My wife can fall asleep in the car, almost before we're in top gear! Nothing to do with being tired or bored, she just relaxes and switches off. Takes her a little longer when on the bike.....

Bungee nets are the ticket. 6 points of contact and multiple holes for her arms to stick out!

ebay knock off tour pack works well.

GF's in the past would fall asleep on the softail. Only had a pad like your SG and had a couple close calls like you. No close calls with the tour pack.

I rode out to Napa two weeks ago, Busters BBQ!

my gf doses off a lot. I can always feel her leaning against me. The "Dead weight" is a sure giveaway shes sleeping. I have to grab her leg to get her awake. Its dangerous..but it happens more than you think. Im sure a tourpack would help...

Between the tour pack curve holding her, and my fat *** pushing back into her, she stays put.

The give-away in my experience is the occasional light tap on the back of my helmet!

Put her on her own bike. Dozing off will then be her responsibility.

My wife will occasionally doze off. I have always wondered if it might be a problem. Its good to know they have that much confidence in us as riders. The last thing I could do as a passenger would be sleep!

My wife used to occasionally fall asleep on the back. Until one day she found me asleep on the front.

She now keeps both eyes open and on me all the time.
