We all remember the tsunami that struck Japan in 2011, the human and financial losses it caused, and the painful memories it left behind. One of the fictitious stories related to that Tsunami is the loss of a 2004 Harley Davidson FXSTB Softail Night Train motorcycle owned by a Japanese citizen in the March 2011 tsunami, which was stored inside a container at the time of the tsunami.

Surprisingly, and more than a year later, this bike appeared in April of 2012 lying on the western coast of Canada overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The bike crossed about 6,500 kilometers, and its owner was identified by its numbers plate, which remained in good condition despite everything it went through. Despite the dirt and rust that covered the bike, the owner was happy to get it back.

The bike has not been cleaned or restored since it was found. The exposure to different elements during that long journey greatly deteriorated its condition. Many parts of it have been damaged by moisture, oxygen and salts, and any attempt to clean or restore them would erase the evidence of what this machine has endured, and the motorcycle would no longer serve as a testament to the ongoing tragedy of the tsunami. Therefore, the bike was preserved in a private museum and put on display to the public so that the memory of the tragedy and the victims would remain engraved in the memory.

Motorcycles have always been associated with stories of adventure and the soul, and this bike has proven that it has a soul of adventure and challenge within, which pushed it to challenge the impossible and cut this exceptional journey before reaching its destination.
