One Wild Ride...

Mopar sends in this amazing story:

Harley-Davidson Swept Away by Japanese Tsunami Reaches Canada – and Finds its Owner w/photos
Last month, a Harley-Davidson motorcycle washed up on a Canadian island after a journeyed of 4,000 miles across the Pacific.  The bike was lost during last year’s Japanese tsunami and was discovered on April 18 by Peter Mark, a resident of B.C.’s Haida Gwaii, who was exploring a remote beach on Graham Island on his ATV. Mark found the rusted bike in a large white container that was part of a Japanese moving truck.
It traversed the Pacific Ocean in an old box van, washing up on a remote Canadian island thousands of miles away. Cosmetically the bike will need some work - which the dealership has offered to restore for the owner. Now that is service! It's pretty amazing that the box survived the trip in and of itself; that the bike was in a condition to be fixed is just shy of unbelievable.

Next up, the Harley Davidson jet ski!

That is all.

Not really--From a careful study of the picture, the parts most important to a Harley rider are still there...the Harley emblems....
