Oh, and by the way, many traffic devices with any sort of sensor do not detect motorcycles (traffic lights, control arms at toll booths and parking garages, the drive-thru at Taco Bell, many radar guns, etc.).  I am betting these "smart" speed bumps will be no different, so this may piss off a bunch of Harley riders.
