Generally when I purchase a new vehicle, I always find a do-dad or something to add to make it mine. I never really thought of this as a good luck charm, just a way of adding personality. My car and truck each have something small and unique I added shortly after buying them new, and both have been working trouble free for years.
What got me thinking about this "Talisman" was the fact I owned 4 motorcycles over the past 3 years. I don't count the used one, cause it already had personality. Had an '09 DR650 for a few months till a car decided she wanted to drive over us. Had an '09 BMW for 1 year until it was repurchased as a lemon. The common thing both bikes had? I never added a do-dad or "Talisman" to either one. My only bike left has had one since right after I brought it home.
I bring you Popeye cause, "I Yam what I Yam".
**And sorry I don't count the mass produced "Guardian" bells. It can't unique if everyone has one.
