This guy has made physical threats against you and others. You need to call the police and report it. Then take your complaint to the management of the apartment complex. Hopefully this would be enough to get him evicted. Like others have said document everything.

i had an 'H' somewhat like that before....the b4stard even took a sh|t outside my apt door and the door opens outward....lets just say it made a bit of a mess when i left that day...I wasn't really happy.

I think the easiest (and laziest (sp?)) course would be to get a handheld tape recorder (like lawyers use and stuff) and record him talking. show him the recorder and tell him you're recording. i bet he gets quite a bit more congenial pretty quick. at least i would.

also, you might want to check state laws on recording conversations. i know in nebraska only one person has to know about the recording of the conversation that is part of the converstation, so it could be you could record and NOT tell him also....

maybe he lives in the 1 special room in your apartment complex where all noise is channeled and amplified to his head

Harley oil system tech tip:
Oil filters only work on the RETURN side of Harleys, where they are interposed between the scavenge section of the oil pump and the oil tank. They do nothing for the oil fed to the pressure section of the pump, from whence the oil goes to the crankshaft.
Enhanced lapping of internal systems may be accomplished by the inclusion of inexpensive fine grit valve lapping compound (see any auto store) well dispersed (lest it clump) in a solution of gasoline, diesel,or kerosene added to the oil tank. A volume about the size of a shot glass is sufficient. Oil cap location is normally visible at the side of the machine below the seat. If not visible it may be assumed to be under the seat, most of which flip up or sideways. Flat-rate charges for such work should reflect about 20 seconds labor time if cap is accessable.
Proper care of caps and adjacent parts includes the removal of fingerprints (which may cause corrosion) from all surfaces after maintenance.
You are now returned to your previous discussion.
Most Harley riders are good folks, but now and again there are some we'd rather see take up jogging.
 

5 bucks says this guy is all talk. Next time he threatens, call the cops to get a report. He does it again, ask him to step outside or STFU. Call his bluff. (Note: Only do this if you think you can take him, otherwise, if he is not bluffing, your in for one hell of a night)

Either way, call the police.

Your landlord has the obligation of providing you with a peaceful and private residence. Sounds like this guy is impinging on both. Write a letter, encourage neighbors to write letters, and call the police when ever H steps over the line.

Worse scenario is that the management and police do nothing. However, you could break your lease in that case.

This was happening to a friend of mine once.

The last time the prick came to harrass him I was there. My friend met the prick at the door with a gun sticking out of his waistband. He didn't touch his gun or even say anything about it... but the prick turned white as a sheet and never came harrassing again.

That's weird that he rides a Harley and yet still has enough hearing to nitpick you... mebbe it's all that crystal meth making him hear stuff??

Does the ol' peeing in the gastank work? I figure it would just cause a whole lotta detonation...

have you heard of "terroristic threatening?" sounds like this is what he is doing next time call the coppers. alot of good into from ATer here so take note.

In the mean time get his name and go to a payphone and report him as a terrorist to the FBI or something... should be good for at least a body cavity search :Q

That's what's *not* going to happen. He's succeeded in having the people below him move out on two occassions. I'm not going to help him out that way.

When my complex office reopens Monday, I'll be having a chat with the management.

Probably been mentioned, but I don't read most of the replies in threads, but filing a complaint against him with your lanlord might be a good idea. Either that or just hire a hitman.

GOOD. I'm not a confrontational person by nature, but situations like this bring out the worst in me. I really wish I were in your shoes, I would make his life a living HELL. That type of sh!t would piss me off to no end. :|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|

Just thinking about is getting my adenaline going. I would get a dog just to sic it on him. And not a small little one but a BIG one, like Rhodesian Ridgeback.And I'd light the dog on fire before I sic'ed him! ARG!!!!! :|:|

Dude, keep us INFORMED on what you do to him. I want this guy as a trophy piece. What an asshat. :|:|

Edit: On second thought, I wouldn't light the dog on fire.
