I had always mounted from the left, until I put a drivers backrest on.
Now it's easier to get on from the right side.

Usually the left side unless it's parked in the garage . . . I park close to the wall in the garage so I have to mount/dismount on the right side.

Left for me too. Feels natural, or at least safer.

Always from the right and get off on the left. For last 40 years of riding.
