You know its crazy,, it seems like 49 states have no issues with decorative lighting. But go up north and its a new book of rules..
Evidently doesn't bother me,, I camp to relax! Not stew over something so trivial as clearance lights blocking my darkness..
Go Talk to the offenders!!! Or wear sun glasses!!
Had a new neighbor buy the house across the street from me, First weekend he opens his garage and fires up two Harley Davidson Motorcycles and idles them for over a half an hour. Yes louder than a leaf blower!!
Three weeks later again!! Then revs them up a dozen times before he shuts them off and covers them!!
I nick named him Harley Dude every time and had to close the doors and windows to think!!
The next time he did it I walked over and admired the Heritage Softail and Dyna Wide Glide.. Both the same color and both beautiful..
Asked him why he just idled them and didn't go out and ride them..
He told me he bought his Dad the Dyna Glide a year before he died of cancer and he would ride every weekend with his Dad.
Well his wife does not ride and he wants to keep the bikes in good condition but promised his Dad that they would always ride together. Said it would take all day to ride one and then the other so he just runs them together every once in a while.
Said his boy is to young to ride,, but someday they will go together..
He asks me if I ride,, I said yes,, he offers me the Softail so he could ride his Dads bike and would I take a ride with him?
Something we try to do a couple of times a month at least.. Now they go out together as intended..
When i am away and can't be there,, my wife will call or text me to let me know Pat (Harley Dude) is running the bikes!! He's happy and it makes me smile because of i!!
So instead of complaining on a forum where nothing can be accomplished,,,Go ask WHY if it bothers you so much!!
