The neighbor who bitched was a guy not a girl.
And this guy, since I've lived here, parks his truck so close to the entrance of our driveway (when he's not parked in his driveway) that it makes it a pain to park the car/s so that there far enough to the edge that I can get the bike between them. But I don't complain and I just deal with it/figure it out. Because the road isn't my property and he can park where ever he wants, as long as it's not after where my drive way exits.
doh, he's not breaking the law, you are. A simple visit by your neighbor to the police chief identifying your illegal action and insisting he enforce the law will end this problem for him. Chief will most likely send an officer over to your house to explain what you are doing is illegal and advise you to stop it.
Best of luck though!
I usually drive my motorcycle onto the sidewalk in front of the neighbors house to get to my driveway. Because were slightly on a hill it makes it easier to back my bike into my driveway, also on an incline. The neighbor just complained to me about "Don't ride that bike onto MY sidewalk." My response to that was "the towns sidewalk??" which he replied, " it's a public easement, still my property and I will call the police and file a complaint if you do it again.!" Is what I'm doing actually illegal and or something I can get in trouble for/ticketed.?
Read the thread and you'll know why I can't just back it in. I'm on a hill
Ok, finally got around to read the thread again.

You didn't say you couldn't back it in from the street, just that it's easier to back it in if you go on the sidewalk.
