So over a year after the Japanese tsunami a Harley Davidson motorcycle was found washed up on shore in British Columbia inside a moving van that floated across the Pacific. Using its license plate and a little detective work the original owner in Miyagi, Japan was tracked down.

It's pretty crudded up but Harley Davidson has announced that they will restore the bike to its original condition before sending it back to its owner in Japan.

Harley Davidson is genius on customer relations.

No tales of miricle Hondas?

There would probably be too many Hondas to maker it worth the cost to repair them for free publicity.

Harleys and sold as luxury bikes in Japan and Harley makes a really good profit on them.

Most people would say most Hondas are more dependable than most Harleys. But that is not why people buy Harleys.    Especially in Japan.
