"Noise Nuisance due to revving motorbike"

[Jonathan A]

Go round to his house with a massive bunch of flowers and be really apologetic. It will make him feel really uncomfortable and awkward, and he'll probably shut up and mind his own business after that.

worked for me

This is the first time I have heard a bike shouldn't run any different hot or cold. Would that change if i mention its a ye olde manual choke and carbs setup?

and I would get it idling right but evidently not allowed to run the bike on my property now......

[lihp]

Just because the MOT Tester passes your exhaust it doesn't mean it's road legal. Nor does any stamps etc.

iirc the wording is that the exhaust noise must be no louder than originally designed.

With regards to bikes running the same hot and cold, I don't think that is what was meant.

There's no need to warm a bike up before using, get gear on, start with choke and ride with choke on, then when it's warm half a mile later close the choke.

There's no benefit to letting it warm up till it idles off choke before riding.

Do you have a lawn? Beg, steal or borrow an OLD petrol lawn mower if you can. Cut your grass every Sunday at 8:01am.

Steve, you're huge! Knock on the door and have a word

My routine is to get into the garage, start the bike on choke, and wheel it into the drive, turn it off again because side stand cuts the bike out and lock the garage. Then start up without choke and leave.

Not had any complaints from anybody, that's at 6am which I think is quite reasonable. It's a time people leave to go to work

If he's old, he'll be dead soon.

You'll get the last laugh and he'll die still fucked off about it.

[SteveZZR]

Unfortunately he's young.
Actually has at least one friend with a bike, with a much louder can than mine.

Quite amusing to open and close the garage at random times and see the curtains twitch

Hopefully he is enjoying the bike striking up 5 metres nearer his bedroom window at 6am now though. Its a police matter not a council matter now because I'm not running it on my property and the plod will just say" its got a valid MOT" if he bothers them with it

oh and funny thing is they'll probably be sending the inspector at the wrong time anyway, since I've been on my 12 days off his timesheet thing will completely mismatch what happens when I'm back at work Monday

A neighbor of mine had a lovely street triple, and i used to love being woken up at about 3AM when he left to go to work.
I'd actually lie in bed with a grin on as it revved up and i heard i pass my house...then i'd go back to sleep happy as larry

I believe there's something in Buddhism that says if something or someone annoys you, its your fault for letting it but don't quote me on it

Many people seem to be saying that warming a bike up isn't important, why is it then that many manufacturers and mechanics state that warming it up is vital? Where is everyone getting the information that pressing the button and riding straight away is completely harmless?

Would you let your car sit and idle for 20 minutes before driving it?

Show me ANY manufacturer that states NOT to ride the bike till it's at operating temperature. They simply say to not run the engine at high revs when it is cold.
