I step on the left floorboard, like a stirrup, and then a full roundhouse kick over the back fender. However it's a little humbling when I have my assless chaps on.

Re:Dismounting, Leftside or Rightside? 1 Year, 2 Months ago  
I mount/dismount on the left but on long rides for some reason I find it easier to dismount on the right. I find that with the back rest I can pull my left foot across a lot easier. As far as the wife I mount all direction Just kinding she alway's mounts from the left as that's the way I like it.

ROFL, I sure hope that you at least have some pants on underneath! LOL

A dismount for me depends on whether I'm dressed to the left or the right... I hate getting folded so I go for the opposite side, ROFL
Yea right I can only wish!

Always to the left to avoid the hot pipes. I do have a taller sissy bar than the stock so I have to bend my right knee to clear it.

Now that was some funny stuff...I died laughing!

I too never thought there was another way not have I seen anyone mount from the left side.

... the Mr Nice, inside me says to reply "mostly from the side stand side"



... however, the Mister Nasty, inside me, demands that I say ... "my freakin' bike, so I'll dismount which ever way I freakin want!!!" ...


... am so glad that Mr Nice is in charge ... oh, dammit ... now they're having an arguement!! ...

How does everyone install a new roll of TP? Over the top or from underneath? Inquiring minds want to know!

Oh and I forgot to add that (not on the Roadie thankfully) I have also dismounted over the front and off the rear in the past!
