Yes, It's a gremlin bell. The myth is it protects ...


MYTH!? Don't listen to him John... those things are for REAL but only when used in the proper manner. It works like this: someone has to bring you the bell as a gift. To just go out and buy one won't work. It will hang there but not protect. So, that's the first thing to know about Gremlin (or Spirit) bells. Should someone give you one it's important to hang it in the best possible place on your bike. That place should be as close to the road as possible, 'cause the gremlins are there on the road ready to jump up and mess with you. You see, they can't stand the sound of that bell and when they hear it they run the other way.

One other thing... over time the ring those bells hang from wears out and the dang thing falls right off. At that time it's okay to replace it yourself... only initially is it important a bell as a gift.

This is not the only time I've heard of using bells for protection. For example... many a Shaman will tell you hanging bells on doors, or in the car will keep away evil and devious spirits. I'm sure there are many other related applications out there.

Do they really protect? Hey... I'm living proof!!!
