I hate it when that happens. Same thing happened to my Modena last Saturday.

yup a toothpick, the ones you get free from Dennys or something. Its sharp enough to go through when its sidewall and someone hammers it in. I wonder who would do that? I don't know anyone here.

I was unaware toothpicks were able to puncture a 1/4" of solid rubber under 32psi.

well now you know they could, and I highly doubt its 1/4 inch rubber.

Tire sidewalls are thick, they kinda have to support a car 'n shit.

Have you ever looked at tire sidewall? I have some 37" tires right now that are not on rims and I can tell you the sidewall is about 1/8 thick.
