    A buddy of mine is a big Harley fan and he has a big beautiful bike, not sure what model, but it's a gorgeous machine. All chrome and matte black. I was looking at it one day and noticed a little brass bell hanging down and asked him if that was the motorcycle equivalent of a testicle. That's when I learned about 'gremlin bells'.

    AKA Guardian Angel and or Spirit bells to keep you safe while riding, just another thing that's cool about biker culture, and yes our bikes have them...

    My brother gifted me my Gremlin bell the day I bought my Fatboy. Must be a good one. I have had it twelve years and still riding shiny side up.

    Must be a Harley thing, my 86 Beemer doesn't have one.

    First I have heard of this. Admitted I have not ridden in about 10 or 12 years . Is it a regional or just a Harley thing .?

    here did gremlin bells come from?


    In a use similar to that of a dead bell at funerals, a "Guardian Bell" or "Gremlin Bell" was sometimes used byΒ British and American pilots in World War II, to ward off "gremlins". When the American pilots returned home many of them continued its use as a protection charm when riding a motorcycle.

    If you can hear those bells on a Harley, you've got some damn good ears. πŸ˜‰

    Thinking about putting one of those bells on my KIA automobile. The roads around here have been a crap shoot for close calls during our tourist season lately!!

    Believe it or not, I can here mine if I turn my head sideways to look back. The first time I heard it, I thought something was wrong with the bike. I pulled over and couldn't hear it anymore. When I pulled up to the club house, one of the guys mentioned that he could here my bells coming up the driveway. He said I sounded like Santa Claus. πŸ˜‚. I responded, well I am, I brought you a fifth of Jack, and handed it to him. πŸ˜‰

    Sure couldn't hurt and at least in Walmart you wouldn't stand out as 'that weird dude with a bell'.

    In Walmart, you may just be one of many. 😯

    Walmart is where you go to see what has happened to humanity.

    I stand corrected. You are 100% right. I was told it was a Harley thing many years ago. I'm going to put my new bell, on my Goldwing. Thanks for the correction.😊. Oak
