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.

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!"

You'd have to program that sucka to play the Duke's of Hazzard horn tune when you hit a big jump! :lol:

Calepic's flux makes rattle snake mateing calls when he comes down the trail.

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 bet you it was Santa Claus that took all them bells.
