you cannot annoy the neighbors.

YOu have to check with your local zoning laws on this. In general terms, if you violate noise levels, the measurement is taken at the property line. So whether you are on your property or not, your noise cannot exceed the legal levels and times at the property line.

Every jurisdiction is different. It can change from county to county, city to city. Why don't you call your county/city police department and ask them. They will know.

Most noise ordinances do not go into affect until 9pm so yes you can ride.

Do not expect to become popular with the neighbors.
