63, 5'11", 30 inseam, 225 pounds.

With side stand:
Approach from left, facing back of seat (45* angle off side of bike};
Hold left handgrip to steady bike with left hand;
Place ball of left foot on peg;
Stand on left foot (use momentum of approaching bike to rise up);
Lift right knee along side of seat;
Place right hand to right of right knee, palm under knee on top of shin bone right below knee: PULL UP;
Pull right knee to chest and gently extend, not swing, right foot over seat;
Rotate left foot to normal position while placing right foot on right peg, butt on seat, and right hand on right grip, while straightening the handlebars to central position.

Sounds complicated, but very easy IF YOU START FACING BACK OF SEAT and use the momentum of the twist to line everything up all at once.. Lifting right knee/leg is easy with the hand and arm helping.
