Congrats on the permit! I have a some pieces of advice that I learned the hard way.... 1. Where you look = where you go......dont look at oncoming traffic when you are first starting out, or you will naturally lean towards them & wreck. I almost died in the first 5 miles that I ever rode a motorcycle and sideswiped the PASSENGER side of an oncoming car because I was looking at it instead of the road in front of me....how I lived, I dont know. Always always always look at the road 100+ yards in front of you where you want to go.....you will naturally lean and not have issues. 2. Dont go faster than you are comfortable. Here in VA, the newest/inexperienced rider always rides in the front. Dont follow experienced riders trying to catch up....you will wreck. 3. You see cars....they dont see you. It doesnt register in people's brains that you are on the road. People will pull right out in front of you at stop signs/etc after looking you in the eyes. Also, when stopped, keep it in first gear and watch your mirrors. The last time I rode a motorcycle I was pulling into my driveway with my left turn signal on. I see a truck flying up behind me.....he passes my neighbors driveway without slowing down and I take off quickly.....as he locks his brakes up, I am speeding forward & the tire tracks stopped about 10' in front of where I was sitting. If I had not been in first gear & alert, I would have died or gotten seriously injured. 4. It is easy to speed & hard to outrun a police radio.....dont go more than 10 over the limit or you are asking for lawyer fees. 5. I would NOT suggest getting your "dream bike" at the start. Get a 750cc or smaller bike.....you most likely are going to lay it down or drop it.....that is a lot easier to deal with if you paid $2k VS $20k. 6. Lastly ...... always wear protective gear. I refer you to my first 5 miles.....had I not worn a helmet, gloves, boots, pants, and a motorcycle jacket.....I would have been at minimum covered in road rash.

Sweeeeeeet! Love the color!

Nice job! I thought that laying newspaper down and covering it with dirt will kill anything underneath & then the newspaper rots & turns into soil. You may want to try that.

I think many people are going to make the switch now.....that is an awesome price!

Weird.....I have flown multiple times with my heated jacket and hoodie.....with them ON!......never once had an issue. I called TSA beforehand to verify & they said it was fine, but to tell the person scanning it through the x-ray machine that it was a heated jacket.

Nice job!

Nice! Looks like a good (cheaper) alternative to the FUEL series Glad to hear that the power isnt lacking!

Nice! Good choice Mike!

Nice! That is the one thing I dont like about the mobile stands....putting them together! Looks like it is going to be a bit safer & easier to use than the sawhorses.

Yep....it is online already......it is definitely pretty fast charging! I was able to fully charge (3) M18 4.0XC & (3) M12 Compact batteries to a full charge in 1:30.

That is how I feel after I eat at Olive Garden....

The 2764 is the same size/weight as the 2763, except for the following : 3/4" Anvil (vs 1/2") 1,200 ft-lbs Breakaway Torque (vs 1,100) 375 ft-lbs Mode #1 Torque (vs 100) 750 ft-lbs Mode #2 Torque (vs 700) So pretty much this is the most powerful cordless impact period. The problem that people will run into, is if they dont use 3/4" drive sockets & instead use a 3/4"-1/2" adapter....the torque loss will make it less powerful than the 2763 & also 2" longer. It sounds like with you working on semis, that isnt an issue.....so the 2764 is definitely the right choice!

I did full reviews with extensive run time testing on both of them.... M18 Fuel : 233 cuts - 2x4s 71 cuts - 7/16 OSB 36V LXT : 443 cuts - 2x4s 129 cuts - 7/16 OSB I am planning a comparison video, but dont have the extra footage down as of yet.....check out the 2 videos I did on them & I am sure you can make your mind up.

A band saw would be my suggestion.....look for a full size floor model on Craigslist.....I got my dad a $50 one about this time last year. Aluminum is much softer than steel, so the teeth should hold up for a long time if you are not forcing the wheels through.

That is specifically why I spend the time and money to do runtime testing Funny thing....in my video for the 7-1/4" FUEL, I got the exact same number of cuts through 2x4s that Milwaukee advertised (233). However, in the video I just made about the Makita 36v.....I got 443 cuts through 2x4s (221.5/battery) & in Makita's own advertising, they are saying it would do 250 (total)......I think they should hire my dad to do their runtime testing from now on! haha
