Hi. Well come to think of it neither have I.
That is kind of strange, come to think of it, especially since we drive on opposite sides of the road.
You would think somebody would've made something that way.

Hi. If you look I have only seen people get on there bikes from the left side and people get on horses from the left side too. I do get on my bike from the right side sometimes.
Must be a side-effect of a predominately right-handed society.

As I think about your question I wish, "Give me a center stand." Stand up, push down on stand, blam! Bike is in the air and stable. Oh yes, electromechanical release switch too. <click><whir><thump><LCD changes from a falcon to "Activate throttle now.">
Never heard of that....ever......if you note, we get on and off our bikes on the same side as a horse...
I know the old British bikes had the shifter on the right.....while riding my brother's Norton, I hit the rear brake lots of time trying to shift the first few minutes of riding...
At one one time all stage coaches and horse drawn wagons were controlled from the right, when we went to cars, North America switched sides for some unknown reason....

Farm bikes have kick stands both sides . . the DR200 Trojan
and the TF125 Mudbug.
It's kinda weird putting the bike on the RH side stand for sure.

We never got either of these bikes here in Canada...

Most of the time I pull the clutch lever when stating the bike.
IF a bike had a right side standard and you were going to mount it from the right side the
clutch lever would be farther away, and probably more awkward to grab on to.
In America most all cars, trucks, etc (not including mail delivery vehicles) are on the left side
regardless of you being right handed or left handed. Just like bikes always having a left side standard.

Clamping the front brake is a smart thing to do when mounting especially when parked on dirt or gravel.
