LuckyLuke

Hello to everybody!

First of all I'd like to appologize for my English as it's not my native language.

My name's Alec.

I'm from Ukraine. I was born here and I grew up here.

Since I'm a high school student (that was a Soviet Union era) and some of us who had luck to have VCRs or players started to watch some smuggled video tapes with American movies I got hoocked with cowboys and bikers like famous Harley Davidson and Marlboro Man.

But at that time you could only watch movies under your blanket with your windows curtained. In 90's some chopper/cruiser-looking bikes started to appear on our streets. (People still call all bikes of this look - Harley Davidson). But only some party leaders' kids and mobsters could afford them. Now things changed and we have everything that the other part of the world has.

During university years my class mates called me Marlboro Man as I had my cowboyboots on almost 300 days a year. But I used to smoke Strikes at that time so we changed  the nick jointly for Lucky Luke.

Recently I decided that I have covered the minimum-program of my life (got an appartment, got a car, raising daughter and taking care of her mom )))) so I could afford my dream.

I went to school for mastering elementaries of riding. And August 2009 I got a 1 year old V-Star 1100 Classic. I was lucky (Luke)))) as it had only 1,5K on the speedo and original saddle bags from Midnight Star. They are bigger than the V-star ones and I can stuff them with anything I may need during the day. The guy who owned it before me got it from the manufacturer directly and he, as we say, was "blowing the dust off it" (figuratively meaning not making it manually in order to avoid maring). I got it absolutely stock dressed but with saddle bags. Now it looks a bit different ))

The company I work for is an export/import company of heavy duty and special purpose equipment. I'm a project manager and have to travel a lot (and that is good as I'm dropping off when sitting on one place)  I love to travel. Among my other interests are sports and fishing.

AND ON 10/21/2010 I BOUGHT MY FIRST HARLEY DAVIDSON (2007 FLHRS)

Thnx to everybody for taking a look at my short story. If you see any mistakes pls let me know.
