You a screamer then !!! lol
On a serious note. I think you could try the council... your allowed noise upto 11pm and I know taxi's here can't do their horns before 8am...
but if you think thats bad. Get tinitus in both ears. I hear a ringing 24/7 when I first became infected it was so loud I couldn't hear the tv or anything. Now any noise is a godsend as it puts me off the ringing in my head and I can sleep.

Get on to the RNID, they have stuff for tinnitus sufferers. I've had it for about 20 years now, and a few years ago went for tinnitus therapy, as it was really, really getting me down. Have to say, it helped, and I can cope with it now.

I feel guilty when I leave for work in the morning upsetting next door... but this feeling soon subsides as the sound of my scoob makes me glad to be alive and I endevour to share this glorious noise with the rest of the neighbourhood.
Although the to*ser next door gets his own back early on a sunday with a K X-500!!

Perhaps if you speak to him and explain he might push it a little way and start it up there ?
Dont know why bikes have to be so bloody noisy, Mopeds sound like a wasp in a can, Sportsbikes are noisy as standard and then most get fitted with an aftermarket Megaphone and Harleys just sound ****, and the chimps that ride them ride around thinking they are oh so cool but in reality they just look like an accountant at the weekend trying to be all Hells Angel and cool, "look at me" WOP WOP WOP WOP.

As a biker I can understand how annoying a noisy machine can be if you are trying to sleep. Harleys seem to have the minimal amount of silencing and I think that is unfair on everyone one else within earshot.
I reckon that people should keep the noise down to avoid inconveniencing the neighbours, care with throttle handling can help a lot too.
There is nothing to be proud about when it comes to deliberately making loud noises just to try to impress everyone and advertising what a star you are with your irritating powerful bike or car.
