Last night I stripped and cleaned the carbs from my Z900 and of course after refitting them I needed to test the bike.
Well she fired up fine, I kept her running to warm her up. Bit of a rev to test, as you do.
Then an odd thing happened, as soon as I switched her off I heard a 'YAY' from a neighbours garden. So I fired her up again turned off again and 'YAY' again. So I fired her up again as he must be liking it....
This all happened before 8.00pm, he's not an adjoined neighbour, must be 100foot or more away. Was there really a problem? ;-)

I'm just waiting for Brakey to come on and say, I didn't hear it BigBol, !
Im lucky, I don't have any neighbours that complain . Last year the guy next door cut down a great big bush, huge thing, and set fire to it......smoke everywhere, I poked my head out the window to see where the smoke was coming from, ya never know, it could have been his house, anyway he sees me and shouts "sorryyy", Fine I says, I can see out me kitchen window better now .

Saturday I put new barrel and piston on the Stepdaughters Katana 50 scooter (pile of shite), ran it for a about 5 mins, not at high revs, just varied a little, std exhaust. Turned it off and 'Noisy Git' shouted from some where. My reply 'Shut it'. So as I was working in the garden most of the day, Planet Rock a little louder than usual. ;-) After that I never heard a thing, i'm thinking this is the same neighbour who shoots birds with his air rifle and why I found a dead pigeon on my garage roof. Obviously not a nice chap.

Cool. Now then, i'm sure same neighbour was using a grinder the other night. So he's one of them, it's ok for him but not anyone else to make noise. A NIMBY of sorts. Feck him.

Some people are never happy unless they have something to complain about. With people like that I'm usually the one to keep them the most happy they can be. :mfinger:

There's always one in every street or walk of life. I say life is just too short.
