• 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.

Place the Bell

People have diffrent names for them, Angle bells, Guardian bells, its where a loved one give you a small bell to hang on your bike. Where is a good place to hang one on my RT?
 
I have two in the front attached to the A-Arms, and another two hanging on small eyebolts that I installed beneath the floorboards. It's not that I'm uber superstitious; four different people gave me gremlin bells, and I feel obligated to use them.

The "rules" say as low as possible on the bike.

Me: currently--one hanging from the shifter mechanism on both RT's. Another one hanging from the A arm on Linda's RT.

Past: Hung from the buckles on the leather saddlebags.

So far they have worked, all except for the encounter with the big dog. He lost and the machine received a couple K in front end damage. It got fixed perfect though and one would never know. :yes:

I thought that if you already had ONE Gremlin Bell & got given any more, you HAD to pass it forward by gifting the extras to someone else or you'd destroy the protection you already had!!! ie; One is good, but more than one is worse than none!! :yikes:


Obviously that can't be the case tho Pam, since you seem to be going OK. :thumbup:

Share the wealth with those less fortunate, like if I had 6 ears of corn and could only eat 2. Now there's an obligation
we can all get behind. Of course with all the "engine rattle/ noise " posts lately, it may just add to the racket.
 
​I'm wondering if I'm facing doom and gloom: the clapper in my bell is gone!
JMO, but I would say that a gone clapper is definitely worse than a black cat crossing the road ahead. I would proceed with caution until you can replace the clapper. ;)
