"This is why I'm glad Ducati made the Diavel. When I'm too old or sore to lift my leg high enough for my bikes, I'll get one of those. ;-)" Funny you should mention that, the only bike in the garage I have a problem with is my Diavel when I have the shad bags and passenger backrest installed. I found it easiest to mount it from the opposite side swinging my left leg straight at it. The XR is a bit tall but there are no impediments to swinging my leg over. I once watched Gary Nixon in the paddock at Daytona when he was racing on the "pair of nines" team with Jay Springsteen, they had build a step for him in the pits to get on the bike. I did not get to witness how he got off. I've often wondered how one would remount on the trail after a get off on one of those tall ADV bikes. I still wonder why they have to be that way the new KTM 790 has a very reasonable seat, even on the R version.

I've used this method on a bunch of different bikes, but they're all different. Many Ducs mount the kickstand directly to the engine cases, and if something goes wrong, you're in for a massive repair bill. Regardless, loose bolts are the killer here - make sure they're tight, check them regularly, and use loctite too. The other option is the Karate Kick method. Get your right leg over the bike by kicking directly at it, then slide your butt over. This is why I'm glad Ducati made the Diavel. When I'm too old or sore to lift my leg high enough for my bikes, I'll get one of those. ;-) Pags On Tue, Jun 11, 2019 at 7:36 AM Mario Baroz <mariobaroz@hotmail.com> wrote: > Hey guys, > > I've been riding for 35+ years, all sportbikes until recently, and have > always gotten on them the traditional way by just swinging my right leg > over the seat and plopping down onto the bike.

I believe it belonged to a guy I made some club patches for...Ducati Club of Canada. I think he's a member of this list. IIRC, his wife's name was Sue and he built her a Honda CX500 to look like a Guzzi. Maybe I have all the affiliations mixed up...wife/club/bikes.... man, getting old sucks...I can't remember anything.
