My neighbor had this sitting behind his shed, for over 20 yrs. Hopefully it won't sit on my deck for the next 20! My wife won't let me bring it in the cellar. I said "Come on, it's raining, it's gonna get rusty(er)"! ....She's just jealous. The only thing that works is the kickstand, actually I'm not sure, I haven't tried to "kick" it up. I'm not going to feel "bad" about painting this one.
