what a nice day to ride...rode to work this morning and when I pulled in the drive after getting home, the crybaby bitchaholic neighbor on the corner rang my doorbell. I was wondering who he was going to bitch[sm=confused06.gif] about this time and guess who....me[sm=devilangel.gif], his complaint....my bike...he didnt think it should be on the front yard(Saturday evening for a short time while I let it cool off) over the weekend and he thinks it is TOO LOUD. I ,at first, told him it was all perfectly legal and was not too loud, but he insisted it was especially at 4:45 in the morning. At that point I (not so politely) explained to him that I leave for work at 5:30 every morning and thanked him for letting me know somebody else had been in my garage and on my bike earlier. While he continued[sm=boohoo.gif], I explained to him that IF he wanted loud I could show him loud and politely suggested he remove himself from my front porch before I had to do the honor.

RE: cry baby neighbors
When I moved into my neighborhood a year and a half ago all the older neighbors got tired of asking me to join them at church and moved away and neighbors my age moved in. Every UFC pay per view they are all at my house with a bunch of my other friends til wee hours of the night bbqing and drinking so they dont complain to much about our HDs. Although some of the older neighbors have kids with dirt bikes so Im pretty sure they dont care but the few that do live on the street that may complain already think I am a drug dealer so they leave me alone and usually dont say much to me, THATS FINE BY ME! LOL
One of em had an old beater car they decided to park in front of my house when I first moved in, I politely asked them to move it. They didnt, so I politely told them I was going to hook a chain to the front and tow it in front of their house with my truck if they didnt. It moved that day and they moved a few days later. Great neighbors now!!!! Im a people person.

RE: cry baby neighbors
If my closest neighbor gripes about anything, I would just "butcher the bitcher".
We live in the middle of a 20 acre pasture with cows all around us. Closest people neighbors are about 300 yards away, two have Harleys, and a couple more have pickups with GOOD pipes. And.......I like to set out in the yard in the evening with a glass of tea and a shotgun, and shoot at starlings and such. I wonder why nobody comes around here complaining??

RE: cry baby neighbors
I guess I've been lucky so far. Only one complainer and he had a barking dog. So I told him that when he killed the dog, I'd get a quieter bike. Never heard another word about it.
Funny thing is, he still has the barking dog and I got a quieter bike anyway.
But I'm saving up for some new pipes . . . . so look out mr. puppy man!

RE: cry baby neighbors
I haven't heard a complaint yet, which is surprising. Scootergrrl is the manager of our bldg, and gets complaint messages on her phone all the time for all kinds of things, but none for me yet, or so she says
. I was actually kinda hoping that the ******* neighbors who I don't like would bich when I started it up early, but nothing. I think they think I'm a drug dealer too, as it has been a while since I have worked...Maybe they are all scared of me because they heard stories of my evil twin doing unmentionable things and not sleeping for days. Who knows, but no one bothers me and that is the way I like it. All I get is "I am so afraid of those things..." Good, cause your not riding on it anyway...[8D]

RE: cry baby neighbors
F@#K HIM! I pushed my bike to the road for a the first week that I had my Harley. My neighbor although we get along came to me and compained. I leave out at about 3:45am when I work days so the next time I was on days I backed the bike out of the garage and pointed the exhaust towards his house, cranked it up and let it warm up while I put my gear on.
Well that evening when I pulled into the driveway he came walking over and before he could say anything I asked him if it was louder this morning, than normal and he said yes and asked me why. I explained that I had been trying to be considerate of him and his wife by pushing my bike up my 300' driveway then cranking it up and idling off real slow. Then I told him that if it was going to wake him anyway that there was no since in me pushing it up the driveway.............He has never complained again.
