The Karma Bank

[FJ_Hooligan]

A little deposit for the Karma Bank for me yesterday.

I was refueling and noticed a bike parked over by the air/water dispenser.  I didn't see the rider anywhere but there were also a few cars around.  I was wondering if he was having a tire problem and was going to go over there after I finished getting that last 0.2 gallon of gas in the tank.

Just as I was finishing I hear "Excuse me sir?" (I hate that!) 
"I have a flat tire and was wondering if you have any plugs?"

I replied "yes" since I always carry my Stop&Go Pocket Tire Plugger.

He had already found the hole so it only took me about 20 seconds to install the plug.  He was amazed at how easy it was, thanked me several times (since he was still 30 miles from home) and even offered me money (which I refused). 

Hopefully he will ride safe and pay it forward.

That was the right thing to do, good on you mate...

[Pat Conlon]

Yep, good on ya! I always keep mine in my tail piece.

The Stop&Go mushroom plugs works great for the straight thru punctures
...however, for the rare diagonal punctures, I found that the traditional red rope works best, so I carry both.

Gotta love those tubeless tires.....

....those Harley guys are SOL when it comes time to fix a flat out in the middle of BFE.

I was on a ride with the Monkey and a group of Angeles Crest riders a while back.  One of the guys hit a rock on his Ducatti and bent the front rim to the point where the tire was leaking air badly.  My inner-Mcguyver kicked in immediately.  The rim was toast, but if we could beat it back into shape with a rock the tire would probably hold air.  NO ONE had a compressor...or a Co2 cartridge...  He ended up walking to higher ground, calling the Ducatti dealer...who sent a van out two hours later...at the cost of about $300...  ALL for the lack of an air compressor.  I now carry an air compressor and puncture plugs...maybe for me...mostly for the other folks I ride with.

Someone once told me that is you mention it, it does not count.

What was "karma" becomes "brag" and mentioned this makes me a "rag" or something along those lines

Yep, make the world a better place by investing in the Karma Bank.
My buddy and I were rattling down the 101 last weekend in his pick-up, when we spied a couple on a BMW sat by the side of the road.
Flipped around to find out they'd run out of gas. What? on a BMW; they hold about 8 gallons!!!
Anyway, we must have appeared as generally good characters since the guy elected to stay with the bike and let his wife ride with us the 10 miles down to Laytonville.
Feel the BMW love.

We've all seen some truly evil POS do very, very well for themselves in the business world.

They keep taking advantage of and abusing people and keep moving ahead in their quest for money and power.

Time for me to STFU.....
