Neighbors complaining - advice requested

After 10 is quiet time. Before 10 is "don't be an obnoxious dickhead but play with your toys if you want to" time.

 

Could you roll the bike out your driveway before you start it. Maybe something that simple will make a difference

 

Quit riding up and down the street like a new father trying to get a baby to go to sleep. Leave, go for a ride, come back in a non-obnoxious way. Or, take Kenny's advice.

 

Is your neighbor a Karen ? Sounds like it.

 

Light a bag of shit afire on their front steps before you go on your next ride. If it’s still burning when you get back, piss on it.

 

If I saw someone riding back and forth at midnight I'd think something is fishy or would question wtf they are doing.

The husky with a stock pipe shouldn't be too loud to start it and go and not sit there and warm up for awhile. However, thinking if my neighbors did that, in the proximity that we live, I too would get annoyed once I realized it wasn't just a few late night rides.

There is a solution here without being a dick and just go talk to them in person when they are getting the mail or something. I know the houses to my left right and on the other side of the street and we all get along but we've made an effort to get to know one another.. they are also younger families and not old curmudgeons like you guys.

 

read post 5.... Up and down the street on a track bike? Dick move IMO....

 

I tried that with a TLR at 6AM About 20 years ago before a gap trip... I finally said F it and just left...

 

I’d start by killing their pets, I mean, go all out: drown their fish, feed their gerbils to the homeless and send the dog on a staged drug-sniffing mission with an 1kg open bag of the finest Colombian bam bam you can get.

Then, after you get done editing/posting that shit on YouTube, email those links to their family.

When you’re done with that, get a cup of coffee - a big one, ‘cause you’ll need it. Tell their children that they’re all adopted, or better yet, forge some paperwork and then tell them their lives are a lie,
chop their heads off with a weed whacker and then drive around town putting their heads on spikes, preferably in front of a motorcycle dealership.

And then, once you’ve accomplished all of that, being careful not to get caught, apologize for the noisy motorbike and give them bad investment advice. I mean, you gotta think long term if you want to get ahead!

 

I'd change that time to be more like 8/9 at the latest, but yeah. The OP can't get to sleep so he's riding his motorcycle and turning his not sleeping problem into the whole fucking neighborhood's not sleeping problem.

I love bikes but not the sound of them at midnight waking me up when I need to be up at 6am. Fuck that shit and be a little more respectful.

 

tell your neighbors to see a sleep specialist...lol. Ive slept though people doing dyno runs and 2T tuneups in the pits. I once got woken up by a failing
propane alarm. Ok it wasnt me but someone sleeping next to it that woke me. Yanked it out of the wall...went back to sleep.

 

You should leave a care package on your neighbors doorstep.

Leave them a box of earplugs, sleeping pills, tampons, and Midol.

 

Agreed.

 

I am surprised to. He also let's the bike warm up for ever . One day I timed it 38 minutes . Most of the time it's between 15-30 minutes .

 

Ok, yeah this is a dick move.

One time, I’d let it slide. The 2nd time, I would say something to you.

But after that, I’d put two large, lightweight trash cans on each side of the road, and the run a rope (painted black) between them.

 

Generator?

 

Its a neighborhood, be neighborly. Only engine I start after 9:00 pm is my truck with stock exhaust. Motorcycles, scooter, lawnmower, weed eater, power tools, and even my Jeep with non stock exhaust is no. That said, my neighborhood is quiet and mostly older folks, so we’re long past needing a ride to calm us.

 

City people and city problems, plus democrats. Glad ya'll like living shoulder to shoulder, more room for me. So...thanks.
