Default Guardian/ Gremlin Bell

Any of you ride with one. Is there a swap thread anywhere or can we start it here? My FXRS is lacking one.

On this page, a sticky thread at the top..."Don't Have A Gremlin Bell". Post there. Sometimes someone will make a offer.

best way to get one is to swing by a motorcycle junk yard, they are full of wrecked bikes that have guardian/gremlin bells...might find a deer whistle while you are at it. for the price of a couple of gremlin bells, you could buy a ride-like-a-pro video and pass that around to your friends.

But....

Simply buying the vids won't help you either... however if you practice what they instruct, and have constant situational awareness, your odds of survival will increase significantly.

A "tinkin' bell" won't do you any good...

For the last friggin time...it is to protect the bike from breaking down not to protect your inept asses from hurting yourself. Geeze!

This is how I got mine. I bought and had it shipped to her and she reciprocated. We agreed to this through that sticky thread.

Another thing I did was buy a bell at a dealership and carried it until I noticed a bike in a group I rode with didn't have one. I left the bell on his seat when nobody else was looking. I know some people say "the magic" of the bell doesn't work unless you get yours from a loved one. I personally don't believe in "the magic" of it, but like the tradition of receiving a bell for your bike. My bike wears one proudly, thanks to that sticky thread.
