    Getting the ten word boot trying to respond..WTF?

    If you mean Highway 20 in Skagit then yes indeedy, it is one of the great rides in the PNW.. Best time is June-October but even then, check. It's closed in Winter.

    My club has a yearly ride over and back that goes back 25 years..

    Highway 20 in the pass
    Smokin Nortons burnin gas
    Doorstop Dave and Crazy Al
    Haulin ass..


    This, until one of the really fast guys on a Honda six was passing them, riding ahead and stopping and shooting pix.. Another Dave we call Fast Dave.. LOL

    If it is the one I am thinking of yes it is fun. But watch going through a small town called Concrete. I don't think I have evere driven through there in a cage or on the bike that the local LEò did not have someone pulled over.

    Concrete is a good place to gas up too. High altitude and nifty twisties make for not so good gas mileage.

    Same LEO or his Grandpa in that vincinity for years. A legend.. He's a local and unless you have witnesses, he is an officer of the court and the collective you, ain't. ):

    If a state LEO nails ya, request a venue near your home if you wish to contest. Othewise trial will be held in God knows where. The PA's know all this shit and to them it's revenue sharing.

    During the summer months in the Washington passes, State LEOS are lent out. Mostly newer officers who are full of piss and vinegar. A few ride bikes so ya might get a little sympathy by being cool. They also hide which can be contrued as entrapment.

    Bottom line here is that it's poker.. The LEO may be working 100 miles from his official office. The county court may be 150 miles from where you live. Guess which county court any trial is held. The poker part is that the PA will stall and schedule proceedings to mid-Winter or sometimes the LEO will be on vacation, out sick, or just not show.

    It's still a great ride.. Best eats in Winthop is at "The Ducks Breath" lots of cute skibunnies there too.

    List? Is there some kind of list? What kind of list is this? Am I on this list? And if so, why? Who else is on this list? Who is keeping this list? CIA? FBI? Homeland Security? Why doesn't anyone tell me these things? I think this is yet another American conspiracy against the dictator of the UFRR. I think it time for a formal complaint to the Ununited Nations Social Committee .
