haha good question, no I did not drag it behind a moving vehicle. As far as taking care of it I can assure you that this is one of the finest maintained M6's you will find, just read my ad description. I am more of a function over aesthetics guy, yea its got some scratches and rub but what I am concerned with is that it is operating properly. If you want a killer m6 that is ready to rock then here it is, If you want a pretty looking bike then maybe this one isn't for you...
