11/20/2013 Paul ties a gremlin bell on my ride

Today, my friend Paul, who I've done 2 long distance trips with tied a gremlin bell on my ride.  Paul is a very skilled rider who has probably ridden a couple million miles in his day.  He knows how to drive; but, he chooses his BMW LT 1200 over a car every time.  So, it's an honor to have Paul tie my bell on.  If you don't know the story, here it is, cut from the pages of www.gremlinbells.com.

Have you noticed that some riders have a small bell hanging off their motorcycle frame or handlebars?  Have you wondered what the purpose is?  That little bell is more than decoration, it serves a very important purpose – it wards off gremlins, also known as evil road spirits.  

You see, there are motorcycle gremlins that LOVE to ride, but they are also mischievous little devils and they cause all sorts of problems for you while you are riding.  Some say they are responsible for that old lady in the minivan not seeing you and cutting you off in traffic.  Or, you may be having trouble shifting smoothly, your battery goes dead, your turn signal suddenly refuses to work, an oil spill appears out of nowhere, you hit a patch of black ice, etc – you get the idea.  Those little gremlins look for trouble and try to steer your bike towards it. 

Now, once you get a bell on your scoot – it wards off these attacks from the little gremlins, not allowing any more to get onto your bike.  If you already have some gremlins riding with you, they will get trapped in the hollow of the bell, and the constant ringing will drive them insane – causing them to lose their grip and fall to the roadway. 

Do you have the protection of a gremlin bell?
