• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Where is your Gremlin Bell located?

Gremlin bell

How about a sasquatch bell! I have a friend with a Haeley who has a cow bell hanging from his trailer hitch.:yikes:
 
Finally installed my Gremlin Bell yesterday :thumbup:


I chose to put it on one of the passenger footrests. This way if the Gremlins happen to fill up the bell (since I'm sure I'll attract them lol) and they work their way up onto the bike...perhaps when they climb up they'll make their way onto the passenger and I could just kick off the passenger to get rid of them! :thumbup:



....of course my wife won't like this idea. LOL

Good thinking! :thumbup:
The Navigator should ALWAYS empty the Gremlin Bell of collected trouble, before the start of any ride! ;)

I just attached mine today, it's on the left side, on the handlebar near the grip. I am new at this so I didn't know the proper placement. :shocked:

Thats where I put mine, too, so I can watch the gremlins drop out. I actually had two mounted low, but, lost them to speed bumps at work.
 
Still in the little red bag that it came in when given to me by one of our Harley riding friends. It seems to work best when not attached to any of our bikes.

Hmmm....this is an interesting thread. I don't have one... but if i did, is there a specific location the bell must be installed?
 
I never heard of a Gremlin. Is it suppose to bring you luck or protect you? Why does someone have to give you one? What ever happen to Saint Christopher other then they too away his Sainthood. It is all predestined. What ever will be will be and understanding why is not at my grade level. We will know some day but not now.

Many years ago, on a cold December night, a crusty old biker was returning from a trip to Mexico with his saddlebags filled with toys and other assorted trinkets for the kids at a group home near where he worked.

As he rode along that night thinking how lucky he had been in life, having a loving riding partner that understood his need to roam the highways and to his trusty old pan that hadn’t let him down once in the many years they had shared the road together.

Well about 40 miles north of the border, in the high desert, lurked a small group of notorious little critters known as road gremlins. You know, the ones who always leave little obstacles like, one shoe, boards, and pieces of old tires on the road, and also dig those dreaded potholes for bikers to run over and crash, thus giving the road gremlins a chance to rejoice over their acts of evil.

Well, as the lone wolf of a biker rounded a curve that moonlit night, the gremlins ambushed him, causing him to crash to the asphalt and skid before coming to a stop next to one of his saddlebags that had broken free. As he lay there, unable to move, the road gremlins made their way towards him. Well, this biker, not being one to give up, started throwing things at the gremlins as they approached him. Finally, with nothing else to throw but a bell, he started ringing it in hopes to scare off the dirty little gremlins.

About a half a mile away, camped in the desert, were two bikers sitting around the campfire talking about their day’s ride, and the freedom of the wind blowing in their faces as they rode across this vast country. In the stillness of the night air they heard what sounded to them like church bells ringing, and upon investigating, found the old biker lying along the roadside with the gremlins about to get him. Needless to say, being part of the biker brotherhood, they preceded to ward off the gremlins until the last ran off into the night.

Being grateful to the two bikers, the old road dog offered to pay them for their help, but as all true bikers do, they refused to accept any type of payment from him. Not being one to let a good deed go unnoticed, the old biker cut two pieces of leather from his saddlebags tassels and tied a bell to each one. He then placed them on each of the biker’s motorcycles, as near to the ground as possible. The tired, old road warrior then told the two travelers that with those bells placed on their bikes, they would be protected from the road gremlins and that if ever in trouble, just ring the bell and a fellow biker will come to their aid.

So, whenever you see a biker with a bell, you know that he has been blessed with the most important thing in life — friendship from a fellow biker.
