Default Left, Right or both...which one do you use?

Which foot is on the ground at a light and which one is first to hit the pegs?

Left is first to hit ground, always keep the brake covered as long as I can; first one up is right, once again for the sake of braking.

Right foot on ground, left on peg. 1st gear engaged, clutch in, with an "out" so I can keep some dumbass from rearending me when they are coming up too fast on their cell phone.

I allways put my left foot down, by then Im in first gear. I keep my right foot on the peg, and most of the time on the rear brake. I allways think, when I see guys put both feet down, that they are either new riders, or have bad balance

I keep it in first until 2 cars have stopped behind me.
