This morning I decided to ride the ferry on my motorcycle. The state has decided that a bike that is over 8ft in length now has to pay the same rate as a small car. Are you kidding me!? My bike is right at the max length so I am not required to pay this rate but it’s really getting bad when the ferry system is putting the squeeze on motorcycles.

They run two tires, weigh less than any small car and are easily parked on the boat in places that a small car would never fit. These boats aren’t full and space is NOT at a premium. Kitsap county used to be less expensive to live there but the way the greedy bastards in Olympia are, one should consider the real cost. It’s just a matter of time before the 8ft length gets cut down. With the t(r)oll bridges and Ferry System in place, the state has the people of Kitsap county by the balls when it comes to getting on and off the Peninsula. Sure there’s the “free” back roads through Shelton and this gives the State to ability to pretend that they are innocent in extorting the residents of Kitsap but it’s all B.S. and they know it.
Thanks Olympia for effing the peninsula residents in just one more creative way and a big thank you for killing the local economy by slowly driving out the people who bring back the Seattle money into the county.
