How NOT to pop the clutch on a motorcycle

Probably a derby, but a search turned up nothing.

Oh yeah, the audio is terrible, I suggest turning speakers off

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?    x10?

[He Man]

people do stupid things when the camera starts rolling.
