Nosey people!

[iwilde]

99% of the population is going to side with your neighbour. Go see him, explain why you did it, introduce yourself properly and maybe appoligise. The world is to small to make enemies with your neightbours, yet apart from selfish pride youve only got things to gain by smoothing things over.

Agree 100%. Go talk to him at a better time, he may be a shift worker trying to catch some sleep during the day. You also might find out a suitable time to test your bike. Communication is a lost art these days, I blame it on txting, emailing, playstation and bloody computers (ironic, I know).

I had this problem with neighbours when I was younger as well, and still do on the odd occasion. However I'm over 6 ft and 100 kg's with fire arms and a reputation for delivering sage revenge to those who invade my life.

Communication is indeed a lost art, but to communicate effectively you have more than the limited medium of language - you also have violence and the raw emotion of FEAR.

War has been declared and by rights of an unspoken unity you are drafted as a soldier to battle the ever present enemy - the NOSEY FUCKEN NEIGHBOUR !!

Stand tall my comrade, fight proud and persist with victory, your actions today will in future make it easier for our children and childrens children to exercise their right of enjoying pure and honest FUN without the burden of foresight and social responsibility.

Do us proud, son.

And what's this shit about insurance?

You don't worry about that sort of nonsense until your middle aged and so riddled with lifes insecurities that you try to cacoon yourself in a padded room of insurances, family trusts, policies and all that other senseless bullshit.

in my mind i was thinking of using a few coarse words to say then backed off when i realised he knows where i live now.

but i think when i get a road legal bike i will sit out by his house revving me bike till hes annoyed to my satisfaction.

Gee, and I hope when you gain a bit of responsibility (if that ever happens) and buy a house, some arsehole like you ruins their peace and quiet. If you want to do things that could potentially annoy your neighbours, expect them to not be impressed! And when you fall off, also expect them NOT to help you up again.

[KATWYN]

so i put it to you guys why do people have to be nosy and ruin peoples fun???

Yes, one incident with me, was going for a run with my dog on the beach. He was off the lead under my control, on a dog friendly beach (confirmed to me by dog control afterwards btw) - I was loving running along the beach destressing as one does on the beach after work.

and this old man with a carpet rat dressed in a little tarten jacket, hooked into me stating this rule and that rule and how much this fine and that fine will be...anyway...it got worse, but we won't go there (irrelevent)

He ruined my time on the beach afterwards thats for sure

Out of curiousity I asked dog control about the incident - she said the guy was just being a twaat and actually had no idea what he was talking about.

She (dog control officer) also has a similar type of dog to mine and said she was on the beach once walking her dog minding her own business and some random "do gooder" lady comes up to her and read her the riot act about the local dog control laws etc etc and the dog control officer said she took great delight telling the stirrer to butt out of her business and did she know she WAS actually the districts dog control officer ! good job I reakon

Nah, don't agree with that, not 99% (yet). But the world is increasingly full of intolerant fuckwits who believe that their 'rights' take precedence, and there is no negotiating with them. ?

Ya know - I'll bet thats what the neighbour that complained thinks as well...

[SwanTiger]

The young fella does not need to learn responsibility, the neighbour in question needs to learn some tollerance.

Everybody has the right to live how they see fit, however excessive or consistent disruption is considered abuse of this right.

I can go and mow my lawns which takes 1 - 2 hours on a ride on, and it is quite noisy. The neighbours accept this, as they have to mow their lawns at some stage, which takes a similar length of time.

The lawns don't get mowed every day, usually once a week or every fortnight.

That is tollerance.

A kid on his bike wanting to have fun is reasonable, if he goes up and down the road a couple of times, spending no more than 10 - 20 minutes doing so that's perfectly acceptable.

A couple of "laps of the block" to get the "fix" is fine, once or twice a week.

To spend 1 - 2 hours every day is not.

Our neighbours up the back have 2 or 3 parties a month (on the weekends) with a few friends out on the deck, having a BBQ, laughs and loud talking, etc. They usually go for 4 - 6 hours. They obviously enjoy themselves and it's their way of finding entertainment and satisfaction in life.

That's reasonable, I get sick of the occasionaly loud outburst of laughter or talking but you live with it.

Now, 2 or 3 parties a WEEK would be a different story, or a party every night is even worse.

Making sense? Yes of course it makes sense.

The world is fucked. Then again, what can you expect from a species who can't tolerate the colour of someone elses skin let alone their chosen lifestyle.

Neighbour of mine used to own dirt track bikes and would on occasion test his latest tuning effort up the road and back. I was reasonably sympathetic but apparently not everybody else was.

He learned the hard way that he could only have one run up and down the hill, if he did a second one the HP car had time to arrive...

thats exactly what i think, its not like i kept going up and down the road non-stop it was only up and down once.

my bike would make less noise than a boy racers car that goes past.

i don't see this guy target them or chase them down the road.

[Chrislost]

Why are there so many people that like to stick their noses in other peoples businesses.

its seems in the last five years people have got really bad at it.

the last two days i took my bucket bike (not road legal) up my street and back again (no cars down our street at midday on a weekday). because i have no other bike and i was having withdrawl symptoms from the racing on sunday.

the first day a guy at the end of the street came out and gave me the evils (scary stuff wish i had tints), then the next day he followed me home in his cage and and gave me a blasting about the fines i would get and about how i was an idiot for riding without wof and reg (man only going up and down our street), then said he would call the cops if i did it agian. (could be looking out for me or just hates bikes)

i knew if i was caught by cops they would give me a $400 fine for no rego and warrent, but only if they caught me but now hes on their side ive got no choice but to do nothing.

why do people have to be so pc and dob people in for reasons not worth while, i mean yes if i was flying down the street at 200 with no helmet on, but i would not be here to write the post anyway.

and whats it to him if my bike doesn't have a warrent, its not like im taking it out for a road trip.

so i put it to you guys why do people have to be nosy and ruin peoples fun???

look on the bright side, torch his car slash his tyres and throw fireworks at his house, jsut be careful not to leave anything that links back to you (footprints and fingerprints included)
then ride up and down the street to your hearts content.

nothing to it really...

You don't worry about that sort of nonsense until your middle aged and so riddled with lifes insecurities that you try to cacoon yourself in a padded room of insurances, family trusts, policies and all that other senseless bullshit.

yea i can just see your post ......some prick totaled my bike today and he doesnt have insurance buts thats ok because....the present time is the only thing you will ever own, not the past or the future.

GOOD LUCK WITH THAT

[Toaster]

My WOF is hidden behind the plate... never had anyone query it. I figure that if I like riding then the WOF and REG need to be paid up so ACC can cover the hospital bills when some numpty knocks us off our rides because they were texting and didn't see us.
