Stand behind the bike, take a run up and jump mounting the bike, ride off into the sunset...


No seriously I use the standing on the footpeg method (testing the ground first if on dirt). I have a top box on and don't have the proper flexibility to either get a leg over the seat or miss the top box so I just find the other way easier. If your mounting using the footpeg i've found sitting down on the seat hard will distribute the weight to the opposite side of the stand so it is easier to get off the stand (i had a bad leg injury in my left leg so sometimes I don't have the muscle strength in that leg to push it off the stand so i've developed this method with all the bikes ive owned over the years).

I've only ever dropped her standing still once and it was at a set of traffic lights, put my foot down without actually checking the ground as I was riding up, was a spill of diesel and my foot just slipped straight out and we all went down. No damage to bike though, only to my pride after turning around and seeing an attractive 20-something year old girl in the car just behind me.
