I was wondering what everyone does at a stoplight. Do you put your bike in neutral or 1st gear? I see a lot of people put their bike in neutral and "relax" when they are stopped. I have personally been taught and always do keep my bike in 1st just in case some idiot doesnt decide to stop and I need to get out of the way in a hurry.
tho it depends on the stoplight (if i know its a short wait then i hold the clutch) i generaly put neutral to give my hands a rest.
and by the way.. regarding the people that might not stop behind me. a) when im at a stoplight, i watch the stoplight and perhaps the intersection in front of me, NOT my RV mirrors, b) i dont think you can avoid someone coming from behind if youre in a full stop.c) since im always filtering the only thing that can hit me in a stop is other bikes.
