Tsunami-swept Harley in container found in Canada

Tsunami-swept Harley in container found in Canada
Tokyo: It must have been a wild ride. Japanese media say a Harley-Davidson motorcycle lost in last year's tsunami has washed up on a Canadian island about 6,400 kilometers (4,000 miles) away.

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.

Canadian Peter Mark, who found the large white container washed ashore, told Fuji that he "couldn't believe that something like that would make it across the Pacific."
