You know, this has bothered me for some time as well.  I never thought of twisting it toward a more Secular angle.  You may have hit upon a whole new niche. 

 

I'll keep an eye out for something, but all I have every seen are the religious bells you mentioned or the basic brass ones.  I think I may just pull out my engraver and carve a big A on it.

If I had my cnc mill working, I'd try to get vector artwork for FSM, Darwin fish, or the stylized A - and make my own.

Now that you mention it, it does sound like something that would sell.

Engraving an A isn't a bad idea, but I want something that is obviously not pro-superstition.

How about a Darwin fish ?

All the ones I've seen were flat on the back for attaching to a vehicle. This will be hanging, so it needs to look good from front and back. It also needs a loop.

My bell is in the style of an armored helmet. It fit with my idea of 'protection'. And to me, 'protecting myself' means paying 100% attention 100% of the time - the bell serves as a reminder to me that vigilance is always a must when riding a motorcycle.

And it has a sentimental value, as being an icon of biker lore - but zero superstitious / metaphysical meaning.

If a bell were available with the atheist A, or even the Darwin fish, I'd buy one!
