Who bought you your first RIDING BELL?
(Taken from Ronster's earlier post, Thank You Ronster!)
I've been riding for quite a few years and remember years ago learning about the "riding bell".
I never bought myself a bell and just forgotten about it.
Well, last trip to Sturgis, a couple I had just met that made the trip with us noticed I did not have a bell and bought me a beautiful bell in downtown Sturgis!! I am now friends with that couple (Matt and Janice) to this day and we play a weekly poker game together now with some other friends.
I'm sure that bell only cost them a couple of bucks BUT,,,
IT MEANT SO MUCH TO ME!
I now have lifelong friends because two people decided to spend a couple of bucks thinking of ME.
Was out riding today and stopped by the local dealership. I remembered my best friend (who rides a Goldwing and I am still trying to fix THAT) had put a bell on his bike himself. Cheap ugly thing too!
Well, I had my daughter (he's an uncle to her) pick one out. We rode to his house and presented him with it.
He was almost in tears. He must have spent a half hour trying to figure out where and how to place it.
Best 9 bucks I ever spent!!
WHERE AND HOW DID YOU GET YOUR FIRST BELL?

As It was told to me, you had to have your bell GIVEN to you.
Is this right?
Ive been riding for over ten years, still bell-less[&:]

Mine was given to me as a Christmas gift by my significant other, Diane. It's of celtic design too - she did great picking it out.

Wife gave me my orginal one which I saved, then when I bought my new one she got me two more. She got me one for Fire and one for Police since I do both.
