Thanks!

This is exactly what I need !

I don't mount from the right -- but this is excellent advice... especially for those of us in our mid-70s and beyond... thanks for posting !!!

I really need to go out to my bike and practise this! Great tips.

We're going on a group ride tomorrow. Now I know how to get on and off without embarrassing myself.

Thanks so much. At 72 and getting back into riding, I was struggling with dismounting. Great technique.

THIS !!! I’ve been looking for a video where someone explains this to me !! Thank you !! I’ll be practicing this in my garage this weekend . I’m old , fat , and have bad knees 😂 and look like a fish flopping around trying to get on and off of my bike , especially since I have a backrest on my Goldwing .🙏

Gonna Practice tonight, thanks for the tips.

Greetings from a 68 year old subscriber from Ireland,I found this video very helpful especially with my creaky joints..

This was great! At 71, I've been challenged mounting and dismounting. As always you two, thanks. Be well.

thank you for sharing this video. you guys seems like fun people to hang around! ❤

Double hip replacement here, I never had to think about this until now, I always just got off lol I’m learning life all over again thanks for the help. PS: when you read that your teaching instructors here, you know your at the right place.

Great vid! I'm 66 and just getting back to a bike { bigger cruiser with passenger backrest } after not riding for about twenty years. Not as flexable as I use to be I guess. Your info really helped! Thanks!

I came here to see if someone could help me learn a technique to get on my goldwing when I've got luggage strapped in the passenger seat. You knocked it out of the park. Very grateful! Thank you. - Cliff

You rock......I thought it was just me! THank you!

I just found this, you two are great. Very good ideas. 5'10" on a GL1800 using the floor boards are the best.

Good work on your video! I have to tell you, your recommendations are sound and make good common sense! As I get older, what you recommend makes a difference and I have done that multiple hop on my foot trying to lift my leg up and over. Good video partner and thanks much for your effort!! Bye the way, you both have an infectious laugh and a great sense of humor! Ride safe bruther! Take Care!

Great vid! I've been an MSF instructor for years, and didn't think of incorporating your right side mount/dismount into the instructions until now. One thing I'd noticed, you grabbed the front brake with your right hand, 2 fingers, on your right side mount/dismount. Might want to at least mention this in your vid. I teach this as a method (grabbing the brake) to really stabilize the motorcycle. Great job you two....keep up the good work!!

Learnt a lot from your video, buddy!👍

I do prefer getting on from the left side. I find it easier. I am not opposed to getting on from the right, but it's not my practice to do so. To each his own. This is one of those topics not unlike discussions about which motor oil to use or which tires to buy. Personal preference across the board. Ride safe. Ride well. Ride often.

Thank you, helpful tips!

Pretty darn useful video, clearly you put some thought into it. Who would have thought that ANY thought was needed to do this, add a couple decades and that flexibility fades. Good job guys, ride safe!

Finally help that really works. Thank you...

I learned something new today. Thanks.

Great advice

Have been riding over 50 years and just learned a lot from this video. Thanks for sharing it!

Love this. Subscribed!!!

Great walkthrough. These bikes are huge and need to be learned. You might consider a similar video on how and when the passenger mounts and dismounts. This again is different in these big bikes.

Thank you for the information. One question tho … when you ride 2-up, does the passenger mount 1st or the operator? And whether or not the passenger is first, can you show us that process? This video has earned you a sub from me. It has increased my knowledge. And for that, I’m grateful. Ride safe!

Can't believe I just spent 5 minutes of my life learning I've been getting on and off my bike the wrong way for 60 years. Now I know why one leg is shorter than the other. Thanks.......RF

Sweet bro ! I learn something tonight that I never thought about. Thanks.

B&J, Great tips, very well explained. Thanks!

You guys are Da Bomb. Ride safe

always good reminders ! thank you !

That 1st dismount you showed...the bad example with the foot drag....that's me right now. I found this video trying to properly mount from the right side. Thanks for the video. Will now give this a shot this weekend and practice.

3Sixty Love. Superb demo.

Ahh, that Kake. 😀 Love these instructional videos! I have recently starting using the foot pegs to get on and off my tall KLR. Thanks for the video!

Great tips! Thanks! Greetings from Costa Rica

Thanks for this!😀

Old with back injury,.going to try these methods GL1500,. Thanks! Liked, commented,.subscribed

Thank you

Thanks for your tips. Unfortunately I have a 29” inseam, and the first method is awkward. From the right is a good one. ✌️

Every time I get on and off my goldwing, I look like a dead body being tossed out of a moving car. This was helpful 😉

Well done !! I find later in the day, it gets to be more challenging on the big bike to get off and on. (Getting older stage) I use the floor boards more and more often now.

Great tip!

Top notch

Thanks for the mounting and dismounting demonstrations...maybe I can look a little smoother and be more quiet when getting on the bike LOL. Great video.

well done

Well done

P E A C E....👍

Good tips! The interruption cracked me up……

I am short. When I had my Dyna Wide Glide, the bike had a low seat height, I would get on from the left side. Now I have a Road Glide Limited and the seat height is taller. I have a hard time getting on from the left, so now I use the floorboard and get on from the right. Nice video 👍

Nice!! I always use my pegs to mount the bikes!! Fun to have company join you😂😂

Nice demonstration bro. The older we get the harder it is to thrown that leg over lol.

Excellent video! Not to be critical, but if you were of short stature, you won't be doing the leg over the seat with such ease, unless you're young young and athletic. The footpeg approach makes good sense for us shorter folks. I would like to caution viewers that, unless the bike is on a flat/horizontal surface, or one that leans to the right, be very careful when trying the left side footpeg mount, otherwise there is a risk of the bike tipping over (depending on your weight of course). When your wife is already in her seat, I would not want the driver to use the left side footpeg mount as this is too much weight, high center of gravity and force on the side stand. I'm actually going to try using the center stand on my Kaw Voyager XII, wife boarding first, then me, and rocking the bike forward. It's super stable on the center stand. I will also try your right foot on the peg right side entry, that makes sense. Thanks for taking the time to make the video and share with us!

As a short-arsed morbidly obese person trying to mount and dismount a Forza 125 scooter today in the showroom, this video was excellent. I'll just use the footwell next time!

I had a 2010 gold wing you’re a taller fella I’m short 29 inch seam and I had to take all the electronics out of under the seat I also lowered Bike 2 inches in the back that I was able to put my feet flat on the ground with the bike upright. For me, it’s safety and easier for me to swing my leg over the back rest,so that’sthe way I do it. I never wanted to step into traffic. I am 86 and I can still get on and off the bike easy but that’s just me ride safe. Be safe.

LMAO!!! That intro is me on many many ride mounts LMAO!!!

Great tips! I searched KZfaq extensively to find out how to mount a big bike with a backrest. I found many to install them but yours was the only one I found to mount/dismount. I have a 2012 Electra Glide Limited and the backrest is very comfortable, however, I've been struggling to get on and off. It's hard on a 67 year-old dude! I certainly will practice your suggestions.

My left hip has started bothering me from getting on and off on the left side without using the peg. I’m 5’8” on an ‘04 Goldwing with a driver’s backrest. This bike has fallen forward on the slightest slope with it’s nearly straight down kickstand, so using the pegs and shaking the bike getting on and off worries me. I’m going to give it a shot though. Thanks for the great video!

👍👍👍

You got a secret camera set up near me, LOL. Some days it's a struggle when the back flairs up. I use the pegs all the time. I also find getting on from the right is easier. Then your leg is going down instead of up and over.

I have a Honda Grom, even an old guy like me can get on easy.

My problem is bad knees. I can’t step up on the foot pegs that way. It’s impossible. I also have a drivers backrest that does not fold down. I’ve developed a way to get on that works good for me, but getting off, is very hard. I end up dragging my foot across the seat which will eventually tear your seat. If you have any suggestions, I’d be very great full. Bill

I am a really big guy -- 6'4" / 350. I have a BMW GS Adventure and I just can't seem to master getting on and off on the right side. Bike wants to tip over every time.

K lastima Canel te queda poco SIN🏠 ABAJO EL PCC

Years ago, we had a right leg and a left leg instead of a good leg and a bad leg

Get on: right side with right foot on right foot peg. Get off: with right hand on left grip, lift left foot off of left foot peg and over bike and stand on left foot first. Look around and listen for applause. If none repeat.

That momentum could easily see me on the other side

I like getting off on the right side myself to me it seems easier.

Sister and Brother.Im 65 on a 2500 mile, 7 day tour, again... I have 2 bad knees, both need replacements, so my knee flex is limited... as fast as flex, I mount my wings, oh. 7 different ways, depending if my pillion seat has a cargo net full of gear , gear for touring.. The day I cant mount my WING or BeaST (st1300), ughhhhhh .... I hope I have another 500k miles in me touring like a 65 yr old ninja..lol.. be well be safe! #Youtwo ❤☠

1:42 Her spot move is precious 😊 Love it. (I got you..)

My problem is I have a bad left knee and I'm fat.

Don't mount like that! I broke off my footpeg of my GL1800 while on holidays. Fyi I weight 90 kg.

Not that informative for shorter riders. Looks easy for you, as you have high inseam. But what about shorter riders? You should have gotten your passenger/spectator to demonstrate.

Never get on the low side. Get in and off high side so you don’t get hit on the highway!
