How come bike riders keep twisting the throttle when they're waiting for the light to change? I'm sitting there with my window down and the guy with his bike is about 3 feet away and it's idle sounds good yet he's gotta keep revving it as if to clear it's throat.

In the bad old days the spark plugs would foul if idled too long. If its not an antique the driver has esteem problems.
