You guys are great!!! I have a neighbor down the street that has about as many bikes as I do cars. Every morning he winds it out to the stop sign at my corner and I hear him coming most of the time at 6 a.m.. He is on his way to work, I guess' Not on weekends!! So some sat or sun mornings I cruise by his house and give him alittle wakeup call also. And if thats not enough pipes it also sets off his neighbors car alarm. Boy, I love these cars!!!! hahahah

I try to be a good neighbor...

not being a morning person, I rarely fire up the beast before 9 AM & try not to be out after 10 PM. Only once or twice a year do I fire it up early for a car show or a breakfast run.

... not that it's a big deal... my neighbors love it... even though it rattles their windows & sets off their car alarm while warming up in the driveway.

One neighbor was working on/in his boat (next door) while I was warming it up... he thought there was an earthquake...

The first time I started the car during the build I went into the house and warned my wife! I hit the starter and was listening to the most incredible sound when my wife came flying out the garage door yelling "shut it off" I did and then I tried to explain as calmly as I could that I would need to run it to tune it. I apologized if it was to loud and was bothering her. She looked at me kind of weird (but I am used to that) and said "Honey, the noise is bearable but the problem is it is shaking the china in the china cabinet" Had a good laugh on that and did all future tuning in the daytime in the driveway.

This is a great thread.

I too live in the city and I have a lot of retired folks living around me. That being said they are the best neighbors a family can have. My wife complains more then my neighbors (and she complains very little).

I find myself taking it very, very easy when I leave the block because they never complain.
