How loud to too loud to be considered a noise ordinance violation?

People can mow their yard properly AND not load it with chemicals. That's most most people do. I'm not sure where that correlation came from anyways. I just simple want my asshole of a neighbor to make one pass with his riding mower the opposite direction, or after he is finished mowing, simply blow it back into his yard. It's just a common courtesy i thought. I doubt it's going to happen though. His hedges at the edge of their driveway start hanging out in the streets so far a pickup truck can't get through without hitting them, so I go up there with the electric hedge trimmers and trim them nice and crooked. Apparently he can't get the hint on that one either.

They were writing fines for leaving the water on while wiping down the car. How do you measure that, how long can you leave it running? Same situation and they made it work. Nevada used to have laws where if the water ran into the street, you were using too much. That's like asking how much is considered littering? You can throw out a cigarette butt, but what about a gum wrapper, or tissue paper? It all goes by judgement.

The same way California writes violations for using too much water during drought periods. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/a-500-car-wash-new-california-fines-for-wasting-water-take-effect/

MSF Advanced RiderCourse

There is an Advanced Rider Course in Parkersburg, WV (The city where I work) 9/30/17 and another on 10/21/17. Both still have 12 open spots. I'm not sure how far it is from you. The class is right off Rt 77.

I was very tempted to go out there at 2am with my leaf blower and send it all down in front of their garage door. i'm sure they would love having their kids woke up at 2am.

We have a Village Ordinance against it and if I am not mistaken, there is a County Ordinance as well. It causes issues with the drains and it's dangerous. This neighbor has been trying to move for awhile, they're the type that just wants to keep up with the Joneses and are in debt up to their eyeballs.

I was just scrolling through our Ozark Trip photos. I hope all is going well Jerry...

I know this may sound insensitive, but the statistics don't change my stance on not wanting to change things. Let it be, and natural selection will take it's place. I try to prepare myself with protection gear for the worst. I don't think forcing people to follow guidelines on what bike to start on or if they wear a helmet is gonna fix idiotic nature.

Date codes are only one factor of many when considering a tire's quality/life expectancy. Many other factors such as temperature where stored, how long have they been stored, have they been sitting in sunlight, have they been in a humid shed, have they been off the wheel, on the wheel, sitting with water in them, etc. This is why you check a tires physical condition (hardness, signs of cracking, loss of shape, odd coloring, etc) I just had a bike on the lift this weekend that had tires with a 2009 date code. Guess what, they looked perfectly fine and they guy was railing corners on a Goldwing with them. I understand you're trying to help, but this topic has been beat to death lately. People need to worry less about date codes and more about tire pressure. That is the #1 cause for premature tire wear or poor handling.

You would think so. I have asked repeteadly and nicely to my neighbors to not blow the grass in the yard. Instead of listening, they are doing it more deliberately.

My neighbors are assholes. Luckily I just worked on the local police officer's R1, so I texted him this. He said he will have it taken care of.

Beer? Hell with that, pass the Rum.

What performance mod is the #1 seller? Exhaust. They wanna look and sound cool. You would be surprised how many don't have a proper tune or power commander to accommodate their completely open, cat deleted exhaust.

Honestly though, who buys a cruiser for performance? I've ridden a 100+ HP bagger, it's too much for the stock suspension and brakes. Most cruiser riders are completely content running at or below the speed limit. As long as it looks cool, they're happy.

He says it's a "Man's Truck"

Well I kinda forgot I am busy Sunday, my mom's 50th birthday party. Saturday is showing an early afternoon showers. I will see if the forecast changes and post up later this evening.

Congrats on the new bike!

One of the 2 days I will probably ride up to Iron Pony. I need to look for some cold weather gloves.

So...Is anyone coming down to the good SEO roads this weekend or am I gonna have them all to myself?

As some of you know, my dad and I change motorcycle tires. We have changed roughly 50 or so this year and have seen some real sketchy tires, but this one takes the cake. The owner ran the tire until it wore through chords and blew out at about 50 mph. It took both lanes for him to get the bike slowed down. Luckily no traffic. The owner is currently going through a divorce and was strapped for cash so he couldn't afford a tire, but instead of just parking the bike, he kept riding. Luckily his coworker gave him a decent used tire and we installed it. Regardless, risking your life to get a little more miles out of a tire isn't worth it. I will gladly change a tire free of charge, and most likely even have a used tire to get you some more miles, if you need it. It's not worth getting hurt over or destroying your bike. I know many of us have rode tires down to chords, it's not a fun time.

@RidersDiscount can hook you up with some awesome deals on riding pants. I got some Tourmaster Venture Air pants from him and they were a heck of a deal.

I've been to Hatfield McCoy several times and I would want a dedicated dirt bike for it. You can get into some pretty nasty stuff down there.
