Aww come on’ Ramona it is like one of the safest thing you can have between your legs now days.

I was thinking that the kinda horse power you preferred was horses!

Horses…of course…but a little Iron in your diet does wonders.

Skye August 9, 2010 at 11:30 am

Oo… pretty but a little too scary for me… I’m not a motorcycle gal.

I LOVE that Iron Horse!!! Love riding on the back of one…wind in my hair and feeling free as a bird…

I’m the lone ranger on mine…notice the solo seat.

Kari Anne August 10, 2010 at 5:27 am

He hasn’t given me permission to be at the bars yet…but i’m working on him… ;) And, I plan to have my own one day…and believe me…I will be the lone rangerette on it!

Ramona August 9, 2010 at 9:56 am

That’s one of those things, I like to look at but don’t care to be on. Mainly, cause of the idiots on the road who don’t think they have to share it.

The Urban Cowboy August 9, 2010 at 10:32 am

Yes, there are a lot of those out there…idiots, I was even hit by “hit and run” driver once. He was caught two years later.

Ha…The Mistress, I bet he’s been having a blast.

CityMom2 August 9, 2010 at 1:13 pm

You have a good sense of humor.

The Urban Cowboy August 9, 2010 at 1:20 pm

Shhh… ;)

Shelle-BlokThoughts August 9, 2010 at 10:41 am

I just love horses… iron… real… whatever. I’m scared of all though. I know I know… I don’t understand it either.

The Urban Cowboy August 9, 2010 at 10:45 am

Hi Shelle, have you ridden before? The real thing, or iron? Both are powerful and need to be treated with respect, but nothing beats em, IMHO.

Shelle-BlokThoughts August 9, 2010 at 11:17 am

I use to ride bareback with my Grandpa, but he raised race horses so he had to be there the whole time just in case.

I rode once with a friend also, but she screamed when the horse got antsy and we got bucked off? Or whatever it is when one second you are on the horse and the other you are on the ground.

I bet @ the respect.

No @ motorcycles… never really been on one, that I can remember. But that doesn’t mean that much.

The Urban Cowboy August 9, 2010 at 11:30 am

Yep, sounds like you were thrown for sure. Bareback…that is difficult…I have been thrown riding bareback many a time, but that was due to me climbing blue mountains at the time. :)

See, you’re a cowgirl and you didn’t even know it.

Shelle-BlokThoughts August 11, 2010 at 12:02 pm

Ummmmm yea, we were just on a straight ol’ road and freaked. Go figure… we were like 10.

I wish I was a cowgirl… they rock.

Jessica @ One Shiny Star August 9, 2010 at 10:51 am

Oooooh sexy! lol. I’m scared of them though, I’ve known too many people whose lives were ended on those Iron Horses. :(

The Urban Cowboy August 9, 2010 at 10:53 am

Yea, I don’t do much riding Iron, it’s set up for short jaunts…I don’t do the long hauls on a bike.

Julliette O (LarvK) August 9, 2010 at 11:21 am

Excuse me kind Sir…Urban Cowboy could you give a lady a ride on that exquisite piece of machine?? :)

If I’m ever back down south you got my word…anything for Space Cowgirl!

TechnoBabe August 9, 2010 at 11:39 am

Nice bike, cowboy. I used to have my own but it was a very small Harley. My sweet hubby is the first relationship without a motorcycle. And he is worth it. Smile.

The Urban Cowboy August 9, 2010 at 11:43 am

The bike don’t make the man, Techno…plus a good man is funner to ride {for women} than any bike, any ole day…{did I just say that outloud?}

KLZ August 9, 2010 at 1:58 pm

That is a beautiful bike you’ve got there. Nicely made.

Reply

The Urban Cowboy August 9, 2010 at 2:35 pm

Thanks, took me a year to get it the way I wanted.

Dina @ 4 Lettre Words August 9, 2010 at 1:59 pm

LOVE it! Can’t let my hubby see it, tho. He’ll start his I-wanna-motorcycle tirade. (I wanna bigger house!)

Reply

The Urban Cowboy August 9, 2010 at 2:37 pm

Ha, yea, right? You’ll just have to keep him distracted whenever he starts going down that road.

Gucci Mama August 9, 2010 at 2:34 pm

I’ve always wanted to go for a motorcycle ride. Never have. Someday, perhaps.

Reply

The Urban Cowboy August 9, 2010 at 2:38 pm

Hey Gucci, I imagine you would rather be shuttled around in some sort of European, sports car…not the back of a Harley, on the fender to boot!

Gucci Mama August 9, 2010 at 2:39 pm

Perhaps you don’t know me as well as you think, Cowboy. ;)

Reply

The Urban Cowboy August 9, 2010 at 2:43 pm

Hm, I think you’re a vampire lover…right?

Gucci Mama August 9, 2010 at 2:46 pm

Nope, not a vampire fan.

I don’t exactly mind being bitten though…

ann August 9, 2010 at 2:40 pm

Very nice.

Is it yours???

The Urban Cowboy August 9, 2010 at 3:40 pm

Purchased in 2004, it took me a little over a year to get it just the way I wanted…I also did the work myself, including engine work. YEP!

Talon August 9, 2010 at 8:41 pm

Oh, that looks like a seriously fun ride! And when you meet the right lady you can easily make that into a bike built for two, right? :)

Reply

The Urban Cowboy August 10, 2010 at 5:12 am

I could, for the right lady… :)

Maggie August 9, 2010 at 9:55 pm

I would like to cruise around on that! :D

Amber August 10, 2010 at 1:51 am

Oooooh….SEXY!!

I can see why this took you so long to perfect. It is a gorgeous piece of work!

The Urban Cowboy August 10, 2010 at 5:17 am

Thanks, Amber…I was also left with quite a few extra parts that I tried and didn’t like.

Nothing sexier than a Cowboy and his horse…

Patti August 10, 2010 at 6:21 am

She’s a beauty, but not my cup of tea. Too many vicious iron rhinoceros out there on the highway carelessly goring the iron horses. I’ve lost two acquaintances to their attacks.

Stay safe, Cowboy.

I know what you mean, I have had my share of close calls.

Oh, it’s beautiful! I bet a lot of blood, sweat, and tears are in there!

It’s been a while since my boyfriend broke out his Harley. Perfect weather to do so too.

The Urban Cowboy August 10, 2010 at 2:02 pm

Sounds like a ride is in the near future.

grey horse matters August 10, 2010 at 9:51 am

Nice ride. My son-in-law would love it. He has one similar to yours, and just as shiny and well taken care of. He rides solo too. Have fun on the open road.

The Urban Cowboy August 10, 2010 at 2:03 pm

Hi ya, grey horse! Nice to see you in these parts. :)

Megan (Best of Fates) August 10, 2010 at 12:10 pm

I admit – the skull on the side frightens me just a little.

Clearly I’m not wild enough for the Iron Horse!

Your place sounds like it would be an awesome ride.

Beautiful bike! I think she needs to be taken out. :)

Jennifer August 11, 2010 at 1:56 pm

She is pretty! If you are ever riding out in my part of the woods, we could go for a ride- I don’t need a seat- I have my own bike. Hopefully you could keep up! Haha!!

Right on, Jennifer…I also thought you were a little on the wild side. ;)

My first girlfriend in high school had a “bike”…a rice burner, but a bike none the less…Mother was appalled! Part of the allure I’m sure. She went on to become a career Marine, a General no less!

Hmmmmm.

The Urban Cowboy August 13, 2010 at 5:46 pm

Right on! I started on a dirt bike in my teens, went on to have various rice burners, then my Harley.

Roxane August 13, 2010 at 11:42 pm

I don’t mind the fender if you don’t mind the drawl ;)

Totally kidding. Well, mostly.

May I just add… “It’s all the same…only the names’ll change…”. Sorry, saw it up there somewhere and now it’s stuck in my head.

The Urban Cowboy August 15, 2010 at 11:51 am

Wouldn’t have it any other way {drawl}! ;)
