Loud Motorcycles

Blah, blah, blah! Blah, associated... laugh my butt off, blah, blah, blah! Ha ha ha!

Zip it? You don't even live in Ct. so don't tell me to do anything. Mentioning HA on here? Are you kidding me or just incredibly stupid? Janet is out.
You, and everyone else on this page really need to back off. I was threatened, insulted, and completely misunderstood. I don't believe one group has the right to dictate how another lives or what they drive.
Go back to NY. This can and has gotten very ugly. I am too "associated" to deal with these common folk so as far as i'm concerned, it's a dead issue.

Janet, zip it. Nobody cares who you are or how tough you are. Most people quit the tough guy bs after high school. I live in NYC and there is very little motorcycle noise, even when I lived a block from the Hells Angels. New Haven is a little out of control. Period. It is a quality of life issue for most people. I think it comes down to maturity of the populous, police enforcement and downright respect for ones neighbor, all of which New Haven could improve upon.

Jeeez, what an unbelievable connection between dumb people and motorcycle riders. Threats of physical harm and idiotic arguments! I guess they are as dumb as they look. Sorry to fan the flames but I don't take kindly to stupid threats. Internet threats are not tough and real physical threats by adults are even dumber. Grow up.

whatever name is its or whomever u are who cares, i just wanted to make sure that some of my neighbors werent using my name to say what they r scared to say, ill still give u respect after ur sarcastic remark because after all i happen to agree with a lot of the points u had, i missed out on what went on between janet and u, but it seems it got blown up. this site it to inform, post and hopefully get solutions like streeder said the rest of you get a life, go to a blog site or chat room. and no those marks arent only jap bikes they are from cars that stop a the corner and peel out the rest of the way,i had a jap bike and i didnt spend hours at 1am trying out new tricks and burning rubber on a corner for hours at 1am because its built for speed. come on. the issue here not a back and forth patriotic debate and so on its the lack of respect of some poeple that find it cool to hang out in front of ur house at 1am on bikes or cars being inconsiderate thats all, we pay taxes, while around fairhaven most that adapt to that lifestyle either sell drugs or live off their girlfriends on wellfare the rest of us still have homes here and moving for some because the neighborhood got rough its not always the option. what kind of life is that some have, that hanging in front of someone elses house gathering with the neighborhood crew making noise and praticing new tricks or having your buddies come by in the car to see who peels out the best...........im sorry but thats pathetic and this is our only poing of discussion from day one. its never been an attack on bikes, just to those individuals that have no respect. and for the police nad aldermen being aware of some problem areas and not addressing it the way they should.

This is a serious quality of life issue.

This is the main reason why people avoid State Street, at least when they are looking for a place to live (or, if they already live there, thinking about renewing their lease).

I would love to live on State Street, but would never consider it for one very simple reason: motorcycle noise.

Hope this helps some of you put things in perspective.

You have the right to ride your motorcycles all over rural roads throughout Connecticut -- but when residents, property owners and politicians wish to control noise so that their neighborhood can simply survive as a livable place, they have the right to ask for enforcement of city laws.

I hope that the city will swifly crush this type of antisocial behavior.

Fines need to be raised because they are not in proportion to the damage done from these motorbikes. The fine should be at least $1,000 per offense.

In addition to muffler-generated noise, wheelies and speeding are a serious problem as well.

dave NONE of us want anyone hurt. we simply want people to respect our need for quiet.
the issue here is the people who line up their motorcycles @ 2 in the morning and reve up their engine over & over. we need to get up at 6 in the morning to go to work, and don't understand why suburbanites think it's ok to wake us at 2:30 in the morning.

if that's not you what you are doing why are you here? isn't our desire to not be woken up at 2 am on a week night reasonable?

your objections-that we want people to DIE are hysterical and inaccurate and unfair. please respect our desire to sleep through the night in our homes. Many of the people commenting here are tax paying residents who are bewildered at the tone and direction you all are taking this argument. you would be angry if people woke you every night. please understand what is being asked and stop attacking us. and be thankful none of us are inconsiderate enough to be so rude to your neighborhoods.

24 motorcycles went down on a highway in Oreegon because the CAR in front of them stopped suddenely. 4 dead, 17 gritical. I'm sure all the haters out there will celebrate this. YOU make me sick with your ignorance. As for the attacks on Janet, I speak only to her. Don't waste your time babe, these rigid fools will never get it.

Anyone think Janet gives a @%!@$! about what anyone of you think?

Anyone else buying Janet's fake patriotism? I'm not!

anaika, get over yourself hun, nobody was talking to you. it was A N I K A .

Streever. If you can read properly, I did not threaten to beat up Anika. She asked for my address. YOU have no idea who YOU are addressing so why don't you just stay out of it. This started out as people trying to explain differences. It became a ridiculous exchange of threats because some people have no other way to express themselves. As for the comment about skid marks on Atwater St. , those are street bikes. Jap bikes are built for speed and the people who own them are the ones doing the street racing. I get very annoyed by alot of things people do on the street in front of my house. But for the ignorant, here is a reminder. THIS IS AMERICA. LIVE AND LET LIVE. If ift bothers you so much, leave, because bikes aren't going anywhere.

wow, what is all this? and who is anika? i stop in to check whats going on in the area and find this! i live in fair haven and my name is Anaika again Anaika not Anika so i just hope to god that someone is not posting things using what they think my name is. so if there is another Anika out there more power to you, but if one of these ignorant $%^&'s whom may know me "Anaika" confuses me with "Anika" and tries to bring drama or trouble into my life be ready to suffer the consequenses. seems that some of those arguements are ignorant and cowardly from some people anyways, and much of it has gotten out of context. i agree and disagree with some especially those that sound racist. come on people most of us love motorcycles we just dont think is appropiate the way some people purposely in the neighborhood dont consider their neighbors at certain times that all. go to atwater and chatham and look at all the skid marks on the street, thats abuse and neighbors acting a mess and having no respect thinking is cool to use the street as a race track. i had a motorcycle and never once went wilding out on someones street up and down up and down all all times day or night becuase anyone that has any values and was raised with dignity respects where other people live

janet,
what type of person threatens to beat people up over the internet? i'll let you figure it out. You have no idea who you are adressing, and the stupidty of your comments to anika confirm that.
