Ugh I am jealous all the riding you guys got in. I am ready for next year Rat Raid and hopefully SSB and I can get down there more, and hopefully to the track. Specially now since he got a Jeep haha
We don't have to wait for the RAT Raid to do these rides, I really enjoyed the mini-meet Tom, JD and I had last month. The rooms at the HUB are pretty darn cheap when split up between a bunch of folks. I'm all for having a lot more of these! :thumbup:
Doe that thing have enough CFM to run an air impact wrench?
I thought my harbor Freight compresser would work for that but turns out I would need a really big compressor to run the impact wrench I have
First thing I did when I got home after buying it was to relocate the hose reel. The first hole I drilled into the stud, cut right through an effin wire, lol. So I spent most of yesterday and this morning opening the wall, making the splice/repair (and installed a new recepticle) sealing wall back up. Still gotta paint and clean up.
Yeah, lol. I severed the wiring in the absolute worst spot, within the stud. :laugh: Had the entire wall to drill into and bam hit a wire right off the bat, lol.
JD - my leg still hurts where I got that cramp. That's the first time I've been uncomfortable riding the D675. Did you change the rearsets since the last time I rode it?

A little chilly this afternoon, but good day to ride. We have two groups of riders here with a SY Daytona and a Roulette Green ST3. Funny. Evidence posted below.

I hear ya, i am not sure on the semester dates where i will be attending, but they best not conflict with the RAID!... might have to talk to the professor's on early final exam if they do..
OK so the question for the morning is, how much compressor do you need to use an impact wrench?.. as surely i will use an air ratchet off and on and some occaisional impact use.
They tend to use 5-7 CFM average air consumption. (They need a lot of volume of air, not pressure). I think my compressor puts out like 5.3CFM, so it really doesn't have enough volume to get the maximum use of the impact wrench. ie: I have a better chance of loostening lug nuts with a breaker bar, THEN using the impact wrench to finish taking it off.
So it doesn't work at the point you need it most.
I would say you need at least 7CFM to really get started but to get the full use of the torque it can provide, you need this bad boy that puts out 15.8CFM at 90 psi
I only have an electric impact right now, so I can't test how well it would do with a pneumatic one. The only air tool I have (and always forget to use) is a Craftsman air socket (ratchet) wrench. I also have a HVLP air gun, but really don't see myself painting any more, too much trouble. The salesman (at Grizzly) had this model and said it did well with air nailers, ect. I'm just planning on airing up tires, and if I ever remember, the air wrench, lol.
Spidey is right - recovery is the biggest issue. That's the reason I went with this dual-tank design, it's supposed to help with that.
Yeah would be nice to have more than just two Daytonas down there, the more 675s the better. We had a blast last year, all these guys are great guys and glad SSB talked me into going.
Yeah and it was pitch black out, luckily those nice Subway ladies stayed open and we could eat before figuring out if we would make it to the next gas station or not haha
Hey that light pole now has a special spot in my heart hahha
