Preparations are hotting-up here at Fast Bikes for the fast-approaching opener of the Trackday Trophy at Cadwell Park on April 29th. On Monday, Roots, Beej, Beaky and I all headed up to Brands Hatch to earn our right to wear the ACU’s Orange vest. I got the feeling that this was pretty much a walk…
