Tsunami Harley-Davidsion to be preserved as memorial to the tragedy at company's headquarters

A Harley-Davidson motorcycle swept 4,000 miles across the Pacific ocean in the aftermath of the Japanese earthquake and tsunami of March 11, 2011 will be displayed at the company’s museum in Milwaukee as a memorial  to the tragedy, it was announced today. The 2004 FXSTB Softail Night Train was discovered on the coast of British Columbia by Canadian Peter Mark on April 18, 2012 inside of a cargo van container along with several other items. Using the still attached Japanese license plates, the company was able to track down its owner, Ikuo Yokoyama, who is still living in temporary housing after losing his own home in the disaster. Harley-Davidson offered to ship the bike back to him, but Yokoyama instead requested that it be preserved to honor those whose lives were lost or affected by the natural disaster. "It is truly amazing that my Harley-Davidson motorcycle was recovered in Canada after drifting for more than a year," Yokoyama said in a press release. "I would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt appreciation to Peter Mark, the finder of my motorcycle. Due to circumstances caused by the disaster, I have been so far unable to visit him in Canada to convey my gratitude.” Although mostly intact, the bike is severely dented and rusted after being battered by the tsunami and spending more than a year at sea. "The Harley-Davidson Museum is honored to receive this amazing motorcycle to ensure that its condition is preserved and can be displayed as a memorial to the Japan Tsunami tragedy," said Bill Davidson, Vice President of the Harley-Davidson Museum in a press release.

Any one for a ride.....

we have a nice long weekend and i would like to ride at least once this weekend.  I have a lot planed doing the landscaping this weedend and finishing up my wifes craft room but maybe sun i would like to try and take a putt around for a few hours.  let me know. 

ZOO........

june 9th me jac and sophia are going to the zoo, if any wants to go let me know.  We  are going on that date just to go.  Its easier to plan it than to just go on a wim. 

Two Things....

One, I still have that trailer I pulled behind the Heritage when we went shooting at the Pauly's farm if you guys ever want to use it for a trip. I can even help you with a hitch if need be...

Two, I know I don't come around enough to ask for a favor, but life is busy, always, and I don't even feel like I spend enough time with my family, so its hard for me to justify hanging with the boys, but if you could find it in your hearts, I would like to plan a weekend to finish my hard tail. I have my sporty road worthy and I am just going to use the frame that I have already purchased. It is a "sporty" frame set up for a small evo, a springer front end, a mounted and balanced rear tire and I think I am going to buy another fatty tire and wheel for the front. I figured if I painted the frame in advance that a good weekend with all hands on deck, could swap everything needed from the sporty to the hardtail. It was his idea....

When Money and Time Eludes Me a Monstrosity is Born

No time to finish building the hardtail but can't stand the T-Bars so 18" apes, 1" Risers, No Controls, Internal Throttle, One Electrical Tape Grip, and I feel like I have my manhood back.....

It's been awhile

Nice Sporty

Rockstar Formulated Harley Sportster XR1200

Published by Cyril Huze May 7th, 2012in Builders, Customs and Editorial.

Rockstar states that its energy drinks are the world’s most powerful, providing an incredible energy boost for those who lead active and exhausting lifestyles, from athletes to rock stars. Rockstar sponsors a lot of events like Surf, Skate, Snow, MX, BMX, Off-Road, MotoGP, Rally, Wake, MMA, Bull Riding, Bands, DJs, Live Music and has already collaborated with several custom builders to create energy themed custom motorcycles.
Their most recent collaboration with the custom motorcycle industry is with UK based Shaw Harley-Davidson. The company commissioned the HD Dealer to build “something really cool that would appeal to all audiences, from the younger generation to those who have been around motorcycles for many years.” Steve Willis, Team Principal of Shaw Speed & Custom, the Harley dealership custom division, was in charge of this project.
Up to the challenge, the crew pulled apart a 2011 stock XR1200, the Harley model inspired by the legendary XR750, the king of the gritty American Flat Track Scene, and took inspiration from Motocross and BMX to produce the Rockstar MXR featured here. Shaw Speed and Custom is very familiar with restyling all Milwaukee models because being an official HD dealer, it’s the only thing they do… and they do it very well.
