My neighbors are pretty cool for the most part. I do have one neighbor that likes to show her dissaproval with her kids. Whenever I take the bike out of the garage she tells the kids, "remember: don't be scared. The motorcycle is really loud but nothing to be scared of." As soon as I fire it up, the little boy comes running right for me.
I also only let the scoot idle long enough for me to close the garage door and idle out of our subdivision.

Guess some of you are lucky that you never lived near me. In my old house when my friends came over we would lite up the tires on our bikes and street racing cars all the time and had poker games in the garage with loud music till 3 in the morning. Never a complaint or a cop called. Now that I am in the new house I've been told that my truck with it's hemi (pretty loud) sounds great and the neighbor down the street (met him in the bar a couple weeks ago) said he loved the sound when my truck goes by his house. Same thing with the bike, neighbors said it sounds great and to the point that one of my neighbors ran out and got a bike. He also threw an exhaust on his car but its barely half as loud as my truck.
I'm about ready to start ragging out MY neighbor (the ONLY other guy in the development with a Harley). I'm very respectful and idle in/out, usually trying to stay in 2nd gear so it's quieter. This ASSHAT who lives 6 houses down from me thinks nothing of firing up his obnoxiously loud bike (sometimes @ 7am on Sundays), letting it idle in his driveway for at least FIVE minutes, then BARRELING out of the development trying to attract as much attention as he can. It seems like the more people there are outside, the more noise he tries to make. This is a nice quiet neighborhood with a HOA and my concern is that before long, someone is gonna make a move to restrict Harleys/loud pipes.
I'm gonna be really pissed if this attention-***** causes trouble with the HOA...

I've got a neighbor who is a pain in the *** to. They used to take pictures of everything that went on at my house. Family, friends, A/C man, trash truck, motorcycle friends...didn't matter, they got pics of everything. Took them to court, got a one year restraining order and so far I think it has stopped.
If I sell you their house you won't hear any complaints from me!
In the mean time, if you want us to come visit sometime just say the word. We'll ride over and idle in the parking lot while you get ready to ride somewhere with us. I'll bring at least 3 others.
Meathead might learn to keep quiet about one bike then.

The guy has already shown himself to be unbalanced. Poking the bear could cause problems nobody wants.
What if he has a gun and flips out?
Serious things to condsider before you push the guy to insanity.

Wow this dude would not last 2 days where I live. It's a nice place and we all get along, but alot of us make alot of noise at some point in the day LOL! My bike is super loud, my 72 Nova makes some nosie, the guy across the street always has bikers over, loud diesel trucks and semi's and the one strange dude likes to play his crappy music all the time outside and lots of Braking dogs. We all just put up with eachother as we all make nosie.
I would just tell the guy as nice as you can to STFU! and you will ride and run your bike when you want. You pay to live there just liek he does so you have the right to have ther bike there.

I'm 48, I think we grew up in the same neighborhood. Are you talking about those one level brick homes near McKinley School? I grew up in the house right across the road from that old folks home, near the path that leads to McKinley. I miss CT at times...but not the high prices and cold weather. lol
