I have one dodgy hip and a 30 inch inside leg and occasionally I struggle to get my leg over the GSA saddle due to limited movement in that hip. Using the peg and mounting like a gee-gee makes it much easier.

Yep and keeping tight hold of the front brake, helps you drag yourself up easier, and stops bike moving forward............

...there was once a day once when Voltarol wasn't needed to ride the bike ya know!
Usually have a roll bag on the back seat .... I stand at the side of the bike and slide my right leg onto and over the seat, then shuffle up to the 'bike on the left leg, sliding over the seat until I'm on. Works a treat 
No leg over required, just a leg up

This, I have to see!
Easy now
It's all the ebike cycling that has done wonders

I have seen it
Micky has perfected it and works
Guess I am lucky in my mid 50's and supple enough to get my leg high enough, like the girl closing that boot

Maybe it is full of air and lifts him up.............
Had my knee replaced,
In 2016 best thing ever. I understand your pain as I know it wears you down. Pity I can’t have my back replaced that’s well knackered. Those knee braces would be good to protect a knee replacement.

They are Johnny when your knees and hips are shot. Standing on the pegs make it easy to get on and off. You’re obviously a fit young dude
You’ve not met JB, have you?
Feck off cheeky
Hello Griff, I'm a bit of a shortarse at 5ft 7 and 29 inch inseam.My bike is a standard gs so I share your getting on the bike woes! I apologies if your already using this technique but I'll tell you anyway.
put the bike into first gear, flip up the sidestand and turn the handlebars away from you.that will lower the bike a bit.Then throw your leg over the bike but don't try to reach the ground with your right foot, aim your foot at the footrest that reduces the distance again. You will find most of your backside toward the left side of the bike providing secure footing and balance ,you only need one foot to hold a bike up, push the bike upright and start the bike in gear..works really well and safer than clambering all over the bike on its side stand especially if your a hefty lad.Hope this is of some use.
