[QUOTE="Unicycle52, post: 1095489, member: 669"] I'm 5'3.25" with a 29" inseam at 135 lbs and just rolled the odometer on my 04 to 100K in 10 years. Always on my toes. Campgrounds and unpaved surfaces can be a bit hairy. Always have to plan ahead for footing. When I ride two up I have my wife get on the bike first. With the bike on the side stand she stands on the riders (drivers) foot peg, steps up and swings her leg over the seat and mounts the bike in the rider position (while I hold the left handle bar). She slides back to the pillion position. Once she is on the bike, the suspension is "squashed" a bit more and then I slide my leg in front of her and mount the bike and have better footing. On my tip toes, if I get on first, I can't hold the bike comfortably for her to mount in the traditional way by stepping up on the left passenger peg. Ladies first.........it's the way it is.
