This was sent to the Media just moments ago. I thought I would pass it along. It came with a message to share, this was a message they sent to all the dealers yesterday. I think I speak for everyone here at UTVUnderground when I say that our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Japan. This is a terrible tragedy and event that can and will affect us all in one way or another. It is also something that we here on the west coast of the USA are not immune too. With nuclear power plants on the coastline, faultlines up and down our continent, and predictions of future earthquakes we should all take note and precautions because we could easily be in the same situation Japan is in some form or fashion.

JAPAN EARTHQUAKE/TSUNAMI UPDATE
Dear Kawasaki Dealer,
Many of you have called conveying your thoughts and prayers for Kawasaki’s staff and family members in Japan, as well as the hundreds of thousands of Japanese citizens who have been affected by this tragedy. Your concern is both appreciated and heartfelt.
The primary disaster area is centered near Sendai, which is 185 miles northeast of Tokyo. Kawasaki’s Akashi factory is located 400 miles southwest of that location. Fortunately, the Akashi/Kobe area where KHI offi ces and factory are located did not experience any direct effects from the earthquake.
The people of Japan will continue to face immediate hardships; the situation there is changing daily. The companies that operate there, like Kawasaki, will continue to monitor the situation and will be prepared to adjust business operations as dictated by circumstances.
Again, we want to thank you for your concerns. As more information becomes available we will provide you with updates.
Sincerely,
Tak Teranishi
President
Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A.
