our favorite Legend about the bell : The Road Trip From Mexico

One night there was a man on his way home from a road trip to Mexico on his motorcycle. He was several miles North of the Mexican border and enjoying the open road all to himself. Unbeknownst to him, there was a group of gremlins up ahead who had left some obstacles in the road to cause an accident.

Gremlins are those mischievous evil spirits that like to cause problems for people just so we will be as miserable as they are.

The rider didn’t have time to react since it was dark and the road was poorly lit. He crashed his motorcycle and skidded to a stop near one of his saddlebags. Beat and battered, the rider couldn’t get up, and as the gremlins drew closer to him he began to throw things at them from his saddlebag.

The last thing he had left in his saddlebag was a small bell. As he began ringing it to try to scare them off, two other nearby riders who were camping for the night heard the bell and were curious where it was coming from. They hiked back to the road to find this injured rider being attacked by the gremlins.

This group of bikers fought off the gremlins and nursed their fellow rider back to health. As a token of appreciation, the injured rider gave the bell to one of the men and told him that if he ever needed help, just to ring that bell and a fellow rider would be there to help him.

So if you ever see a motorcycle with a bell hanging from it, know that that person has been given a great gift from a fellow rider, the gift that they are always looking out for you.
