Mossy’s clocked over 7,000 miles on the Strom, including recently dozens of laps at none other than Cadwell Park! Here’s how he got on… I could sense the sniggers as I rolled down into the holding bay at Cadwell Park. Most of the smirking came from riders of more track-suited GSX-Rs, who probably thought I…
