Go beach combing and find a Harley...

....Wonder what kept it afloat,....air in the tires,...and gasoline in the tank? It would be most cool if the Harley Davidson Co. would present the chap with a new bike....providing he didn't get swept out to sea. Time will tell.

Floated there? Hard to blv having had one of those things try to crush the life out of me. It must have been on something else to float there. Call me skeptical.

The article said something about it's being in a container of some kind.

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.

Actually, the container is the box off a truck.

So they have "redneck bike garages" in japan too?
Well, on the beach in Canada now anyways...

Cube van bodies do make nice storage units and are the perfect size for bike parking.



Glad to hear the bike turned up. I hope the owner is still around to be reunited with it.

Ours are pretty special -- imported from Japan

Found, identified, alive and healthy...

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.
"This is unmistakably mine. It's miraculous," Yokoyama told Nippon TV when shown photos of the motorcycle.
Yokoyama lost three members of his family in the March 11, 2011, tsunami, and is now living in temporary housing in Miyagi prefecture.

The Fuji report said the motorcycle would be shipped back to Japan, and that the shop that sold it to Yokoyama would help with paperwork and storage.
