previous owner bell dangling from bike



Theres a little bell hangin off the lowest section of my bike. Its about the size of a small Christmas tree ornament.

Ive seen other scooters with similer...

Is this a fad or ??????

there's a long and sorted backgroundto this bell thing. i think it started in sturgis a long time ago. now days its for good luck and keeps away the damned road gemlins. if it's one of those org. sturgis bells it could be worth a few bucks

bell

thanks

Legend has it that a small bell attached to your motorcycle, close to the ground, catches the Evil Road Spirits. The Little Gremlins live on your motorcycle causing all kinds of mechanical problems. The cavity of the bell attracts these Evil Spirits, but the constant ringing drives them insane and they lose their grip and fall to the ground.

(Have you ever wondered where pot holes come from?)

A short version of the story I found.

they really do exist

bell and bike gremlins

Well they must have extremely sensitive ears for that particuler frequency otherwise the little b@stards wont hear the bell over my Vance & Hines exhaust.

Just what I need....more hobgoblins tryin to ruin my day....

dang afn might have been me I got a bull hauler bell on my hitch it goes from vehicle to vehicle, works rather well just have to find some thing to keep the cops off my tail, and I'll have it made

are they not road gemlins:gah:

I dont mind the cops on my tail.
I just want them OUT OF MY WALLET
Why is it in some states we dont have to wear a helmet but in ALL states we have a mandatory seat belt law.
I'm not arguing that if one intends to drive aggressively he should protect himself with a helmet &/or a seat belt.. But making it MANDATORY & turning it into another source of revenue is a complete injustice & Socialisim in the making..
I wish there was someplace to go to lobby against this seat belt crap!

OK OK If you wanna argue that forcing tax paying, reasonable & prudent adults wear a seat belt or helmet for their own safety is valid..
..Then why not just outlaw motorcycles .....after all , they are inherently unsafe considering other drivers.....
Any body follow my reasoning or am I the only one that makes any sense.......

I'm tired of being taxed to the max. I have over ten years in Law Enforcement & have worked eough wrecks to be familier with high speed auto injuries.
smoking is unsafe yet they ( big brother) dont outlaw it . They Tax the sale of cig's
Drinking is unhealthy - - not outlawed -Taxed & regulated
Dont look now but we fixing to be taxed on our so-called carbon footprint

" Hey honey, what does it cost to exhale this month" :gah:

Hope they keep those kinda regulations on that side of the atlantic
In fact {sarcastically} while we'ere thinking about it...Its a wonder they (big brother) havent outlawed the evil Harley Davidson by now anyway....
Its 100 year old arcane technology...LOUD,....of no benefit to society...
Owning our beloved hogs doesnt feed the poor & doesnt educate the uneducated...Its a vicious, evil machine designed for hedonistic pleasure ( & increasing mechanical aptitude) LOL

Have bell

I have a bell on mine. Keeps away the gremlins and the flashing blue lights away (so far).

another very important reason for load pipes, they're too load to allow road gremlins to get up the pipes into the engine and cause hard to explain engine damage:devil:

Hey Mike, do you use Exxon gas? I thought their slogan was put a tiger IN your tank, not ON your tank.
