taking a poll

I usually get on from the left side if at the side of the road I'm on the side away from passing traffic and if I'm in a town ill be on the pavement (side walk) so its not so much of a stretch
however i do have a problem lifting the right leg high smashed right hip in 76 so don't have the full movement but still always prefer to go on from the left
perhaps i feel safer putting all weight and swinging on the best leg ?

Don't think I have ever tried mounting from the right, just seems easier on the left.

I always mount from the rear with a full handspring. Then dismount over the bars in a full laid out front flip.
I use the laid out position so I can lock the forks on the way by.
I thought everyone did it that way??

I would love for some to try my method and let us know what you think. I have an Ultra with riders backrest. From the right side grab the handlebar and squeeze the front brake, left hand on the rider backrest. With right foot on the front floorboard keep body-weight near the bike, step up and slide left foot thru. The bike will not tip up as some might think. Works really well for me with no effort at all!

Way I see it as long as when you get off the bike is still standing your good to go.
As for getting on long as you land upright in the seat hit the starter and go.
I tend to mount from the low side most of the time.

Well, I used to always mount and dismount from the low side. But when I built my garage I left a wider space on the left side for my bike. When it's in the garage, I have to mount from the right side because the left is up against
the garage wall. So, now I do my mounts/dismounts from either side depending on what the situation dictates. I'm just glad I can still get either leg up and over the saddle lol.

I'd have to say the right side to get on and to get off. I have a reason, and I do not care if it is wrong. I broke my left hip, so I swing my left leg over, and the right leg is my strong leg to hold the bike.
