I can relate somewhat to the OP. When we still lived "up north" our across the street neighbors had Harley's. For some reason they thought it was a great idea to start them up (revving) and then let them idle until they left the house. Like early morning around 4:30 or 5:00 a.m. I wrote them a letter, placed it in their mailbox AND signed it as I felt it was proper to do that. They stopped this new "habit"!!! I said something in effect, that while they loved to ride these to work it wasn't friendly or thoughtful to do this to their neighbors. Our b.r. window was kitty-corner from their drive-way....it was summer...we had our windows opened. I hope the OP can find a peaceful resolution to this conundrum.

I appreciate the kind words.

Any Harley motorcyclist will counter with the phrase “ loud pipes save lives “. It does make sense to them and they want others to agree. I say, if you care about your life that much, don’t ride a motorcycle. Makes sense to me.

I ride Harley Davidson motorcycles and I love the loud (not straight unbaffled) pipes. Been riding 51 years and I was a Certified Rider Coach for 5 years. The nasty comments about us riders come from unhappy people who want everyone to think and act like them.

"knucklehead" Nicely played.:BigApplause:

You really don't think being woke up by loud noises early in the morning has anything to do with it? :mornincoffee:

Seriously, you love loud pipes and you want everyone to love loud pipes ? If they don’t, that makes them unhappy ?
Reread what you wrote.

Seriously, try working on your reading comprehension. You can start with basic time telling. So for your "re-read": I'm making a request. A sincere one. Now go back to your studies and take your nonconstructive cynicism to another thread.

I agree. There's no need for them and they are uncalled for. I most certainly did not create the thread for the negativity. Some of you need to lighten up. I'm just asking a fellow Villager for some 6:07-6:15 consideration. This post has served its purpose. I won't be coming back to read or reply anymore. For those that understood, thank you.

For the record: I am a patched member of a national public safety chartered m/c, up until I moved to Florida. I owned a 1700cc V-twin with stage 2 pipes. Cool pipes are part of the image. But no pipes, noisy included, "save lives". But as a life long riding enthusiast I am also considerate of my neighbors. This thread has served it's purpose. I won't be back to reply or read from it. There are two constants that are present in this situation where I can address this matter on my own.

Ride safe friends.

The garbage truck wakes me up twice a week also at 6:15. I don't mind though as it's time to get up anyway while it's still cool outside. I enjoy early morning dog walks before others are out there and tea on the lanai before sunrise when we get back.. That will all change in a couple weeks when we set back the clocks.

Good that you don't live on a golf course and have to listen to the noisy mowers going back and forth every morning 15 minutes before the bike wakes you.
