Gremlin bells

[mfletch69]

BORREC kindly gave me a bell after our NAFO ride. Installed and seems to be working really well!

Stupid thread of the year award??

Could be. It has been over a year since the 2007 Stupidest thread was started....

Wow, extra points for cross thread humor. Even more points for diggin' that deep to come up with that thread.

Oh, and thanks, asshole!

:****:

I have one for each of my motorcycles, The one on my FJR hangs next to the licsense plate at the very rear of the scooter so when the grimlins fall off, they can't catch me to get back on! :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

:yahoo: They work!!!! Just as I put my bell on my kickstarter lever came off. The bolt holding it on was stolen by a gremlin. So you see without the gremlin bell I would have been riding and it would have fell off then and caused a bit of a mess or at least have been lost on the road. Pics to come Couger. And thats at half strength since I couldn't convince the wife to give me one! Have to put it on the FJR now.

 

[raclow]

Have one. My wife gave it to me.

Don't have the Gremlin Bell, but I have a little toy dog that basically goes wherever the bike goes. Same thing.

 

[fjrchooser]

Maybe you should find another place to tie his leash then ! :lol:

I had one on my bikes up until I got the Triumph Rocket III.

Well, I had it on that bike at first also..............

One day, just a few days after getting the bike, I'm riding down the road and POP!

I feel this thump under the seat----What the ??????????

Somehow, the tire grabbed the bell and flung it into the rear fender causing a dent from below. :angry:

Still have the dent,,,,,,,,,never had another bell.

 

[artistic rider]

Just when you thought this topic was dead!

Hey cougar. Here is the gremlin bell pcis I promised to post. Here is the ural. Its been hanging in there a few weeks now. And the kick starter lever has remained attached.

And here is the FJR. Now I'm covered on both bikes! :clapping:

Damn these pictures are big. How do you make 'em smaller? :blink:

 

[cougar8000]

Thanks Victor. Isn't it a bit low? I have hanged mine under the top rack, but even there the clapper was taken out

 

[artistic rider]

The bell on the FJR it might be. I will probably locate it on the sidestand. But I thought it has to be low so the gremlins don't mess with anything on thier way up to the bell.

Just curious how many of you ride with them. Since you can't buy them or install them yourself (cancels the juju) how did you get them? Should be safe to ask since its past Friday.

Edit: Upon further research I found you can install them yourself. It just doubles the power when given to you.

Generally speaking, It's my belief that's all superstitious bullshit. Hanging a trinket from a bike is not going to keep some fookstick from fooking you up. Juju?...horse shit...karma?...horse shit again! So we have bull and horse shit to consider. Hmm....Maybe riding through a pile of that stuff will keep all the bad spirits away....and everyone else! Go for it if it makes you feel warm and fuzzy.

Sighs. Another non-believer. I don't know cougar. Looks like there are only a few of us left to save this dull planet.
