Tiggie Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Was reminded of this story while listening to radio today, I'll post a link along with an excerpt https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-42267790 Shortly after moving to the UK from Canada, Jackie was lodging with an elderly woman."One morning she asked, 'Where did you go last night?'" Jackie says.Jackie said she had not gone anywhere."Well, you went out on your motorbike," the landlady replied.Jackie was shocked. She immediately asked if she had been wearing her helmet."Oh yes, you clomped down the stairs and you had your helmet and you went out," the landlady said, adding that she had been gone for about 20 minutes.Jackie had no recollection of her moonlit ride because she was asleep at the time. And there were no other clues to indicate she had been out, as she had returned the motorbike to exactly the same place it had been before.

Tiggie Posted June 24, 2020 Author Share Posted June 24, 2020 Not good! I've always thought it would be really hard to fall asleep while riding, certainly more so than in a car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiggie Posted June 24, 2020 Author Share Posted June 24, 2020 A friend at works husband once went to 24hr petrol station at 2am and bought £10 worth of petrol and a load of sweets Only found out when he got in his car to go to work and saw chocolate bars on passenger seat!! They couldn't work it out at all until they put two and two together after seeing charges on bank statement along with footage from their ring doorbell of him going out and coming back 10 minutes later Apparently his mum said he used to sleep walk all the time as a kid.
