How the hell do you come to that conclusion??

Surely if the engine is warmed up and maybe had an oil replacement, it should be fine. I can't see how binning it or the bike being on its side can contribute to oil starvation of parts if you allow the oil to settle back again?

The whole engine began its life without oil so it's got to start somewhere??
