Andy Mack 0 Report post Posted March 15, 2016 Hello,So this will be my first year at racing, thought i would give it a go and also start a blog to kind of track how badly im doing. Going to be racing in the DesmoDue and probably do some mini-twins and Scottish lightweights too. I know the bike wont be competitive vs the mini-twins but thought it would be some good practice for the racing. If you are interested then he blog is mackintoshracing.comTaAndy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tokin 0 Report post Posted March 23, 2016 Dont worry about it. Desmo Due is 'entry level' racing. They are great guys and you will find your feet soon enough. There will be other novices in the class just settle in and enjoy the ride. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blow_away 0 Report post Posted October 30, 2016 On the whole an entertaining read.If I may offer some constructive criticism, you need to tighten up your spelling, grammar and proof reading. It gets a little "samey" , maybe bring in some outside detail to break it up a little. Well laid out and plenty of pictures is nice. What software are you using? It looks much nicer than my Google blog. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
