Default Freedom Bells
Is there a rule to how many you can have on yo bike? An Army buddy of mine got one for me when I first got my SG. My wife found out the meaning of the bells during a visit to the dealer, Not knowing I already had one she purchased one for me. Not wanting to disappoint her, I put that one on too. Well this weekend she bought me an Army bell for my birthday. Do I take off the previous one she purchased, or just add it to the collection? The more Bells the beter the protection?

I have 2 on my bike. One from a friend and one from the wife. I see it as double protection from the gremlins.

Put them all on, that way no one's feelings are hurt. When the wife is around you and your buddies brag about the bells she gave you, make her feel good.

There are no rules. Given from a friend or loved one, I would hang every one. I have several. Even a lady rider one given to my wife who only rides with me two up from a friend of hers. Why not?

Rules??? It's YOUR bike! Do whatever you want to it.

Personally, if somebody went the extra mile to get a bell because they were thinking about me, I'd be honored to hang it on my bike.

I have one from a riding brother and one from Soos. Havn't died since putting both those on so I'm sticking with it.
