BB-87 Semi Truck Bell

Keep on Truckin' The line comes from “Truckin' My Blues Away” a song by by Blind Boy Fuller from 1936. Comics artist R. Crumb is an avid blues fan, so he more than likely heard the phrase in Fuller's song and adapted it to his comic strip.

If a person keeps on truckin', they press forward despite the difficulties or obstacles that come their way; to be persistent.

THE STORY

Most bikers know about gremlins.  They’re the evil little creatures who lay out traps of road debris.  Re-treads, boxes, mufflers, diesel fuel….  Or deploy invisible devilish devices that puncture tires or break chains.  They also chase deer out onto the road in front of bikers.

NOW A BIKER TRADITION

Few believe bravo guardian bells actually warn off evil.  Yet they’re a great tradition, and a great way to remind fellow bikers why they need to stay safe.  But there are a few rules.

• Hang a Bravo Bell from the lowest part of your bike.  Gremlins will be trapped in its hollow if they try to reach for your bike.  And hang the Bravo Bell towards the front as the ringing drives them away.
• If you buy your own guardian bell the magic does work.
• But if you receive one as a gift from a friend or loved one the magic is twice as strong.
• If you steal a guardian bell off someone else’s bike you’ll get all the gremlins they would have had, on top of your own.
• If you ever sell your bike, keep the Bravo Bell.  It’s a precious gift of love and good will.
