ORIGINAL: dougbk

I upright the bike and my gal puts a hand on my shoulder and waits for a nod before she gets on. Tried it on the side stand once and she didn't like the way it felt.
Same as this rider. It seems like the bike is more stable when upright (not that it isn't on the stand) and I have both feet on ground right hand on brake. She learned quick not to step on until I nod back an OK. She prefers gettin on from right side of scoot.

I get mine up and then the ol gets on, wouldn't have it any other way. But then again if she gets it up..... as Jerry Springer says thats another show.

You guys are all lucky, my wife won't get on the bike at all.

Hmm, maybe I'm really the lucky one.
