After 25 years in criminal defence: a very small percentage of criminals are committed to evil. Most act from some combination of haplessness and venality. If we examined our own consciences we would acknowledge that we have done selfish, hurtful things to others. The morality of those acts isn't essentially different because they are called crimes. Crime is just a small subset of the harm we do each other.But it is especially stupid to do something selfish and hurtful, if it's also a crime, because of the potential consequences. That's why, of the vast population of those who have sinned and come short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23) those whose conduct has been criminal tilt toward the stupid. But my biggest hobbyhorse is the belief that criminals are stamped by some kind of "otherness" in any respect, and wear a scarlet C. Sometimes stupidity wells up inside the smartest of us, right beside venality. So the guy behind bars today could be bellying up to your local bar tomorrow. And the day after that he could be helping you out when your KLR croaks on the side of the road. Same guy, different days. And he could be any of us. That's my view, anyway.

I think that now there have been more posts requesting a change of subject than there were posts about guns. It does seem to me that some are missing the whole point of there being a NKLR posting option. If the NKLR discussions bother a few so much why do they get their undies in a bunch and start with the "take it some where else", "doesn't belong here"," hi-jacking the group" or the best was regarding "thin-skinned noobs"? From reading every post for the past two years I kind of got the impression that some here were a little more multidimensional than the strictly KLR postings might imply, hence the NKLR designation for some posts. Being unable to be erudite and cogent in a long dissertation about the various oils, electrical theory, or much of anything else, is a failing of mine but I still read each and try to glean the meaning of the post.

There is an Indian legend of 6 blind men examining an elephant, feeling only one part; One man felt the ears, one the leg, one the tail, trunk, skin, and body, etc. All thought they knew what an elephant looked like. You and I examine the same elephant, different parts. The part the rev 'examines' is the persons heart, not the resultant wreck. If the individuals heart is selfish, the resultant wreck will manifest itself as stupid. God bless you in your work with the the 'wrecks' of society. I hope you get to do your work while riding your KLR. I do! revmaaatin.

Hi Monte, Nice way to say that you (and me) are interested in every aspect of life, not just a keyhole perspective of one grain of sand. I know about sand; my chain/parish/KLR friends give me frequent lessons. revmaaatin. revmaaatin.

I have been having trouble with tires going flat all the sudden. My front tire has gone flat while riding twice. My back tire has gone flat on me once which was today on my ride into work. Thank God I am alright. I was only a .5 miles away from work and was turining into my business park. Any way anybody outthere having the same problem? --------------------------------- Yahoo! oneSearch: Finally, mobile search that gives answers, not web links.

Only when I pick up something that punctured the tube. The only ways a tire can go flat is with a puncture, a tear or a bad valve stem. All 3 should be detectable and you can figure out the cause yourself. FWIW, I"ve had stretches where I was repairing a flat tire every week on my cars. It was always something I picked up. Just pure cooincidence that these occurances happened when they did. Flats are like that. Heavy duty tubes can help if your flats are due to thorns or grit in the tire. Tires with low tread are more prone to flats. Poor cleanup procedures in the garage, especially with caprentry projects, can be a problem (don't ask me how I know). A recent roof tear off and a gravel driveway can lead to nails in the tire for a long time (again, don't ask how I know). And then there is just plain bad luck.

Last year on the 4 Corners run, I started with a new tube in Edmonton Alberta. It went flat at Lynden Washington. The tube appeared to split on the centre line, had it patched. At Ozone, Texas, it started to leak again, the patch had failed, repatched. When I got to Beaumont Texas I bought a spare tube which in hindsight I should have had with me anyway. At Gulfport Mississsippi, the patch let go and the new tube went in. From there to Key West and thence to Madawaska Maine, and across most of Canada there has been no problem, and the same tube is still operational. I think that there are tubes which are duds out there and some times you get one. There was no penetration of the tyre itself, and it is still rolling too. That's life in the pretty quick lane.

Something else to check is your rim strip. Eventually they get old and rotten and the sharp edges of the spoke nipples can poke through them. Eventually that will cause a rim-side flat. Sometimes they get moved out of place too when installing a tire or tube and won't be covering the spoke nipples... same thing, rim-side flat. My general rule is: new tire = new tube & new rim strip time.
