Now, how do you get on a bike that's on it's centerstamd with a passenger already in place?
Anyway, Naomi always did the climb-the-ladder and step through method already mentioned.
Ever seen the movie Billy Jack, I'm limber like that. ;D(not really) I step on the left peg with left foot and raise right foot over.
I'm not a big guy makes it easier. You may remember me you and Jeff rode up to Bart and mines camp in Ouray. You thought I was Jaxon because of the bald head and goatee. If I remember right you are a mountain of man which would make it hard for me to put my right foot against the right side of your face. Just kidding of course

With the bike on the sidestand and the wife on the back, I step between her and the tank with my ninja-like balance and flexibility. :))

You are not forgettable. :)
It's these forum nicks vs real name vs face that can throw me off.
Some reason I remember Tennessee when I think True Grip. Lol

Yeah, we are just coming up to 70 and have been riding together for all of our 50 years of marriage. Forget all the psychobabble about sustaining a marriage - just get out there on a bike and travel together. 20 years eh.... I've been wondering how long my body would keep this up so that's a very encouraging estimate though I notice I get uncomfortable after fewer miles than 20 years ago. Every time I damaged something road-racing, the doc said "you'll get arthritis in that injury when you're older. "Yeah, yeah - whatever" thought I. Now I AM older and you know what? He was right! I did know one member of our touring club who was in his mid-eighties and still covered long distances on his R100 then circumstances dictated that he move into sheltered accommodation where there was no place to keep his beloved BMW. He died a few months later. There's a lesson there....keep riding at all costs! Besides, its still such fun.
That's just beautiful, man. Amen brother!

Viewdvd Amen to that, you sir are a wealthy blessed man. Lots of miles and smiles with your best friend. Can't beat that. I also reckon the quality of our rides is as valuable as the quantity. So lets mount the Beast and make every ride the best ride.

Good memory!
Even standing on the peg I need to swing the leg, can't step that high in that short a distance.
