Puget Sound/Seattle NW Area Riders Meet HERE!!!

I'm jealous of those of you out playing in the snow over the weekend. I finally got my quad cleaned up from last weekend. The wife forced me to go shopping last weekend after Tahuya -- no time to clean.
Well the legislature is back in town and my riding days are in hiatus until May. Though, I may try to sneak in an afternoon here or there.
Of particular note is that ATVs are on the agenda for this year. On the good side, Representative Bill Hinkle introduced HB 1003 to allow ORVs (including ATVs) on nonhighway roads. This would let us ride on DNR and Forest Service roads!
On the worrisome side, HB 1029/SB 5031 would enact all sorts of new regulations on ATV use. New regulations would include mandatory safety training certificate to ride on WA public lands, minimum 12 years old to ride 70cc to 90cc ATV, minimum 16 years old to ride 90cc or greater, under 16 would have to be under direct adult supervision to ride on public lands, mandatory lights/brake lights/muffler/spark arrester, mandatory eye protection, mandatory helmet, ban carrying a passenger, ban sales of 70cc or greater ATVs for use by persons under 12 years, requirements around road crossings including having headlights on, BAN riding on public roads except for crossing, bans crossing limited access highways. So, parents of ATV riders will want to review this bill closely as will those who ride on public lands (i.e. all of us).
So, the fun has begun. It didn't take long for the new legislature (which is controlled in all branches by Democrats) to jump on ATV regulations. For more information go to http://www.leg.wa.gov/ and enter in the bill numbers (just the numbers not the HB or SB).

Honestly in his defense though, this is not "taking down the wallpaper", it is scraping every inch of the kitchen walls and window areas and if you're lucky, getting a 12 inch area clean in about an hour.

We get so sick of working on it that we ignore it for a few weeks hoping it is all a bad dream [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
Old wallpaper and old walls suck.....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]
