    Apparently news organizations have begun to categorize Harley-Davidson products as Debris / Trash. :)
    Pretty neat find, hopefully the bike can get returned to its owner. Do they call Harley's corn burners in Japan?

    Talk about a message in a bottle! I hope that the owner can be found. How cool would that be? To have your missing bike found a year later on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

    It is amazing what two tires will keep afloat. In training we threw a"flat" spare tire with rim into the pool and we had as many of us as possible grab onto that thing. That tire help keep afloat 9 people. Granted we tend to float ayways but just saying. G
    Besides, aren't Hardly Doinganthings full of hot air anyways.

    If there was fuel in the tank that would act as a pontoon I would think... Oil would float on water even after processed into gas. Pretty amazing stuff! Living on the Left Coast we should see a lot of debris start showing up in the near future.

    Like Paul said, it was a closed container containing a harley, golf clubs, and some other misc. Still super crazy that the container made it all the way from japan! It must have floated right by us in hawaii lol. Hopefully the owner made it through the devastation and can be reunited with the bike.

    Since the bike was in a Cvan maybe it was originally on it's way to Sturgis.
