ORIGINAL: Mrkicks

I use the one in the middle and vault over.



Kicks

To funny Kicks! By the way, don’t forget to use a “puck” on new asphalt, sand, and other soft surfaces. [sm=lol.gif]

I always throw the right leg over. Although, I often sneak up from the rear on the little 125s we use to teach the Basic Rider Course; they are so small you can almost walk right on to them. Be safe.

Since mine is not a bagger and it leans to the left, the most comfortable way is to throw the right leg over. But I do a double back flip with a twist dismount

Well, mine IS a bagger but curves a little to the right.

30 some odd years ago, I approached my bike in front of the local bar and was about to throw my left leg over the saddle and mount my ride when suddenly, a large hand grasped my shoulder and pulled me back. As I spun around to see who the ell was messin with me, I saw it was a well known and liked local biker who imediately said, "Don't ever get on from this side, man......it's bad luck!"

A week later he was hit head on and killed by a drunk driver, who crossed the centerline and smucked his bike while he was riding home from work.

I always throw my right leg over first.
