Neighbors and Cart Tuning Advice
I am tuning up a 1981 G1 Yamaha so I change a part or tweak something then take a ride around the neighborhood to see how it runs. I have been repeating this for some time now and I am getting some strange looks from the neighbors. Anyone have any tips for a good way to explain that this may continue for the foreseeable future and is a normal behavior from people that work on their own Golf Carts?

Re: Neighbors and Cart Tuning Advice
I've been doing exactly the same thing as you......for 10 years hahaha
I have visited all my neighbors at one point or another and explained my disease and disorder and addiction. One neighbor actually had me build him a cart. Others have driven my big blocked cart with smiles. One guy across the street rides Harleys, old guy, very cool, he loves my vtwin engine and liked it better when it didn't have a muffler lol. My recommendation is to wave to them when they see you, make sure you smile. Then next time pull in their driveway and tell them all about it. |

Re: Neighbors and Cart Tuning Advice
I am about 2 miles from the golf course so that would get some funny looks.

Re: Neighbors and Cart Tuning Advice
Our neighbors don't generally pay attention. We are a golf cart community so golf carts are like Florida cockroaches. All over the place!

Re: Neighbors and Cart Tuning Advice
Lol yup! People around here don't seem to have a problem with carts as the farm people drive anything down the roads. However I used to trail ride a lot and people were so much more friendly to carts than atv, I could get away with near anything, but we were careful and didn't tear anything up or make a lot of noise. I'd say don't make a lot of noise at late hours, be safe looking around them/etc, most people are pretty cool with GC to start with unless you are up on two wheels or something.

Re: Neighbors and Cart Tuning Advice
15 mph I reach 15 mph before I hit the end of the driveway My cruise speed to my neighbor friends 1/2 mile down the road.....32 mph, nice and easy.... The exhaust is humming at that point. When I get there and park....all I hear is "tink, tink, tink, tink" from the exhaust pipe cooling off
