Neighbour's noise complaint?

[vr4king]

Been through this

Neighbours didnt like us riding called the council they were told they cant act on it,this was before even contacting me
Then they came over and told me to stop it as they moved to the country for the quiet i told them i moved here to ride my bikes hahahahaha......But i did tell them if they ever wanted me to stop come over and ask and i will no probs,They said they shouldnt have to so dead end after some heated debating they said how about if we want you to stop we will let you know..........Go fiquire
Long story short they didnt have a leg to stand on even with the noise controll as we dont ride at night and i spoke to the noise controll and they told me not to worry about anything
They moved out in the end hahahahaha new neighbour is mint its almost a comp now who can make the most noise as he owns a top fuel drag car of course this is all done at respectible hours

TELL YOUR PARENTS TO TELL THEM TO FUCK OFF if they want to

One idea i have is have say your brother riding on the noisier of the two bikes and go up the road and measure what the actual sound output is. It maybe good to actually see what the noise level is for yourself. Don't be onesided though, there obviously not bikers.
They are plonkers for sure if they haven't introduced themselves nicely and complained instead of asking nicely about the noise.
Good luck

Buy 2 smokers - they may be louder close up but the sound don't travel as far ....

Sell both of the bikes, and put the money towards knitting needles and sewing patterns.

Or

Tell 'em "FUCK"

We had the same problem at my old flat. We built a lil track and were surrounded by horse people like cambridge in one street lol. It got quite heated and now can only ride their every so often

We have non motorbike neighbours and we respect their right to a bit of piece and quiet so we only ride for a limited time with good breaks and try to keep it in frequent and not while they are eating or entertaining friends etc. Just like you guys.

They have no right to tell you to stop just like you can't dictate to them when and if they can mow their lawns or use a chainsaw.
We also have horses and they learn to get out of the road pretty qiuckly.

Play their game, enjoy the attention and give them a friendly wave

So i am thinking that we contact the council tomorrow to find out any noise regulation in our area and then next time we ride one of us can go up and have a listen, if it is pretty loud then i may have a chat with them about it, but its there fault for moving there as they are surrounded by 4 motocross tracks, haha. apparently when my parents were talking to them the neighbours only had one solution and that was for us to stop riding so if i talk to them again and they can't be reasonable then i will have to tell them to Fuck Off.

this was the problem with a track up the road that held events and then the complaints started to come in so the council started to crack down on them so they are limited to when they can ride which i don't want because i couldn't handle other people dictating when im allowed to ride.

There is a big difference, between a track, and riding around in your own back yard.
so long as your considerate, not blatting around at 10 oclock at night, I can't see a problem.
Tell them to go get F**ked.

[supa.m]

Go to Bunnings or Mitre 10, buy a box of 89c earplugs and gift them to the neighbours then enjoy the riding, in a respectful way of course.......

how loud is their lawnmower???, next time they cut the grass go and complain

[oldskool]

Can I ride on your property. Promise I\we'll keep the noise down?

Hi guys, iv'e just been out riding around my lifestyle block out Muriwai only to stop and see some neighbours that we have never met before come and complain to my parents about the noise from the motorbikes. they were saying that they were going to be making a complaint to the council about us,but i can't see what there problem is as we have only ridden on our place about 4 times this year and only ever for about an hour at a time. The neighbours arn't even ones on our boundry they would live at least 500 meters away.

I am just wondering what i should do to resolve this with them and also what rights i have in reguards to it all with noise control.

Forget about your rights and learn to get on with your neighbours

Pissing neighbopurs off and going to war with them usually ends up in a stalemate where both parties lose and get pissed off

Talk to your neighbours and find out exactly what their problem is and sort out a workable compromise where you get to enjoy yourself and they don't get agrievated

I'd say their quiet country lifestyle isn't what they expected it to be.

I'd say consider their feelings, but unless you really feel like you are pushing the boundaries of taste and decency, then I reckon they need to get over themselves.

Particularly if 500 metres is an accurate measure ffs! A small group of motorcycles could probably be closer to them legally on the road and make as much noise.

Could always try and negotiate a time when it's ok with them. If they're listening to you fanging around with no idea of when it'll end it could get annoying for them, but if you say 'I'm gonna be riding between X and X is that ok?' they might be fine with it.

and by the way............can you get the cows to Moo between the hours of.........
