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  Shrug

Door bells attract salesmen and religious types

Do any of the bells actually keep the LEO's away???  Cop bells??  Headscratch

Need to be given to you as a gift, or it's just a little bell.

a guy at work had a fairly serious crash a couple months ago. he was not wearing a helmet and suffered a head injury. he came in today and said he was getting a bell. i was all proud of him until i realized that he wasn't talking about a bell helmet.

Well, you know I'm not particularly superstiscious, but since i got my bike I always thought those little "gremlin" bells were sorta neat looking and so I looked and looked and finally found one I liked for my bike. I figured since I collect angels, I found one with an angel on it, then I heard they are supposed to be given to you as a gift and hanging close to the ground to be most effective at collecting the "road gremlins" to protect you on the road. So, I guess it's just a little dangling bell hanging on the hook on my saddle bag. BTW: They are supposed to be open bottom bell shaped with the little "clanger" to surprise the gremlins and collect them.

Official Patron saint of motorcyclists:


Quote
The Patron Saint Of Motorcycling
The Vatican has officially endorsed an early Irish saint, Columbanus of Bobbio, as the patron saint of motorcyclists. He was born on the Carlow/Wicklow border in the year 543 ad, and died at the monastery he founded in Bobbio, in what is now Northern Italy in 615 AD, after many years of traveling around Europe. His bones still lie interred in his church there.

A handsome rugged kind of chap, he left Ireland to escape the clutches of lascivious women who were irresistibly attracted to him. According to the biography of his life written by Jonas, one of the many miracles attributed to him involved the multiplication of bread and beer, as follows:

"A while after, Columban went to the monastery of Fontaines and found sixty brethren hoeing the ground and preparing the fields for the future crop. When he saw them breaking up the clods with great labor, he said, "May the Lord prepare for you a feast, my brethren." Hearing this the attendant said, "Father, believe me, we have only two loaves and a very little beer." Columban answered, "Go and bring those." The attendant went quickly and brought the two loaves and a little beer. Columban, raising his eyes to heaven, said, "Christ Jesus, only hope of the world, do Thou, who from five loaves satisfied five thousand men in the wilderness, multiply these loaves and this drink." Wonderful faith! All were satisfied and each one drank as much as he wished. The servant carried back twice as much in fragments and twice the amount of drink. And so he knew that faith is more deserving of the divine gifts than despair, which is wont to diminish even what one has."

His Feast day is the 23rd November


So our patron saint is a beer-drinking Irishman who runs away form the bitches, but never goes hungry.

OK nice tale,
  Running away from the the fairer sex  EEK!  OK maybe Gay?? But then again he was a holy roller so maybe the sence of reality was a bit off (as with most who devote their lives to a deity)
  Unending Bear and Bread Thumbsup  OK this guy rocks (even if he was a bit crazy)  Not sure what constitutes as a saint but heck if this guy could call forth unending beer & bread I would ride with him any day  Bigok well as long as he did not start preaching.
