Have you noticed that small bell on some people's bikes and wondered why it was there? It's more than just decoration - it has a specific function.
As we all know, life has many mysteries that have no apparent solutions. One of these is Evil Road Spirits. They are the little gremlins that live on your bike. They love to ride. They're also responsible for most of your bike's problems. Somtimes your turn signals refuse to work, or the battery goes dead, the clutch needs adjustment, or any of several hundred other things that could go wrong. These problems are caused by Evil road Spirits.
Road Spirits can't live in the presence of a bell. They get trapped in the hollow of the bell. Among other things, their hearing is super-sensitive. The constant ringing of the bell in the confined space drives them insane. They lose their grip and eventually fall to the roadway. (Have you ever wondered how potholes are formed?) The bell has served its purpose!
If you have picked up a bell of your own, the magic will work. But if your bell was given to you, the power has been doubled, and you know that somehwere you have a special friend helping to look after you.
So, if you have a friend who doesn't have a bell, why not be the person to give them one? It's a nice feeling for the recipient to know you personally cared.
The bell, plus a good preventative maintenance program by the bike's owner, will help eliminate the Evil Road Spirits.
May God in Heaven fulfill abundantly the prayers which are pronounced over you

May God bless your going out and coming in;
May the Lord be with you at home and on the road.
May He accompany you when you start on your many journeys;
May He fill your livees abundantly with many blessings;
May He keep all your rides safe.
May His mercy, grace and love shine upon your every path.
In Christ's Name, Amen.
