Maybe they have an earpiece for a hands free cellphone so with the engine off they can make that all important quick phone call.

It's cause their pipes are too loud and it hurts their ears! Not to mention that they are embarassed when their grandma pulls up next to them and has to roll her window up.[8D]
When moving, its not so bad.

I don't know, do you think shutting the bike off for a minute at a traffic light is going to do anything to cool it. What ever little cooling is done is wasted when you start the bike back up if not made even hotter, especially on carb models.
If you want the bike to cool down, pull off the road, get a cup of coffee or something and let it cool. Shutting her down and starting her up at a traffic light will do nothing but wear out the starter faster.
