This video shows how to mount the bike differently, maybe some ideas.
Setup a camera. Hopefully it is boring and you erase the footage. If something happens you can figure out what went wrong and if you're feeling generous you can post the video for giggles.That was fun, might try some tomorrow. err later this morning.
Yikes all around. Glad he is having fun but cringe. Centrestand and sidestand down at the same time is asking for problems. That's a lot of weight on that bike for someone with mobility limited that much.Where there’s a will, there’s a way…
I tried it few times and it worked so well that I don't even think about it.Maybe I'm just weird but I MUCH prefer the hard luggage look on the bike...cleaner, sturdier...but do see the benefits of the soft luggage.
As for getting on/off... @oioioi showed me a good method to hop on which I've never seen before. Bike on side stand, stand on left foot peg, and basically use that as a step up to swing one's leg around the back of the bike. Never tried it before but will when I get a chance.
Hopefully no witnesses...
@MacDoc doesn't meet the age requirements for a Burgman. He's about 20 years too young.Curious. Why wasn't a burgman an option? It would have ticked all the boxes.

Everything i know about scooters have come from you. Put your hackles down.I love people that talk about things they don't know about.
Burgman 650 Exec is too heavy and too expensive tho I thoroughly enjoyed my 100,000 km on them.
There are a bunch of other maxiscoots that are lighter and newer tech and I did consider the category but the reason I moved to the Burgman in the first place ....bad clutch hand no longer is a factor.
Then don't speculate .Probably budget. Used ones usually need a new drive belt. Belt replacement is stupid expensive i think.
It’s just a CVT torque converter belt, no removing a swing arm like a motorcycle.If I'm wrong about the drive belts. Enlighten us. You're the expert.

My hero!Made this for you today, @mimico_polak.
This is how us short guys get on and off tall ADV bikes. Small blooper while getting off, my leg didn't clear the bags... oops...
