    side stand side. just seems to make sense really. Never considered getting on or off on the other side.

    Nearly all men can stand adversity and hard time, but if you want to test a mans true character, give him power....

    Side stand although I ticked the comedy option

    Ive tried from the other (high) side a few times for shits n giggles but its not the most clever thing one could do
    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

    Always the left (stand) side if I have a choice, easier to throw my right leg up and over then my left!

    By the way the only time (so far) that my KTMs bars have touched the ground is when for some strange reason I got off on the right. Got tangled up some how and the bike followed me over!

    Even with bike on centre stand, still get on at the LHS!

    The side opposite the stand, I find it easier when I have a pack rack on the bike.

    When I had the VTR250 it was so small I could actually get on from the rear.

    you can see from my gallery pics how tiny the VTR was for me.
