Well are the bikes road registered? (or for that matter are you in vic?) if so are the bikes road/rec registered?
Best suggestion is a video, but make sure it is time and date stamped as it is slightly less than useless as proof without them. I'd give the coppers a compilation video taken over the course of a week or two. It would be especially helpfull if it was a camera that can do the whole night vision thing.

No, and yes, no.
Video could work but I am not the type to get the law involved.
I am seriously considering putting the MegaCycle CaN back on, they might understand a standoff
It would just be my luck I would get lumbered for the whole noise thing

Option 1, Video to Crimestoppers
Option 2, have the boys round for a 'spanner day', start early, warn all other neighbours
Option 3, spill some diesel on a corner, call council for clean up after they stack
Option 4, Molotov cocktail on their bike shed.

Anyway - I think it had some sort of cable or wire going from one side of the street to the other ....... or maybe I'm wrong - it was so long ago ..........

Do that and the next time it will be one of us

Their bikes would be illegal/unregistered right? Maybe a good video from the window .. or wait video them and make sure they see you?

Bad plan. very bad plan
If they see you, then they will target you.
my advice, If there are 6 of them, then get 10 mates around(the bigger the better), and go and kindly ask them to stop doing it.
If they keep doing it, get the same 10 mates to come around and help you make them stop. As soon as these wankers dont have the upper hand, theyll back off fast, bunch of cowards.

I like your thinking, become real matey with them and get em' real comfortable and the like, then stab the fark out of them with a paper clip

I usta know plenty of um-er rough types but we wont go there except to say it took a long time to quietly wander off and be forgotten.
I reckon the thing is to get them onside and you know be a good bloke to them kind of thing, and casually say you best be careful you lot the fuzz is turning up sometimes, so you know if it were me..... I would keep the noise down a bit especially at night
Then I will be that good bloke down the road who is on their side and they will probably protect my pad man
Who am I kidding, I need some wasteland kind of justice

It works - we call it Urban Counselling up here. Some of those counselled, found it necessary to move out of the suburb.......

i vote for an attempt at the mr.nice guy approach.
you never know they might appreciate some critique on their riding form.
and then when they least expect it ... some inconveniently placed diesel.

Let the police know if they're not willing to assist, you and your mates will take care of it and accept no responsbility for your actions....see if that makes them move.

Yeah bring it around an we will do a few keybangers past their gate at 5am
I may have fixed it, picture this: I can hear them coming from blocks away, so here I am standing in the middle of the road with enough Bundy red and fury in me to take on Tyson , dark night with my black bike gear on, black helmet (just in case I fall over), armed my gazillion candle-watt big mofo torch and lit em up as they come hookin around the corner, they had to swerve to miss, and one came awfully close to parking it up the back of the truck that's always parked there and pissed off real quick past their own house like scared rabbits
I believe it has worked, it has been very quiet of late and I hope they were blinded enough so they didn't see where I exited the arena (real quick) and no retribution as yet
See what happens....
Open to some tips mate

Yeah, thought that too but I would have forgotten about it and become a victim of my own trap, not only that it would effect others.
