Just remember that for them to work, they are supposed to be gifted to you, so the legend goes.

My hubby was telling me of the legend of the Guardian Bell last night. He wants to gift me one for my travels on my lonesome. Thank you for the awesome information.

Awesome story, just shows to prove that you learn something new everyday. Ditto now looking for one as well. Not that I'm superstitious or anything but a couple of times there's been a strong head wind and my guardian angle hasn't quite kept up, so it's just to help him out

Great story, never read about it before, I have a Guardian Bell on my bike as a friend gave me one when I first got this bike, and have given a few away, about to get another for a new rider friend who's learning atm, seems I need to hang one off my camera, lol Ok didn't get a bell for the camera but like the old biker I thru some old batteries at it and seemed to have scared off the gremlins, lol

When this thread was started I looked at the different types of bells available and thought that because of what they are companies can charge what they like, I thought the prices were a little high. So I looked at what else was available and found these www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pet-Small-Bell-Key-Chains-Zinc-Metal-Key-Rings-Keyfob-Decorations-Couples-Gifts-/161341730277?ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:AU:3160 I ordered one to see how it looks as it's hard to tell from the pictures and description. the real item is not always what it looks like in the photos. I received it today, the bell itself is 48mm (not 5.3) from the top of the ring to the bottom of the bell and is metal, looks exactly as the picture, it will do the job nicely, I am now in contact with the seller who tells me he can do it cheaper, in a 12 piece buy. If people are interested it might be something for the SRA shop? Frank

On two sites related to vtxs, they started ,'A Paying Forward' thread which in turn has 120 pages of people gifting guardian bells to others members? Maybe it should be an idea for this site?

And the reason for 'gifting a bell' against buying your own, is? Gifting is supposed to give twice the luck than buying your own?

The idea of 'gifting' is where paying it forward came from.... as you give so shall you recieve. It may a symbol such as a bell, it may be a gesture such as going ot f my way to meet or help a friend. One thing I love about this forum is 'Gifting or paying it forward) is shown every day in so many ways.

Like your thoughts there Sheepdog. Do you want to email George the idea, he may like it or not I suppose. Sounds a good thing though.

All it really needs is a thread, to people to pick a guardian bell they may like and have it gifted
