Okay I have a few problems with your story.
1) "having a loving riding partner that understood his need to roam the highways"
My wife doesn't understand anything about me, biking or roaming. Maybe that's just my bitch though.
2) "to his trusty old pan that hadnt let him down once in the many years they had shared the road together"
Yeah, Panheads have never let anybody broke down on the side of the road, have they.
3) "upon investigating, found the old biker lying along the roadside with the gremlins about to get him"
Okay now this blows the theory that the bell will ward off the Gremlins. It didn't bother them in this story, just the two bikers that was gonna kick their a$$es. So now your telling me my bell doesn't do anything??????? WTF
I may not believe in the bells, but I do carry one (held on by a leather teather) that my sister-in-law gave me. Tradition is tradition.

Texas Fat Boy So now your telling me my bell doesn't do anything??????? WTF
Texas Fat Boy: The legend quoted by JohnnyBoy was the begining of the Guardian Boy Legend. i.e. they weren't Guardian Bells until the "crusty old biker" started the tradition.

Come on, do I have to say when I'm being a smart **** around here?
It's a freakin' bull crap tradition. I'm not against stupid traditions, but just don't tell me this sh%t works.
