The side of any vehicle nearest the kerb is the nearside, the side farthest from the kerb is the offside.

I guess I don't understand what you mean by "offside" in your question. I know when I get off my bike, I get off of it on my left side- which is the way it is leaning when I put the kickstand down. I don't think that's what you were asking though. I've never seen an answer on here that was blocked for having too many low votes- and this question has a few of them.

the protecting participant only deflected it and did not preserve possession. on condition that he had possesion ought to Frei have not been offsides. So the assiant ref became perfect in calling the offsides. word how the flag stayed up even previous the purpose. this entire tourny became ruined by using undesirable reffing and a biased commitee

Assuming you are in the U.K. -
Offside = right hand side, furthest away from the kerb, nearest to the middle of the road (called that, because carriage drivers would dismount, or get 'off' from the right hand side when stopping).
Nearside = left hand side, nearest to the kerb (called that, simply because it is 'near' to the kerb or road edge).
This applies to all vehicles, not just motorcycles.

The "nearside" is the side closest to the curb so the offside in theory should be the side opposite the curb. Works great in cars but have never heard it used on motorbikes

Kicking the wieght back on the kickstand and turning the bars/ wheel to the left secures the bike and allows you to see that all is in place. More importantly holding the wieght of a bike in easiest when it leans on you instead of trying to pull it back/ up. So safety is protecting yourself and the bike. Keep the bike in balance and be sure if it's out you are able to support it against you. Live to ride!

The side opposite the kickstand, or as Harley Davidson says "the jiffey stand" . Ever try to mount a bike opposite the kick stand. It don't happen. Do these people even ride a bike???

Looks like we got a pack of non bikers or dummies here! The side the kickstand is on! Left! I dont figure you guys rationale here! Its harder to get on a bike when its leaning away from you than it is when its leaning toward you! I've been riding for 40 years, I just met a few riding buddies 20 minutes ago, They ALL mount and dismount their machines on the left side! The side the kickstand is on. For you thumbs down morons, I'm sure your local driver stations have motorcycle rider training programs!

Well, since the top is the "On" side (where I sit), The bottom must be the "Off" side (where I landed, my bottom).
Actually, not knowing the definition, I tend to agree with the curbside answer. I don't really think it refers to mounting, but position.

in the UK the off side is the side opposite the cerb, near side is next to cerb, its the same for all vehicles,
PS its not the side you get off (IE) side stand side.
