Gremlin bells?

oldnslow

It's a way of life!
A few of my cruiser bike buddies have little bells on the under carriage of their bikes. They say it 'scares off evil spirits and gremlins'...Any one else partake of this custom?
 
I take full responsibility for the function of my motorbike. As such, I have no need for silly superstition.
 
the girl at the checkout counter at the local Honda/Kawasaki/Suzuki/Yamaha dealer tried to get me to buy one for my bike... I told her, "We BMW riders don't' put such petty things on our German engineers works of art!" :)
 
Just one more silly custom by the "loud pipes save lives" bunch..... right up there with "frilly" lever covers, ape hangers and fingerless gloves...not to mention the ubiquitous bandana in lieu of a helmet.

The "look" reigns supreme in that world. :thumb

Funny stuff!!
 
You better believe my Gremlin bell lives on whichever RED bike I'm riding.

David Hough gave it to me :groovy

I always thought they were the motorcycle equivelent of the rubber strap my father dragged behind his trucks 'to reduce static electricity from building up".
 
I thought the tradition was that you couldn't buy one for yourself...they had to be given to you.

None for me, thank you!!
