Re: Tsunami Japanese registered Harley found on Canadain shore
Here is another update story and the picture shows the bike now washed out of truck and in the sand, wow I guess the tide -weather blew it out of truck box? and truck box is now gone. They may be lucky if it is still there?
They say the dealer plans to restore it for him
. Funny thing is that now the most famous Harley in the world is owned by a Japanese man (I love that). It will never replace his family sadly , but a great gesture from the Harley people
Boy that would be a big draw at a motorcycle show! The bike is famous now.

In the video on this clip you see a few pictures of the bike before the tsunami in the truck box from the owner.
