Melt them down to make screws, nails and other building materials???

Although if they send a Ulysses or two they may be handy for the busted up roads.

Well here is a funny story.

After we nuked Japan Harley sent over a ton of bikes because that was the only way to get around because the road network was destroyed. I bet there is a similar situation in Haiti right now!

Harley also moved a whole assembly line there (Japan) cause it was easier to build there than ship over bikes.

They'd have done better to raffle them off at say 50 bucks a ticket, & send the money.

I can understand the Japan idea after all they were milspec models presumably.

If they've sent some Blasts & a couple of Cityx or something usefull I could get my head around it.

But you KNOW any shiny baggers that turn up there are going to end up for presidential or ministerial use only.
