When getting on my trike, I always climb on from the right side using the driver floorboard. I always put gas in from the right side also. The front tire seems to be always pointing left. The seat on my '95 Sportster is so low that I get on from either side. It was the same with my '99 Softail and my Spyder. Don't know if I look cool or not. Biggest thing to me is not doing a face plant.
