Check this video out; Guy starts his Venom after a year off the road and then leaves it screaming away in neutral for lord knows how long. Note the glowing exhaust pipe and smoke!. A little while ago this video had lots of comments of outraged Velo owners, but have been removed......seems the guy is a classic car owner ("never started a bike before")and must have forgotten the bike is air cooled!......

Why leave in reving like that? as well as not being kind to the bike it would drive me nuts.

There is no way he would be able kickstart my 535 work Bullet over like that and get it too start. It has to be done properly standing beside the bike.
