I have a neighbor that's the same way. My bikes might be loud, so I putter through the neighborhood to show respect to those that live around me (the population density is high relative to the area). Once I'm out of the neighborhood I'll open it up.

My neighbor with the Harley putters into the neighborhood, then roars the final two blocks to his garage at full throttle. After arriving at his place, he revs up the bike for another 30 seconds, listening to the reverberations of his straight pipes on all of the buildings around him.

I'm tempted to have something ready to toss out into the street in front of him the next time he decides to go tearing through at twice the speed limit.

He'll get to enjoy breakfast 10 miles up the road.

I think it could injure him. boiled or not. Also, I don't think you can aim that accurately, what if you hit someone else? or hit him in the head?

You should place a sign on his bike telling him that he's too noisy and irritating people.
Then if he doesn't respond positively, plot your revenge.

Without fail, a guy goes home every night on his Harley around mid-night making a lot of noise. I can see him parking his bike on a terrace clearly from my bedroom window with no obstruction, about 400 feet away sightline.

I plan to make an egg-shooter. My question is, if the egg i launch will carry enough speed to strike this mofo with an AOA about 45 degree down, will he be injured? I mean, i don't wanna kill him. I only wanna make a mess.
Nah, you won't hurt him, Mythbusters worked all that out with the "drop a penny from Empire State building" tests.

A penny ain't an egg, much less a boiled egg.

Ever seen the dents egg-sized hailstones put in cars?

I dunno about raw eggs, but a boiled one…ouch.

They used other items in the test, you'd need much more mass than a hard-boiled chicken egg to injure someone from the distance indicated in the first post. Granted, it would sting if it hit bare skin, but that's about it.

Ostrich egg. Thats like 20-24 chicken eggs. I'm thinking serious cranial damage if the targeting is done right.

And judging from the picture that'll be one hell of a shot.

Might I suggest you contact Sony' ad agent. I think 100 of these launched via potato gun directly at him would send the message quite nicely. Plus, you should have to worry if you aims a little off :-D

What, me worry?

Yeah, like in mine, for example. Which you’d know if you’d ever tasted my pea soup.
