RE: Ride bells

I have one it was given to me by a friend of my wifes. She gets one for everyone that gets a new bike that she knows.

I am not superstitous. I believe more in being prepared for anything and everything. But hey it is tradition So It hangs from the bike. I have noticed a problem. My pipes are not loud enough and I can here the bell sometimes when I ride. I guess I had better get some louder pipes before the bell drives me insane.[sm=badbadbad.gif]

RE: Ride bells

Yep, tradition and luck. My wife gave it to me. It's a copy of the Liberty bell hanging from lower right foot peg. Says "Ride Free"

RE: Ride bells

I have one!!!! The couple I bought my ride from went thru this LONG speech about it when the gave it to me! I had one on my Volusia, and when I sold it I forgot to tell the guy about it. A couple of day later he sent me an email asking me about it. So I gave him the LONG speech about it, he thought it was the cooliest thing ever!!!!

Got One!

My sister-in-law gave me one for my Deuce last night on Christmas Eve. Tradition and good luck are pretty good reasons to accept one and hang it on your ride.
