Gremlin Bell Question...
If you buy a bike and they leave the bell on it - what is the rule of thumb? Do I leave it on it (as a gift) or do I take it off and wait on someone to give me one or do I take mine off my other bike and put it on?
I know that it is a "belief or superstition" thing - so I am not asking for debate on "do they work" or do you believe" - I am just asking the "way it works question" - if you dont know, and want to be a smart butt - Please, dont answer on this thread, start your own.
Thanks!

If it was on the bike when ya bought it, its not a gift and it won't be effective. The H-D guy is not a friend. He is a salesman. The Gremlins know this and will plague you.
Take it off and wait for a friend to give you one.

Ok here is what you have to do. Kill 3 chickens collect the blood and soak the Harley in the blood. Then as the harley is dripping in chicken blood, spin around in place 4 times while patting your head and rubbing your stomach in a counter clockwise rotation, while saying I am not a poser I am not a poser I am not a poser....lol

Good question. I look at it this way, keep the bell and when a friend buys you one put it on as well. Then you will have two bells, twice the protection right? I don't think there is a rule on how many bells you can have. You never know you might start a new fad. Multiple bells.

I removed mine from my other bike and put it on my new bike.

My bike had one when I got it. I took it off and replaced it with one a friend gave me. The old one is now an ornament for the Christmas tree.
I plan on leaving mine one when the bike goes and start over with a fresh bell.
