Western legends on the Iron Horse!

5/28/2016

PictureHoss on a mini!
I'm a big fan of westerns,  from epics like THE BIG COUNTRY with Gregory Peck,  to b-reel programmers like RAWHIDE,  with the baseball legend Lou Gehrig.  TV westerns also get my vote, as well as comic books, novels, and especially the radio dramas,  with classic pieces of Cowboy art like Jimmy Stewart's THE SIX SHOOTER, the class of John Dehner in FRONTIER GENTLEMAN, and the hard-as-nails action of LUKE SLAUGHTER OF TOMBSTONE.   It's all good to me,  and a significant portion of my entertainment time is spent with these goodies.

I also have a (thus far) unrequited passion for the motorcycle.  I love being on the Iron Horse,  and the freedom that one feels comes across as what I imagine a mounted cowboy on the open range felt like...wild and free.  I have yet to get one,  but I hope too soon. 

That said,  and though these fantastic machines could never replace Trigger, Silver, Tony, or any of the other legendary movie cowboy rides,  I present some images of a few legendary movie cowboys on their second horses:  Buck Jones, John Wayne, Ken Maynard, Tom Mix and Roy Rogers.
