Amazing machine and saves wear and tear on the others in the crap weather. Always good oil, never over revved, etc. although used to the full. Engineering wise, when it's time to break it breaks whenever that may be although at 80k is a little early. At 7-8000 revs, the rod half flailing around will cause a lot of damage in no time as it didn't seize straight away. Had it seized straight away the apparent damage may well have been less.
