One of the Harley guys I ride with got me one. At first I had it down in one of the holes for a engine guard. I have to ride a total of 2.5 miles &nbsp\\;down a gravel road every time I ride, so I moved it up to the handlebars right next to the speedo. You cant see it very good, but I know it's there...

Wife bought mine too.&nbsp\\; I have it tied with the leather tie it came with and I doubled up some safety wire&nbsp\\;to ensure it stays there.&nbsp\\; And like others have done it's also mounted on the frame behind the front tire on the lower front cross bar which has a few holes to tie it to.&nbsp\\; I expect the leather tie to eventually wear through thus the safety wire&nbsp\\;as a backup.&nbsp\\; So if it&nbsp\\;goes missing it some SOB with a&nbsp\\;pair of&nbsp\\;wire cutters had a need to steal it.

He sold a bell to his own wife for $10? Huh?
&nbsp\\;
He must be a lawyer!&nbsp\\;Supposedly the bell should be given as a gift, but he bought his own. His wife buying it from him meant SHE bought it, and then gave it to him as a gift! And he pockets the $10 bucks! If he's not a lawyer he SHOULD BE!
Just a bunch of superstitious mumbo jumbo anyway...but here's mine!

Little kids over here have no respect for people's property ....If you try to put them right they'll be shouting "Human Rights" and then you're the bad guy.

They can't shout nearly as loud if they're busy spitting teeth out.

Maybe, but.......I gave one to a friend, and fellow Sporty rider about 18 months ago.&nbsp\\; He recently traded his Sporty for a Buell.&nbsp\\; I asked him if he needed a new Bell.&nbsp\\; He said, he took the one I gave him off the Sporty, but hadn't found a place to attach the Bell to the Buell yet.&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
He was killed on that Buell about an hour and a half after that phone conversation.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
Make your own conclusions about that.
