Biker Tradition

POLISH THE BELL
It has been a tradition
among some of us, for a long time, to run a brass bell on the left
swing arm, to remember our brothers and sisters who have gone down
riding. It's a small thing, but the reason a brass bell is chosen is
that as we ride it will get dirty and tarnished. Every time we get down
and wash and polish it, we are reminded of friends lost, and our
thoughts turn to the meaning of being in the wind. As we ride, and hear
the bell ring, we know that our brothers and sisters are riding with
us. How easy it would be to join them with a single mistake. And maybe,
just maybe, the next time a situation comes up, they will be there to
help us as long as we remember them by:
