New event at the Olympics- watch Maxtog spring down the track in his leotard, to mount his C14!
58 HERE, almost 59, TaeKwonDo for many youthful years, I now mount the bike "like saddle horse"...
hehehhehheheh
Not IMO... I prefer the body lines of the gen 1 better.
Zero hops. Maybe I am more flexible than typical, or maybe it is because I have short legs, or maybe it is from all those years of martial arts when I was younger... but I have no problem going straight over the seat with my leg while facing the bike.
How else would we mount it?
I have a big-ass trunk, and I don't want to scratch the tops of the sidebags with my boots! I will start making "Bruce Lee" noises from now on as I mount up...
Most people seem to want to face forward and try to swing their leg behind and over. That will scratch the bags.More like a scuff than a scratch. Multible scuffs, actually.
Indeed... that will help!
