If your GF, spouse, kids, parents or a friend gives you one, just be respectful and put it on.

I have two from two hot looking bikers girls on the Kawasaki forum. The bells have been installed. The HD dealer gives me one every time I buy a bike. My wife gave me one.

My big bad Harley's go ding a ling all the way down the road.

My parents bought me a bell and a little angel that attached to the handlebar. Figure they can't hurt so they've been on the bike for 11k now.
