    Even the ocean says it doesn't want an HD

    A guy in Vancouver was beachcombing, and stumbled across the remnants of a moving truck washed out to sea by the Japanese Tsunami. Among the contents? A rusty HD.

    damn, I would've thought it would be in the ocean floor, not floating around like drift wood. Didnt think the tires were that buoyant.

    It was in a sealed shipping crate with other shit, not floating on its own.

    Proof that Harleys don't even make good anchors...
    Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
    Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
    Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.

    Likely cheaper for them to park it in the museum and hand him a new one.

    The thing looked rougher than a night in jail and Chinese 'rithmatic combined.

    Restoration even I wouldn't take on.

    Can't imagine what the salt water has done rusting things together. OTOH it'll probably drop less bolts than a new HD.
