I've always had loud bus bassy cans on my bikes. My neighbours have never complained, but I leave for work around 08:30 or later - in fact one Old Dear a few doors up has told people she loves the sound of my bike and always listens out for when I leave and arrive!
The problem is at my girlfriends flat. Leaving at the same time, a few times some Bint in the downstairs flat I park up next to has stuck her face out the window and glared at me.
What she hoped to achieve against a blue iridium tinted visor I never found out before she slammed the window shut. Hmm.
So the other Saturday at 11am I started up to go somewhere, and Bint opens the window again and says "Will you PLEASE stop doing that!!!" then slams the window again.
Now, as I'm aware she's probably flipping out about my bike, I start up and leave as soon as the bike will physically work, so this latest one was odd.
Did she mean stop starting the fucking bike before I ride it?
Should I ignore the Camel and start and leave the bike to warm up nicely as I do anywhere else? Or maybe get 20 mates with open pipes to meet me one morning to show her what she's missing?
Or should I just go and bash her back doors in? :smt013
Other points of note is that for an hour before I leave, hundreds of school kids come squealing and shouting past Bints window heading to the school next to the flat, and every Sat and Sun whistles and shouting start from 8am on the playing field 10 yards from Bints window for hours on end.
