This has saved me from behing a hood ornament once before while I was waiting to make a left.
They don't teach it anymore ( at least at the las. MSF class I was at), but I always cover my clutch. Never know if you need to power out of a situation or disconnect the drive (eg an engine seizing up when at speed).
It's spring and bikes are everywhere. You'd think cagers would take notice.
Be careful fellas.
