RE: Loud pipes and neighbors
i have 2 nieghbors that ride and 1 that is getting a streetglide soon..them ones are cool with me..the people that live right next door i hate and aim my pipes at their house in the morning when i start it(long story dont want to explain but you would be on my side about it) the guy across the street told me his dogs go crazy when i start my bike i responded with "train your dogs to shut up then because im not gonna stop riding because your dogs" then 2 weeks later the tax assesor showed up at my house and reassesed me because of a garage to bedroom conversion i did with no permits..the assessor just happened to be the guy across the streets x-wife(how strange) my taxes went from $3,200 a year to $4,600 a year..it almost calls for a beating on the guy but that will get me nowhere..i never said anything to him and he never waved or said hello to me since the reassessment...he is feeling the guilt..now i rev the engine more on purpose.. oh yea almost forgot to mention i will be ordering v&h short shots real soon..he is gonna love them!!!!

aceofspades,
I live at the end of a cul-de-sac so have to pass all of the neighbors when leaving. I like where I live and want to keep it neigborly so don't intentionally rile em up. Sometimes we just reap what we sow.
Used to have a "dont give a chit" attitude but have mellowed with age.

speaking of letting the bike warm up... i was cruising through my manual for my 01 sporty xlc and considering im living in miserable spring sub 50 degree temps new england, the manual says my warm up procedure should consist of no more than 30 seconds sit time with the choke out after start up...then 3mi of riding with the choke fully out, followed by 2mi at half choke, then to normal idle (4-5 2001 sportster factory manual). It seems if we actually follow this guideline for us cool weather riders the neighboor issue shouldnt be a problem. Do these instructions also apply with stage 1 upgrades applied?

You also might want to get a bright orange target sewn on the back of your jacket as well.
