Bell (not helmet)

[Pat Kelly]

I've seen on several bikes a bell under the front of the frame.
I seem to remember reading that this is a "Spirit Bell" to keep the rider safe (or something like that).
I also think this bell had to be given to the rider/bike and not bought by the owner.

Can anyone tell me if this is correct or not?

Gremlin Bell

You are correct Pat. The bell keeps the road gremlins away. Must have been a guift from someone to work and insure that that the gremlins do not get you.

I didn't get one. I was thinking of getting one for my Wife (a great-big cow bell).

cow bell

if you do that you might take the chance of having the emergency room doctor ask you " just how did you get that xs1100 exhaust pipe stuck in your ass anyway?"

That would be difficult to explain.
"Well ya see doc, my wife she got mad at me over..."

Not where we work. We both work in the ER at the same hospital. Besides, she thinks she's a cowgirl. She dresses in western wear all the time.

I've got a gremlin bell on MIYAMI. Since I've put it on, I havn't had any gremlins reaking havoc on my bike. My next trip through Iowa, I'll be stopping in DesMoines to pick up a set of bulls nuts and hanging them on the back of the bike as well. This is to let the world know that this bikes got balls. I've found them else where but am a cheap bastard and don't want to spend the extra $5.00 plus shipping.
