My good friends Dad who I ride with often gave me a road gremlin bell for my bike. Never knew about these until now, but I read about them and thought the idea is great.
Hes rode bikes since the late 60's (Had a few CB750s, a CBX and various other bikes) so not sure how many guys are still riding with a bell on but he said it was a popular thing when he was riding. Curious how many guys here have a bell on their bike.
And if you don't know about them like I did, heres a good article summing up the possible origins

You're supposed to hang the bell as close to the road as you can, and my crash bar had a perfect spot for it.
