Learn me up on M/C bells.
Aka bike bells
Aka biker bells
Aka gremlin bells
Aka guardian bells
Aka spirit bells
Aka legend bells
Also; do they need to be 'bell' shaped or can they be round like sleigh-bells?
Thanks

They must have open bottoms or you will trap all the road gremlins.

They only work against road-gremlins when combined with handlebar-end tassles.

If the bell is given to you, its gremlin catching power is doubled...

Cow bells will attract cows
Deer bells (think sleigh bells) will attract small dwarfs that make toys along with a fat guy who likes kids, thus attracting children and other nefarious types.
Biker bell attract drunks with slow bikes, and the superstitious
Church bells attract crazy people (but that is a different forum please forgive)
Gremlin bells??? guess they attract gremlins
Door bells attract salesmen and religious types
Do any of the bells actually keep the LEO's away??? Cop bells??

Donut bell
Come to think of it, wouldn't that call them just like a lunch bell??
THen again ringing it might just make the LEO think there is a sale going on at Crispy Cream and leave me alone as the thought of a glazed gut bomb takes over the conscious mind. Anyone up for trying this out?

Some people in Hernando MS hang bull balls off the back - I guess for good luck. I can't think of any other reason.
If you look at them the right way - they look like bells. My daughter thought they were bells and I didn't feel I should correct her.
She was talking about a truck but I'm sure someone has tried it on a bike.

Pin one to your fake bandana head wrap, or secure one to your wallet chain. Only put one on your bike if the bell is chrome, so it'll match.

They work best when used in conjunction with deer whistles.

Yes, that and a stars and stripes dew-rag, you know, to complete the full jabroni look.
