Guardian Bell

[moon937]

Anyone heard of a Guardian Bell? I met up with some American mates last year to do a Harley road trip around Colorado. I noticed that all the Americans we came across had small silver bells hanging under their bikes, normally in front of the engine. At the end of the holiday, the Yanks presented me with my own Guardian Bell, (apparently you’re not allowed to buy your own), saying that they are used to ward of the evil road spirits that cause bikes to go wrong, or fall over. I’ve never come across anything like this in the UK ??? Is this just a Harley/American thing????

Protecting your vehicle

Many years ago, a Belfast aunt of mine bought a new car. She took it to the local church to have a Priest bless it to ward off evil spirits etc.
Priest threw Holy Water round it, told it to be a good car ant treat her well, and then took 40 pieces of silver in return for his blessing. Aunt thanked him very much, wound up the window and drove off.

Straight down a flight of steps in front of the church!

A religious Aunt of mine in Dublin was paranoid about me being on the bike. We were leaving Dublin to head back to Manchester. My Mrs was on the back and a witness to all of this. At the last minute my aunt virtually drenches my helmet in fecking holy water (read regular tap water with hocus pocus added). I told her not to be messing with my athiest karma. No word of a lie we had barely made it past Conwy before the bolt out of my peak unscrewed (on the side she soaked) and fell out and the wind caught it and nearly ripped it clean off. Only for my good lady's fast reactions I would have lost it.

That's what happens when you pour dodgy water onto the helmet of the antichrist. I tell you the Devil was most certainly riding that night :cool

I stand shoulder to shoulder with you brother
