I have a neighbour (well, he lives 4 houses down the street) that seems to lack the same respect for other people.

At any our of the day, (he´s unemployed) he cranks up his Ha**ey with straight pipes.
Most often just fires it up, revs it 15 times, turns it off, wait ten minutes, does it all again.
Preferably at around 11 pm.

Or, fires it up, blips the throttle for 2 minutes, let it sit and idle, walks inside to get geared up, walks outside again and backs out on the street.
Blips the throttle all the time while backing out.
Snicks it into gear, or shall we say, more appropriatly, CLUNKS it into gear, and blasts up past my house on f-ing full throttle at midnight.

Being a biker myself, I don´t have anything against a bike making some niose.
But, when on a noisy bike I find it clever NOT to make the most noise on a small street with houses and families with kids all around!
And not at 11 to 12 pm!!

The thing is, he is the nicest guy otherwise, it´s just as if he doesn´t get that he is pissing people off with this behavior.




So, a small poll:

Is the guy

a)  so stupid he doesn´t get what he´s doing?
b) just evil?

Probably stupid. 

I have a Harley too and I live on a hill and I will actually coast down the hill before firing it up.  I don't understand how people can be so inconsiderate.  We once got a written complaint by a neighbor in our mailbox because we were up late the night before in the backyard making noise.  I was mortified and apologized to any neighbor I came across after that.
