Excuse are noise but it is the sound of freedom
Does this work better?

I'm just guessing here, but yours made no sense at all......

When I was doing my big bore, etc. on my bike, I buttoned it up at around 2am. I was a bit eager to start it, so I popped open the garage door, and tried to fire it up. I had not properly adjusted the front cylinder exhaust push rod (slightly open, not enough to damage anything), and the bike didn't run right, big backfire of gas in the pipes really loud.
I shut it down and waited till daylight to futz with it.
Saw my neighbor, and he mentioned he heard me trying to get the bike started. I began to apologize, but he stopped me to ask if I had gotten it straightened out! He was not mad in the least. Really a cool guy.

Got the sign in Jville too..
They do get a little loud sometimes flying over my place, 23 miles out of town. Not as loud as those Jets out of Seymour Johnson though.

agreed +1, i would've told him to go f*ck himself on the first meeting and i would make it a point to blip the throttle past his house every single time, probably even take my baffles out.
i've pushed my bike down the road a couple times when i needed to start it at like 3:00 AM but not because anyone told me too. other than that i don't care. my neighbors have screaming kids, barking dogs, lawn mowers and power tools going all weekend i don't make a stink, but the 30 seconds you hear my bike is a big deal? i'm getting a f*cking vein pulsing in my forehead just writing this.

I hope y'all can come to an understanding quickly, this happened to a friend of mine at a condo complex in Florida. He had been living there for about three months and had been butting heads with a similar guy and his guy quietly got himself elected as president of the HOA board and his first official act was to ban motorcycles from the property and had my friends bike towed for being in violation. He had to leave it off property while he fought it in court (about 18 months) and won because they have to grandfather him in since he was an existing owner when they passed the resolution. He used to be really considerate before but now he does not even try and parks it as close as he can to the complainers condo. The guy lost his position with the HOA because of all the money they lost paying all the lawyers. What a waste.
As a sec of a HOA is takes the whole board to pass any changes, not just the Pres... and even then they should contact the HO Management group who should know the laws or contact a lawyer to make sure they don't cross over into law suit issues.. as stated above...
It can happen real easy when trying to change the policy's of the HOA's.

i caught a break and there are at least 10 people on our street alone that have bikes and i work a night shift and get home around 12 in the morning and later. Granted this is this one who drives up and down the street at like 3 in the morning in a c5 corvette with straight pipes flooring the **** out of it.
