It seems to run okay! And I get the whole customization thing, but it's just rude AF to run that loud in the neighborhood. It would be like me pulling in his driveway and laying on the horn. Several times a day.Sounds like he's afraid of going too far on it
Wonder if the cops would do a neighbor courtesy noise complaint for you, without divulging your name or location?Hi guys. Not a biker here, but thought I would seek some insight. I've got a neighbor with what appears to be a highly customized, stretched out bagger, what I'm guessing to be at least a 26" front wheel. He lives a couple doors down and appears to be maybe in his 40's or so.
This guy goes out and runs his bike past my house and around the neighborhood behind me, just majorly getting on the throttle. It's LOUD. I mean to the point where it drowns out our tv inside the house, let alone the one out on the back deck.
I would say that he might be working on his motor and wanting to test his latest adjustment or something, but I hear him coming back from these "test runs" with his stereo cranked up almost as loud as his bike.
Am I just being a grumpy old man about this? I'm thinking he's going through his mid-life crisis and that maybe he's overcompensating for something.
We're like 5 minutes from 465. I'd be all for him just getting out there and ripping it up all he wants, either to Emerson on the east or Harding on the west.

I don't think there are any during the times that he does it. I guess I should be thankful that he doesn't do it late at night. It's mostly a daytime thing. And it's not something I'd call the cops over anyhow. Just an annoyance really, but I wondered if bike guys would think that way or that maybe they could explain why it's a thing.Wonder if the cops would do a neighbor courtesy noise complaint for you, without divulging your name or location?
I'm assuming there must be some noise level laws there?

FIFY.If you don't have respect for your own neighbors you must really be adouchebagfag.
The broken Harley in my garage has a bell given to me by the previous owner. The Honda I ride daily does not. I do not believe the bell has anything to do with either of these scenarios.
I love the general stealthiness of my wing, as well as the growl the boxer 6 makes when I really get on it.He is a rude jerk.
Me, I would be happy to have a bike so quite I hear the chain and the shift linkage. But I'm on the other end of the spectrum when it comes to making noise. I don't get the whole thing about the big speakers and ultra loud bikes.
I've never understood the allure of having just two big cylinders.I love the general stealthiness of my wing, as well as the growl the boxer 6 makes when I really get on it.
Lots of low end torque. Jim.I've never understood the allure of having just two big cylinders.
I agree the music that loud is disrespectful to your neighbors and if he's rev bombing. Some exhaust are loud and I understand but also there's no need to be as loud as possible in your neighborhood. I try to be as quite as possible but I know it's still pretty annoying when I roll in late.Hi guys. Not a biker here, but thought I would seek some insight.
