im kinda getting tired of going to a gas station and spend .50 cents each time i check or adjust my tire psi.

i saw a craftsman 12v air compressor. do you guys think it's good enough?

That's plenty good enough for motorcycle tires. Even a bicycle pump is good enough.

It's like... well... why would you get a 500 when you can have a 1000? Why an amp that can go up to 10 when another goes to 11?

Unless you plan on using pneumatic tools or painting, smaller is fine.

I've been using a bike pump here in italy because I left my compressor in the states.

I used to have a 120 volt compressor, which was way more than I needed, but it looked so cool and the extra power made me really feel manly, so I figured what the hell, I'll just pump slowly while I'm learning.

But the damn thing got stolen, and I decided to go with something smaller, so I grabbed a 12 volt model. It's good, but I miss that extra oomph the 120 volt one gave me.

I'm going to get a TRE installed in it as soon as my mechanic is done putting the stickers on the sides.

Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where?.....Nowhere!
