Like some one posted above I have not received on as of yet but while looking to the hole thin about the bell I found this Written by Andy at Babe's Biker Form. Polishing the Bell, Washed my scoot today, Shined the chrome real well. A few miles of these desert roads makes her look like hell. Startin'at the front wheel work back toward the rear, and end the job with a tradition, My hart holds very dear. Mangin'from my left swingarm, Is a little plain brass bell. Not a shiny chrome one, like those rally venders sell. It's not there to scare away Some nasty "highway ghost". And it's not there for "good luck" Though I probably need that most. But on wash day when I finish up, And I'm polishing that bell, It's to honor and remember, Afriend who fell. It's hangin'from the swingarm, Not the peg or triple tree, So when I'm toolin'down the road, He's still ridin'therewith me. I think back to the road trips, And the good times that we had. And how we stood together, when **** got really bad. Some day we'll ride again, As time will surely tell, But till I make that final run, I'll be polishing the bell. " makes you think" ride hard and make the best of every day to the fullest. jtpollock
