Maybe, just maybe, **** happens...
I'm with you you. I'm thinking **** happens no bell or with bell, but with me the bell didn't work!

What if nobody loves you? Can you buy it for yourself and it still works?

Absolutely-- it's in the fine print at the bottom of the "Official Origin of the tradition, End User License Agreement, and nontransferable Mojo contract" thats in every one of the little baggies they give you when you buy the bell...
At least it was when I bought mine for myself.

I think it's kinda like the leper's bell. Warning folks that stuff might drop off randomly at any moment!

I agree (just don't let him know - he's got a big enough ego already ). I think I'll keep him another 31 years.

line of people who ARE..... I'm just not one........... my .02...... hdman

Gremlin bells are just neat. My wife (who does not ride - solo or with me) gave me a Vietnam Veterans bell. It is on my scooter and I will keep it should I ever trade or sell.
