- Start date
I have about 2 feet. It's connected to the tank that I sit next to the tire. Unless you plan on having air for the entire paddock, just enough to make it to your bike from you source is enough.

Huh? What would you need 50+ feet of hose for?
Edit: There is no right answer, as there are a bunch of variables in question:
- Where is your bike?
- Where is your trailer?
- Would you rather drag the hose out and then have to wind it all up?
- Or would you rather bring your bike to the trailer?
- Would you rather move the truck and trailer closer to the bike?
- Would you prefer to say to hell with the whole compressor and push your bike to Turn One and ask the boys for some air?
- Perhaps you could get by just bringing a bicycle pump?
Oh hell, just go buy 400' of the best hose you can buy and the rest of us can leave our compressors at home.

Wait.... That should be farther away right? Far is a distance, so it's farther.
If you have my luck, your hose will always be to short.
Hmmm That doesn't sound right either.
No. I'm right. Because the ladies always pit farther away from me then the guys. Yeah. That sounds better.

Is there some other use for the compressor other than filling the tires? I bought one of those canisters-much lighter to carry around than a compressor. I got it at walmart for $20. I bring it with me to every track day filled to 100 psi. It gets very little use as I overfill my tires to 35 psi at home then bleed them down to track pressures in the morning. It basically is there for tweaks and to loan out to those in need. My .02

As far as other uses go... I changed a clutch trackside once (50mm nut that requires an air gun) and changing sprockets I could imagine using it.
:dunno:
There is also using the air to clean out carbs (jets and such), but most of you wouldn't know about that
