The owner has been found of a Harley-Davidson that drifted to Canada after being swept out to sea in the 2011 Japanese tsunami, BBC reported.

Details from the motorcycle's license plate helped to locate Ikuo Yokoyama.

The shop that sold the motorcycle to Mr. Yokoyama is now hoping to ship the Harley-Davidson back to Japan and restore it.

The motorcycle is among the first items in a wave of debris heading to the west coast of North America. Most of the debris are expected to arrive in 2013.

海啸幸存者摩托失而复得

       据英国广播公司报道,一辆哈雷摩托车去年日本海啸时冲入大海,日前漂流到加拿大。

       根据车辆牌照等细节,相关人士联系到了它的主人横山郁夫。

       售出这辆摩托的商店希望将其水运回日本进行维修。

       目前,第一批废墟残骸已漂到北美西海岸,该摩托车就在其中。而大部分残骸预计在2013年到达。
