Well, actually, I'm not entirely kidding - one of our wedding presents back
in 1999 was some Velcro (white, of course) to stick the Lovely Ballast onto
the pillion!
You must be more of a gentleman than I am. I find the best response to
getting a helmet CLUNK in the middle of the back is to whack the pillion's
leg hard. Anyway, she has a sort of self-preservation thing where if she
wakes up as she's sliding off the side of the seat, she gets enough of a
fright to stay wide awake for at least another ten minutes!
Actually, she normally only falls asleep on straight roads so I just let her
doze until the next corner, or if a parking area comes first, we'll stop and
do some jumping jack exercises. They're good for cold feet and stiff legs
too. So if you ever pass a rest area where two people in bike gear are
jumping around chanting a Chinese nursery rhyme, you know who it is...
