I told the lady next door that I was a little concerned about starting my bike every morning at 7. I don't want to wake up her young kids and always start up and idle down-hill out of the area.

She said they are always up by then and "Actually, whenever I hear a motorcycle it makes me happy, because I know that someone is going to start their day by doing something they love."

I knew I liked her for some reason

Dude rings the doorbell later that night,finally introduces himself as "Rick"(rhymes with...)and hands me some printout about some neighbors having a conflict and the "Dude" with the motorcycle agrees to push the bike down the street and then start it.This guy just won't give up.Just happened to run into an officer later that day and he laughed and said don't pay any attention to the guy.It has been waves and smiles from pretty much all the other neighbors.
Good thing I didn't set up my drums!
There is one of these in every "hood". The best advice I can offer is to play by the rules and do not give him or others a legal reason to enforce any statute or home owner type deal. Do not give people like this the bullets to shoot you with.

As tough as you are, you ain't bulletproof.

Just sayin'....be careful about pushing crazy folks over the edge.

It has happened before.

Ignore him. But going over there to antagonize him is bad ju-ju.

I had a similar incident with a neighbor who came running out of his house yelling at me while I was cleaning up after mowing, using my leaf blower. It was mid day and the guy was having a meltdown over the leaf blower noise. And he lived 2 doors down. I more or less told him to f**k off. And that was that.
