I was bs'n w/ a co-worker the other day that rides a metric and realized he had never been informed of Road Gremlins. He has experienced them but knew nothing of the protective measures a bell provides.
Have you noticed that some riders have a small bell hanging off their motorcycle frame or handlebars? Have you wondered what the purpose is? Well, you have come to the right place. That little bell is more than decoration, it serves a very important purpose – it wards off gremlins, also known as evil road spirits.
You see, there are motorcycle gremlins that LOVE to ride, but they are also mischievous little devils and they cause all sorts of problems for you while you are riding. Some say they are responsible for that old lady in the minivan not seeing you and cutting you off in traffic. Or, you may be having trouble shifting smoothly, your battery goes dead, your turn signal suddenly refuses to work, an oil spill appears out of nowhere, you hit a patch of black ice, etc – you get the idea. Those little gremlins look for trouble and try to steer your bike towards it.
Now, once you get a bell on your scoot – it wards off these attacks from the little gremlins, not allowing any more to get onto your bike. If you already have some gremlins riding with you, they will get trapped in the hollow of the bell, and the constant ringing will drive them insane – causing them to lose their grip and fall to the roadway.
Do you have the protection of a gremlin bell? If you buy a gremlin bell of your own, the power works. If you receive the gremlin bell as a gift – the powerful magic of the bell is doubled. Do you have a friend who does not have a gremlin bell yet? Why not be the person to give them one, they'll thank you! The bell, and a good preventive maintenance program by the bike's owner, will help eliminate the gremlins.
Needless to say I had to correct this situation and he is now protected from the Gremlins
I've actually got two. My pops gave me a beautiful US Army bell but my husband's blesses my scoot daily
Yeah it's a rose ... kinda girly I know ... but it was from Simon so it's special
Simon's is a POW/MIA bell. He rides every day with his brothers from the past who can no longer travel with him.
Who gave you your bell? What is the special meaning behind it? Or are you not riding protected
