    Your bike is too loud!

    I park my bike in the basement below work. Tonight I went to get on my bike to go home and found a note had been taped on my bike that said the following:

    Dear Sir,

    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


    *Knucklehead


    *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!!

    Take a dump on his car.

    It's cool that he thinks you must be a male.

    Must be related to that dickhead at the camp ground in Whangamata...
    Screw the note up and ignore.
    Can you get your hands on an old MXer, like a TM or CR. What fun you could have...
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Make sure you pull the clutch in when you turn up and really give a wrist full, as long as you're fxr meets the noise requirements. Do you think by any chance however, someone from KB wrote that for a laugh, if so name and shame!

    My Reply would be

    Bring it On!!!!!!

    I really enjoy dealing with these people. Dont suppose he left you any contact details?
    May the road rise up to meet you.
    May the wind be always at your back.
    May the sun shine warm upon your face.

    What a tossa calling you Sir for 1 thing and then having a go about the noise of your bike. Pity you dont know who it was and where they lived as then you could turn up out the front of its house revving the shit out of it at early hours of the morning then that would give him something to grizzle about. Sounds like his a few sandwiches short of a picnic.
