steel horse
Biker's mechanical mount
Steel horse is a poetic or colloquial term for a motorcycle, evoking the image of a powerful mechanical mount replacing the flesh-and-blood animal.
The phrase gained wide recognition through the Bon Jovi song "Wanted Dead or Alive": I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride.
Less commonly, it refers to a locomotive or bicycle.
