Gremlin Bell Ace of Spades

What is a gremlin bell?

A gremlin bell is a small metal bell that you attach to the lowest point of your bike. It is a small sentimental gesture by which you say ‘come home safe hey’.

As a motorcyclist, you know better than anyone how vulnerable you are in traffic. This gremlin bell, also known as a motorbike bell or angel bell, is a very well known and much appreciated gift among motorcyclists.

Should you give a gremlin bell as a gift?

Should you really give a gremlin bell or angel bell as a gift? Or can you also buy one for yourself? Most people will tell you that you have to get these, otherwise they will lose their ‘good mojo’. While there is a grain of truth in this, it is not entirely true. You may indeed buy a gremlin bell for yourself. After all, the pilots who made this tradition had not received it as a gift either.

But it is said that a motorbike bell brings more good luck when you got it from a friend, girlfriend or loved one. As when you buy one for yourself. After all, you drive just that little bit more carefully when you know there are people staying at home who really want to see you get home in one piece.

The best gift for a biker

Whether for a friend, girlfriend, brother, sister, father or mother, this is the nicest gift for every biker and motorcyclist! Great to give to your biker mom for Mother’s Day & your biker dad for Father’s Day! Or just because you can. After all, you never need an excuse to make a biker happy with this cute and sweet little gift.

Pilots would witness so much horror during World War II that they suffered from extreme sleep deprivation en masse. As a result, they sat extremely overtired in the cockpit, regularly beginning to see shadows from the corner of their eyes that they called ‘gremlins’ (evil spirits).

To keep these gremlins at bay, they hung a bell in their cockpit. The constant ringing of the bell kept them alert and ensured the shadows stayed at bay.

Pilots returning home after the war sought the excitement and freedom of motorcycling. The gremlin bell from their cockpit had kept them safe for countless miles in the air and they continued that on the tarmac.

The symbols on this Angel Bell

Like the Angel Wings bell, the Gremlin Bell Wings and Cross is more of an Angel Bell where the story goes back even further. Saint Michael is the patron saint of sick and suffering people and those working in dangerous conditions, like the pilots mentioned in the description. Saint Michael knows what it means to live in fear and threat and protects against evil influences and demons who want to take advantage of suffering and dangerous conditions. The symbols on this bell represent the guardian angel Saint Michael in which the kl
