I ran over a 2x4 with the front tire on my 1600 once, it had a nail in it and I saw it stick to the tire a little bit when I drove over it. I drove back to the shop and took the tire off, which was already down 1/2 way to the rim. I brought it to the tire shop and told them what I did.
The next day when I picked it up, they said they just couldn't find the leak. They took the tube out and it was fine, even after blowing up there was no leak.
