    Question WTF! Wake up!

    Interestingly, my girlfriend went to sleep on the back cōming home last weekend from a long trip - it was all over in the blink of an eye - she slumped against me then woke up - real quick like - scary though - esp. when one considers what could have happened. Does this happen much?

    My wife quite often nods off on the back, she hasn't fallen off yet. Apparently the person riding behind me can tell when she's asleep because her arms go all dangly

    Years ago I fell asleep going over the Kaimai Rd on the back of my ex's ZZR..... probably wouldn't have if we didn't have packrack on and I wasn't all cozy and warm in 6 layers of clothing! Fucked if I'd do it now.... I'm a very nervous pillion these days!

    I had a pillion (young lady) go to sleep just north of Oamaru, and she only woke up when I stopped for fuel in Christchurch.
    Time to ride

    Haha, regular abrupt manipulation of the loud handle is required to keep everyone alert!

    Happened to an x girlfriend years ago on the back of my GT750, slept for most of a 3 hour journey. Speeding up to follow a porsche woke her up.

    Never had a pillion go to sleep. Had plenty for screams though.

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    Yep, combined with a rhythmic pumping of the bars and a flicking of the switches.

    You can fall asleep for a few seconds while driving,standing or walking . Just have to be fatigued enough , brain shuts down for a few seconds. Not good if travelling at high speed. Ever wondered about those crosses on the side of dead straight roads ?
