Default what side when you get on bike?
does anyone mount thier bike from the high side of the bike? since my knee replacement i tend to smack my right saddlebag sometimes with my shoe on the edge of lid. read somewhere someone had the same prob and this solved the hitting saddlebag issue. not sure how but i figure what the hay ill try it a few times.

I've done it a few times but just doesn't feel natural.... maybe I've just become accustomed to it.. but 99% I mount from the low side
