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.

thats funny. i also have a midget garage for parking my bikes under my house. sadly, no chute though.

gn2 something like this?

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.....

haha! Yeah I find the hump location on the seat perfect for me. I think I wouldn't like it if it wasn't there actually.

That would quite possibly be the best thing ever.

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?

On the other hand being short and weighing next to nothing, my bike hardly notices i'm there and flies along gets top fuel consumption so all is well

Do any of you use grappling hooks to climb aboard?
