someone said they keep it in gear , to have a way out if someone potentially is going to rearend them.
Not only that but you want to take of ASAP people drive Krazy and are extremely impatient.
so even the guy that was already stopped behind you could gun it and you stall or are fighting with the clutch NOT a good situation IMO
Also I like to just let the bike sway back and forth (playing with the frisction zone) this will help make you and your bike as one.
Stoplights... who stops for those? lol j/k
I keep it in gear until there are a couple cars behind me,... then I'll put it in N... but I am also ready to put it into gear if other things happen... it's a split second, but I'm willing to take that chance as the rear ending is the biggest cause of incidents...

That's exactly what I do too.
Same for me
That's pretty close to what I do. If it's a really long light and there are a number of vehicles behind me I might go to neutral but only to give my left hand a little reprieve from the clutch and then I go right back to gear.
I also take another precaution to help my situation out as well. I pretty much get into a lane splitting setup after I have come to a stop and the people behind me have piled up. This way if for some reason the jerk behind me does gun it then I am mostly out of the way already and they can potentially go right by my without hitting me.
I stop in my normal position in the lane and then after the person behind me stops ( I keep an eye out) I then move to the edge of the lane.
This has saved me some grief a few times now, Florida old fart drivers are ridiculous and notorious for rear ending bikes down here. Also doing this method always leaves me with a very good out in the event something happens. I don't have to swerve around the car in front me, just go straight forward mostly.
I have done this method a few times even with cops present and never had one issue, even had a couple cops give me a thumbs up as they watched me do my process.
Usually in gear unless like everyone else said you're sitting too long and need your hand a sec. Then back to first.

Even though I was preeched to keep the bike in first gear when at a stop, I still tend to put it in Neutral. Don't ask me why but its just me and I tend to test my luck with other people on the road even though I have learned first hand that almost everyone in chicago on the road can't drive

I stay in gear most of time unless my hand cramps up. Until car behind me comes to a stop and i'm sure i'ts not gonna barrel over me,i'm in gear.
