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.

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

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.

Can you cut me a break brother and maybe go straight onto Morse instead of making that turn? You wake me up every morning you ride by onto Stillwater.

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.
