While I've been in the SF Bay area for only a year, my experience
coincides with yours: in my travels South to San Luis Obispo, North to
Ukiah, and East to Sacramento, I've yet to see a single CHP radar. Of
course, since most of my previous driving was done in Hawaii (where
they've stopped using radar, and have switched to laser, over health
concerns by the PO union), I may not know what to look for. <g>

FWIW, I've also gone ticketless for a number of years now, following
pretty much the same strategy.
