My mom gave me hers when she gave up riding and when I bought my Harley. Holds some sentimental value as well as good luck!!
I love hearing it jingle when i'm riding. I know its working then

My wife gave me one and a riding buddy gave me one so I put them both on and I think it is awesome that someone cares enough for me to do that.

Been riding for around 45 years without a bell... no break downs and never went down...

I'd say its bull$hit....

Though if I ever had one given to me... I'd probably hang it...

Thanks for all the replies. I'm waiting for my Bell but nothing yet.
I guess nobody likes me..
It could be that I look like a Gremlin on my bike and they figure I don't need one..

My wife calls me Mr. Gazoo when I put my helmet on, does that count?



I don't look like this, I'm tough and, and strong and, and, not green..
Geez, I can't win.. Even my smiley's green.. I guess she's right..
