I figure the kid is going through some tough times so have not said anything yet to him about it.
It's going to blow everyones ear drums in their house before it causes me any grief.

Lighten up. He only talked about a burnout in the garage, never said anything about anyone driving or riding home. If he falls off it is his bike and his ***. When we have a backyard summer get together the guys usually go home, get the wives and come back in a cage. I get the keys when they get here, then there is food, music,beverages, a fire and good company til whenever. Only ones that get to go home are those that walked (the neighbors) and those who are sober. Oops, I forgot, in CA ya have to have permission for everything. Sorry

Now, if it were me and I did something stupid like that (and I have ), I would run down to the liquor store and get a case of good wine (and I have) and start passing out bottles to the neighbors with personal apologies. It may not be high test, but the wives will like it and everyone knows - make the momma happy and everybody's happy. It's a cheap fix to keep the peace in the neighborhood. JMO

So we have a party last Friday night for my best friend of 14 years who is back for a short time from Italy (Aviano Air Base). The drinking starts around 5 and progresses heavily for quite a while. Another buddy of mine just bought a 2005 Sportster. We are all HD tards, so everyone there is bs'ing about bikes, drinking, and having an all around hell of a time.
Here's the point to this.
Around 2ish, we get to talkin' about which bike is fastest, etc. I get bet that I can't do a burn-out on the '05 Sportster (says it don't got the *****, or I don't, I don't quite remember which now). So, I call BS, get on the bike, in the garage, and proceed to prove them wrong. After bouncing off the rev limiter for about 30 seconds, I realize, I am an *******. My neighbors are trying to sleep and here is this douche-bag doing a burn-out (with straight pipes) at 0200. What a D!CK!!!! I also realize that when the cops show up, I am the one getting the ticket for disturbing the peace. So, I start getting ready for the po-po, outside the garage smoking a cig. and another, and another. 20 minutes go by and no cops. WTF? I get to looking around and none of my neighbors even have lights on. I know if I would have been one of them, I would have been up and pissed. Now I feel even more like a **** heal. I have been laying low since, but can't wait until my neighbors catch me outside the house during the day. I know I am in for a ration of ****. I deserve it.
They say confession is good for the soul. So, there ya go.
(It was a freakin' good time though.

No a shitty neighbor is one who has an annoying f@#$%n dog who barks and whines all F@#$^$ day every day, a kid who runs the neighbor hood naked every chance he gets, while you work third shift and have the nerve to call the cops on you when you come home for lunch at 3 am. Its war.

Sounds like you have decent neighbors. Most people, police included, need to blow off a little steam occasionally. Most like having a policeman as a neighbor for many reasons. A little noise 1 night is no big deal, Sounds like you all had a good time. I would probably apologize for the noise as I sploke with the neighbors when I saw them next.

Oh, and I am not "bragging" about my behavior. So please, lighten up.

me and a couple of my buddies were working on my son's dirtbike in my friend's garage. the intentions were good but after several beers we decided to do burnouts in the street on a vrod that was being stored at his house. eventually a law enforcment officer came by, he was probably 20 but he looked 16. we told him some sport bike guys rode by and tried to show off because they saw our harleys. the officer apologized and said if they come back to give him a call.
as far as drinking a few beers and riding???? why do people build bar hoppers? to drink iced tea? sheesh.
