I've heard of that ridiculous practice being taught my motorcycle instructors in the UK...There is no logical reason to 'sit on the clutch' at a junction that I can deduce...I generally select neutral as I come to a halt and always have done...Ian
I saw the sitting in gear approach advocated on an American site. The idea is that you're ready to drop the clutch & get out of oncoming danger. I hae ma doots.
I don't recall having to do that in 52 years of motorcycling and about a trillion stops at junctions....However, I think you should stare upwards as well in case something drops out of the sky....:small_airplane: :comet: :laughing: ...Ian
