    I live in the UK,so i have to.Not only because that is what side the stand is on,but i am right handed too.

    In 2003 I bought a new Ultra with a sidecar, if I lived over there I would have had to crawl over the sidecar to mount from the left side. :-)

    I don't have any superstions but I do mount my bike from the right side.  Putting ones left knee on the saddle and kick starting the bike sort of carried over during my years of riding.

    For a short period I owned a 1973 HD 350 Sprint with the kicker on the left side.

    All the others were ofcourse on the right side. :-)

    I never hear about any bad luck. I have a green bike and I love green.

    Last time I saw a 73 HD 350 was in Hollister back in 2014 at the rally.They are rare.

    Good fun
