New Delhi, Sep 23 - John Abraham's love for bikes is well-known but his lady love, actress Bipasha Basu, doesn't like riding pillion with him for that very reason.

'Bipasha doesn't like sitting on my bike because I am very passionate and possessive about my bike. When she sits, I keep saying 'I hope you don't leave a scratch on the bike and all that', so that's why she prefers a car to sitting behind me in a bike,' John told reporters here during an event.

John will be next seen in 'Hook Ya Crook' and '1-1800 Love'.
