Varies. Sometimes the right leg; sometimes the left leg. Same-same with dismount.

I use the left, cause I cant get either high enough to go around or over the tour pack or rider's backrest.

I stand to the right side, pick my left leg up and stick it straight toward the other side, kinda like a karate kick. Somewhere at the apex of all that, my left boot comes down on the seat and I just slide right in. Works every time.

Frankly this sounds like someone has a case of the "heaving leg flu"!!! you throw it up, and over what? Then there's the sneak attack from the rear????? Can't it be done with both???? I mount from the left side by swinging my right leg over the seat ....... barring my foot doesn't catch on my saddlebags, I'm in business!! Although I have snuck up from the rear when I was a bit younger!!

What was the question again????
