I don't drive in city traffic much anymore but I always did look in my mirrors. Flashed my brake light on and off as I slowed down and kept a good eye out for someone coming too fast.  And made sure I was ready to get out of the way of something that looked like ut was not going to stop.


I beleive the car practice taught in NZ is to go into neutral and put the hand brake on. Then if your hit from behind you may not get fired out into the traffic.


Perhaps modern bike clutches can take this punishment but for sure my old Matchless one would not. And if you look at a Commando even a perfectly set up clutch is going to generate a bit of heat.
