Does your wife/gf fall asleep on your bike.

The lovely Mrs Slapp and I took a trip to Ohio to visit some old friends about 900 miles each way as I was riding I noticed every now and then the bike would kind of jerk to the left or right...I just thought it was the road and kept riding. Pretty soon it was happening more and more (on the road for about 7 hours now) so I stopped at rest area and ate a snack used the restrooms and then started checking the bike over (Road King) for anything that could cause it to jerk around. After finding nothing we got back on the bike and continued the journey. At first no problems then about 30 minutes in to the ride it started again. I found a Dealer and pulled off the highway and checked the bike in. There was a hotel right across the street from the dealer so we called it a day. About 10am the next morning the dealer said they could find nothing wrong with the bike and that as far as they knew the bike was safe to ride. So off we went and all was well for about 3 hours then the jerk stated again. As I looked over my shoulder to complain to the lovely Mrs Slapp about the performance of this fairly new Road King.... I discovered the source of the jerking! There she was doing the head nod. Every time she would start to fall asleep her head would bob to the left or right and she would jerk her head back up thereby creating the bike to jerk back and forth.
Needless to say to this day it is still a funny story between us. I solved the problem for future rides by getting her, her own bike. She has now moved up to a Heritage which she claims is the easiest bike she has ever ridden.

Well.... I just scanned over every post. I have somehow not gotten around to this thread prior. I though maybe it was one of those isolated cases of Narcolepsy which I've read about.
But most of these appear to be normal (albeit sleepy) folks. Those Tourpaks must be awful comfortable. And fortunately they must kinda wrap around ya and just hug ya in there.
Glad no one was hurt.
