Nahkatakki, josta pidän nyt

Like many people I know, I used to have a semi-serious aversion to nahka takkis. I'm not sure why really, I just grew up not liking the look of a nahka takki or the look of almost anyone that wore a nahka takki. All that changed recently, however, when I decided to get a motorcycle.

As much as I had always hated the look of a nahka takki, I had still always wanted to get a motorcycle. It seems like a contradiction, and I guess it was. Anyway, the opportunity to buy a used motorcycle recently fell into my lap and I took up the offer. I knew that having a motorcyle would change a lot more than just the way I got to work. It took me only a few days of owning a motorcycle and a few conversations with friends to realize that I really did need a nahka takki for my new ride.

I needed a new nahka takki they said, not just because every motorcyclist should have one, but also because a nahka takki is the safest thing to wear in case of an accident. I got thinking about having an accident on my motorcycle and that was the only form of convincing I needed before I went out and began shopping for a nahka takki of my very own. I brought a couple of more experienced friends with me who gave me their opinions of where to find the right nahka takki and how to decide what style fit me best.

Tunsin vähän hauskaa ostoksia nahkatakista. Tunsin kuin yksi moottoripyöräilylapsista, josta halusin lukiossa, aikoi tulla kauppaan ja hauskaa minua siitä, että minusta tuli yksi heistä. Yritin laittaa nuo ajatukseni taakse ja suorittaa vain käsillä olevan tehtävän saadakseen täydellisen nahkatakin. Minun on täytynyt kokeilla noin kaksikymmentä nahkatakkia ja keskustelin huolellisesti kunkin niistä. Ostopäätökset eivät ole koskaan tulleet minulle helposti, ja nahkatakin ostaminen ei ollut poikkeus.
