[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1249434, member: 3828"] I've seen some other couples mounting that way, and have an idea for you to try regardless of your stature. You mount first, as normal from the left side, with the bike on the side stand, then slide forward in the seat and hold the front brake. She mounts from the [I]right [/I]side by stepping onto the passenger foot peg with her right foot, grabs your shoulder(s) and swinging the left leg up and around the back (or over and through) then sitting down. Dismounting is just the reverse. Lifting her leg up and around the back is easier if there is no trunk or backrest to deal with. Either way is made easier for her by the bike leaning away toward the side stand, which makes the right side foot peg higher. Because the bike is on the side stand it is very stable and her weight on the right side peg actually takes some weight off the side stand. With both of your weights on the bike, it will settle and be closer to upright, so easy enough to get vertical and get the side stand up. We also have our headset cables on our right sides, so the cables do not tangle up since she is getting on and off to the right. Try it. [/QUOTE]
