Default 2 Gremlin Bells?

My wife gave me a Gremlin bell years ago. She started riding (as a passenger on my bike) in the last year so and I realized she does not have a bell. Can I give her a bell and have 2 bells on the bike (one for rider and passenger)?

I haven't a clue what the "rule book" says...as I was never given one. I say it's your bike...do what you want and don't worry about what anyone else thinks.

I think that's a cool idea. Why not start a new (maybe) trend?

Have you guys been under a rock? Haven't heard the legend of two bells?
Or was that a joke about 2 *****?
Never mind sorry

I only have one bell which makes me lucky, my wife amazingly enough has one bell too. I do know people that have no bells at all. I got my first bell when the girl at the rally asked if I wanted to buy a bell and I thought it would be cool to be able to say I had 3 and smart because one could go bad. The confusion came from her no enunciating her veils properly.
You know veils...a i, e, o, etc.

Back to the OP question...I don't know and if I did it shouldn't matter John

I would believe that it would be cool to give her one. It has to be given as a gift, you can not buy your own bell.

Someone crrect me if I'm wrong. and I'm sure someone will. But,

The bell is to keep the road gremlins from your bike and prevent you from breaking down.

To keep from crashing you had better stick with Saint Christopher, a rabbit's foot, or your lucky socks...
