How many bikes have you ever seen started by turning the rear wheel by hand. Good to hear bikes I've never seen in action running

Do they still start Speedway bikes by spinning the back wheel by hand?
I still remember having grazes on the inside of my forearm, if your bike was tuned well it was easy but if not, push.

Yeah Steve ,
The arm grazes when the bike was a bit cranky to start !!! , got them when I was trying to start me Godden , after a rebuild , by spinning the wheel in front of a couple of the local lads down the coast, they thought I was crazy, until it fired and ran !!
