The lights are powered by the battery, not the alternator. The alternator charges the battery. Its connected to the crank by means of a belt.

It doesnt cause the engine to work harder when your headlights are on.

Technically, it does, but just not by much. By putting enough of a load on the BATTERY, with the engine running, the engine RPM's will drop significantly, until the computer compensates for this change, by letting more air into the engine, which in turn has to have more FUEL delivered, also.

With the above being said, I think it would take MANY THOUSANDS of miles of driving with the headlights on vs. headlights off to consume much more fuel. I bet it would be less than a gallon over say 10,000 miles? Basically not enough to worry about it.

i thought that 250 was your rascal scooter

No, the 'Ceptor is mine.

A Rascal MIGHT be able to outrun the 250!

No way it could out-handle it though....

Wow, there is LOT's of FAIL being spewed in this thread! Wow!

There's alot of those fuckers on here. I feel old as hell seeing some of the members here and the shit they post. I graduated high school 13 years ago;)

Ok fuckers, now I'm feeling old here... I'm about to call medicare and see about getting my rascal scooter.... I graduated 18 years ago, you young punks..... Damn kids, can't have anything nice with them around....

DRLs for the win.

This should be common sense anyway...oh yeah, that's right. Not everyone has that.

Common sense is....well....not so common!

I usually have my headlights on BEFORE I need the wipers. Rain-X FTW!

Oh, I know all about the hiibilly parties, believe me! I've been to more than a few of them! Maybe none out your way, though. I have gotten to the point that cold weather doesn't like me, so I stay in, also.

you could crash at my place ifn's yas wanted to... I liked hanging w you and the mrs....

I think Moose has a man crush on you, rr dude.....

Or maybe this has something to do the SWingR's name thread? Just sayin'...

I just thought of another one I need to make:

Not spend so much of my hard earned money at the Iron Pony...

From now on, it will only be money that I made easily, or was given to me...

theres possibly somthing wrong with me I know

Duh...Captain OBVIOUS!! That's the OR way!

Since your so close and all really just right around the corner I may have to stop by again.

That an theres NOTHING out here

Fixed.

Ahh.. come on moose, are those all the better tags you could come up with? Those look like what a newb would use..... Geesh...

it was worth a repost

Mine for this year is to seperate my wants from my needs so I can get the finances in check,

That's the tough part of controlling the finances!

We have a TR wholesale account also, but after adding the shipping it's just not worth it to get tires from them, even though their prices are a little bit better than our other distributors, the shipping kills it.

I might have to go throw the Hon-duh back together to ride it today, it's not too bad out there!

lol, yeah no kidding.

Looks like you took a long time to set that all up Hoblick, looks good.

Duh, I was talking about his photog skillz! Did you think I meant the weapons?

^^^ Nice!

It's awesome how Cheech get's taken care of! You guys get him the girls, and someone () decorates his favorite curve......

^^^ That reminds me..... Don't mess with Hoblick!

He wont be able to keep anything down till Weds

Then Thurs is another party night, new years and all.... Sounds like how I lived back in the days when I would go to places you that! Oh, the memories....that I can't remmeber!

Ok, I was having a dumb moment last night, and I wasn't even drinking! We don't normally get Firestone/Bridgestone, it's BFG, Michelin, Continental, Uniroyal, General, and others, which are all decent tires, but nothing under about $220 each for your size. It doesn't look like there's much available at all for your size! I tried!

Typo, 255/60 19. And it's got the Goodyears on them and they suck ass. That's why I'm changing. There is plenty of tread on them but they are the worse tires I have ever had

Understood. They don't even have a very good wear rating, I figured they were worn out too fast! I have not idea why the local PD insists on using them.

If I can get into the other site, I'll see what we have avail, but I doubt we'd beat TR's price.

Wow. I didn't know that place was still there! Is just as awful as it always was? It's probably been about 15 years since I have been in there! (Sinbad's not the Moose KoC)

Never got to meat ya Dave, but I've heard you ride that V-rod like ya stole it, and pass the sportbikes on it! I also heard that you're ok to hang out with. Good luck in Fla.!

You should still watch Fox Sunday at 9PM, I'm sure it'll be a funny Family Guy episode

Or FOX @ 8:00. Simpson's is always good!

I'm going to try to see the good instead of always the bad, eliminate stress and take my father to Ireland.

That Ireland trip is AWESOME! I've been there for work, would love to go back for leisure!

I'm guesing you're intentionally changing the size? The fitment guide from one of our suppliers shows 255/60-19 for that thing with 19 inch wheels. They only show one tire in that size though, it's a Goodyear Eagle RS-A for just about $110 each. We should be able to do mounted and balanced for around $520 out the door, maybe less. We're a little bit away from you though! Looks like we're about a 2 hour drive! The size you specified, the only thing that supplier showed was over $200 each!

We have another suppplier that I could check with that carries Bridgestone, Firestone, Uniroyal, Continental, and others, but for some reason I can't get logged in. I'm not sure if I messed up the login info, or if their site is just down.
