Jerry, here's my two cents' worth, also from Arizona. I step on the footpeg to get on the DR, but that's a really tall bike. I have a 32" inseam and stand at about 5' 10" and can't even come close to flat-footing that bike. Even my Hawk has me with my heels just slightly off the ground. The V-Star is easy with a low seat height, but I don't think it would do very well on anything not paved. As for the Ural, that one is really easy to get on and off, and with the sidecar there's never an issue having to put my feet down. It really loves eating up the dirt roads and desert sand, too. I would say either a) take a trip to CSC as you mentioned, they're a great group of folks out there, or b) find something that you're comfortable with at one of the local shops. Both RideNow and GoAZ are good reputable shops, and I do business with them both. Give me a shout if you want to come down and look over the stable some time and see if anything catches your fancy.
