I mount and dismount from the high side

Sent from my SCH-I535 using IB AutoGroup

 

I have to say the results here so far have amazed me. I never gave it any thought and my entire riding life, bicycle at 5 to FLHR today at many years later I have known anything but left/low side. Always seemed natural to leg over and bring the bike upright in the same motion. But the majority here so far are high side. Makes me think... Hell, I don't even know if I can make those mechanics work. It'd be like throwing with my left hand after doing it right handed my while life.

 

High side on, low side off.

 

High side always, both on and off.

 

I totally agree with you nervous left side always

 

Why not just get on your bike from the side thats most comfortable to you?

Not sure there is a right or wrong way nor why it even matters what side others get on their bikes.

 

If you get on high, should you fall off low?

 

It never mattered to me, depended on the situation, but mostly the left side.......until old age, bad knees and the new Ultra with tour pac and riders back rest came along. Now it is the high side almost exclusively.

 

Ride Like A Pro course showed "patrolman" mount. Right hand on right handlebar, right foot on footpad, stand up and swing your left leg over. Bike did t even move. Me, 6' 3" so I can do it from the ground.

 

A horse has a high side??
