The other night i parked my scooter by my girlfriends flat and after dinner i hopped back on it and off i went. Now straight away the rear tire felt a bit loose and after inspection it was pretty flat but still ridable so i pulled into the first garage and pumped it up again and rode home. I was just 10km from home so i didn't want to start fiddling with it at 10PM at night when i need to go to work at 3AM. Anyway in the morning i discovered a toothpick in my tire, i'm still somewhat amazed that something so weak and thin was able to penetrate my tire  ??? I did however get to plug my first tire and it is still holding so i concider it a success  :thumleft:
