Im going to install one of those car horn automation machines where you can program in any tune you want. Then I can make it bark like a dog, meow like a cat or sing the Ice Cream Man tune as I am bombing down the trail.

Now the hikers and equestrians can get pissed at us before they even see us.

I dont recall what mag I saw this in but I read about it a few months ago and thought "I wonder how many bells get used but not returned!"

This has been going on over 3 years and the bells were always available until recently. I was talking to a friend of mine that lives up there and some people are trying to make the bell system not work by stealing the bells almost as soon as they put them back, some person or people come along and take them.

I got a bell for El Moro since ppl are everywhere. I just don't like using it unless I need to. It's just a little dweeby feeling.

I think the squeal of my brakes is fair enough warning.
