Thats how I feel too.

I'd never heard of the Bell thing until I a got my bike and a friend came to look at it and I saw his. That's when he told me all about it. So my wife bought me a USMC one.

What's the bell for? I use my horn and people get the hell out of my way. That or they hear me coming first because I'm on a Harley in a sea of cars and rubbish Italian scooters.

Gremlins? What - these?

If you believe in the luck or not really isn't the issue, it is a tradition that is older than some on this forum, it is a way for a friend or loved one to show kindness and that they care for you and wish you safe rides ahead and by placing it on your beloved cycle you honor the person that gave it to you.

I think God would like that..

There are 2 holes on the bottom but i believe they are for the engine guards which we are going to install in a few days.

Thanks for your help.

You could always mount it to one of her nipple rings!
