What's scary is the size of the pic!! 
I agree, tho......looks like an accident waiting to happen.

I agree
, pretty scary. Learned my lesson the hard way. I was 15 and had a Suzuki 90 dirt bike. I was re-jetting the cab and lost one of the screws. My cousin comes over and whats to take the bikes out for a ride. So I hurry and put it all back together still missing the screw. I assumed it rolled under the work bench. Well I found the screw after I tried to start the bike
. Fortunately I only took out the rotary valve and not the cylinder. So now I am a little older and hopefully a little wiser. Never leave intake ports open
