Motorcycle Guardian Bells

Riding a motorcycle is a great emotional pleasure, although, there is always an element of risk and danger that comes with enjoying the road. And because everyone subconsciously needs some form of protection or control over dangerous forces, superstitions are widespread in the motorcycle culture. Some of us never forget to flip the rear pegs up when riding without a passenger. Some believe it's bad luck to drop the helmet. Hanging a guardian bell on a motorcycle is a strong tradition that spans many decades. This tiny bell is believed to bring good luck and a sense of control over the “evil side” of motorcycling.

A guardian bell, also called a gremlin bell or angel bell, is said to protect the motorcycle and rider from evil road spirits (gremlins) that are responsible for bad luck, crashes, and all kinds of damages to motorcycles. Trapped in the bell, the spirits can't bear the constant loud ringing and eventually go insane, break free, and fall to the ground – by the way, causing potholes. The guardian bell should be attached tightly and as low as possible in order to immediately catch the evil spirits and keep them captured securely. Typically, you see them on cruisers, attached to the lowest part of the frame with a zip-tie.

There's more to a gremlin bell than being an amulet. Because this good luck charm is believed to be much more powerful if gifted by a fellow rider, it strengthens a bond in the riding community. Wish your friend or loved one a safe ride with one of our motorcycle guardian bells. Traditionally, these bells feature the image of St. Christopher, the patron saint of travelers. Although, the design of the bell is a matter of taste, and there is a sizeable array of options on the market featuring skulls, angels, Celtic symbols, Harley Davidson emblems, scripts, flags, and more.
