Default is it love?

Okay, so you are all glad you have a 'Harley'.......so am I, but I have feelings for this bike that , well, I'm not sure are normal.
Not exactly love..........but close to it.
Do you all have this feeling toward your cycle.........do I need therapy?

I don't see a problem here that requires therapy,but do remember exhaust pipes do get hot so leave the love of your life aloneuntil the motor's had time to cool down after getting back from a ride.[sm=icon_quiet.gif]

You need to watch Woody Allen's movie, "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex."

I don't know if it's love... but my wife sure is jealous of her.

It's not just love.

It's part love, part lust.

I'm horny.

What you mean it’s not just a hunk of metal….not just a machine?

Yea, I know what you mean too. For me, it's not love exactly ... although I love riding...The effect it has on me is really kinda hard to explain. It relaxes and exhilarates me at the same time. When I've been on the road for a while, I find I can think... I mean really think. My head clears, my heart rate lowers, I relax, and really 'get into it'. It's also a very spiritual place for me. My happy place!

Yup, pretty normal, Rainmaker!
What you need to do is get a therapist who rides and you will end up being convinced that you are completely sane! and, probably gain a new riding buddy, too.
