Always get on and off from the left side.


Unless you were trained as a motor officer, of because of unlevel ground it is better to mount and dismount from the right.


All us old cowboys always use the LH side. You try to get off the high side she will start dancing out from under you.

Before I added the fixed rider backrest I was able to swing my right leg over the passenger seat from the LH side. With the backrest and my age induced declining flexibility I hold the left handgrip with my left hand and use my right hand to grip my right boot as I raise it over the center of the rider seat. With the help of the right hand I'm able to mount without ever touching the seat with my boot. May look kinda stupid but I'm more worried how the scooter looks than me.

 

I don't get what you don't get. Just because the original post is 5 years old doesn't diminish anything whatsoever regarding mounting a bagger. Nothing has changed and people still want to know how others do things. And furthermore, I've gleaned much more useful information reading threads that I never started than I have on a thread I did start. As if the answers given are only for the OP. I don't think so. It's a shared knowledge base and not always time sensitive.

Or maybe you were just trying to show your prowess in that you, out of all the recent responses, were the only one to realize this was a 5 year old thread. Or maybe others of us knew, but didn't care, because the topic is STILL RELEVANT.

If you didn't overthink it, you might have gotten it.

 

What Danzio said.
I'm new to the forum but I find a lot of the old threads are relevant still.

 

I believe they call that the "Hopalong Cassidy" method.
It has been 6 or 8 years since you originally posted that. Have you changed your method any?
