Never really thought about this until I started looking at all of your photos, but perhaps it's been discussed before 
In the UK we ride/drive on the left. I've always assumed that is why motorbikes have their prop stands on the left. When you drop the stand, that's the side you get off the bike, and then back on again. So here in good old blighty it's the side away from the traffic if you're mounting or dismounting at the side of the road - thus not getting off into the path of any passing traffic. The same goes for the use of a centre stand, all from the left.
So for you guys riding on the right, do you walk out into the road or jump on the bike from the 'high' side to avoid the hazards of passing traffic ?
Just a pointless idle thought
