I keep my bike in gear at lights. I downshift into first with wheels moving and there is no clunk, just a soft click as you would expect. Bumper to bumper traffic is another matter. There you are in and out to give your left hand a rest once in a while.
Back in the day this was called "riding the clutch". With our wet clutch these days, this practice is no longer frowned upon.
What is this "bumper to bumper traffic" (on a motorcycle) that you speak of?
