After thinking about it some more, I will call that a cheat, it has fuel injection, a non standard evolved ignition system and a cam with lots of overlap and I won't even mention the engine has been built by one if not the best Norton guru out there.
If anyone else can put up a video of a standard or near standard Commando (I will accept an Atlas too) being hand started by a normal human being (guys with arms bigger than my waist are OUT), I will concede it can be done.

PS Jim, a starter on the rear hump would work well on your bike seeing it is so easy to start.
