Don't you know gremlins can read. Otherwise they would not know about the gremlin bell story.
I also believe they are the ones who started this web sight.

The guy who gave me my bell turned in front of me last May. Broken Hip and Pelvis. But I lived so maybe it did work.

Lost my bell on a trip dumped the bike before I knew it was gone. A girl that my wife hates bought me one before I got home. LOL
