Is there not some law about motorcyclists not making their exhausts so noisy?

I've heard one lately go along New Park Road several times which is far noisier than a 'normal' motorbike. Particularly annoying at 2am.
Probably your turn to get the wankers who've done that along this edge of Brockwell Park the last few summers.

When will it be my estate's turn to be free of what sound like souped-up hairdryers?
They're the bane of my life around here, whiney fuckers bombing round in the early hours of the morning. I suffer from bad enough insomnia as it is, but when I have the windows open wide in summer you can hear them constantly. They should really be banned.

don't think so. just the odd massively noisy powerful sounding motorbike. It doesn't happen so often but it's just so massively deliberate and wankerish.

I have no objections to motorbikes. I object to people who deliberately do whatever it is they do to up the decibels. They don't have to be that loud to go fast. They do it deliberately to be noisy.

Kids today, string em up, national service, etc.
I'm a bit grumpy every day. At least I'm not as bad as that Onke... wait.
Noise mostly doesn't bother me. It's the deliberate twattishness of it at stoopid o'clock at night.

Just remember that the sound of somebody strangling a lawnmower does NOT impress the chicks.

To be fair, I know where you're coming from. Bloke over the road from us has a little team of scooter riders who have drilled holes into their exhausts or whatever it is they do. They always beep their horns for him instead of getting off and ringing his doorbell.
It got so bad that we were, yes that's right, going to speak to the council about it.
But we're moving instead (although not because of that).

Said like a man with experience! We used to do that too when we were 16.....but for the speed not the noise!Mostly they remove the baffle or restrictor out to eek out another 1-3mph

It wasn't a scooter. It was a powerful motorbike. It was very very loud, not an irritating lawnmower on speed.
That's regular up the Hill though - annoying fuckers

Not that often not at this level of decibels. Fairly regular though. Probably the same person. Always very late.
No idea, my crystal ball's on the blink again.
Probably the same reason that twats with petrol powered leafblowers walk around for ages with the things idling.

Wtf's the point of those?
Why don't they just use a rake?
Luddite! Next you'll be oppressing them by forcing them to use yardbrooms.Wtf's the point of those?

I wouldn't mind them if they didn't make a noise
You know what'll happen next. The council will ask residents to rake their own leaves into a corner so the leaf blowers can then blow them again.
Mark my words. In days of old, binmen used to pick up bins and sling them over their shoulders and put them back in your property. Now they're on wheels and they expect you to wheel them in and out

It did amuse me in the park (Blackheath) the other day. Loads of people with picnic rugs and wine. One guy BLARING through with the leaf thing
I bet he laughed himself to sleep that night.
FWIW I've seen estate workers trying to use the leaf blowers on wet and windy days, talk about futile! Tenant & residents being told to do their own patch won't happen on this estate: Most of the gardeny bits with trees are communal, and not obviously attached to any of the flats. There aren't any wheelie bins either, just estate paladins and mini skips.I wouldn't mind them if they didn't make a noise

There's big bins under bin shutes here. We don't use the shutes despite being on the top floor. It's idiots on the 2nd floor who normally use the shutes as they're too lazy to walk down. They also put bags that are too big into the shutes, thus jamming them, meaning nobody can use them anyway. Other people who don't use the shutes just chuck their rubbish immediately in front of the bins because they're too lazy to put it INTO the bins. There's some right lazy fuckers around

There's some wanky twat on Rushcroft Road with an offensively loud motorbike - I mean seriously unpleasant, I have to close the window and I'm on the 4th floor... I have contemplated going down to have a quiet word, but he might be big & scary, and I don't believe in confrontation (with big & scary people, at least).It wasn't a scooter. It was a powerful motorbike. It was very very loud, not an irritating lawnmower on speed.
