Try it at about 30mph. Ok, depending on which side you go off of, lets say you go off the right side(like i do). Take your left foot and swing it behind you and sit back down, now you are riding side-saddle. Put your right foot out and put your left leg on the right peg. Slide down and hook your left arm on the tank and take your left foot off the peg and you want to keep them kinda in front of you while they are dragging. Try to keep your head center, cause you dont want to know whats gonna happen if your head goes right. When you come back up, just pick up your left foot and put it back on the peg, then climb back over. You did it. Now, GO TRY IT!!!!!!!!!

Just remember that your not going to be putting a lot of pressure at all on the ground with your feet. The most of the pressure will be you leaning on the gas tank to hold yourself up.

Tried it today, felt kinda wierd so I sat back on the seat. I only put one foot down. I couldn't really figure out how to keep my weight on the bike, the bike seemed to low.

I don't know I'll keep trying.

If you have some front and rear stands try that first put your weight on your arms underneath your pit. And i would only go about 15 mph in a parking lot this way if you lose it you can run back to the bike and hopefully catch it before it hits the ground. And keep almost all the weight off of your feet.
