848 out on a track day and was just wondering what tyres you were using?

[MikeEdwards09]

We are issued control tyres for the racing, they are Pirelli Supercorsas SC2 on the back SC1 on the front. Hope this helps.

Mike.

Haha good answer. Good luck with the racing

[biz360]

Why do you the piece of tape over the dash? Is it the hide what gears you're using perhaps

[MikeEdwards09]

Hi, I simply don't want to see how fast I'm going.
