Dont Laugh, but my Mom gave me my first one for a Holiday gift.
She and her old BF were also in Motorcycles and they were the first ones to get one on my Bikes
I put my faith in God as well but my bell has an angel on it. I think of it as a spiritual thing. A symbol along
with the cross I wear around my neck. A reminder to keep in touch with the Big Guy.
By the way an old friend of mind got it for me. It meant allot to receive on from someone.
I hung it down ft on my FLH. Real nice bell.
My wife bought mine for me while we were on Vacation in Flordia while we were still dating. Stopped at one of the HD Dealers and she snuck off and bought it for me, then suprised me with it when we got home.
I recived mine from my girlfriends parents, they both ride and were there when I picked mine up. I just realized last night before heading out on a ride that it is GONE.[:@]
Recently while riding with a friend he asked if we had one on our bike. I told him that we didn't, but that I was going to buy one. He told me the legend of the bell and few days later he stopped and dropped off my first ride bell.
my girl bought me one at a local indy shop we stopped by the other day, she was lookin at a rack of them an read the story posted of what it meant and came up to me joking about it... i was hit by two cagers two weeks ago so she said she should get me one...i juslaughed.next day she came over with a lil box with a bell in it. i went right out an ziptied it on the downtube. shes a keeper.
Got my first one about 4 years ago from a woman I used to work with. She went out to Nevada to visit her sister and went to Vegas HD. Brought me, her brother and b-i-l one back. First time I had ever hear of them. Unfortunately it got crushed when I took it off to switch bikes and left it on the ground last year. Wife bought me another which just got eaten by a speed bump on the way to GBW. Of course she had to get me a new one.
