Never gave it much thought but I do mount from the right. Guess from where I park the bike in the stable its always been easier to mount from that side, plus easier to access that saddlebag since its positioned better for entry. OL also mounts from the left making it easier for me to stage on the right...

From the right

Always from the right. Thought everone knew it's easier coming down hill than going up hill. Your are talking right and left and not right and wrong aren't you

Always from the left, til an old man at a truck stop showed me how to get on from the right properly. Handlebars to the far left, grab front brake, step onto floorboard and stand up. Easy swing for the left leg then........ I still get on from the left mostly but it's good to know how to do it the other way.
