Have you ever seen and wondered why there is a bell hanging from motorcycles?

I thought that everyone knew why, but after getting asked the same thing from a few defferant people, i just felt the need to pass this on…..hope it helps.

The bell story

There are many stories about the Ride Bell. Here’s one: Have you noticed that small bell on some people’s bikes and wondered why it was there? It’s more than just decoration. It has a specific function. As we all know, life has many mysteries that have no apparent solutions. One of these is Evil Road Spirits. They are the little gremlins that live on your bike. They love to ride. They’re also responsible for most of your bike’s problems. Sometimes your turn signal refuses to work, or the battery goes dead, the clutch needs adjustment, or any of several hundred other things go wrong. These problems are caused by Evil Road Spirits. Road Spirits can’t live in the presence of a bell. They get trapped in the hollow of the bell. Among other things, their hearing is extremely sensitive. The constant ringing and confined space of the bell drives them crazy. They lose their grip and eventually fall to the roadway. (Have you ever wondered how potholes are formed?) The bell has served its purpose. If your bell was given to you, its power is greatly increased, and you know that somewhere you have a special friend helping to look after you. So, if you have a friend that doesn’t have a bell, why not be the person to give them one? It’s a nice feeling for the recipient to know you personally cared. The bell, plus a good preventive maintenance program by the bike’s owner, will help eliminate the Evil Road Spirits.
