Dang, that would have been very handy when my man had the Triumph Tiger...soooo comfy a ride, I did nod a bit a few times!

But on the back of the Suzi pictured, no way...we'd be having too much fun around the corners!!!

I have fallen asleep as a pillion before...that definitely would had made the the trip alittle more interesting

**kiwifruit** · 13th July 2007, 20:31

from the age of about 8-9 i'd pass out pillioning with the old man
it got worse and worse, by the age of 13-14 i'd nip off within 10km, spend the rest of the ride trying to stay awake
wouldn't matter if he was peddling it or not, its a trust thing
by 14 i'd perfected the art of sleeping while not smashing into his helmet, fully dreaming etc

On me old XJ, my ex use to tuck her hands into the handles of the side saddles, and the with the top box back rest she use to happily nod off to sleep.

I know she use to nod off, even though she never admitted it, I use to hear her snoring over the intercom...

Of course you can't...He actually had one of these, but before we got together. He absolutely LOVED it.
Now, he's got a SV1000 and has a whole lot of fun...but damn that thing is uncomfortable for the pillion!

Hence the fact I now have my own bike

Fell asleep quite a few times during long rides at the back of a Kawa 750, on an average speed of 200kms/h...pretty dangerous, get my hands smacked very vigoursly lol...too long ride on a straight road

This topic has been talked about at the last couple of parties i have been too, and there are a few who admitt to the 'doze off'. After a big day out, returning home at night (around 7.30) i felt Annes lid hit the back of mine just as we got into Warkworth, so i gave the front brakes a short sharp grab (just to make sure that she was indeed awake ) As it turned out she only sneezed, so i have no need for velcro at this stage.

Pointing the front wheel at the sky tends to interrupt there dreams......

**Babelfish** · 13th July 2007, 22:17

I was riding with this girl one and she fell asleep....it was never the same after that.

That screen would be handy for preflight briefings though!

i'm struggling to get my head around this a person falls asleep on the back while holding on to the rider in front and this is where it gets me once a person is asleep they relax and so does there grip on things wouldn't ya fall off

I bet "helmets" are often the topic at the "parties" you attend....have you been hit often from behind by someones helmet???
