Hope Harley gives him a new bike...

 

I HOPE Harley does more than just *accept* the gift and make floor space for it. Give the guy a bike!

 

Hadn't heard that latest update. Thanks for the link. A fitting tribute.

Goosebumps... just freaking amazing.

 

oops... double post

 

I bet they will give him a new bike. After all, I bet repairing that one would have been far more expensive than a new bike.

 

I find it somewhat humorous that it was a Harley Davidson and not a Japanese motorcycle. I mean really, what are the odds of ANY motorcycle drifting across the Pacific ocean all the way from Japan AND that it would be an American motorcycle that made the trip?

 

You would be surprised ... they love their Harley Davidsons over there. Remember before WW2 they had a plant over there. Our troops encountered Japanese versions of side valve configurations during the island hopping.
They were used all over Japan as service vehicles. I think they kept producing the bikes all the way up to the late 50's.

Remember this one?

 

It got homesick!

 

for canada?
