son got me a guardian bell. nothing else

 

The bike itself is my good luck charm

 

My wife and mother-in-law each got me a bell that hang on the bike, but more importantly a good friend gave me a simple Jesus Saves cross on my first cross country ride, I never leave without it.

 

I have a 'standard issue' ride bell, sterling silver, American flag (IMAGINE that?), but under the headlight.
THAT'S because the one you can see, YES, that BIG azzed one, was given to me by my Dad, when I came home from the service, in '77.
He rode flatties in the 30's and early 40's. He was in the Messenger service, in the Army, during WW2, European theater. When he had the second 45 disappear from underneath him, and he was still alive, he switched to the tank destroyer battallion.

Everytime the pan fires up, and rolls down the road, he's hangin' on, for dear life, and AWAY WE GO!!

I also have a 'leftover' ball bearing in the front tool bag, that came out of a bearing on an old IH Farmall. That's been in my pocket, or tool bag, since the mid 70's, also.

 

a St. Christopher medallion given to me by my mother.

 

ACE of spades on the bike somwhere all the time

 

nope, none

 

Came out of a wally world store I'd just found to have a 'motorcycle' section in, to see some dickcheese had cut the zip-tie that was holding my guardian bell on the bottom of my bike and stole the bell. How's that for luck? If I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all.

 

A little bit maybe.


I carry a pair of dice in one of my jacket pockets, it seems to be working for about 30 years. 'Roll em' & Roll on'.

 

I used to keep lucky charms on my bike, until I realized that someone's always after them.
