getting on bike with luggage.

Flog your crappy 1200 and buy an 1150! Far easier to "mount" and just better overall!

Ok don't worry you are certainly not on your own with this one, my wife is 5ft and she struggles to mount the bike, which in turn means I struggle to hold it up whilst she fannies around. I was wondering if it is advisable for both rider and pillion to mount the bike whilst on the centre stand and ride/rock the bike off the stand?

Thanks for advice. Was told this way was dangerous by bike salesman?
Cheers,

When did you EVER believe a bike salesman?

I use the right footpeg as a step - as you put your weight on it the bike sags a bit on the suspension and becomes a bit more upright, Also gives you plenty of height to swing the old leg over ....
Works for me (and the missus)
