Cr@<hidden> - Another road hit by the CHP enforcement. This excerpt is from a friend of mine who rode it this weekend on his sporttourer of all things:

"Boquet is under heavy CHP patrol looking specifically for bikes (with modifications). I should know. At the start of Boquet on the only straight, I pass a car with Radner rapidly coming up on me, as soon as we pass, we see a totally white CHP radar unit on the shoulder...SH*T......! We roll by him and he doesn't move, we go around the next right hander and a CHP Interceptor is all lit up blocking the road. We slow and he waves us next to him, and points at me to pull over and let all others go. He says they got me at 85 in a 55. He was real nice as I explain they must have gotten a fix on that blue sportbike guy (Radner) about to overtake me. I think they really did 'cause Mike was going faster about to pass me (where he shouldn't of as I am passing a vehicle!). The cop seems to be thinking about it. I couldn't f*ckin' believe it! WHAT THE F. He radios the Radar Unit for a desription of the bike. (I am on the black Sprint with bags). I hear over the radio "He's on a black bike with saddlebags wearing a black jacket." Cop #2 asks "What color of helmet?" Cop #1, dark helmet, {long pause}, maybe blue. I am thinking, "DAMN, ticket for sure!" Then Cop #2 says. "Well it sounds like we may not have the right guy, there is some doubt here. And your bike looks expensive, one doesn't modify a bike like that, we are looking for illegal mods also. Since we aren't sure you are the right guy, we'll let you go, have a safe day." WHAT THE F*CK!!! I ain't sh*tting you. No lies. He lets me go, when the description was perfect! So I take off to catch the group. Just as i hit about 55, another CHP Interceptor is around the next bend. I am guessing to block the road if anyone tries to evade pull over. Barely avoid ticket # 2 ."

Looks like the residents are getting done with it.

You should post this in Pacific forum.

I've never seen that kind of crackdown on Bouquet, but I have seen the motor cops park at the bottom off to the side. Thanks for the heads-up...will be taking it easy up there for sure on the weekends.

Never seen coppers there either , but I have been hitting ACH every week end ......lots there . But then again squids are crashing everyday of the week end so it makes sense really.
