Hey all,

Although I am a web developer, I have a website and I have plenty to talk about (mostly geeky programming stuff), this is my first real blog post.
I thought I'd start by describing my plans for the next few weeks as they are pretty major for me.

I have decided that I will do my motorcycle test, get my license and buy a motorbike after many years of being a pedestrian. After searching around the internet for the last week or so, I'm pretty convinced the Suzuki SV650S (preferably red) is the bike for me. I've also looked at helmets, jackets, trousers & gloves.

So, here are the chosen accessories:
o Shoei Raid II helmet (plain black)
o Joe Rocket Phoenix 4.0 jacket (red & black)
o Spada Podium Trousers (black)

Of course, many of these items depend on availability from local retailers.
I have not yet decided on a good glove for the beautiful climate here in Ireland (mostly cold & pissing it down), if anyone would like to offer tips or advice on this subject, I would appreciate it.

Cheers;
Poncho
