I got woken up by some scroat riding about on something devoid of any sort of silencer.
Did 2 laps of the roundabout you can see from my bedroom window and tore off down the road to another roundabout, then came back. Repeated this for 20mins.I don't necessarily object to loud pipes (legally loud or borderline), but this was offensive to the extreme, plus it's a residential area and 3am.
I don't wish harm but it'd be nice if his engine detonated unexpectedly.

It’s been getting worse and worse here near my parents’ house. They (hatchbacks and motos) congregate at the pub carpark a stone’s throw away, and proceed to test their engines and race and whatnot.
A year or two ago it was once a week maybe, and one person would do laps in their ‘super’ car. Recently it’s hours on end and a few days ago 3 or 4 in the morning similar to you, apparently they were taking it in turns to do donuts.
It’s hot, but I gotta sleep with the window shut to reduce the noise.
One of the neighbours is guilty as anyone. They live up the fancy houses, quietly rev to the end of their road, then rag it as soon as they get near ours.
I really, really hate to be inconvenienced in any way.

loud pipes
Maybe manufacturers should be banned from making non-silenced exhausts except for shorty underslung exhausts that sit directly under the rider’s ears.
On trend with the topic and thread, I hate people touting the phrase “loud exhausts save lives”. A bit of a rev is a practical way of alerting drivers, and ideally with a reasonable exhaust. But you know the reality is every one of these cunts that rolls out that saying is just a dickhead with the baffle removed.
Dirt bikes and their fucking moron teenage owners. Constant revving and riding up behind me on a pedestrian/cycle path, not cool, not legal, not seen by any of the lazy ass police force that are so under-whatevered.
Dislike grief and being sworn at, whilst revving an engine, on a pedestrian crossing. Absolute nonsense.
