I've found if you sit with the clutch in, at a stop, and you're not already in the gear you wish, the transmission stops spinning completely, and has no momentum to be able to engage a gear with. If you find yourself in this situation, letting the clutch out for a hot second, and then shifting usually does the trick (this is equivalent to rolling the bike forward or backward), either way your spinning the gears in the transmission, which allows the gears to engage.

No worries, I knew it was my own error.. not exactly a PRO here yet

Thanks for the VERY useful info you just gave me. I'll try the "let go of the clutch for a bit" thing on my way home and see how that goes!
