Today I was in the car and saw this dude riding a cruiser of some sort. My wife pointed out that there was this little bell hanging directly under the engine.

I wanted to catch him at the light and ask him WTF? but didn't manage.

So anyone know why???

good luck, supposedly its good luck to have a bell on the bike. but you cant buy one and stick it on, has to be given to you from another biker to have the good luck effect. so i was told one time.

He probably just ran over a cat.

Not only is it for good luck,but will protect the rider from road gremlins. surf to this web site and it will explain it further......http://gremlinbells.com/

oh well i guess im screwed because i cut the little bell off the bottom of mine. it was cracked anyway.

Thanks for the answers.

Never been one to believe in such hocus pocus, but to each their own.

Meow.

Don't mind him. Everyone has their own style. Maybe it was also his way of driving away bad sprits on the motorcycle. But it sure is a worry to his safety.

I've heard them called Karma bells not gremlin bells. Same general effect though.

I've heard them called Guardian Bells.....
