I would love to have a ride like this in the Seattle area. I don't think I could take on major organizing responsibility, but I know I'd be happy to help in small ways along the way to organizing this. My hope is that many of us volunteering in small ways can help get the job done. And thanks for offering to start this ride up!

I'm working on setting up a time and place so that we can get together and get the ball rolling. Anyone who is interested in helping out, PM me and we'll sort out the details.

You drive a hell of a lot slower than I do, so yah, maybe so Originally Posted by BikeMomma

Oregon is so-so with lots of troopers going through the bigger towns. Washington is teh sux. State troopers have undercover unmarked cars. I've seen an undercover Volvo Wagon
Another fun one is they'll put a trooper on a tractor mowing the median with a radar gun and he radios you in to the coppers up ahead. Cruise control is your friend in WA.

I'm a relocated California driver. I'm forever frustrated by the people in the fast lane up here going well below the speed limit....I guess I'm lucky I haven't been caught. Cruise control just feels so, well, slow
Sorry, threadjack over. Back to the ride!

(MAJOR threadjack)
Yup, back in the day I used to know most troopers from Seattle to San Diego on a first name basis I grew up in Merced and CHP is VERY laid back compared to up here. From Seattle north, it just gets worse. Lynnwood to Marysville is a cash cow for the State. I've seen the mower several times up that way. +10mph and you will get nailed. I was trying to convince SWMBO that I should get a motorcycle to save money on gas and she correctly pointed out that A) A Ducati is not any way to "Save" money, and B)That the tickets and insurance would bankrupt us forcing the Duc to be sold anyways so why go through all the pain and agony? Why do you ladies have to be so RESONABLE?
