What a tossa calling you Sir for 1 thing and then having a go about the noise of your bike. Pity you dont know who it was and where they lived as then you could turn up out the front of its house revving the shit out of it at early hours of the morning then that would give him something to grizzle about.:2thumbsup:beer: Sounds like his a few sandwiches short of a picnic.

I guess the sound must reverberate around the basement quite a bit. Sometimes when I start my ute in an underground carpark, cars nearby have their alarms set off but the rumble. I think it sound awesome :2thumbsup: but I guess other people might not think so :girlfight:
At least they had the balls to sign it. U can now go talk to them face to face and explain to them that the bike is stock and that it's the basement that is tricking their ears
Otherwise, leave a note on their car. If it's a guy, write "Dear Madam" and write some stuff about while 'she' probably doesn't intentionally want to pollute the environment by driving a 1500kg lump of metal around unnecessarily with most of the petrol being used being to propel the car and not the person. It's Actual Pollution! :lol:

Yeah it is pretty loud in the basement, still though its only for about 30 secs at the longest!

This is when I should be honest and admit that it is pretty loud for an FXR. Almost no engine noise but induction noise is huge. It has a 250 carb on and it has no air box.... :whistle:

[I]Dear twat,

Please be aware that not all people are intolerant arseholes and although I understand that you are not deliberately "trying to be a cunt" this is really quite pathetic.

Should you not remedy this situation in a timely fashion I shall have no choice but to call da boys.

No no...

In cases like these you need to work on their level. Let me give an example:

If you know who it is and what is the car, then leave a note on there. If not, then leave the note visible on your bike.

Then write something like:

Dear....

After reading your note I got very upset. You see, I use the motorbike as a means of cheap transport as my income sadly does not support me driving a car like yours. But to read that I have disturbed you concerned me highly. I therefore took my bike straight away to VTNZ for a noise test. And to my surprise, bearing in mind your letter (did I mention how upset it made me?) I passed without any problems. Infact I learnt that I am 5 dB below the legal limit. This is good, as I will now be able to fit that Yoshimura exhaust I have been saving for racing only (and that gives me 15 more HP at the backwheel).

So thank you for making this possible.

And please do not feel guilty for making me upset. (I think I have already mentioned how upset I got?) As a show of gratitude I have contacted the authorities and mentioned to them that it might be appropriate and worth their while to spend some time outside this establishmenet on Friday evenings after the social events. After all we would not like anyone to break the law by not adhering to the current drink-drive laws now would we? Who knows, I might have saved the life of an innocent child by my actions!

Yours in abiding the law.

I park my bike in the basement below work. Tonight I went to get on my bike to go home and found a note had been taped on my bike that said the following:

Dear Sir,

I would like to advise you that your bike is too loud. I would like to suggest to you the following; either replace your new pipe with the standard pipe or replace the baffles in your pipe.

Please be aware that not all people are motorcycle enthusiasts and although I understand that you are not deliberately "disturbing the peace" this is noise pollution.

Should you not remedy this situation in a timely fashion I shall have no choice but to advise the authorities.

The bike that I commute on is an FXR150. It has the original pipe on it and all its baffles are intact. I do hope this person was taking the piss. I shall find out on Monday I guess!! :laugh:
Send the fuckwit round my way, then he'll think your bike is as quiet as a mouse :clap:

I'm on my third bike since I have lived here, all three have had after market pipes but the neighbours have only complained about this latest one :innocent:

All I do now is keep the revs down by keeping it in a higher gear, only had the one complaint so not too bad :niceone:

At the end of the day, loud pipes save lives, so stuff em I say. I just show people my scar & tell them how much titanium I have screwed to my hip from a young clown who was unable to hear me.

If its a piss take then its not really funny and if its for real this person sounds like some badly educated know it all with a chip on his/her shoulder. This loser needs a nice steaming mug of harden the F@rk up and get a life.

If I were writing your reply it would go a little something like this.....

To the winey over sensitive person this may concern.

Even though you feel you have made an expert appraisal of my motorcycle there are three things you have failed to notice.

1) I have a current warrant of fitness thus indicating that even if my exhaust was modified it is legal.

2) You really are nonconversant as my exhaust is 100% stock and legal

and

3) the owner is very obvoiusly not a sir

Your threats have lead me to believe that you are having a very bad day, have mixed me up with someone else or are jealous that you can't ride a motorcycle. Next time you wish to villify someone to improve your shitty existance then please kindly display your ignorance someplace else. As you have said nothing to my face I also believe you must me a bully and a coward. So go get a big black hairy dog up you.

Kind Regards

Ahhhhh now I feel better, dunno bout you.

Ignore it.

OR

Monday morning at work make a 'pretend' phone call to the police saying someone has been messing with your bike - make an 'official' complaint. Do it on a office phone that is next to the office gossip - when they ask, tell them someone has been leaving offensive material on your bike and you have notified the police.

I look forward to an update!

A legal bike with the original plate shouldn't really be getting this kind of attention. It seems to me that during an 8 hour day you might make a noise that annoys this prick for 1 minute and otherwise leave him in tranquil silence for 7h59m - bitching about that 1 minute is rather pathetic IMO.

I once drove a car with a loud exhaust (but legal) and had a neighbour complain to the police. I got a visit at work from a police officer and I explained to him that it was legal and not going to be changed, so he went away. I got a second visit and had another chat from him, he asked if it was possible for me to change to a stock exhaust - I explained that a stock exhaust was actually quite expensive and my aftermarket exhaust was cheaper and longer lasting, since my car was legal I had no intention of spending money to change it. I did however make a point of giving it more gas up my road every time, not to be mean but if a complaint to the police made me drive it more quietly then the neighbour would be likely to complain again if I didn't drive gently enough - I don't like to reward a silly bitch being a cunt either. I don't know how she coped with a neighbour mowing their lawn - I only travelled passed her house for a few seconds twice a day, and never at early or late times (9am & 5:30pm). I never got another visit from the cop and nothing bad ever happened to me over this.
