Default Little bell under the bike

My good lady wife gave me a tiny little bell that she says must be given to you and is to be hung under the bike to ward off the road demons. Any of you ever hear of this?

Since most of time I need all the help I can get, I've hung it down there with a little leather strap.

I know of doing it, because my dealer told us about it while my wife was looking at jewelry, but I've never heard the "story" behind it. What is it?
Pat, Thanks for sharing with us what you prob. thought was something new and a good idea. Sharing things like this is what makes this a great forum.

O.K. The bell, road spirits live in the hollow of the bell. The road spirits get trapped in the hollow and fall out when times are bad. They can not live when the bell is ringing.

O.K. I'm an veteran of a Christian religious cult, so if you want to get into serious religious crap, I'm up for most arguments.

That's just a silly superstition. Every body knows the only real way to ward off the road demons is to have a troll doll riding with you!

one was given to me the day I took delivery of my scoot- put it on and have never taken it off. Being an inexperienced rider, I need all the help I can get from whatever diretion it comes from.
