Wow, mine came in boxes, but that is nice. Damn nice.
I don't know wat I'd do, keeping it inboxes would be nice, but having a brand new old bike would be pretty cool.

Very nice, There's been a story going around for years where I live in Mount Evelyn, Apparently there was a US Service depot during WW2 here, it was the backup ammunions and Hardware incase the Japs invaded Australia and we had to retreat.
It's been discovered 2 or 3 times since WW2, it's all underground and occasionally an opening will appear then gets resealed quick smart.
Supposably full of trucks, Bikes, Motars, Cannons etc.
The historians in the area swear it’s true and know people that have been in there.
I'd love to get in there one day and have a peek.

There isn't anything at Bandi.

A sad story about WW2 Harley's

My father fought in the Pacific in the Navy.  At the end of the war the orders were to dump , destroy, or bury any excess military hardware .  Being in the Navy they dumped in the ocean.   Among other things there were dozens and dozens of woodend crates that had to dumped overboard.  You guest it ,  complete harley's ready for assembly.  When  I see and hear stories about WW2 military Harley's I think about my Old man throwing them into the Pacific .  There is a little good news to the story ,    a few of the guys on board found a way of hiding some and brought them back home.   Unfortunatly my father was'nt one of them !!!!!      

hahaha... stories will abound for years to come.

You may recall a recent expedition to Burma trying to locate 20 Spitfires that were reportedly stored underground. Expedition came up empty handed. ... but then again there are suggestions Mountbatten later had them dug up and buried more securely in a top secret bunker hidden at Bundaburg airport in Queensland  

.....and TIGHAR have recently identified via ROV and sidescans that apparantly might reveal 20 Spitfire crate "shapes" sitting on the seabed near Nikumaroro Island in the Pacific, and are seeking additional funding to digitally enhance the images.
