DV, just curious, what's the "proper" way to enter and exit?
Step in and slide down(?)
Stand up and step out(?)
I tried to tell people that, shown them and explained where to grab the seat and how to slide down. Some still don't listen.
regardless, I still warn them every time. (my brother-in-law has ridden with me several times and mocks me, "I know, I know, be careful, pipes are hot")
I installed heat shields over the winter, but I'm still careful
