Sometimes "they" do get even. They're happy now. Go and procure another one.They'll leave you alone for awhile.

I've got mine hanging in the center under the engine on one of these:



No matter how much I lean it stays up. But with it down that low it does catch a speed bump once in a while...and those are everywhere here.

Edit add: Tough to see, but here's how mine hangs:

Yeppers I have one,,, but if anyone thinks it will save U from any thing,, Welll I don't agree with that......

nothing wrong with having one,,I just don't put my faith in it... there is one who is above it and all things.

Yep, mine is AWOL too. The leather tie that held it on is still intact but the bell is no longer present. Went missing a couple months ago. I am not crazy about riding without one, but I gotta feel the wind, ya know? Hope to recieve another someday...
