How NOT to pop the clutch on a motorcycle (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wi6N5Iyqfwk&feature=related#lq-lq2-hq-vhq)
Probably a derby, but a search turned up nothing.

HAHAHAHAHAHA....
And he's obviously got at least 4 people there inc himself - how hard is it to push start a bike (by hand) with 4 people? It's NOT. All that damage is his combined lazy and stupid tax
The cameraman suggest that they were not trying to pull-start the bike as much as destroy it in some creative way. I saw a guy push start an R1, while sitting on it, doing no more than about .8 miles an hour. Granted, he looked like he'd done this a few times, but I was impressed. It went like this
thumbing the starter
whirrr, click
whirrr, click
<helmet-muffled cursing>
push push, click, vroom
So, yeah, how hard could it be with four people?
Now I admit that I enlisted my neigbhor to help me push start my bike. It didn't work and it wasn't pretty. My wife, watching from the window, said that (and I quote), "You guys looked like two monkeys trying to make the beast with two backs a football!" Hey at least I didn't drag it across 60 ft of pavement while documenting on video.
At what point does towing a bike behind a vehicle to start it sound like a good idea? [drink] x10?
people do stupid things when the camera starts rolling.
