Update on the motorcycle delivery. Everything went perfect! Bike is unreal! Will post more on that over in the NSNP Motorcycle thread.
I had a nice conversation with Olexsi. He owns his own transport business and drives a nice smaller sized box truck with built in ramps in back. The inside is all set up to lash down motorcycles securely and safely. He had 4 other bikes in the truck today in addition to mine and was heading south from here. Melbourne, Port St Lucie, Fort Pierce, and then over by the Gulf - a town called Dover. He owns a couple Hondas himself but said he's so busy he doesn't have that much tme to work on or even ride them.
Married with two children.....just moved down to Florida (Windermere) a few weeks ago from Connecticut. He's been in the USA now for 2 years and 4 months. Was able to enter & stay here legally through a humanitarian program. Said he's SO GLAD to be here in Florida because of the weather. Big smile on his face when he said this.
Politically comments - when asked by me for his take. The Democrats are corrupt, just like those running Ukraine. Many Americans don't understand the amount of corruption in Ukraine. It's no different here...there, or in Russia. He likes Trump and feels he will be a better manager of America's interests as well as other countries in Europe. Said the results of the election didn't surprise him one bit. In part because of what he hears in his travels around the country - which is mainly the East Coast. Said he makes 4 round trips per month on transport runs.
Also said he hopes the migrants living and working in the country do not get kicked out. My only reply to that comment was as far as I know they will mostly be going after criminals and deadbeats. I told him if he runs into a problem - he should pick up the phone and call the president. He's a good man and will resolve any issue you may run into.
He also clearly stated he has no vote here so can only observe and give his opinion. I didn't ask him if he'd planned to apply for citizenship or not. That would have been a good question.
