Put yourself in position. Sales to your quad for a ride discover and explore a bit the environment around you. A fun time for beaches away from the hand of God, where tourists never go and only known by the locals. It's a weekend again, a little more breathing the ocean air mixed with clay. Until you find something that is not usually there. A silhouette of several meters and angular appears in the middle of the arena. Time to call Iker Jimenez? No, still. It seems only container.

But curiosity, of course, is killing you and you decide to open for a look. What you find is the last thing you would have thought: a Harley-Davidson in "near perfect" state. This is a true story of Peter Mark, a Canadian who was on Graham Island beach when he met with such surprise. Checking the registration of the motorcycle authorities were able to conclude that it was one of the units of the prefecture of Miyagi, severely affected by the tsunami in Japan last year.

Apparently the force of the water carried the container beyond the island and ocean currents were in charge of the rest. Knowing the number plate right now is looking to its respective owner while the machine is resting in the place where it was found access to the beach is really complicated.
