    Apparently I am going to shit on him.

    Or, should I say... "Take a Pooh on him"?

    Leave them a note.

    [I]Dear twat,
    I would like to advise you that your whinging is too annoying. I would like to suggest to you the following; either replace your attitude with a reasonable one or shut the fuck up.

    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.

    Kind regards

    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.

    Just make sure that if you do write a note, you begin with Dear Madam...

    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.

    Yours Sincerley

    *name changed to protect identity.

    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!!
    Send the fuckwit round my way, then he'll think your bike is as quiet as a mouse

    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

    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

    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.
    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

    Sounds like your bike has an standard exhaust system, if you have a current wof, Who are they going to call ?
    Joke maybe, but some people are more f%$ked up than you think.
    Just play the wait and see game.

    Oh, soo cool!

    The absolutley standard a100 is louder.

    Surely with this whole issue it must be someone taking the piss and not genuinley affected. Its not like someone is being woken up as it is not exactly a residential area.

    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.

    Word will get around......

    Why thank you Number one. I had a run in with a Bully myself today and that letter was extremely theraputic. I was a little less elloquent and more abrupt with my ignoramus. If I had felt like lowering myself it would have lead to a bit of this
