BSJ Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Where can I get one of these? Legend has it that a small bell attached to your motorcycle, close to the ground, catches the Evil Road Spirits. The Little Gremlins live on your motorcycle causing all kinds of mechanical problems. The cavity of the bell attracts these Evil Spirits, but the constant ringing drives them insane and they lose their grip and fall to the ground. (Have you ever wondered where pot holes come from?)

moe666 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I want one too, nothing like those bike gremlins to screw up a good day. Every once in a while I do sprinkle my scooter with holy water just to be safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BSJ Posted October 6, 2013 Author Share Posted October 6, 2013 Thai's are a superstitious lot. When we bought the new Kubota last year it got the blessing from the monk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BSJ Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 The wife had her Mio blessed and then got knocked off by a falling palm fond about a week later...think insurance works better Can't happen on the Kubota as there is a ROPS bar fitted and a roof. But you can have a roof fitted to your Mio if falling palm fronds are a problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shurup Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I love the axles on this lille tractor, the same type was/is used on Merc. Unimog Trucks - great offroad machines for how much ground clearance they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USA! A mate gave me one he brought over with him. It stayed on for about 6 months, then the pot-holes took their toll. Or Maybe I met some strong Gremlins?????? I think the origins come from WW2 pilots, then taken onto their bikes. Edited October 12, 2013 by DILLIGAD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
