Why does the motorBike tutorial run in parallel?
 
I know sounds silly ....

Running the motorbike-tutorial in parallel works fine. After snappyHexMesh, all field-files (u, p, ...) need to be adapted to get the "procBoundary*"-Patches included. At least is this the case for all simulations I am trying to run. My workaround is to do "reconstructParMesh" and "decomposePar" after running sHM in parallel to get simpleFoam running in parallel afterwards. This is annoying.

However, the motorbike-tutorial runs without this, it only copys field-files from "0.org" to processor*/0. Theses files do not contain "procBoundary*"-Patches, but simpleFoam runs. Why?
