Default Guardian Bells for the bike or rider?

I don't want this to become a thread on if you believe they work or not so lets not go there.

But, if you have a bell on a bike should you keep it or should it go with the bike?

Goes with the bike.

If I ever sell mine (which I hope to God I never have to), someone is getting a surprise when they see my pierced **** and *****.

Yeah, I said it.

Took mine off but it was a totaled bike. If I sold it outright I might have left it on. Gonna put it on the new bike when I get it.

Nobody loves me enought to give me a bell, so I don't know if I would keep it or not.

My thoughts are that the bell was given by a close friend to keep YOU safe, ta hell with the bike, the jui jui is only good for the person it was given to, not any future rider of the bike. jmho.

You sure you want to do that , it might be defective if it allowed that bike to be totaled lol

Only other reason if it holds real strong sentimental value but I would Replace it with new one on the Bike before taking that one off. This way yo would also be giving the New Owner their Bell. I guess what I'm saying is if the Bike has a bell and has done good for you it should leave with A bell.

Bought a bike last fall
Pulled the motor and found a bell wedged between the frame and inner primary. Bell was pounded to ****, and is creepy looking.

Do not like this bell, and would like to dispose of it.....without creating bad karma. Ideas welcome, thanks.....

Mine were all given to me not the bike. I would suspect that the person that gifted it would think that it would be applied to the next bike. That's why all my bikes have two to three bells on each one.

Two of them were from some good looking young ladies. I just could not part with them.

But, if you leave the bell on the bike, you are in essence giving it to the next owner so no harm no foul.

that's what I thought too. I kept mine when I sold my Fatboy and put in on my RK.
