Default Guardian Bell


Wondering if any of you guys hang a guardian bell off your bike? I know a lot of cruisers hang a bell.. well so do I. Not too much of the superstitious type of guy, but if that baby saves my life i'll hang three off it.

A few years back I bought a bike from a guy and he had tribal type beads hanging off the triple tree. I asked what it was for and he said good luck.

If you have a symbol of a "guardian" over your bike, what is it? Whats it mean to you?

I gave one to Oreo, and he did the same for me... We both have them hung on the right rear spool.

Although neither of us is superstitious, we see it more as a reminder to be careful out there, as we have friends and family at home waiting for us to come home safe.

Legend has it that Evil Road Spirits have been latching themselves on to motorcycles for as long as there have been bikes on the road. These Evil Road Spirits are responsible for mechanical problems and bad luck along a journey.


Legend goes on to say that by attaching a small bell onto your bike, the Evil Road Spirits will become trapped inside the bell where the constant ringing drives them insane, making them lose their grip until they fall to the ground. (Ever wonder where potholes come from?)


Legend also has it that the mystery of the Guardian Bell carries twice as much power when it is purchased by a friend or loved one and given as a gift.


Show someone how much you care. Offer them defense against the Evil Road Spirits! Give a Guardian™ Bell and share the Legend of Good Luck it offers to a motorcycle and its rider!

Nice explanation on the bell, BTW.
