Tis not wise to underestimate the power of the bell.

That must be mail order with 20% off, because I can't find that price anywhere.

Really? Gremiln Bells, how childish you all have become.
Myself, good luck charm, a .44 caliber revolver, and it stays with me if I would ever trade a bike in. which I don't.

I have been told the ceremony is very involved...it requires:
Three candles made from elephant ear wax, two quarts of 25 yr old malt liquor, three hairs from a virgin's ****** and a pound of charcoal....

That should go nicely with the liquid cooled crapper that`s now optional on the new touring bikes....

It was a gift from someone special and served me well. It stays with me and goes on the new bike

Mine was a gift also. It was taken off my sporty and put on my limited BEFORE I signed the paperwork while she was still on the showroom floor.

Agreed. When I recently traded my 2010 SG for a 14 SGS I left the bell with the bike. If you believe in the luck, that bell brought me plenty. I left for the next owner to do with as they wish.

It would matter to my wife.

She gave me the bell and from what I understand, it took her quite a while to find just the right one.

IF I ever sell or trade the bike in, the bell is staying with me. Should she get me a new one for a new bike, then the current one will stay in the garage, but otherwise it will be going on any replacement. In any case, it will not go with the bike.
