When I left for work this morning, I set my neighbours car alarm off (which was in a garage). Never had this problem before I had the Termi's fitted so I guess it's the noise! Second time it has happened. Lucky I get on well with my neighbours! Has anyone else had this prblem or is it just a sensitive car alarm?
Not done it to a neighbours car but have set off alarms outside a cafe and various other places, makes me laugh every time :mand:
Does that make me bad?

It's something you get used to running open cans
Mine used to do it all the time until I fitted some db killers

No Dam, that doesn't make you bad. I did have a good chuckle this morning as I rode off with the alarm going :D

There is a newish Golf GTI on my street that is particularly sensitive to my Termi’s… the owner has learned where not to park it now. :)
Happened to me few times with my neighbours cars, but have learned to use clutch instead of revs everytime I pass them.

I used to do the opposite, I could start my bike in the garage and set of the wifes car alarm when it was parked outside :-) :-)

My nice and quiet Monster has the ability to set off the local Nationwide branch alarm off.
One day I will be on Crimewatch as a suspect for testing out response times for the alarm system for a daring 7am raid on the bank!
Multi story car parks are good fun exhaust-ing fun ;)
But I have found out, no matter how much I rev the bike engine, I can not set off the alarm on my Jag! But if an ant farts 10 miles away the Jag alarm goes off... Strange, but true!

I've managed to set off about a dozen cars along the local esplanade as I rode past! I didn't hang around to apologise!

I've only done it a couple of times, think of it as a sign of appreciation! I'm sure the owner appreciates it too...it gives them an excuse to go outside and look at the nice shiny bike :thumbsup: We had a big firework one year that managed to set off a house alarm - that's got to be the next target :D

It makes me feel better about myself that others find it funny too! I can't be a bad person :chuckle:
