imprez55 Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 Wow, clearly someone is beyond reasoning and it surely isn't the biker. My advice would be to put a stock exhaust on the bike (if possible) and see if he could log an official complaint against the neighbor or something or that nature. It is clear that the "war veteran" is unstable and is willing to do some sort of harm so it would be best to have it on record that you have tried to mitigate the situation and he is beyond reasoning. If he has 4 bikes, he should be more understanding that they do make noise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kawi kid Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 I had my neighbor issues. I found the best way to deal with am old fuck like that is confront them face to face.

MidgetTodd Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 I bring it old man, make me open one of the 4 safes. That being said, I don't own one of those gay ass loud straight piped Harley's and can't stand em either. And it does seem all the retards that do own em have to rev the piss out of em non stop. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigd Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 I'd seriously see if I could bounce off the rev limiter more often than not. That bike would be WOT day and night from there on out. Dude's typed response was more than cordial - shit, rolling it to the street before is more than cordial.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disclaimer Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 I think the handwritten letters are a nice touch, to add that little spice of 'extra craziness'.Though I prefer the magazine cutout-style. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

attentiongetter92 Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 My neighbors complained one time about my bike, to solve this issue I moved my bike to the sidewalk farther away from MY house and about 30ft closer to theirs. I think they understand that them being ride about it helped their cause none. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harb67 Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 (edited) Where's Paul Harvey? I want the rest of the storyAsk and ye shall receive.This is the guy who got the notes:That's a 2000 Harley Heritage. With Thunderheader pipes. Youtube Thunderheaders, and you'll probably be able to empathize a bit with the neighbor.Some of the last comments made by the OP include:"They are, I was foolish to not think about how they would sound in areas with echo. They came on the bike.""My goal would be to find a way to compromise with him. I live near a road that goes straight to the county, which is where I do most of my riding. But if the pipes have to change for neighborhood peace, so be it. I'm not married to their sound."Sounds like understanding and compromise may prevail.And now you have...the rest of the story. Good day. Edited May 5, 2012 by Harb67 soapbox added, then removed. I'll keep things factual for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sporttour Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 Not knowing the noise level it is impossible to say who is wrong. With that said, if you run a stock exhaust you should have no issues. If you want to be obnoxiously loud, you get everything that comes your way. Respect is a two-way street. I don't want to hear loud motorcycles, cars, trucks, whatever. The sooner measurable, enforceable noise laws are put in place the better. If asshats with straight pipes had a brain and some respecy, noise ordinances and motorcycle bans would have no need to exist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentracer Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 common courtesy goes a long way. I guarantee any of you would hate to hear that thing all the time even if it is for the few min he's getting ready to leave. those loud ass pipes are the most annoying things on the planet.I want to shoot everyone that has them. I hate starting my bike up in the mornings to go riding. I go all the way down the driveway as far away from the building (condo) as I can. I know how annoying it might be to others.

Gixxus Christ! Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 Straight pipe harleys do sound fucking awful, and the losers that ride them do seem to rev them constantly, probably so they can enjoy the noise they paid $5000 too much for. I will say tho, stock exhausts do generally sound and breathe like shit, never kept stock pipes on any of my bikes, bit I also don't run open pipes. Guess they're both jack-offs. His bike looks like the rhinestone cowboy fucked a tractor on a Ouija board and conceived the shiniest, gayest, loudest turd EVAH! Bet he has a bitchin bandanna collection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
