Don't feel bad if you don't know, there are even bikers (mostly rookies) that don't know this one.

Don't feel bad if you've never noticed the bells either, the closer they are to the road the better so they're usually kinda hidden. (Can you spot mine?)

Legend says evil road spirits or "gremlins" attach themselves to bikes and cause problems, accidents, mechanical failures and basically just f*** with riders while they're on the road. Attach a guardian bell to your bike though, and the little bastards get trapped inside it. The constant ringing drives them insane, they lose their hold on your scoot and fall off.

Inside tip: Don't let your favorite biker buy their own. The bells are most powerful when they're given as gifts! Barnett Harley - Davidson sells them or, get one online.
