I'm going to keep this factual.
We live in a very quiet cul de sac. Our house in on the corner, two drives (yay) so this isn't a parking aibu.
Please refer to attached (very poor, sorry) diagram for your welcome responses on my aibu.
Our lounge/sitting room etc is at the back of our house.
For the last two years (on occasion, to quantify - that means weekly) bike boy gets on his 'dirt bike' so not a proper bike but one I think is used for 'playing on' and revvs and wheelies this bike on the 'grassy area' behind our house. This is NOT our land. The council (when they can) cut it. It's a large area, the little kids in the close play there on their bikes, chase, etc. Not a problem.
He begins his 'performance' by revving loudly from his house and races down the road (distance of about 10/15 metres and mounts the kerb just to the right of our second drive which has no fence (we are not allowed one).
He then proceeds to wheelie, rev and generally arse around on the ''grassy area'. The noise is horrendous, I hear it in my dreams.
On Sunday this started at 4.30pm. It went on until 7.45pm. Yep, it was dark and he has no lights but he wears a helmet.
He is about 14.
The grassy area to the side of our drive is a mass of churned up grass and tyre marks, as is the road/pavement by the kerb/driveway.
I went out on Sunday night as he was revving and wheeling at 19.13. As I approached Bike Boys House, another neighbour (the people house) was complaing about the noise to Bike Boys dad. I nodded to them and added 'it's actually worse for us as he revvs to get up the kerb onto the grass outside our sitting room window and he's been at it for nearly three hours'.
Was met with foul language from the dad and 'no he's not' etc etc. I went back to my house but I did state it was very anti social and I'd be contacting the local council (I did, via email). The behaviour continued for another half an hour.
Bike Boy's dad leaves for work at 7am, BB goes to school.
I work from home Mon, Wed and Friday. Yesterday at 16.24 it started again. It went on until 9pm. BB and Dad seemed to take it in turns to be even worse with the revving (right by the back of my car which is parked on the rear driveway). I suspect it was on purpose.
Haven't heard anything back from the council, but last night was a bit scary, I'm worried now I've started some big argument.
The revving is going on as I speak outside and I'm awaiting the wheelies to begin.
WIBU to have even mentioned it, the 'grassy area' I assume is public land.
(The cat in the garden is for comedy value).
