Funny skit on SNL...lame idea on a bike. A bell does nothing to stop a crash...a good rider does!!! Spend time learning to ride and less time mounting stupid bells. ::007::
...and you wonder why I don't come to visit...

Boy, what a bunch of grumpy bikers you are. Now REMember, the little bell thingys are supposed to be a gift from someone else to you, to protect you and keep you safe while riding. Kinda like a St Christopher medal and stuff. It would be rude not to attach it if someone gave it to you. So come on, show a little consideration. No one ever got me one, or even sent me the money to buy one for myself. By the way …. BAH !! HUMBUG !! I'm moving this topic … so there. R ::025:: ::025::

I was in another forum when I rode a cruiser and I had one sent to me from a member in the US. I love it and it always is a talking point. I have also sent bells to fellow riders around the world and would be happy to send to a member here if you were likely to do the same for someone else.

Don't overthink this, it is a great tradition. Great biker spirit.

A few notes; It's a Gremlin Bell. Gremlins hang out in the little hollow spaces of bikes, cause all sorts of mischief; one lost spoke nipple, dead battery, bad light bulbs, lost nuts and bolts... Anyway, they love the hollow space of the bell. When the bell rings it stuns the gremlin and it falls to to ground. That's where pot holes come from, don'tcha know. The bell has greater potency if it's a gift, but you can gift yourself if you've got a Gremlin infestation. I've always thought the headlight housing on these bikes would be a perfect place for Gremlins to hang out, look at all the wire harnesses that have acted up!
O:)
The bell does not make you a better rider, it does not prevent wrecks, it does not improve gas mileage.

Well, thanks for the offers, boys. Mighty kind of you. I was just messin' with you. I'll be fine. I'll tie a little bag of moose pellets on the back seat and that should do me. Maybe if I had gotten my wife something for OUR 45th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY last month, I'd be wearing one now instead of this holy T shirt. Jeeze, I told her she could stay for another year. Sometimes I'm a bad dog. Thanks again. R ::020::
