An seaicéad leathair is maith liom anois

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

As much as I had always hated the look of a seaicéad leathar, 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 seaicéad leathar for my new ride.

I needed a new seaicéad leathar they said, not just because every motorcyclist should have one, but also because a seaicéad leathar 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 seaicéad leathar 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 seaicéad leathar and how to decide what style fit me best.

Bhraith mé siopadóireacht beag greannmhar ar seaicéad leathair. Bhraith mé mar cheann de na páistí biker a rinne mé spraoi sa scoil ard a bhí ag dul chun teacht isteach sa siopa agus go hiomlán a dhéanamh spraoi dom as a bheith ar cheann acu. Rinne mé iarracht na smaointe sin a chur i mo dhiaidh agus gan ach an tasc idir lámha ag fáil an seaicéid leathair foirfe. Caithfidh mé triail a bhaint as thart ar fiche seaicéid leathair agus phléigh mé go cúramach sonraí gach ceann acu. Níor tháinig cinntí maidir le ceannacháin go héasca domsa riamh, agus ní haon eisceacht é seaicéad leathair a cheannach.
