I'm with him. I'm usually always clutched in and in gear at a red light just in case I have to move fast in an emergency.

This is also my fifth M/T vehicle and I've never had to replace a throw out bearing (just jinxed myself). Only clutch I replaced was due to going bigger snail.

Not sayin whats right or wrong, just my technique.
