New face for this piece of crap


Well; as the title of this post says, this blot has a new face.
Learning how to make my own "blogger" theme/template of whatever was actually a piece of cake. The truth is that I'm a little used to wordpress engine; but this one is ok.

There are a bunch of reasons why I choose to use blogger instead of any other free blogging platform available... and one of the ones that matter the most is that I already had a google account (gmail and others) and this one let me use adsense on the code...
... so after a couple more tweaks to this CSS and HTML code and we are ready to go with all the bullshit.

pictures of the ride

In last post I wrote about the bike first ride out. (I usually use it for commute in the city and shit... this time i went to Colon city and passed thru Madden Dam)














keep on blogging.

Ok
in order to keep going with the idea of having a blog; I'm supposed to type some bullshit so this webpage will look like have some activity.

Today i wanna write about... a little issue i have at this moment. About this time last year, I started to get into the biking thing (riding motorcycles). I started with a suzuki EN-125. Several people told me that here in Panama doesn't worth to have a bigger bike than a 125.... the truth is that a 125 is more than enough for riding on the city...
... anyways, i got involved in an accident and the 125 bike got fucked up (not my fault by the way) so insurance company paid me the bike and i got a suzuki GSR-600.

I took the bike last week for it's first long ride and truth to be told, the bike handles superb.. I love it; but there's an issue. The helmet I have is old and I bought it second handed (yes I'm a cheap bastard, but i rode a 125 cc bike with no more than 12 hp) so it is totally uncool to wear that helmet and ride above 150 km/h... I need a new one.

All motorcycle sellers here in Panama sucks big time when it comes to riders equipment. The truth is that there is no big market here... the majority of riders are messengers who rides 125 cc bikes... bigger bikes are owned by old guys with Harley Davidson feeling... and ofcourse i have a sport bike... so full face quality helmets has to be imported.

anyways, I haven't decided if i'll buy a shoei or an arai... or maybe the latelly released bell star II.

I'll keep you guys posted.
