Yikes.

LOL. Do you live in a rural area or suburban (within earshot of neighbors)?

There's a guy over on 914world.com who worked on his V8 conversion in his garage (in a nice townhome community in OC). Neighbor lady got pizzed (rightfully so) from the noise and sued him. She won a judgment and now the guy has to sell the home (in a down market...he paid top-dollar) to pay her and his/her lawyers.

Hope you have better lawyers than your neighbors (and pray you never move next door to me!).

I never piss off my neighbors. Im extremely careful not to intrude upon their peaceful existence as I mentioned above numerous times

i am a lawyer and i can take care of myself.

If I had a douche bag with an immature attitude like RPKESQ living next to me, i would take great pleasure in retaliating against his bigotry and arrogance with my noise

Sometimes we need to ask ourselves - why does a capable businessman who runs a successful parts business go through the trouble of maintaining an OT section of a web-site?

To keep crap like this out of the "technical" sections! :D

Indeed! http://forums.pelicanparts.com/support/smileys/clap.gif:D

Ahhh...you've only been admitted 10 yrs. My attorneys have shoes older than you! :D SmileWavy

Mine goes to 11!SmileWavy

If you think some self-confessed wanker like you could win in a legal fight, please move next door to me. Dealing with people like you has made me quite weathly. I have fed off of your type for years. Bring it on, baby!

whats my type douche bag? a review of your posts suggests you have no life, contribute nothing to the technical section and make it a habit to exercise your ego by trying your hardest to tell everybody how dumb they are and how smart you are

i think ill go out to my garage and work on my car now because this topic is a bore and arguing with an idiot like you has soured my day, which im pretty sure was your plan to begin with

very nice Magnum

Your type is self confessed! Or do you have memory problems too? Yes it is time for you to go play with your toys. Let the adults talk now.SmileWavy

my buddy has a 600hp jet boat with open headers. so loud it makes your chest hurt when he revs it up. been wondering why he always kept one hand in his pocket after cranking it up. don't believe I'll help him tune it up after hearing about the loud noise/erection effect. way too gay standing around, everyone with boners, watching someone tune a loud engine. or does the header/hardon thing only work with Harleys/wankers? maybe I could get rich selling loud exhaust sexual aid audio cds to elderly harley riders with erectile dysfunction , too old to get cranked up but still wanting to ride.

Oh, no, not so much. Just pointing out that so many who have made careers out of complaining about every little thing seem to have, in many places, wound up with just what they have been whining for. It's seldom the utopia they expected, as everyone's whiny little complaints are given heed and must be addressed. I find it only fitting that they wind up under the scrutiny of others who complain as freely as they do, but about different things. Usually something they like to do. They all deserve each other.

Myself, I just can't get all worked up about these things. I've never understood (or tolerated very well) those who do. I admit I don't understand the psychology of the whiner. Not that I really care to, come to think of it. We all have things that bother us to some degree. How much we allow them to is entirely up to us as individuals. I think those of you that do manage to get worked up over these trivialities show some inherent weakness of spirit, or character, or something. Maybe wrist... But, like I said, I neither understand nor care to understand what lies behind or motivates the habitual complainer. You guys do seem to be happy in your misery, though, so who am I to judge. Whatever floats your boat. Now where the hell did I leave those drag pipes...

Moderators - please change the title of this thread to "My grandpa came back from the dead to ***** about the noise"

and no, you can get boners from japanese and italian bikes too

Danny Ocean posted this sequence in another recent thread. It stands reposting
as a salient lesson in motorcycle safety. Pay special attention to the rider's safety equipment. An appropriate helmet, leather and the loud exhaust pipes.

Now this just happens to be a Harley, but ofcourse it could be any 1930s motorcycle ridden being by someone unable to negoatiate a corner.

So lets be careful out there, people.

You still here? I thought it was play time for you. For someone who is bored with this thread you sure seem to stick around. Go on and play with your toys before its past your bedtime.SmileWavy

my mommy said i could stay up a little longer since i ate all my carrots

FWIW I usually don't hear your boys loud pipes until you are in front of me.

I love that sequence of pictures. It says so much. Really it does.

There has NEVER been anyone driving a 911, that has lost control, never.

Z-man must be asleep today.

My favorite reply to any HD thread is by a guy on rennlist, he replies with one word. I think I am going to modify his word to fit within the language rules here.

Vagina.

Just yanking your chain.
You are right, there is no perfection anywhere, and whinning does not help. But, consideration for your fellow humans is a good, intelligent, considerate thing to do. You are that type already, I was just yanking ya!;)

I always tell my employees, no whinning! If you have a problem with something, bring it to my attention with a proposed solution and we'll see if it is feasible. Any complaint without a considered solution is whinning and that will not be tolerated.

Well, your mother may put up with your loud nosies to call attention to your dirty diaper, but I won't.

If the slit fits.......

I agree, it fits you nicely.

Vagina.

at least i have a mother :p

You would only know that if you were trying to fit your wanker in.:rolleyes:

Hmmm, WARNING, don't bend over in BS's sight!:eek::eek::eek:

But congratulations for finally coming out of the closet! SmileWavy

We are proud of your courage!;)

Oh, I know. But the chain has two ends, and you know I've tugged on the other a time or two...

Words to live by. Essentially, I like to hear the solution first. Then tell me what the problem used to be.

In this case, there really is no solution everyone wants to live with. I've seen none proposed that are workable or livable. Some folks are just going to be an annoyance; some folks are just going to be whiners. I try to avoid both. Maybe my little utopia should include both; they sure seem to feed on one another.

We would need to see proof of that. And then charge her with lax parenting skills.

The ignore button is awesome. Why haven't I used it earlier?

I think the boner guys gravitate to harleys. Ive spent a lot of time around race cars that make an HD sound like a mewing kitten. No wood.

Wimp. All of mine go to 11.

And I personally don't care about loud pipes, EXCEPT when I was living downtown Vancouver, and all the bouncers leaving the bars at 3am would go up and down the side streets playing the "rev-my-bike-so-loud-it-sets-off-all-the-car-alarms" game... then I was imagining what they'd look like with a mil-dot over them, and wondered what my corrections would be for a 12th story shot. ;)

It must have pissed off a lot of people, as the cops set up stops for motorcycles on each of the bridges heading into downtown and checking their noise levels... funnily enough, 50% of the bikes they stopped had improperly licensed riders or invalid insurance.

It all comes down to respect... and reasonable tolerance. Between 9-10pm, for me, is fine... 3am, not nice.
