Default question

So i'll be picking my bike up soon and I have a question

One of my buddies told me that if you touch the exhaust of a brand new bike and then start it up and the pipes get hot (obviously), that the oil from your fingers will burn into the pipe.

Is this true? and if so, should I bring a rag and some cleaner with me just in case someone has touched the pipes?
