Do you ever give your bike a hug? Just sqeeze the bike frame with both knees whilst cruising along, its like a fusion between bike and rider which is quite cool.. 8)

    It's not the will to win that matters...everyone has that. It's the will to prepare to win that matters.

    Does it transmit the vibrations up your thighs to a special place?

    That is called 'Objectum-Sexuality'
    There is a woman with the same condition who married the Berlin Wall as she liked tall thin things, apparently the great wall of china was too thick for her.
    When her 'Husband' was pulled down or 'Mutilated' in 1989 she went on to have a relationship with her garden fence...

    What she did to the Eiffel tower was uncalled for!
