Siter, I was thinking I found this posted here, maybe it was another mc list.



Legend has it that Evil Road Spirits have been latching themselves on to
motorcycles for as long as there have been bikes on the road. These Evil Road
Spirits are responsible for mechanical problems and bad luck along a journey.

Legend goes on to say that by attaching a small bell onto your bike, the Evil
Road Spirits will become trapped inside the bell where the constant ringing
drives them insane, making them lose their grip until they fall to the ground.
(Ever wonder where potholes come from?)

Legend also has it that the mystery of the GuardianĀ® Bell carries twice as much
power when it is purchased by a friend or loved one and given as a gift.

Show someone how much you care. Offer them defense against the Evil Road
Spirits! Give a GuardianĀ® Bell and share the Legend of Good Luck it offers to a
motorcycle and its rider!

A guy I know recently got a brand new Harley Road King with one of those. After he got thru poking fun at my 750, I told him that Hondas didn't usually break, and even if they did, we wouldn't
be blaming it on "evil spirits", so we don't need to wear bells ;D
