As the legends of the "Gremlin Bell" goes... All mystical powers of Zen and Karma are rendered null and void if you purchase one for yourself...  These ancient and magical powers will only be activated if someone purchases said "Gremlin Bell" for you... If your friends or loved ones believe you need all the protection you can get tell them to get one of these bells pictured below... If this one doesn't scare the Bee-Jesus outta gremlins then you have more problems than anyone has the power to resolve.

Here's how to deal with this situation....

Scenerio 1: Buying from our store:

Here on our store, when you buy the bell... you are buying it for ME. I, in turn, GIVE you one EXACTLY like it... so all the benefits of the bell remain intact.

Scenerio 2: Buying someplace else:

1) Buy two bells  2) give them to a trusted friend 3) trusted friend gives you one of his two bells. All of the benefits of the bell may NOT remain intact. We have applied for a government grant to study the issue.

Who knows... but any extra luck can't hurt right?  I rely more on my 135db air horns than my gremlin bell but...

It's a tradition with us. Every time you gat a new bike you get a bell.  My son is in the Coast Guard so the last bell I gave him was a "Coasty" bell.

I have one with a soldiers memorial on it. I like the story, and since I should not have walked away from a blast, and have no right to be here today I have to believe someone is watching over me.

  I vote for the return to Paganism...my ancestors would appreciate it. Somewhere on my family tree there is a tenuous connection to Mary Stuart.

I have a gremlin bell my wife gave me.  It doesn't do anything, but it's kinda fun.  It's funny that you mention the religious angle as my bell has a big cross on it.

A weird question maybe..

I think most British people are less religious than Americans, we are a much more cynical race..but how many of you have a riders or gremlin bell fitted to your bike..How many of you actually believe it does something to protect you..and of those that don't believe in it but still have one, can you explain why you have it and if it fell off, would you replace it?

I think everything in the world happens in cycles, climate, inventions, taste in music, or food, these are all wheels within wheels and I think Britian is either heading towards pagan times or because of the population changes towards muslim beliefs..

Most of us don't have ride bells..but I believe in Pinky and the Brain..

Another meaningless post by..

John
