You can't kill those things even if you try, mine ended up in the bottom of a pond twice, fell out a truck going 55mph. Had two oil changes in probably 10 years and i think both were after getting it out of pond. Finally starting taking care of it when i was older. Dad didnt wash it after fertilizing with it and it rusted the entire from frame out. I found a used frame and swapped everything over and it was still good to go. Sold it to a buddy for his kid a year ago and he still rides it.
