If I'm touring and have a duffel bag strapped on in font of it, I have to mount by putting my left foot on the peg and swinging my right leg over the top. Like being a kid and swinging a leg over the bar of the bicycle as you get it moving. Must look ridiculous.
Last year I went on a ride with Pterodactyl and another bloke on a Triumph ST. The bloke on the a Triumph had so much gear aboard that he had to perform this weird hop-step to get his leg through the gap between luggage and tank.
That's how I do it when loaded for travel.
