dogman Posted April 19, 2009 Author #26 Posted April 19, 2009 I have to admit about 25 years ago on my 920 Virago while riding straight thru from Toronto to PEI I fell asleep and was awaken as my full face helmet came crashing down on my gas tank. Luckily I kept the bike up and no other cars where affected by my riding. After that I pull over when I get strong tired feeling rather than fighting it. Walk around and if I feel better get back on the bike and keep on going.
Russ Posted April 20, 2009 #27 Posted April 20, 2009 Never had the wife fall asleep, but I've fallen asleep riding home from work. was on my dad's Wing. not sure how long I was out and didn't go down, but the rumble strips just about made me leave a rumble strip of my own in my shorts. as for new parents with cranky babies using the bike to put the kid to sleep, been there, done that. when my oldest was born used to sit him in his carrier on the back seat and just let the bike idle in the driveway.
1rooster Posted April 21, 2009 #28 Posted April 21, 2009 Wife sleeps in the sidecar all the time. LOL It makes for a nice quiet ride I know what you mean.Sidecar was the best investment I made.The wife sleeps,watches movies,reads,turns on the heat when cold and stays dry in the rain.She is such a good passenger.....
Zfrebird4 Posted January 8, 2010 #29 Posted January 8, 2010 ... with friends on their two bikes. My wife was a QS rider. They had their boy of about 6 or 7 with one of them, and they could not keep him awake. We took him between the two of us and he folded right into my wife's arms, ... and continued to sleep like a baby until we dumped him back into their arms at home. Legal? Nope, but we drove very, VERY safe. Kids are neat. Loved the story of the wife on the Queen Seat asleep at the toll booth where she was supposed to pay. Employee probably had her eyes check the next day! LOL. JackZ Ft Collins, CO
Zfrebird4 Posted January 8, 2010 #30 Posted January 8, 2010 ... wife? Any more of them around? Would love to have a Queen Seat or UP rider wife! WOW, that would be cool. Had the QS rider in my second best wife, but never an UP Lady of my life. LOL. JackZ Ft Collins, CO

ctraylor Posted January 9, 2010 #33 Posted January 9, 2010 My daughter falls asleep and I make her put her hands between my waist and my belt and she leans against me and sleeps and I don't have to worry about her falling off.
