Some day when you are at the HD shop with her go by the display where the bells are. Most all HD shops have them. Tell her about the legend. When she says "Honey, why don't you just go ahead and get one," then you can tell her that it has to be a gift. This is probably the most manipulation you can do and still get the full effect of the magic.

dang.... Wife doesn't really know any of the "biker" crowd that I hang with... And many of them don't know about the bell either.
I had never heard of it before coming to this forum last year.
Maybe I can ask my wife to get it for my daughter to give to me.... =)

Have one of your buds give her the idea

This may be a silly question... Can you ask someone to get it for you? My wife has no clue about these things.... So... I know I cannot get one myself... but the wife would have no clue to get me one.
I am so screwed. =)

Dude... I tried that when we went and picked up my FXRG... Walked her right past it and I was like, "Aren't those cool?" And she just walked right by and was like... "whatever."
My wife is uber-cool about me being into the Harley thing... but she more or less wants nothing to do with it.

Well, I won't rush out and get rid of my Saint Christopher just yet but Iwill certainly make a point of seeing if the local HD shop has one. Do you think they are available as well at metric stores? Do their gremlins have slanty eyes? What about the **** bikers? Do the gremlins goose step?

My husband has been riding for 20 years and I just found out about the bells this past summer...so I had to get him one! Our kids bought me one for my motorcycle for my birthday.
RE: Getting the bell???
Easiest way to solve the problem of getting one would be to tell your riding buddies about it and then you can all buy them for each other...lol. I am surprised to see so many responded to this post. I thought the lady at work was making it up. Guess I should look forward to her giving me one...a bell that is.

RE: Getting the bell???
Yeah, I had to point out the little description above the bells for my wife to finally get me one. I tried to play it subtle, "Hey babe, read this! Pretty interesting!" Still took her like a year to get me one though. Luckily I didn't have any issues in between!

RE: Getting the bell???
I recently went on a ride with my brother in laws... brother (last Sunday) & his friend. First thing he did is ask if I had a bell? I replied "no.....". Then he said "we have to get you a bell"! Our first stop was Livermore Harley Davidson, where he bought me a bell, and Iinstalled it on the chin spoiler bracket nearest the road. I've heard of this bell thing before... and didn't think much of it. But the tradition is cool, much like the "Harley wave". Feels nice to be part of somthing huge.... like the family of Harley!
