Yes, but I don't recall all the hwy numbers...
Hwy 42(?) between I-5 through Winston and on to Coos Bay.
Hwy 35 from Hood River to Mt Hood (especially for Huckleberry Pie at Govt Camp)
Hwy 97 from Bend to 197 and on to the Dalles. (don't be afraid to take some side trips)
I especially like the road from Beaverton out to Newberg (210?)
I can't vouch for the prescence of LEOs on these routes, but they have all been pleasant trips for me.
On the Washington side, there's also that road that runs along the Klickitat river from between Hood River and the Dalles up toward Goldendale (142 maybe?)
I've always wanted to drive the Old Cascades highway through the Gorge, but have yet to do so.
Cheshire to Florence via Hwy 36, passes by Triangle Lake. Then north on 101 to Waldport and then Highway 34 to Southfork road/Alpine rd..
Coming down Highway 20 into Sweethome from 126..
And one that will make you giggle to yourself..229, cut off from Highway 20 intersection, to Siletz, to Kernville, just south of Lincoln City..I think there is less than 3 miles of straight road in the entire 28 mile length. There are a couple of sets of 25 mph curves that will have you switching the wheel about as fast as you can..for 4 or 5 iterations, double even triple esses if you will.

You need to try the Bloggett - Eddyville cutoff from hwy 20. Then pick up 229.

I was going to do this yesterday, but veered off at Philomath and ran up Hwy 34 to Mary's peak. I really love the couple of miles of Hwy 34 before the turnoff to go up to Mary's peak.

YEAH, Baby!
I call that the "Devil's Staircase", and I LOVE to run it when nobody is ahead of me.

Scooter, 229 sounds like one I'd have to leave the wife home...she gets car sick with too many curves, humbug. But I'd like to try it! 22 from Grand Ronde to Hebo is pretty nice and sounds similar, a little less wickedly fun. Keep the ideas coming guys. I need more fun runs too.

I will save this one until you get that GS....

My MIL is here and wanted to go on one of the drives with us..I told her, "you would not like it"..
One of my favorite roads is taking the Rt.53 cutoff to Nehalem from Rt. 26.

You mean like racetracks? Portland International and Pacific Raceways, just to name a couple, sound like just what you need. The price of admission is probably less than the fine on the average speeding ticket, not to mention the wrath you might incur from your friendly insurance profit center.

Well I drive a vert and PIR would not let me in until I put some roll bars which isn't happening. And I am not looking to go crazy on a public road either ... Was just curious.

Favorite Oregon Road
Then pick up 229.
