Hi guys.
I am having a problem with one of my neighbors so I thought I'd leave a little note on his bike. YOU choose whidh one I should use:

#1 POLITE NOTE

Hello,
I was wondering if I could ask you something. When you ride in or out of the complex could you please take it a
bit easier? Your bike is very loud, especially with the radio added and all the throttle blipping makes it even more
so. I get up for work at 4:30 am so I go to bed pretty early and your bike is right under my window.

I'd appreciate anything you could do regarding this matter.
Thanks
Steve

#2 NOT SO POLITE NOTE

Hello friend,
Yes we all know you have a bad ass HOG and we have all heard your truly AWESOME pipes. And when you go Full Tilt Bozo and add your radio, well I must say the results are truly mind bending. It's not like we can't hear you coming from 3 miles away. You may have the loudest bike in Hayward. And when you use your creedo of "NEEDS MORE COWBELLS!!" they can probably hear you in San Leandro as well.
Well, I enjoyed your entrance last evening so much I jotted down a transcript of the event.
Here goes:
RRRRRAAAAWWWWWWRRRRRR..."RUNNING WITH THE DEVILLLLLL...." potato potato potato...VROOM VROOM... potato potato...VROOM VROOM VROOM...potato potato potato potato...VROOM VROOM...potaVROOM...potato...click. " Dumm dee dum.." ( you humming)... BLARP! ( burp/ fart)..Klink, rattle rattle ( lock chain)... BOOP BOOP! ( alarm) BURP! ( Self explanatory)
Wow ! What a symphony!!! However I do have one question...
WTF????!?!/
You DO realize you live in an APARTMENT complex. NOBODY here gives a flying FUCK about you or your ear bleedingly loud piece of crap bike. I mean, once I saw your ride I knew you weren't the sharpest tool in the shed, what with the touring package combined with the ape hangers straight out of the Spanish Inquisition, but hell, a 12 year old would have more sense than blasting up and down the driveway making the racket you do. And what's with all the throttle blipping? Is your right hand epeleptic? Does it have Parkinsons? Or is it possessed like in "Evil Dead" and the only way you can keep it from strangling yourself is to keep it wrapped tightly on the grip? I know it doesn't do the motor any good. And try to remember you are entering and leaving a driveway. This isn't Sturgess or Daytona Beach. See? That's why I don't do wheelies on my way in or out of the complex. Believe me, no one is impressed by your 800 lb penis extension. Is this the result of your mom not allowing you to have a Schwinn Stingray when you were a kid?
Anyway, all kidding aside,( and I'm not kidding), keep the racket down or I may have to start doing burnouts under YOUR bedroom window at 5am.
Remember the proverb," Don't shit where you sleep."

All the best
Your neighbor.

So, what do you think? Polote or not polite?
Later

hahaha, nah slash the tires and call it a day! If you go with option 1 and it doesn't work, you can't do anything incognito cause it'll know it's you. lol
Do not tell him where you sleep!
Seriously though, try to catch him and talk to him face to face. Hopefully He understands. I've got kid who has a GXSR, same thing minus the radio. He goes 40 mph and bleep like he's starting a motogp race, shorts and no helmet! lol

Leave a nice note. If no satisfaction, do what someone at an apartment complex did to my bike... Cut the throttle cables. It was loud and I left the place early and under an awning with an open pipe making that racket.

Rewrite the note and say something about cable cutting, if no compromise happens and say that 'do unto others' line. Half nice, half is call the police and say you want to have the cops park at said leaves for that routine time and write up a noise ticket or something.

Hi,

Love the sound of a h-d, but not when I'm trying to sleep. I don't want to get involved with another biker, but a courtesy to your neighbors might stop someone from cutting your throttle cables. I would never touch another person's bike so do not worry about me. I worry about the others that may have had enough.

I hear there is a plot to have the cops park someplace, hear you start up and pull you over for noise. If you can keep it down, I'll let the neighbor know not to take this action, let me write it out plan and simple.

Signed,

NOLTT were are my diagonals?

Always worked for me.

both notes suck. my note. Hey cocksucker you start that piece of shit 1 more time and wake me up I'm GOING TO FIX IT PERMANENTLY thank you sir.

BUT I DON'T BELIEVE IN NOTES

Just Cut the Brake Line and Wait for the BOOM!!!

Just go bang his old lady in the buckeye and never return her calls.

That'll sizzle his ass!

LOL I don't dare complain about anyone's noise. I take off as quietly as I can but I know some of the neighbors are pissed just listening to it idle for 2 minutes. The girl upstairs can scream at her kid and have sex above me at 2 am for 2 hours without stopping but I can't really say anything, can I?

I don't have a problem warming the bike up below her window at 6:45 either.

a little expandable foam deep in the exhaust pipe will leave him baffled.

Haha! You guys rock. Hagrid, I read what you wrote and I think I threw up in my mouth a little.
So he decided to go out for a pack of smokes or some shit last night at 12.35am and instead of using his nice quiet Toyota Camry, he fires up the bucket of junk. Comes home at 1:25 am and my wife met him and asked him to try to not make so much noise in the middle of the night. He said he was sorry. Sounded like he was afraid of her. Hell, I"M afraid of her. But that' s one of the reasons I married her. She's pretty fearless. Funny thing is I didn't even know she had gone outside..Ninja woman.
We'll see how it goes from here. May end using some or all of your ideas...

You know what they say..."loud pipes save lives"....(fuck the neighbors though;) ).And they think SPORTBIKERS give riding a bad nameLOL!!!!

Honestly...I think your problem has been solved....buy her a steak dinner or somethin;)

I vote for a combination of expanding foam and Hey you cocksucker!!!

Really like the foam idea the best, never heard that one before!

So, the guy has actually been a bit better. No radio, less blipping. Anyway, he leaves for the day yesterday with the wife in their Camry and has the Hog parked and locked in his spot. At 9pm I hear them arrive;

Rattle rattle, ( lock)
SHIT! FUCK! GODDAMMIT ! MOTHER F...
What happened? ( wife)
SOME MOTHER FUCKER SCREWED WITH MY BIKE!!!
What did they do?
( Incomprehensible mumbling and stomping around) I think I know who did it.
Who?
I'll tell you in a minute.
( Starts bike and moves it out of the way of their car. And is fairly quiet about it!)
If I see that fucker mess with my bike again I'm gonna SHOOT him!!!!

Sooo, I'm going to be inspecting MY bikes for any tampering in case he thinks I messed with his scoot. Which would be pretty stupid since I signed the nice note I left him and I know he has a close circuit camera trained on the pile.
If he touches any of my bikes, then IT'S ON M-FER!!!!!
I did get a chuckle. I guess there is more than one person who doesn't like all the racket he makes!

Mad

Good that things have quieted down. Treating others how I would like to be treated under similar circumstances usually works for me... Positive approaches will always elicit more effective changes and behavior than negative, be it with children, dogs and other animals, or loud, inconsiderate neighbors...

Knut; Then you've never had neighbors like I have.

There is a harley rider on my block, and he is always blipping his throttle too. I figure it's just part of the billy-bad-ass-biker stuff they pick up from each other, along with the pissed-off look like they're constipated, riding with their feet up on the highway pegs (berthing position) and never, ever waving to riders not on harleys.
