The Evil Road Spirits and Ringing Bell Tradition

The Evil Road Spirits and Ringing Bell Tradition

Have you ever heard anything about Evil Spirits on the roads? Though, they can cause problems and create difficulties for you, but they seem to have love with motorcycle riding. Riders, who have been riding motorcycles for a while, they must have come across to some common problems such as improper working of turn signals, sudden issue with bike control, battery going empty or some other things can easily go wrong. This is how they potentially affect our ride in making it somewhat worst.


These evil road spirits have super sensitive hearing ability which makes existence of ringing bell nightmare for them. So, it’s very basic and easy way to get evil spirits aside with continuous ringing of bell. This noise confronts them for space and so they lose grip which throws them down to the roadway. One might wonder to believe that this is how ringing bell has resulted to form potholes.

So, if you haven’t got a ride or guardian bell, then go for one and give one to a friend, just to let him know the way you care. Adding up a preventive maintenance manual given by bike’s manufacturer can also help ways to get rid of Evil Road Spirits.


Some add more to the folklore and it’s about the history of ringing bell; it began in the old wagon where ornate bells were used by the range roving teamsters to let their families know of arrival. It’s more of a tradition that motorcyclist’s follow and traditions are important part of biker’s lives.
