Me and my bike need a new home! (North Shore)

[vifferman]

I can understand annoying warming up of engines, my anushead neighbour starts up his car with a sewer pipe for an exhaust at 6:30 and runs it for 10 mins.

There's a Mitsubishi Legume (auto!) just up the road from our house. It used to sound OK, but now it has an even louder, raspier, zorst fitted. The day he got it, he went up and down the road from his house to the corner (100m away?) and back, 5 or 6 times in a row.
It's a prime candidate for the DoseOfExpandingFoamUpTheZorst treatment.

I don't mind sporty zorsts, as long as they sound good, but if they're loudly droney ones on autos, or just obnoxiously loud, then they get right up my nose. Um... - ear.
Even the Satantune on the VifFerraRi gets on my wick after a while if I take the spud out.

OK Mr Grumpy, its not a TLR with yoshi pipes or anything, it is a GPX250. I am sure it is only for a few minutes at best.
The lady dosent want lectures in this thread about having her bike running outside her landlords house, but rather looking for a more bike friendly environment in which to reside, thus solving the problem.
So back to topic.. whats your budget Miss?

Who stuck a thorn up yours? That was hardly a lecture?

A bike friendly place will quickly become a bike UN friendly place if you leave any bike sitting there idling when it does not need to be. It does not do the bike any good so why solve a problem that does not need to BE a problem?

Yeah - old people and landlords can be grumpy but it's their property and a bit of respect goes a long way...

Paul N - Look, I tell ya what, I'll leave you guys to it - this place is getting wierd

tell your landlord to fk off, maybe try to be quieter, but you live there too, the landlord owns the house, but as you are leasing it, that gives you the (almost) the same rights as if you own it, so the landlord cant do dick except complain to noise control, he cant kick you out/raise the rent/be unreasonable without the risk of a tenancy hearing for persicution, in this instance he's not your landlord, he's just the gumpy old prick next door. so give him the fingers and say "bite me" and stay, just to wind him up. It'll take 45 days minimum for him to legally evict you, more if you take him to court to let you stay "cause he just doesn't like my bike your honour" thats heaps of time to drive him nuts.
My CBX must drive the neighbours spastic (remember the old cycleworks slash cut exhaust?) I always come home after midnight, and quite often am gone again before six am, I try to be quiet as I can but its still noisy, no complaints yet though.....

[mstriumph]

no point in standing on her rights and being antagonistic just for the sake of doing it when she's not happy there anyway and can move somewhere more congenial so EVERYONE wins?

[FROSTY:Me]

can't help on the flat front Im sorry. BUT
A lil suggestion re the lil GPX - Start her up on the choke then just ride off.
1/2 km down the road she will be warmed up enough to not stall.

[Scouse]

I need a new flat!
Since I got my bike two weeks ago my landlord who lives in the house behind has been getting more and more difficult. This morning he tells me his little wifey can't stand the sound of my bike warming up and can I do take it up the top of the driveway to "rev it" Explained to him patiently that a bike needs to warm up in the morning otherwise its likely to drop its revs and stall the first time I have to stop for traffic. I know that shes not gonna care about that though so not much I can do really but find somewhere else to live.
Does anybody here know any bike tollerant people looking for a flatmate on the North Shore? Would prefer if the bedroom was bigger than a shoebox!

Tell your landlord that he is a twat and his missus is nothing more that a moaning bitch and they should fuckup and get a life.

Screw everyone winning, I just want to see the KBer win! Wind the bastard right up, you know you want too...

Tell you what, I'll let you borrow the SV for a week... it's basically an open race pipe, that'll scare the crap out of him, and injection holds the revs around 3000rpm for a short period of time from cold start

amen to that

who the fuck do the neighbours think they are

I once had to move my dog kennel so the neighbour could sleep (nightshift worker),fair enough, then I had to move the trampoline and swing set, I drew the line when he saked my missus to park on the street as the garage door disturbed him.

I have a large room available at our flat in glen eden. $100 per week, we are both bikers. flick me a pm.

[iwilde]

Buy the place, then tell his wife to suck your nipples!

As a landlord I can ask a tenant to leave in accordance with the lease on the property, this should be written into every lease. Treating a landlord with distain in the days of rents going up astromincally in places like Auckland not the best idea ... not getting things like references is real smart.

Under a standard least 90 days notice in writing is normal. 42 days if various conditions fit, and 10 if I go to the tribunal with their list (which includes compliance to remedy a breach, assault etc).

The reality is they probably have someone lined up for the flat or want to increase the rent or something dumb like that ... for now just don't inflame the situation and find something better ...

[bugjuice]

2 weeks earlier and I had the perfect place for you, but have now found someone. Sorry.

ditto.. but i ended up with HDTboy.. might still be able to trade him, still got the receipt somewhere..

[lb99]

and 10 if I go to the tribunal with their list (which includes compliance to remedy a breach, assault etc).

you will never get the tennancy tribunal to evict cause your wife doesn't like the sound of the tennants bike, unless the noise is deemed unreasonable, which I doubt cause its an 07 gpx

[The Pastor]

There seems to be alot of us on the shore eh? im in glenfield atm.

Unless it's writen in her tennacy agreement that she is not to warm her bike in the mornings then she would not be in breach and the tribuanl can do jack shit.She in fact could sue them for breaching her write to enjoy her home.
