Some of you are extrapolating this into something it isn't. We all expect to hear motorcycles up there on the weekends. The homeowners as well as the 'visitors'. Is it unreasonable to expect people to not go overboard and rev their motorcycle as they arrive and as they depart? I think so. This isn't too much different than someone doing a wheelie or a stoppie as they ride past. It ADDS to the problems we have up there.
The locals, the homeowners, are doing what most of us would do if this was happening in our neighborhood. They are taking action! They meet regularly. They involve LEO's at these meetings. Most of them are reasonable, a few of them are not. Both types deserve our attention. They ask LEO's to do anything and everything to reduce the accidents. They offer to donate $ to help purchase equipment used for speed enforcement.
One gentleman is concerned for his wife, an MD. She is unable to relax on weeknds due to the frequent crashes within a few feet of thir driveway. She leaps into action everyday. She is unable to decompress on her days off. Another family has a difficult time leaving their driveway due to the speeding vehicles. This particular guy knows that it is a challenge when people do the speed limit, but near impossible when many are above 100mph ( he is a former racer, judges speed pretty well, and lives near a short straight )
For the most part, the homowners are looking for a workable solution. A balance. Is that not reasonable? Wouldn't most of us feel the same if we had people speeding and crashing in our neighborhood?
