I bought my bike and it had a bell on it already
So I consider that one a gift from the previous owner. The bikes never been down it's whole life. I have another I got as a gift. I'm running both. Never had any issues with this bike. Never laid it down Nothing in 20k miles. 10 of it in 5 months. 90% of it on crowded CA freeways at 75-85 MPH average. rain, wind, no matter. I've laid down several bikes (been riding 40yrs) and not one of those bikes had a bell. Superstition or not.........the bells stay. Superstition is one thing, tempting fate is another....I ain't taking it off. Besides they look cool right where they are. |

Maybe. Maybe not. As I was looking at my 1986 Honda Rebel to find a spot to install the bell I got for Christmas, I noticed a missing nut from the rear brake stay. Talk about an "oh sh!t" moment. I chalk that one up to the bell.
When I sold that bike, I left it on it. I didn't tell the new owner about it, until a few weeks later when he asked me about it. Of course, now I'm bell-less.

Look close and you'll see one on Tammy's bike.
What? The sound of my exhaust does that job.

I have one that the guy who got me into riding bought me. I'm not buying into the superstition thing, but I do like hearing it when the wind gusts. Makes me smile. But then again, I really like the sound of windchimes and the guy who gave it to me.
