Staying awake on the back

[andrea]

Come one then, i need your best tips for staying awake on the bike on long journeys. Going from Stafford to Weymouth (200 miles) in a couple of hours, and even though ive tried everything I can't get any shut eye

Plus i'm on the back which makes it even easier to fall asleep, as once i'm going there's no stopping me!

Just heading out to Tesco to buy shitloads of pro plus and red bull, any other ideas???

Tell the rider not to ride like a ponce

[andrea]

I was going to share the riding but i cant reach the bars cause of the all the luggage on the tank

Joe, i did suggest that if we did a steady 140 we'd do the journey in half the time that aa route planner has given us, yeah that ought to keep me awake

Just asked the girlfriend for some tips. She's been on the back with me from Cardiff to Skegness (Which is 250 miles) and managed to survive. Here's what she suggests:

- Keep your visor open when you're feeling tired. The blast of air will wake you up (As well as slowly peel the skin from your face)

- Keep yourself occupied. Sing, hum, pull faces at passing cars.

- Buy a Nintendo DS and a copy of Pokemon Pearl. Make sure you attach the DS to your wrist with the provided wrist strap

Why stay awake? When I had my Sprint ST my other half would regularly have a snooze and I wasnt exactly driving miss daisy

Shitloads of relentless -> 2 cans = 1 litre of red-bull like drink and enough to make you shag like a horny rabbit even after a 200 mile ride.

Shaggy - Ben Wa Balls ?

Thanks for the tips Have decided to take my ipod with me and listen to all my heavy stuff, that might work!

Get a top box fitted, a big loop of rope around your waist and the top box. That way you can sleep all you want.

[feef]

get an intercom..

talking to each other is the best way to keep awake, as it keeps the brain occupied.

Music can make you more tired, despite the volume, due to it's rhythmic mature. Try a talking book or some standup comedy to listen to, to keep the brain active, and that will help you stay more alert.

How about good old fashioned self control?

Honestly though, if you don't want to sleep I don't see how you could nod off - especially while on the back of a bike! Do it in 20 mile bursts or something, then stretch your legs etc.

I got a great tip, do the driving after all it is your bike isn't it?

To much luggage on the tank? make him carry it on his back.

Simple, pro-plus

Edit why did I miss that you had already said you was getting pro-plus

Just a theory but...

I reckon you'd have more chance surviving a crash asleep as your muscles will be all relaxed.

But less prone to avoiding the crash in the first place.

Umm.
I've fallen asleep on the back of Dad's Lambretta's many a time, no matter how loud the cuntish thing is.
Your body clings on. in your sleep.

Ain't fallen asleep on the ZX6R yet though, mainly due to the distorted position i sit in, and the grin on my face when it screams it's tits off and hits 150odd mph
