Glad it wasn't anything serious Ferret, it stinks that some people out there just don't respect MC riders. If I remember (key word "remember") I try to stop 3 or 4 feet short of the line and watch what the car behind me is doing if they come too close this gives me a little buffer to move forward. I think the MC schools say to always have the bike in second when you come to a stop and immediately drop into first just in case you have to get out of the way quickly, anyways, enough preaching to the choir. What was getting hard for me on my Harley holding in my clutch at long lights, so I would put it into neutral (if I could find it) and I now do the same on the CB, which I think is a bad habit.
