    Motorcycle shops to help return Harley lost in Japan tsunami

    Peter Mark / The Canadian Press via AP

     

    The Vancouver Sun reports: A Langford motorcycle dealer is helping to return a Harley-Davidson motorcycle to its owner in Japan after it was washed out to sea by last year's tsunami and ended up on B.C.'s northwest coast. With the subsequent news that the owner had been found, the bike is to be taken to the dealer's shop and packed for shipping to Japan in its rusted state. Harley-Davidson has offered to restore the bike at one of its Japanese facilities so the owner can see the motorcycle before and after.

    "I think it's going to be great that it actually goes back in its original condition. I think it's going to have a lot more meaning there," said Steve Drane, owner of the Langford dealership.

    Outgoing U.S. Ambassador to China Jon Huntsman has suggested that he is open to running for the Republican nomination for president. As we reported last month, when he returns home he can step right in to a campaign that is described as "revved and ready".

    msnbc.com story: Harley Workers Vote In Favor of New Contract

    MILWAUKEE - Hundreds of Harley-Davidson workers voted in favor of a contract proposal from the company, a vote that will most likely keep the company's manufacturing operations in Milwaukee. The seven-year deal with freeze their pay, slash hundreds of jobs and assign large volumes of work to nonunion workers.

    I bet the CEO and the board of directors didn’t take a pay freeze for seven years. Or slash any of their jobs. They more than likely got a Big Bonus, for sticking it to the working man.
