Tsunami-swept Harley in container found in Canada

TOKYO (AP) — It must have been a wild ride. Japanese media say a Harley-Davidson motorcycle lost in last year's tsunami has washed up on a Canadian island about 6,400 kilometers (4,000 miles) away.
The rusted bike was found in a large white container where its owner, Ikuo Yokoyama, had kept it. He was located through the license plate number, Fuji TV reported Wednesday.

Harley Corporate is going to restore it and return it to him . How cool is that

Great to hear Harley is going to restore it.

It's hard to fathom what happened over there. I've been to Sendai several times and it's unimaginable to think that those waves washed through the airport like they did. I'll be heading over later this summer and taking the shinkansen up north past the tsunami hit areas. Not really looking forward to that part of the trip.

A soccer ball and a Harley aren't much to recover after such devastation . Still , they are both feel good stories that may help ease the pain of loss just a bit .

Kudos to Harley for stepping up and doing what they do! American made comes to the rescue of Japan!
