...bizarre....(sleeping biker)

[gettin2dizzy]

There's a guy outside my office window asleep on what looks like a Busa! Hunched over the tank in full gear + helmet! I work right next to the ferry terminal so I presume he's waiting for one. Nutter! Anyone else do this?! Im sure I'd tip over!

(if anyone is getting the ferry from North Shields/Newcastle let me know - I'll smuggle out a coffee for you ;))

I crashed out on a BMW K75 at a service station. 2 hours asleep and I didn't fall off.

I've also slept on a CB500, Bandit 650S, BMW R850R, Fazer 600.

Something to do with doing a squillion miles a week as a courier. It knackers you out! :D

[RhythmJunkie]

I fell asleep on a loaded up CG125 at Fort William. Slept for about 1hour solid after a 10 hour none stopper from Derbyshire! Didn't fall off. My son on the other hand has fallen out of his bunk bed on several occasions yet none of us can work out how its happening, it looks impossible. I'd better warn him about bikes then!

[plowsie]

I've done it riding along crouched in on the motorway, i actually poo-d myself, whilst parked up i do it alot, i'm a dodgy sleeper i go whenever wake up dodgy time then go back for a bit. I did it on way to GP i was really early getting to Bham so i slept at the petrol station on the bike geared up :D Its quite comfy.

I've done it on mine, easier with a tankbag to cuddle... Not very comfy though, usually I'd just have a kip on the ground. Bike gear means any surface is comfy, back protectors are great for this :) When I was waiting to do my bike test, steve the instructor was in with the other trainee... He came out to make sure I wasn't stressed out, and found me having a kip beside the bikes :smt003

Ditto mate, i'd been riding for 6 hours non stop minus a couple of fuel stops. One second i was in the outside lane doing about 95, then the next i was in the inside lane doing about 70!!! Luckily it was about 4 in the morning! Very scary indeed.

A leaf out of Ted Simon's book. I remember him sticking the Triumph on the centrestand and strapping the umbrella over him so he could sleep in the saddle.

You sure he's asleep? Anyone checked for a pulse?

[gettin2dizzy]

he's gone now - as I popped down to get a photo!
Do you not just rock over to the right and fall off?!

[SoulKiss]

If he's dead, bagsies on his bike :)

I have nearlly wrote a car off in the past falling asleep behind the wheel......ashamed to admit it though. I had been awake 36 hours and risked a long drive.....BIG MISTAKE

TIREDNESS KILLS....never ever think it wont happen to you.

Luckily it was at 5am and no one else was on the road, but I could have killed my missus in the passenger seat.

[Bear]

Yep, woke up @ 90 on the M1 before. Not a nice experience...

[G]

I woke up going sideways at 80mph after hitting the central reservation. Managed to control it and get it to the side of the road.

[the white rabbit]

I've done it on the GS waiting for someone from 11pm until 3am with a tarp over me. Real fun.

[Warthog]

I woke up at 70 on the motorway.



Trouble was, I'd gone to sleep in my bed :lol:

I pulled onto the hard shoulder and stopped straight away, pulled the water outta my backpack squirted my face and took a quick pace to the next services where i fully loaded with 3 cans of red bull :D

Dont kid yourself, this really doesnt work either, as I found out.

It gives you a buzz for a short while, but then as soon as it starts to wear off even slightly...........BAM your a sleep without even knowing it.:nomore: Infact it makes matters worse as when the time comes you dont even feel your eyes and head going.



The only cure when your tired and can feel your eyes dropping even slightly is to pull over and have 30 minutes or more. works wonders.

a) make my millions, and
b) help mankind

Yeah Yeah very funny, the point I was trying to make was that you should sleep not fu ck around trying to kid yourself that drinking a caffiene drink and having a mars bar is gonna help :clown: :rolleyes:

[muffles]

Heheh, no offence intended, just chuckled at the way you said 'works wonders' like it was a big discovery (as in, what did you expect it to do ;) ) :D I knew what you meant though! :smt003

Well it does for me [-( plus it was only 30 miles to Brum which was where i was going to and then i had a kip some munch and a coffee so was all good :D So Red Bull did work for me then, thank you and good night :D

[TEC]

... thank you and good night :D..... Today, 04:22 PM
Wow you're an early to bed type ;)

Slept a few time on different bikes over the years, no fun sleeping head to handlebars end though, nearly always get that annoying filler bit stuck in my back :( Head on tank bag thats on pillion seat, very comfy :)

[dizzyblonde]

do it regularly on the way home from work, after 12 hours on nights. Same traffic lights everytime. They stay at red for my liking too long. Think its cause on weekend its always dead at 8 am. monday morning rush hour is hard on the noggin. Sometimes I feel like i've sat there so long i may be dreaming and expect somebody behind me to come and give me a shove

[Wideboy]

how about under the bike?

i managed to fall asleep under me sr after tinkering into the small hours:flower:

[dizzyblonde]

now im indoors does that, few beeers, tinkering away( after all the YPVS or some bikes in his living room at some point)next minute he finds it 4am or something

My mate just got a Busa so I'll have to ask just for the record.

Don't know when I'll be at the little ferry, don't do it too much I do the tunnel but will be going to Amsterdam in Sept, can you take a coffee to the DFDS terminal :smt003

Doh! That's me going cross eyed. I thought it read South Shields to Newcastle and thought car ferry. Which is the one with the wavey roof?

Not the most exciting bikes ;)
