Motorcycles riding on OUR residential streets are annoying, loud, obtrusive...and yes, there are times that our little road in Keaau gets a lot of riders.... partly because it is a way around the town traffic, and part because there is a cycle mechanic here....but to think anyone could/would say you can not ride here????
In an ideal world you could say 'don't ride here' if you have a noisy bike, but this is not an ideal world. There are cycle riders with quiet exhausts & cars that are much more annoying than the cycles... It would be nice if everyone had respect for everyone, but everyone does not.
From the original post, I think that this is a group that may have respectful riders. To say 'don't ride here on your motorcycle' may not be showing respect for the riders....A better approach might be:
"Please, keep the noise of your motorcycle, car, animals within respectful noise levels, esp. when riding in any residential areas". However I don't think that this will change anyones riding....
