I want to get a sound measuring kit, but i fear i'll end up like these jobsworths:





And believe it or not, i do have better things to do with my time. Honest.
Hate to burst your bubble, but I'm pretty sure that's a speed gun...

I think he knows, but he would still look like them and seem like a jobsworth. My antisocial neighbours ahve taken to buying and selling motorbikes and scooters so they're revving them up all day and night and charging around the local roads on them.

Gawd.....

You should try living in the centre of Ryde on an August bank holiday weekend. We get all the mods with their scooters over for the weekend. 6000 in total in a town with a 40,000 population. It is a great weekend of two stroke oil, beer and music.

I have never owned a scooter or will own one, but these guys are certainly petrolheads and take massive pride in their scooters

It does seem to be a 2 wheeler thing,

Mopeds, sound st and noisy, Harleys sound a bit better but not as fantastic as the owners seem to think, plus not everyone thinks you look cool and assume you are an accountant, most Sports bikes are pretty noisy but the owners generally buy some kind of Megaphone so it can be heard several counties away, I am sure there are bikes that don't rattle your windows available.
Yes but then you would be a cyclist, they are worse, in their skin tight lycra thinking that everyone wants to endure the view of their arse because they have decided to ride in the middle of the road.
That's me told biggrin

These little fks have nothing better to do than ride around on their noisy, amplified hair-dryers. At the minute, they've parked up and are revving them for some strange reason that only another cretin can understand. Oh wait, they're racing now. fking die, please. Please brake too hard at the bottom of the hill, and go head over heels to land on your scummy little toothless face. These little scrotes have been at it all fking day and I cannot bear this much longer. Tried putting some music on, still hear the scooters.

Suggestions of what to do? Apart from setting a cheesewire trap across the road?
Call police, keep calling them, they will give them a section(something) warning for anti-social riding, then if stopped again it will be bye-bye hairdrier!

They do it because they don't have a life, and they think it's cool because most of their mates still have pushbikes!

...and usually because they haven't yet fallen off (no doubt much like the guy I saw today trying to text whilst riding one on a busy road).

I'm sure if I think back long enough we used to have 50's at 16. OK ours were DT, TS, ER, AR's and the like but I don't doubt we used to boil people's wee-wee just as much back in the day.
When I was 17,teens my age all had 2 stroke geared bikes,and even a few 4 strokes...all between 125cc and 400cc.

RGV's,RS's,TZR's,NSR's,LS's,KR's,RD's,VFR's,ZXR's,CBR's,FZR's and GSXR's... You wouldn't have dared to ride a scooter...this was in South africa,and admittedly the policing of said bikes propbaly wasn't as strict,but I still laugh at the chavvy ones that think their st doesn't stink on their "peds".

Which brings me back to my long lamented bike - a 1450 Harley Fat Boy with full Screaming Eagle straight through side exit pipes so the blast of hot air etc. would kick out directly to the right. Whenever a scooter used to pull up at lights and rev hard whilst looking across at me (I guess to start a traffic light grand prix), a healthy blip of the throttle could actually push them sideways (and always had them slinking away with their tail between their legs).

At least they've got an excuse, they're only kids, they've got an excuse for being noisy & irritating.
What makes you think the OP would enjoy the racket from your noisy underpowered moped any better than theirs.

Just out of curiosity, the OP complains about noisy road users and everyone sympathises. The residents near Hindhead tunnel complain about noisy road users and they are just a bunch of NIMBYs. Could someone explain the difference?

You'll find some of us sympathise with the residents of Hindhead as some of the drivers park outside homes late at night revving the engines and talking loudly if they aren't drifting round the roundabout before re-entering the tunnels sideways in a cloud of smoke. I am surprised the police don't loiter around said roundabout.
