maybe one handed off the back. But doing it off the side would feel like the bike is gonna run from me.

Best I can tell you is just feel it out. Everybody weighs different and it all depends on where you put your weight. Just try and feel it out.
I know that probably wasnt much help but its the best I can do for you.
Good Luck.

the only thing I can think of is to hook you leg (calf, I guess) in front of an engine peg, and use the bracing to counter you missing hand i.e. left calf on a front engine mount peg, and left hand on throttle, with both feet sliding

i got it last night after work
i skitch of the left side so..

cross over like normal
before you step off lock your throttle or click into nutral
grab the top tripple tree underhand.
so your hand is palm up and elbow on the tank
then step off
while skitching take your left hand off the bar.


heads.
when tryinig this way you cant roll on the throttle to keep your balance

this would be much easier if you have handlebars on risers you could grab the middle of the handlebar underhand and have better control.

I couldn't make heads or tails of what he was saying- I jump off the left side, put my weight on my right tricep (on the tank) and let go with the left hand. Off the back is simple put your weight on your stomach and let go (no handers are even easy)
