O'Neill, Nebraska | Glad you're okay. So.....does everyone have a Gremlin Bell underneath the cowling of your bike? I like to hear the occassional jingle of it, which means another bad gremlin was warded off.
Keep the rubber side down. |

Brighton, TN | From the way I understand it, you can't buy the bell and it work. Your buddy or friend, significant partner, rider whoo haa, insert policatically incorrect name, etc. must give said item to you for good luck and friendship. But then again, I heard that from a HD guy, so not sure how true it is. Considering he never gave me one, not sure how good of a buddy he is, but I still like him (platonically speaking), Jeesh! |

Fargo, ND | Glad to hear you're ok.
There are 2 kinds of riders. Those who have laid it down...and those who are going to. |

Ruskin, Fl | Posted some pics in the gallery. They don't really look as bad as it actually is. Total estimate from the insurance adjuster was $6783.97. That was without the cost of repainting the parts black. |

Yep that's what I heard too! I was lamenting this fact at my dealer and the owner happened to stroll by where we were sitting. Upon hearing my challenge he reached across the parts counter....grabbed a bell and handed it to me as a gift.
Cool stuff! I was riding today and could hear the nice 'jingle' from underneath the cowling. Ride safe everyone. |

New Bohemia, VA | I don't have a bell, I guess no one cares enough for me to give me one. But out of the estimated 120,000 miles I have on a bike I've only laid it down once, and that was on my CB750 doing about 20-25mph in a hard left turn onto a street that the plane changed on me. The thought shot through my mind that I was going down, just before I went down when the side stand lever hit and throw the rear tire up. I came off the bike in a parachute landing fall (PLF) stance with my arms rotated in front of my face. I was road rashed from the elbows to the far end of the forearms on both arms. The worst thing I hurt that day was my pride, and if the old addage is true, you'll lay it down at least once, I hope that is it.
Mike, glad to hear they can fix the bike and you're doing okay. Saw the pics.
