Riding to work was short lived

[98tls]

Returned home today to find an unsigned letter in the mailbox requesting i dont,even pointed out that we own 2 cars so there was no reason for me to take the bike to work at all(thats considerate eh).We have a number of old folks self owned units across the road and have always got on well with all the owners so went door knocking and no it wasnt them one old bloke said it was a "delight to listen to".6am isnt exactly early to my way of thinking,thing that irks me the most is that they didnt put a name on the note so i cant even go and discuss it unless i just door knock down the street until i find the writer,anyone else had this?In fairness will add that my old TL is a shit of a thing when cold and does require some warming up but its not like its sitting there for any great length of time.

I live in an old neighbourhood as well and leave for work usually around 2am so far no problems even though my bike can make a fair amount of noise. i do check in with them every now and then to see if it is still all good. Failing that if I had to I would push my bike round to the hill and coast away then start at the bottom away from home.

Sorry to hear you had the hassle probably just caged jealousy is all.

No, you keep riding to work, fuck the gutless wonders who can't be arsed telling you to your face that your motorcycle is a tad noisy at 6am.
Problem is too many of your neighbours don't work, lazy fuckers!

[Yamahardman]

At least they didn't go straight to the rozzers or noise control, and left the note there.
Old people are old, and they probably think a young'in on a motorbike is still the same as the rowdy rockers of the 60's, with their rock n roll, ton up clubs and fights with the mods on Brighton beach, lol.

Probably didn't want a confrontation, that's all. Haha.

Thing is mate most of them within earshot do work,if it was annoying any of the old folk across the road then outta respect i wouldnt bother taking the bike to work,no skin off my nose but such is my relationship with them ive no doubts they would simply tell me if it was.As you say the annoying bit is the lack of name on the note...

Needless to say i wheelied her in the face and skipped town.

Windsheild bomb everyone in the street with the following

"Hey, there was a gutless wonder asking me to take the car to work instead of the bike, I notice you also own a car, so if you are said gutless wonder, please use it to fuck right off before I leave."

bogan. Theyre old.
The correct phrase is "ruddy well beggar off"
probably give the codgerr an annuerism with language like yours.

It mustn't be that loud then. haha.

On a slightly unrelated topic (it's about old people and motorbikes) My grandad me a funny story about his older brother, who would ride on gravel roads (early 50's) from Lichfeild to Rotorua to the "dance hall" on a AJS and get back just in time for milking, haha.
He also told me once, he went through the Swiss alps on a jawa with his cousin (also in the early 50's)

It made me realize that not all really old folk hate motorcycles, and that they were probably more common back then then they are now.
They tend to get a little nostalgic when they see them, haha.

Never had a problem with my neighbors starting my cortina at 6am to head off to work (it was a tad noisy), equally never had a problem with my neighbor heading out to work at 4am in her rather loud toyota levin, after a while just slept through it.

Miserable pricks will be miserable pricks and complain, like the ones who called noise control on us at 11pm on a friday night, despite us door knocking when we moved in and giving all of our neighbors our phone number to call if they had any problems.

To summarise, just keep riding the bike, it obviously pissed them off which in this case they deserve it and can only be a a good thing.

Take the mufflers off before you head off to work in the morning

You going to be home Saturday?

If there's twin sidedrafts on that cortina, I'd happily wake up to the sweet sound of intake, haha!

Sadly not quite, just a twin barrel with a ramflo, factory gt extractors and a single resonator in the exhaust tube (and a few other technical details engine wise).

Was sad when that car got stolen They must have pushed it away, the neighbors would have heard it and recognised it otherwise.

To be fair it is a concern that the evil motorcyclist is awakening people in the street to head off to a legitimate place of employment.

One should consider throwing in afore mentioned employment and enrolling on the state funded dole, arising at a more gentlemanly time of say 11am, checking ones crops to ensure quality control is being adhered to. Servicing ones women folk. Enjoying a respectable lunchtime brew. Servicing ones women folk. Tending crops again as required. Servicing ones women folk.
By now it is approximately 3.00pm. What the fuck - stroll down to the local high school to check out the up coming talent - shit take a few pix on the new S4 you acquired from last weeks smash and grab. Upload said questionable pictures to your restricted 'paid members only' website. Money in the bank. Shit if you are in luck one of those girls will become PM in a couple of decades and you will be able to blackmail her ....

Jesus is it 4.00pm already, consider servicing your women folk, nah - settle for a drug induced BJ and phone the TAB - 'she will be right' is looking good 10-1 and you have a tip from the jockey you threatened to arse fuck last week if he did not throw the race. Hell you are flying by now on the lines and smoke you have done this arvo that you may arse fuck him anyway. You quickly download some hard core girl-on girl porn to reassure yourself that you are not gay. Ahhh that's better.

Jesus is that the old fart from next door yelling over the fence about the volume of the music. Fuck me does he not enjoy Iron Maiden - classic band, old fuck must be gay - wind up the volume, maybe it will get his old wife wet......briefly consider servicing her but draw a line at over 70's. After all you are not a sick bastard......

Fuck you are really flying now - 5.00pm. WTF maybe I'll fire up the TL. Jesus I'm naked and hard, WTF I'm ready to ride. Push the starter, first jab of starter and the TL lights, Jap bikes forever - Jesus it is loud, bells of hell loud, give her a rev. Mother the neighbours must be pissed. Fuck em wait till they see me pop a naked wheelie.

Roll the TL out onto the street, excellent I have a full audience, fuck me the parents of the girls I took those up-skirts images of last week in the mall have turned up to watch me. Excellent. Jesus if the old lady had not taken the kids to her mum this arvo after the last rear end servicing you gave her, she'd be most proud.

The TL is humming 160kms on the back wheel, followed by the po-po, lights screaming. I'm living the dream in suburbia NZ. Fuck yeah.
