Does the size of the bell matter?  Do little bells keep little buggers away whereas one of those cow bells keep even the old big guys at bay?   How about wind chimes?  Do they work or attract fairies?

LEGAL DISCLAIMER:
The following was "stolen" from www.gremlinbells.com

Have you noticed that some riders have a small bell hanging off their motorcycle frame or handlebars?  Have you wondered what the purpose is?  Well, you have come to the right place.  That little bell is more than decoration, it serves a very important purpose – it wards off gremlins, also known as evil road spirits. 

You see, there are motorcycle gremlins that LOVE to ride, but they are also mischievous little devils and they cause all sorts of problems for you while you are riding.  Some say they are responsible for that old lady in the minivan not seeing you and cutting you off in traffic.  Or, you may be having trouble shifting smoothly, your battery goes dead, your turn signal suddenly refuses to work, an oil spill appears out of nowhere, you hit a patch of black ice, etc – you get the idea.  Those little gremlins look for trouble and try to steer your bike towards it.

Now, once you get a bell on your scoot – it wards off these attacks from the little gremlins, not allowing any more to get onto your bike.  If you already have some gremlins riding with you, they will get trapped in the hollow of the bell, and the constant ringing will drive them insane – causing them to lose their grip and fall to the roadway. 

Do you have the protection of a gremlin bell?  If you buy a gremlin bell of your own, the power works.  If you receive the gremlin bell as a gift – the powerful magic of the bell is doubled.  Do you have a friend who does not have a gremlin bell yet?  Why not be the person to give them one, they'll thank you!  The bell, and a good preventive maintenance program by the bike's owner, will help eliminate the gremlins.


Some gremlins love to ride bikes. obviously some of them love VWs too!

I think the gremlins love the V and the W as hiding places.  And how many of those logos do we have on our cars?  Way to many if you don't have some bells.  Thanks this explains all my car problems.  Not so all the others.
