of course they work. i'm certain i read some scientific study by Al Gore, the inventor of the Internet, that their powers are true. I have one on both bikes, and didn't get killed last time I rode, so must be true?

ORIGINAL: Streetrunner

I have my reservations. I had a bell, got into an accident and spent a month in the hospital. The ironic thing is that while I was lying in the street I looked to my side and there was the bell laying right beside me. Maybe it saved my from death or a more serious permanant typeinjury or maybe it didn't work at all.
It depends on your perspective.
That's the thing, if you did die would you be here to tell us that they didn't work?

They only work if given to you as a gift.
I prefer the air horn upgrade!

I thought it was an alarm. Everytime I lay it into a right turn it jingles so I
assumed it was some kind of warning.

Sure they do. Tied mine on above the front fender on the light bar. Every once in a while I would hear the ding. Turned out to be my shocks bottoming out and the bell hitting my fender and leaving scratches.

Later, Rick
