    What kind of love do you have for your bike?

    Classically, there are six different kinds of love. They all have Greek names:

    • * Eros is love of ideal beauty, a passionate physical and emotional love based on an appreciation of beauty, from which the modern idea of romantic love derives. The attraction on which it is based usually fades with time

    • * Storge is love as friendship. It is an affectionate love that slowly develops from friendship, based strong companionship and shared values. Storgic lovers want their partner to also be their best friend, and this friendship can survive the breakdown of the partnership

    • * Ludus is love as a game where conquest is the goal, but from there another conquest is the next goal as there is little intimacy or deep intensity, and little effort to make a longer commitment

    • * Agape is dutiful, selfless love such as a mother for her child, a love of giving without asking anything in return. They view their partners as blessings and want to take care of them. They are often spiritual or religious people

    • * Pragma is realistic, practical logical love. The type of love which can go out looking for a partner based on a shopping list of requirements, which can be a bit unemotional

    • * Mania is obsessive and highly volatile love fuelled by low self-esteem. It is troubled love with dependence on the other person, great intensity and jealousy, and is accompanied by the most chemical changes in the body which can make the person unable to work or study properly

    Hell no! I my baby to bits!!! I am at my total happiest when out on the open road with her!!! on a beautiful day, with the warm breeze in my face, the sweet smell of silage wafting, the bugs splattering my visor, feeling the bike move beneath me, rolling into sweeping corners, hearing the motor purr, all the while filling up my tanks.. god, there's nothing else on Earth that beats that for me! I give her a cuddle each time when I get home! my bike is my soul!

    I love my bike, in the sense that someone may love a work of art, or their favourite piece of literature, or a particular location in the countryside.

    I think it's natural to develop a certain kind of emotional attachment to inanimate things that give us pleasure.
    kiwibiker is full of love, an disrespect.
