Motorcycles and Traffic Lights

I complained to the sheriff about not being able to trigger the light change at a local light, and he said it was set that way so a passing deer wouldn't set it off.

We do have a lot of deer, but unless a big buck walks into the roadbed and lies down on the sensor every night, I don't see how this could be a frequent problem, but the inability of a motorcyle to trigger it is.

Makes me wonder if the intersection was using cameras instead of loops if that's true. I'd check with the local Public Works/DoT instead. He may be talking out of his ass.

Tipping over, that's another thing entirely.

With a 10-speed, and those locking foot cleats, tipping over is so eaasy!

You guys get a lot of injuries from bullets ricocheting off the local deer?

Do they use infared sensors? if not then the sheriff is talking out his A$$
