Noise
- BD (18th Aug 2022 11:49:37)
Has anyone else in Tunbridge Crescent area been awoken by a loud motor cycle at about 4am a couple of times this week?

Not a motorbike. But I believe someone has a very noisy car exhaust in Weylands Close area. Maybe a night shift worker?

Hi BD, It is indeed a motorbike perhaps a Harley Davidson, difficult to make out type in dark. Have woken up 4 times at around 4:30am.
I have got up twice to see a man going to number 9 TC either picking something up or delivering. Only there a minute or so before driving off again. Appeared to be retching on Wednesday night. Very odd, could be a night shift worker.

Heard it this morning around 6 - very long and loud motorbike revving as it was started and then drove off.

Interesting. There's an arse on a bike roars up Midhurst Road between 6.30 and 6.45 every morning, back again around 4pm rev rev rev. Can't report it as, after LS57, he's covered the rest of the reg so clearly knows he's an anti social blight. Sooner he gets his toy taken away the better.

4.10 this morning - becoming a regular nuisance.

Probably the same lunatic that rides his bike on Gunns Farm into Admers Crescent - rev rev rev and speeds down the road - accident waiting to happen.

The police can act on a partial number plate-it's worth speaking to them

Liphook (and Passfield) residents seem very intolerant and rude these days. We have one (or more, you're not sure) persons going to and from work on a motorbike. As long as the vehicle is taxed, insured and mot'd I don't see a problem. Apart from someone's apparent interest in the rider's arse.

Hi,
Whist an annoying early local noise can be, a motorbike is a legal form of transport on U.K. roads.
Noise pollution in society is an ever going problem. People want quietness where they live, but need to accept lives of others in the surroundings.

D-have you seen this idiot going around Gunns Farm at around 50 mph ? It's an estate with lots of children and elderly people. As usual, you are talking out of your a***

Re: Noise
- D (23rd Aug 2022 20:48:03)
Passfield Resident, we've had Tunbridge Crescent; Weylands Close; Midhurst Road and Gunns Farm (note the correct use of semi-colons). Are we talking about one motorcyclist or four? I really don't believe somebody as rude as you was ever a teacher.

Re: Noise
- Jo (24th Aug 2022 06:45:53)
D - if the bike is taxed, MOTd and insured, why does the owner tape over half the reg plate? This, in itself, is illegal.
|

Re: Noise
- Pete (24th Aug 2022 07:28:17)
D- Even if it has an MOT is taxed and has insurance it is still illegal if over a certain noise level. (86db). From what I have heard of this idiot going down the London road it exceeds that. I wonder how you would feel if one of your neighbours was playing techno loudly at 4am outside your bedroom window.

Re: Noise
- D (24th Aug 2022 07:52:19)
Pete, if it was too loud, it would have failed the mot. I suspect it is a two stroke engine which are louder than four strokes, but not illegal. Noisy vehicles don't bother me at all, but I'm from the old fashioned generation who were able to get on with neighbours without constantly whining and bitching about them on social media.

Re: Noise
- passfield resident (24th Aug 2022 08:44:53)
D-thanks again for helping me start the day with a chuckle. You are so old fashioned that you are on here (social media) every five minutes, usually with nothing pleasant or helpful to say.

Re: Noise
- D (24th Aug 2022 08:47:20)
If you're all that bothered by this motorcyclist (or four, that still hasn't been established) why don't you refer to the police? Instead of trying to drum up support on social media like some medieval baying mob on a witch hunt.

As per a number of topics on Liphook website, chat has become slightly insulting. I suspect people are indeed talking about different motorcycles around Liphook. If my neighbor is receptive, I will ask as to the deliveries around 4:30ish in Tunbridge Crescent, could be medical supplies for all I know.

My thoughts on this thread, I doubt if the bikes are going as fast as 50 in Gunns Farm Estate, that's virtually A3 speed, can't see how they'd be able to get up to such speed and stop in those twisty roads, without a speed camera there's no accurate way of assessing speed as a pedestrian, it probably seems really fast to you but may a lot less. Same thing really with decibels, there are sound cameras now that pick up loud exhausts and fine them, but trying to work out the decibels lying in bed is impossible, everything sounds louder when you can't sleep, used to have a lot of lorries going past my house up a hill sounded like an earthquake but we're perfectly legal, like D said it sounds like various motorbike riders going off to work early mornings, maybe NHS workers or anything, bike exhausts are different to cars, not as big for a start and bike engines are more highly tuned so always sound louder than cars we're used to but may be perfectly legal, learn to enjoy the sounds and be glad you're the one having a lie in, not having to ride off to work!

@D
Note you say you “were able to get on with neighbours”.
In the past tense.
Now from how you conduct yourself on this site,there lies a clue,in that you no longer get on with neighbours.
Not unsurprisingly really.
I pity anyone living close to you,with such a demonstration of your constant bickering,and know all attitude.
It must be a nightmare for them.

T-please don't patronise me. I've watched the person in question go down the straight bit of Admers Crescent at around 50. I do know what 50 looks like.

Re: Noise
- D (24th Aug 2022 12:55:41)
Passfield Resident, I also do not believe it is possible to reach fifty miles an hour around Gunns Farm and Admers Crescent on a motorcycle. However, I am quite happy for you to use one of my motorcycles to prove your point. I trust you have ridden motorcycles and are familiar with their handling? You think you can do fifty around Gunns? Prove it.

Re: Noise
- T (24th Aug 2022 13:01:33)
passfield resident, interesting that you chose to describe my opinion about 50mph in the Gunns in terms of being patronising towards you.
Actually I didn't say a bike or car for that matter couldn't reach 50 in the estate, just that I doubted it, obviously I've never tried it and never would, but even in Admers Crescent, the straightest longest bit, they'd need a decent start from the bend, let's say 20mph in the dry with a clear road and a massive burst of acceleration, where for a moment if they could reach 50, they'd need to hit the brakes immediately to avoid the next bend, a fast biker or driver would be needed to give a better opinion on the possibility of that!

T - perhaps if you lived in Admers Crescent you would see for your- self this lunatic driving fast on his bike

Re: Noise
- passfield resident (24th Aug 2022 16:25:52)
Thanks for your further helpful comments gents. The person I'm talking about missed an elderly lady crossing on one of the courtesy crossings near Sainsbury by inches recently as he came up the side of a car that had stopped for the lady at a ridiculous speed. Perhaps you think I imagined this. Perhaps you also think I imagined watching him abuse staff in the chemist when he was picking up his meds. Perhaps you think I imagined watching him being arrested more than thirty years ago. He is well known to the police. I won't take you up on your offer, thanks D-being in your wise and all-knowing presence might make me say something I'd regret-you think I'm rude, but actually it's just that stupidity and anti-social behaviour make me angry.

Passfield Resident, calm down, Dear. It's only a motorbike. I've got "Come on feel the noise" by Slade going round in my head for some reason. Jolly good band.

Re: Noise
- passfield resident (24th Aug 2022 17:40:52)
I think it would be sensible for me to stop looking at this site. Generally if a total imbecile calls me dear I would do something about it that would just get me in trouble. In this case I can't do anything as the imbecile in question is anonymous. This is frustrating, but par for the course on the internet

Re: Noise
- Jo (24th Aug 2022 17:44:11)
T and D. Clearly neither of you have first hand experience of this particular nuisance, so kindly stop droning on so patronisingly. T - you seen a sound camera on your travels? Not round here you ain't. D - of course it has been reported to the police. Both of you - if this bike is legal, the owner would not be illegally taping ovee half its reg. Go and get a subject you can talk knowledgably about instead of banging on about one you can't

Re: Noise
- Liphook resident (24th Aug 2022 18:18:11)
D, by your comment “calm down dear” you are assuming that passfield resident is female. I think you are making this thread far too personal and perhaps the editor should now close the subject from further comments as it serves no purpose.
