Yeah (to most) the bell's are just a little fun cheap humor
that goes along with it all. We don't expect you all to get it.

I wanted one and so did my buddy. We both bought one and gave them to each other. If you talk about how well they work, you will jinx yoursrselves. Suffice It to say---"I like mine"😉

Have you ever seen a Gremlin (not AMC) while riding with a bell? OK then.
Follow the rules.
Can't buy your own, has to come from someone who cares about you.
Mount as close to the road as possible, as Gremlins are hard of hearing.
Check it when you wash to make sure it rings, if you can't hear it, they can't.

Yes all mine have bells and when I sell one the Bell stays with me. I have one that I know is 15+ years old.

I can't say that they do or do not work. All I can say is I have the bell my sister pulled off her own bike years ago and put on my bike. Had some close calls with wildlife and cagers over the years. The bell has been on every Harley I've owned.

Nobody ever bought me one..(could be a hint) and I've never had an accident, and I don't ride easy! Every once in awhile now a friend will offer to get me one but I don't want to be jinxed now so I turn it down.

But all the lore behind them is great!
