#298557 Darn (User) Don't forget, Never forget. Platinum Boarder Posts: 7083 Dismounting, Leftside or Rightside? 1 Year, 10 Months ago   This might sound like a "Dumb Question" but I normally exit the bike on the "Kickstand" side of the bike, but I've noticed lately a lot of people who exit the opposite side. What side do you exit the bike?   Logged     Free, personalized tra   The administrator has disabled public write access. #298559 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride! Moderator Posts: 12511 Re:Dismounting, Leftside or Rightside? 1 Year, 10 Months ago   I vault over the windshield or sissy bar. Kickstand side of course I'm short.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #298565 Thom M (User) When the going gets weird, the RoadStar gets going Gold Boarder Posts: 916 Re:Dismounting, Leftside or Rightside? 1 Year, 10 Months ago   Well I have issues with burning my leg, so I dismount on the left side.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #298567 jamie99roadstar (User) As confused as a hungry baby in a topless bar. Platinum Boarder Posts: 3364 Re:Dismounting, Leftside or Rightside? 1 Year, 10 Months ago   I get off the same way as Curt, over the bars. Or the kickstand side.   Logged     Feenstras Towing   The administrator has disabled public write access. #298571 Darn (User) Don't forget, Never forget. Platinum Boarder Posts: 7083 Re:Dismounting, Leftside or Rightside? 1 Year, 10 Months ago   The only benefit I've seen with getting off the opposite side is if you turn the handlebars to the left, it can "Getchya" if your not careful.   Logged     Free, personalized tra   The administrator has disabled public write access. #298572 Greeny (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 502 Re:Dismounting, Leftside or Rightside? 1 Year, 10 Months ago   It all depends....is the closest bar to my left or my right?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #298574 Stick (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 679 Re:Dismounting, Leftside or Rightside? 1 Year, 10 Months ago   I say since it leans left then mount left.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #298578 takehikes (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2279 Re:Dismounting, Leftside or Rightside? 1 Year, 10 Months ago   Always kickstand side. On our bike that also keeps you away from the pipes. Trust those of us with missing hide from pipes that it's a bad idea dismounting the side they are on. By the way, kickstands are fairly universal left side as are the foot levers for centerstands. Personally I like my bike leaning WAY over to the left. I run in to far too many spots where if it doesn't lean a lot it will fall over when parked, or close to it.   Logged     http://aeechoppers.blogspot.com/   The administrator has disabled public write access. #298588 tommy421960 (User) TOO MUCH CROME TOO LITTLE TIME Fresh Boarder Posts: 87 Re:Dismounting, Leftside or Rightside? 1 Year, 10 Months ago   I always get off on the kickstand side. Never thought of the otherside. Would just seem weird to me. TOMMY   Logged     KEEP YOUR HEAD UP.

What side do you exit the bike? Ok I'm going to be the odd ball here. It's a 50/50 deal. When I rode the 2000 before it was converted to a trike it has true duals and the rear exhaust pipe is right there on your left leg. In fact so close that when you back the bike up your leg can hit the pipe. So I would exit off to the right as the front pipe was further away from my leg. Also my harley has duals and again I find alot of the time unconsciously I exit the right. When I had kick start bikes it was very common to get off on the right as you would jump on from that side after starting the bike. Never gave it thought till you brought it up though!   Logged     Last Edit: 2010/07/27 13:30 By hardone2get.     The administrator has disabled public write access.
