Depends on weather I am dismounting with oncomming traffic on my left or not.....JMO

 

Yepx2

 

It's Gaelic actually.

 

The mounting is debatable. The dismount, however, should only be preformed thusly: put down the kickstand, apply pressure to front break, bring both feet up on to the saddle, and then backflip off like you're Carl Edwards winning a race. Chicks totally dig that stuff. Just make sure you flip towards the high side so your weight pushes against the kickstand. You'd look like an idiot if you went the other way, kicked over your bike and then landed on your back. Good luck

 

"Lone Ranger" style. Stand 10 feet behind the bike, take a running start, put both hands on the rear fender and jump into the seat with both feet landing on the pegs.

Note: that only works for getting ON the bike.

 

And then lift up the collar of your shirt...and remove your ***** from the top of your shoulder, because they just got shot up your gut...up your back, and out of the top of your shoulders when you landed on them while hitting the seat.

I always thought the logic of getting on your bike was due to the fact that it leaned to the left due to the jiffy stand....and some people lean towards/forwards/on the handlebars as they get on their bike..thus the bike is leaning towards/into you as you put your weight on it..preventing it from being pushed over. Versus....some people who put their weight on the bars as they got on from the right side...since the bike is leaning away from them as it's on its jiffy stand...it's more prone to being pushed over.

That was just my guess for the logic of it. Doesn't matter to me, I'm 6'4" so I can get on the bike easily from either side without having to put my weight on the bars.

 

might be a thread hi-jack... OH WELL.

since I park my bike IN GEAR, I don't see the need to grab the front brake when I mount .

 

I don't want my front to BREAK, but I'll grab my front BRAKE!

 

No, Stonecat...

Nobody wants their front to break while mounting....

 

my first attempt at the carl edwards dismount didn't go so well any further tips? LMAO!!!
