I didn't count, but it seems like most of the "low siders" don't have tourpacs.....?

Either if the backrest isn't on. Almost always the low side if it is.

As I'm walking around the bike it depends what side I'm on when the music stops.

High side for me only because of the tour pak though. There's more room getting on from the high side in that instance. If there is no tour pak either side works for me.

Low side on...high side off especially with a tour pack and rider back.

Being short its low side for me...not to mention i like to see the stand firmly planted on the ground....seems natural to sit on bike and stand it up
