That does it.

I have the opposite problem, I dont think my neighbours are actually talking to me anymore, well not since I got the new bike. Apparently my bike is noisy and isn't appreciated warming up @ 10 to 8 in the morning before I leave to go to work.

You name the time and place and we can organise 50 bikes to go past his house and show him what fast is. Hell, I'll even donate a rear tire for his driveway, Im sure its ready for replacing. And those bloody exhaust bolts might be coming loose again, I would hate for it to get even noisier.

He doesnt know how good he's got it!!

[scumdog]

Here's what I would do. I'd write a letter to the guy, and drop it off in the guys box. It would have to be extremely calm, and not antagonizing.


Dear [insert name]
Following our conversation the other day, I would just like to reitterate that I have not been exceeding the speed limit near your house and because of our conversation the other day I will be watching my speed even more closely. If you want to discuss this further then please give me a call. But Please don't make any more threats.


Then, make a couple of copies of the letter. He'll probably believe your being more genuine, and it gives him a course of action (other than making more threats) he can actually talk to you.

One of the more sensible ideas, give it a shot.

Actually it is a really good idea. Except i doubt this guy knows how to read.(sorry but he irritated me). I think i'll just ignore him and tell the police (so they have on record) what he said. That way i really don't have to have anything more to do with him and if he does try something the police will have him on record for making a threat and so can act. I am not worried about him coming after me, cause i think he is all talk in that department (trying to scare the younger person styles but unfortunatly, don't know if it's a saffa thing, but threatening me just pisses me off more) but i am worried if he see's me coming and throws something in the road like a ball or whatever to "scare" me and i have an accident. It probably will never happen but it is sitting in the back of my mind. I will be reporting him and anyone else who decides to give me shit from now on and that will be the end of it.

Thats good - Whenever you ride near or down that street,ride to expect it
that way you will be ready if it does ever happen.

ive had the same problem with my car and old bike.
the two brothers exhaust on the old tl and the rice can on the bak of my car are both loud.
had the neighbours complain a couple times saying that ive been speeding and i havent its just that there loud vehicles.

one day i came home for lunch around the time of the school holidays so the prik must have been home. Got a ph call from the old man on my way back to work and apparently the guy was realy abusive to him and to pass on the message. ive never met the guy but i guess he likes to win his fights by 100 yards eh.

So when i went home i pulled in the clutch and coasted down the road at 7k rpm.
never botherd since. what a dick

Well went into the police station today and spoke witht his helpfull lady. She told me that if i made a formal complaint then we'd both get interviewed and if it was found he made a threat that i took to be real then he'd go to court etc etc etc. She also (after hearing what happened) said that it sounds like he is just envious and doesn't know what he is talking about. She was nice and helpfull and said if he tried anything silly then he would be in a whole heap of trouble . SOOO i have decided NOT to make a complaint but if he does anything else i will go back and make it formal. Middle aged people need to learn that you can't bully the younger generation (or those they think are young) into stuff because honestly it'll come back and bite you in the ass. .

[Mongoose]

PHAAARRRRK, 80bloodythree??? Hells bells, you could be one of mine for all I know . Pity you were too young to appreciate the eighties

[scumdog]

...have a beer with you

Does that mean you were: (a) born in '83, (b) turned 30 in '83 or (c) you just like having a beer in fine company?

Could do with one now, it's 23 degrees and I've just finished a 5km run but I start work in 45 minutes so I'll take a raincheck on that beer until we meet Blakamin ,
