I live in a cul da sac. One of the neighbors bought a motorcycle this summer. It is really loud even when it is just idling. He goes for a ride after work or on weekends. But he lets it idle for two minutes but the exhaust is so loud that it seems like forever to me. At 7:15 am on Saturday morning he fires up the bike and it woke me up. I wanted to sleep in. I hate motorcycles.
Get off the power, try to ride in a straight line, hang on and pray. Unlike a car there is nothing else holding you up, which is why you want to check tires before every ride.
get out of the throttle, stay off the brakes, and make only the most gentle inputs, don't get cocky until the bike is stopped most wrecks happen when the rider thinks he's got it back under controll and disregard all the morons who tell you different. Ive been there always pre trip your bike and ride within your limits
It must be one of those stupid farting Harley's, I cannot stand those bikes, it seems like attention seeking moron's who wear beannie helmets ride those. Real bikers wear proper helmets and don't need a loud bike as they know how to ride in the first place. What you could do is leave a note saying that you have a baby and that the noise wakes the kid up. The moron's who ride those loud nasty bikes usually put them away once the cool weather comes about.
When living in a neighborhood, it is understood that there are certain things we all have to deal with, including loud vehicles. The ideal is that we get to know our neighbors so that we can talk with them and get along. What you need to do is try to develop a good relationship with this neighbor. Say hello, ask about him, his family, even his new motorcycle. Be kind, be polite. Then at some point you could say something like, I heard you leave really early on Saturday! and see how he responds. He might (maybe, maybe) say sorry, or he may just tell you where he went. Regardless, you should respond politely, either, I understand, or that sounds like fun. Honestly, there is not a lot you can do unless you want to create bad feelings and a difficult living environment. If you are able to create a good relationship, he may be more considerate about firing up his bike in his driveway.he may consider coasting to the corner and starting it up there. However if you are confrontational, especially if you never talk to the guy, he may begin starting up the bike early every day just to spite you! I have always believed that it is so important to get along with neighbors so everyone can live peacefully, talk with each other and help each other. If you can understand each other better, then everyone will be more tolerant, even you!! Otherwise your home is no longer a happy place to be. Good luck and I hope you can get in a nap!
Any noise is much louder than usual, when the weather is humid. What you could do: Get to know this guy a little, and chat with him about his motorcycle. You could casually mention that it woke you up on Saturday morning. Don't complain. When you live near other people, there will generally be unwelcome noise. In our neighborhood it's little yapping dogs and occasional amplified rock music. Other places it's children running around and screaming. People who live in big cities have to adjust to garbage trucks, taxi horns, bus brakes, and police sirens. Eventually you can develop the attitude, Nothing to do with me, if you try. It's the best way to stay sane.
