Mine ain't been on a bike since 87 well she ride is the Ural sometimes but if she die I know she would fall asleep cause in the car or truck it don't take her long till she is out. And when she gets in the bed its like you flip a switch she is out. Hmm maybe I got bad breath or I stink. I know it is me cause whenever anything happens it is my fault.

My wife has dozed a few times, but generally only after LONG stretches in the saddle. Mostly we ride 100-150 miles then gas up, if i push it much further than that she will tend to start nodding off. I find that its worse if we are up late the prior evening engaging in extra-curricular activities.

She's out like a light. I joke and tell her I'll have to bungee her to the backrest. No problems. Just down right funny.

The little one is good for about an hour and then it's lights out! BUT, just try to go for a ride without her and there's hell to pay!

The first time I took my wife on a ride longer that a half an hour she dozed off. She said she woke up and she didn't know where she was. That kind of freaks me out, what if she jerks her self awake and the bike shakes. Does anyone know if they make seat belts for passengers.

One of my daughters would be asleep within the first 5-10 miles, had to strap her in to the seat so she didn't lean over to far. Was a little afraid she'd fall off.

My wife falls asleep every time we go on a trip longer than a couple of hours.

I think my wife will be a non sleeper, as she like to look too much and take pictures. But she hasn't rode behind for some time so we will see.

Mine nods off, it kind of scared her the first time, she told me she is going to hold on in case she starts to fall off. I told her not to in case she does fall off, wouldn't want to take me with her, it might hurt the bike if neither one of us was on it. I got hit... HARD !
