gse123 gave me a great idea for this poll! I see a lot of threads about tall riders and their hump problems, but I like my hump, thank you!

When at home and its parked in the cave under the house I slide down a chute onto it the same way as Virgil Tracy gets into Thunderbird 2.
If I'm away from home I use a Joe 90 jetpack to lift me up over it then gently descend onto the seat.

I have all the gear on and I have lower back issues so swinging my right leg over the seat is impossible (I remember the days when I could Now, I step through, sit then get cozied in. It takes away from the initial "get up and go" factor, but once the throttle turns, I'm.....

Where is the tall person option!

I just swing my leg over avoiding pets, kids and midgets?

Still undecided after two weeks

If I lift my leg up and step over the lower section to get on the bike, I end up catching the fuel cap 'lid' with the heel of my boot. As a result it has some nice scratches in the plastic there already

I got the same problem. I'm only 5' 5" so a proper short arse. I may have to get a nice sticker to put there so that gets scuffed instead?
