Acutally I have a story about this ..I know the bell is meant to keep the gremlins away .. but a lot of riders seem to thing its a good luck thing as well .. last year when we where in Laconia a friend of mine saw the bell and asked what it was .. I explained and when we stopped in at a dealer I picked one up for him .. 2 weeks later he and his girlfriend and another rider where involved in an accident .. drunk driver took them out in a curve ... killing the other rider and seriously injuring my bud and his old lady . they both spent 3 months in the hospital .. we he came out we went to visit him at home and he tells me .. you know the bell didnt work .. to witch I replied ... yes It did ..you are still here arent you ..
I guess it all depends on how you look at it ...

We have three bikes in the family, and all three have gremlin bells. Given to us by our dealer.

What do you do if you get MORE than one bell as a gift? Is there bad MoJo for not putting them ALL on your ride?

Picture it, eh? <grin>
