With panniers and top-box in place it takes a considerable effort for Susie
to dismount.  In fact mounting and dismounting cannot be done from the
ground, she has to use the footpeg and hang on to my shoulder to get on and
off the bike (hence I have to have my feet very firmly planted on the
ground).  Thus, once in position I don't think she could fall off if she
tried.  However, she only tends to doze off when we are flying straight and
level(ish) and she still maintains her grip on the 'pillion pal' even when
asleep (same sort of grip as she maintains on my cheque book ;-) ).
