What's pathetic, someone asking a safety-related question and getting helpful comments, or someone who has nothing better to do than&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;call the thread&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;"pathetic?"
Wow!&nbsp\\; Is that a tail or a broomstick?

I put my left foot in then my left foot out. I do the hokie pokie and I turn myself about.
&nbsp\\;
I think I put them down at the same time actually but have only put down (left) one sometimes but never right.&nbsp\\; Depends on side slope.&nbsp\\; But I never go into neutral at a stop unless there is a await and traffic stopped behind.&nbsp\\; Dammmmmmiiiiiiiiiiiittttttttt!&nbsp\\; Now I have to think about it!!!!

I almost always go into neutral at a traffic light.&nbsp\\; What am I gonna do, run out into the cross-traffic? Hell, I might as well jump off the damn thing...

Right foot down first, left foot is making sure I'm in first gear, then left goes down...clutch in, finger covering the front brake, eyes dart around both mirrors &amp\\; if I see a cager&nbsp\\;coming up behind me,&nbsp\\;I'll flash my brakes a few times.&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
Wow, I had to think about that...it usually just happens.

Left foot down, right foot on the brake.&nbsp\\; I always leave it in first and leave my self space enough to move forward or to the side if possible in case a cage looks intent on a rear-ender.

Left then right in first with a finger on the front brake. Ready to go if I need to.
