I stopped into my local dealer yesterday, and there was a guy standing at the parts counter with spurs on. Found it kind of strange.
Ya I see a few of thos fellas seems like everyweekend.

Here in Ft Worth TX, you get a lot of thos types wearing spurs for no apparent reason. I just cant see needing to "spur" my ultra along down the trail <shrug> think of the scracthes.....

Down in the stock yards, north of town .. you'll see a lot of wanna be cowboys, wearing ther spurs in the bars, and restaraunts.

but anybody whose lived around here very long knows..... REAL cowboys, take ther spurs OFF when ther putting ther horses out and ther saddle an tac in the barn ...

99%r



Real cowboys wear tennis shoes. They don't want to be mistaken for a truck driver.

Poser... All day long.
I have 2 sets of spurs that girls bought for me back inmy barhopping days. Never have
worn them. I dont even wear them when riding a horse, much less going dancing or riding my bike
I have a friend who occassionally wears a single spur. It's sharpened to a point. I seriously doubt you have the ***** to call him a poser to his face. I know some others who also wear/carry some strange stuff. They also all wear a diamond with 1% in the middle...

My son used to wear one spur when he was roping. He had a horse that had a tendency to drift away from cattle, and he wore the spur on the oposite side of the drift to hold the horse where he wanted it.

Wearing a spur on a bike was a trend a few years ago and to me it screamed POSER more than a dresser on a trailer, fingerless gloves, assless chaps and all the other stereotypes anyone could ever come up with.

Maybe he couldn't afford a Stage 1 and thought he would try a little spurring to get some extra zip.

Ithought you wore leather shorts with your leather boots and a HD t-shirt with the sleeves and neck cut off.

Oh, don't forget the shaved legs and the liquid tan!

Hmmm. I think I'll go down to the stock yards here in OKC and get me a custom pair of silver spurs for my riding boots. If you add Jingle Bob's is that gay?

I would never call anyone a poser to thier face. It has nothing to do with *****, I would consider it rude. I was answering a post as to whats with the spurs. I would just think it whenI saw your "badass" friend. Or if I felt in the mood ask him what does the spur mean. You think I would not have the ***** to do that either?
