HELLO, DEAR FRIENDS,
My name is Igor. I am from Ukraine. Since childhood I am interested in motorcycles as my father had motorcycles (made in former USSR and Czechoslovakia). I consider that the best motorcycles are the classic motorcycles based on American V-TWIN motors: Indian, Harley-Davidson and handmade choppers and also Victory. These are the only ones true motorcycles in our times. I call them live and they have heart – it is V-TWIN motor. It is something fantastic. I have special feelings when I hear magic sound of exhaust of V-TWIN motor. I do not like Japanese and other motorcycles. They are nonliving, heartless, computerized clones. Soon they will be fully controlled by computer but not by man. They do not have (and will never have) of spirit of true motorcycle, and motorcycle history. Unfortunately, because of Soviet government, our country was closed for motorcycle companies. But now all have changed. Japanese do all possible and impossible things for popularization of their motorcycles in all world and, in particular, in Ukraine. That’s why their motorcycles are so popular in Ukraine. There are many of them in Ukraine, but few of H.-D., not saying about others. AMERICANS DO NOTHING FOR POPULARIZATION OF THEIR WORLD’S BEST MOTORCYCLES BASED ON MAGIC V-TWINs MOTORS. WHY???????
MY GOAL IS POPULARIZATION AND PROMOTION IN UKRAINE OF CLASSIC MOTORCYCLES BASED ON AMERICAN V-TWIN MOTOR BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT AVAILABLE NEARLY 70 YEARS WHILE FORMER USSR EXISTED. Even from viewpoint of business Eastern Europe is new big market.
I want to do all possible and impossible to make my country in TOP 5 countries by level of popularity of V-TWIN classic motorcycles. I want to be one of those who make classic motorcycles are very popular in Ukraine.
But my opportunities. Now I am living in two parallel worlds. First. Nearly 5 years from day to day I am going to my work and doing job which I hate and all around. Sometimes I do not want to live, because I do not opportunity to do what I want to do. Of course, many people live such way, but few of them do something to reach their goals. I have few friends and I am already 27 but I still do not have girlfriend, BECAUSE ALL MY AVAILABLE FREE TIME AND WEEKENDS I LIVE IN MY SECOND PARALLEL WORLD - VIRTUAL WORLD OF CLASSIC MOTORCYCLES and CHOPPERS. I feel myself comfortable and happily in it. In my virtual world of choppers I study all that concerns V- TWIN choppers: collect information about choppers, surf the Net and study all about American bike building companies and their constructors; American motorcycles clubs (which prefer classic motorcycles); study types of V-TWINs, history of classic motorcycles. By the way, I do not understand those American bike builders who use Japanese V-TWIN motors. They break traditions. True choppers have only American V-TWIN motors.
In Ukraine, I want to dedicate all my time to classic V-TWIN motorcycles and choppers: promotion, selling, repair, building, service. That’s why I want to know all about classic motorcycles based on American motors starting from history first Indian 1901, Harley-Davidson 1903 and other legendary American companies of the beginning of 20 century Excelsior, Merkel, Peerless, Henderson, Yale, Thor, Scott, Apache, Dayton, Flesher Flyer, Traub, Pope, Flanders, Crocker and finishing last models of choppers built by modern constructors. I NEED SUPPORT OF AMERICAN BIKERS AND ALL WHO LOVE CLASSIC MOTORCYCLES BASED ON AMERICAN V-TWINs.
I want to be big true biker (like Paul Teutul Sr. www.orangecountychoppers.com or Joe Martin www.martinbrosbikes.com). ONLY TRUE BIKERS HAVE AND RIDE CLASSIC MOTORCYCLES. All other are MOTORCYCLISTS. And if I would ever have girlfriend and future wife, I would like that she would also love choppers like Gypsy Charros. And I want my future son would be born in true bikers’ family. In future I also plan to found in Ukraine museum of classic American motorcycles of 1890-1960. (similar to museum Wheels Through Time founded by Dale Walksler www.wheelsthroughtime.com). Of course, many exhibits will not be authentic motorcycles, but replicas of that ones, for example, there are good American constructors and companies that produce replicas of retro motorcycles, one of them TIMELESS MOTOR COMPANY www.timelessmotorcompany.com of Mike Hanlon as well as CHRIS MATTHEWS from C. Matthews Antique Motorcycles & Restorations who restore the best American retro motorcycles. http://www.jettrink.net/home.php
So, I have two dreams. First, I want to be student of WYOTECH (Daytona, http://www.wyotech.edu/program/motorcycle-technology/sp...lty/harley-davidson) on program Harley-Davidson Technology or Custom Fabrication. Second, I dream to be apprentice of constructors who build big, low, long choppers. I love such choppers. I have design of 5 theme choppers which I want to build with them and then to sell in Ukraine. Nearly 5 years I am looking for opportunity to be student at Wyotech. Duration of education is 15 months. Price is $22,000. But it is too-ooo-ooo expensive for me. I do not know how to find such money. I called to Wyotech and, unfortunately, financial aid (loans) is available only for American students, but not for foreign students. That’s why I have written this letter. In the Bible there are such words Matthew 7:7-8 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.” SO, I BELIEVE, THAT AT LEAST THERE IS ONE MAN IN WHOLE WORLD THAT SHARE MY LOVE TO CLASSIC MOTORCYCLES BASED ON AMERICAN V-TWIN MOTORS AND WHO HAS REAL OPPORTUNITY TO HELP ME HOW TO FIND STUDENT ORGANIZATION OR INDIVIDUAL WHO CAN GIVE LOAN FOR FOREIGN STUDENT WHICH IN FUTURE I WILL PAY BACK AFTER FOUNDING MY OWN COMPANY ON PROMOTION OF CLASSIC MOTORCYCLES BASED ON AMERICAN V-TWIN MOTOR IN UKRAINE. Help me to begin to live in real world of classic V-TWIN motorcycles and choppers, but not in virtual. I am opened for new friends.

I ask everybody to advice me what should I do and how to find partners to popularize CLASSIC AMERICAN V-TWIN MOTORCYCLES IN UKRAINE.
