kantornado Posted January 9, 2011 Share #1 Posted January 9, 2011 This sign is directed at me. Even though I am not speeding, someone thinks I am and went to the trouble to cause attention to when I leave the subdivision. I am very considerate of my neighbors, but I guess you can not please everyone.....Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That can be very dangerous to a motorcyclist.......AND ILLEGAL.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rumboogy Posted January 10, 2011 Share #4 Posted January 10, 2011 And you might even be able to SUE THEM over it. OR you could put up your own sign. Maybe something like you knew you had to watch out for potholes, but not A$$holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redneck Posted January 10, 2011 Share #5 Posted January 10, 2011 Thats just one of the reasons my nearest neighbor is 3 miles away. I'm afraid I would repaint it with a few choice words of my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nighthawk II Posted January 10, 2011 Share #6 Posted January 10, 2011 Hmmmmmmmm..... I do believe I would just have to do something like remove my mufflers and run in low gear until I got out of the neighborhood then put them back on and go on my way.That would show the @#%$*^#% just how slow I ride.

Snaggletooth Posted January 10, 2011 Share #7 Posted January 10, 2011 That is just wrong. I'd be reporting that to the local police. After all.....it's appears it's blocking traffic on a public street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMIKE Posted January 10, 2011 Share #8 Posted January 10, 2011 The WAR would be started due to that sign. There would always be dead grass forming the words X$$ HOLE across their front yard big enough to be seen from space. I would remove the mufflers completely from the bike so make sure they heard me at all hours of the night. I would also vandalize that sign for them. I have little tolerance for stuff like that if you try to be considerate of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Canuck Posted January 10, 2011 Share #9 Posted January 10, 2011 How about hanging that sign in your garage, shed or ? I'm sure the person who made it will be looking for it, or will be making another one to replace it? You can't have too many mementos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Condor Posted January 10, 2011 Share #11 Posted January 10, 2011 I wouldn't get too upset about it.. Then they would win. Take the sign home with you, and maybe use it to build something. Take the next one home with you too.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin-vic-b.c. Posted January 10, 2011 Share #12 Posted January 10, 2011 I think much louder exhaust is required..... for safety reasons... now that you know that there is speeders in the neightbour hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aimhigh Posted January 10, 2011 Share #13 Posted January 10, 2011 Is it possible that someone else on a bike is going thru just before or after you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiCarl Posted January 10, 2011 Share #14 Posted January 10, 2011 Is it possible that someone else on a bike is going thru just before or after you? Or how does he know you go through at 5:30 AM? Is he one of those guys with nothing to do at that hour but look out his window for problems, or do you perhaps have some loud pipes that roll him out of bed and leave the impression of speeding? Seems like he put a lot of effort into the sign. In any case, I'll bet NV has laws about constructing hazards on a public roadway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take the next one home with you too.... Yep, Don't lower yourself to their level! What a boring life they must lead if they have a need to go get a sign printed and place on the road. I'd hang it in my garage. What a sad creature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibvel Posted January 10, 2011 Share #19 Posted January 10, 2011 May seem like a dumb idea but have you tried talking to the people? Finding out what their gripe is and if it, truly, is you they are targeting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zagger Posted January 10, 2011 Share #20 Posted January 10, 2011 Well, somebody has to say it. I'll bet your neighbor's complaint has more to do with your Bub exhaust than with you personally. Lot's of folks don't like the motorcycle melody and just want vehicles to be quiet. This is the sort of fight which spawns new laws like those California just passed (http://www.ridelust.com/motorcycle-exhaust-bill-passes-in-california/). I guess we only have ourselves to blame. zag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kantornado Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share #21 Posted January 10, 2011 (edited) There bedrooms are faceing the street in question. I am the only one on the road at this time of morning. My pipes are not loud and because I live here I am very considerate of my neighbors. They do not like motorcycles and any noise makes there dogs bark. There just those type of people. Not happy unless there *****en about something. They have lived here about 4 months. Edited January 14, 2011 by kantornado Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted January 10, 2011 Share #22 Posted January 10, 2011 Time to have a meet for an early breakfast at your house. I'm sure 30 or 40 bikes at once would fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venturous Randy Posted January 10, 2011 Share #23 Posted January 10, 2011 They do not like motorcycles and any noise makes there dogs bark. . I just love it when neighbors with barking dogs B***h about someone else making noise. RandyA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
friesman Posted January 10, 2011 Share #24 Posted January 10, 2011 I wouldnt let him win by lowering myself to his level. Getting louder exhaust would just escalate the situation, I would just take the sign and leave it in my garage. With all the push back lately on loud exhaust in some communities, i think you may just make the situation more tense by getting a louder exhaust. Of course IF they have a barking dog, you may want to glue an overlay over that sign to alert the neighbours to the barking dogs Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.J. Posted January 10, 2011 Share #25 Posted January 10, 2011 Was the sign there again this morning? Do you know for sure who did it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
