Not trying to troll. As you can see from the brick...the bikes parked outside, under a tree.
Ive read articles talking about how guys change up the oil system on these old bikes because the current setup doesnt allow for a decent oil filter. Also said something about how dirt in an engine can get in between a piston and the wall then start grinding once its running.
two second google search, heres the articles (article 4 is what Im referencing):

If you are worried then a squirt of oil is all you need. Even grains of sand will get coated and flash of as soon as it is started. You are imagining the worse case scenario where anything that might have gotten in has landed around the outside of the cylinders and is going to gouge the walls. Anything on the pistons will burn of and/or blow right out the exhaust.
