Save your breath.  He is one of those trolls that join a forum, try to stir up crap and leave, never to return.

 

He joined Tuesday evening, returned 10 mins later to view his wall of hate and disappointed seeing no replies, never came back as it did not supply him readily with his dose of narcissistic control.

 

This is why I rarely get involved with first time posters asking a question without so much as a hello.

But sometimes it can be fun to feed the trolls.

I hear bikes all the time from my house. I know I am a uncultured barbarian, but it always puts a smile on my face. Especially if it's a triple

 

I had to read that several times, maybe I'm tired, but I couldn't understand how you could be an uncluttered barbarian........

Well aware of it, I only allowed the thread as I knew how much disappointment it would bring for them

You think you've got it bad ?  I live next to a field of cows and you should hear the noise those buggers make.  Bloody cows, coming into our countryside to disrupt the peace and quite. And don't get me started on when shooting season starts!  God it sounds like WW3 has started.   Country folk really are noisy all the time.

Shooting season really is a pain in the arse/head/ears.

Why SD? Do you look like a pheasant or have you upset the locals?

I owned a Narrow boat for 7 years, great experience, life style, I didn't live on it permanently,  cruised for several months a year, very happy days.  

So the noise thing was the flock of Canadian geese that bombed the marina at 5am very morning, I can sleep through most noisy stuff, weather it it the pitch or the volume of their squawking I don't know, solution, we should eat more geese!!

City folk moving to the countryside then complain about countryside noises that have been there long before they was, bit like those that move next to racing circuits, pubs/clubs then complain about the noise.

I live in a nice neighbourhood some 100 metres from a main road. Plenty of tree and hedges between me and the road, but at this time of year I’m forced to endure the noise of sport motorbikes and choppers tearing up and down the main road and nearby roundabout leading to the motorway - some of them no doubt are racing around just for ‘fun’ and not even getting from A to B. My house has double glazing, but the sound gets in. It’s pretty much all day long, but especially bad at the weekend. Sometimes I’m woken in the early hours and have sympathy for those living nearer the road. 

So…motorcyclists. Whats your opinion of this? I can’t help but think that an inconsiderate minority should not be allowed to disrupt the peace in this way. There are plenty of studies showing that road noise is prejudicial to health (it certainly stresses me out), so any argument that ‘loud bikes are seen bikes’ seems not to take into account the hundreds, if not thousands of people negatively affected by the noise. Risk your own necks by all means, but stop disturbing residents who just want a bit of peace and quiet. 

Soz.

Canadas are pretty vile tasting and often tough as old boots but grey lags especially young ones are not bad at all.

Obviously you ride around with an open face helmet.

Lost me there. Greylag geese and open face helmets? Whoosh!

I once tasted a bee wearing an open face helmet.  Not as a matter of choice...

Right it's safe to say non of us like unnecessarily noisy bikes, we all love butterflies and there has been not one mention of custard creams so it's run it's course.
