Live to Ride Gremlin Bell

[BSJ]

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?)

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.

Unbelievable- there's a whole website devoted to these ridiculous things.

Can't you just have your bike blessed like everybody else?

I think of it as extra insurance!

I shouldn't judge- I've still got that red-and-white string tied around my steering stem.

i got my bike blessed by the monks too.

i think enough for thailand. i dont think so gremlins can make it in the mansoon here:)

I have a few things hanging off my bikes too my GF even paid money to some dude to write something on the bikes with dirty water and tie more strings and plants around the frame. They are still hanging there.

Thai's are a superstitious lot. When we bought the new Kubota last year it got the blessing from the monk.

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.

Cheers for that BSJ...I was wondering what I could get her for Christmas...I'll let you know how she gets on with the Kubota

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.

When I read the title of this thread I thought "Live to Ride Gremlin" was a new helmet in Bell's range....

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.
