Lots of interesting stuff baked into this one. Personally I really enjoy the bitching about the cashier who weighs the vegetables as if slow checkout lines don't exist in the west

The weighted thing is true, but it's kinda useless if you're on a motorbike. (I think it's kinda like one of those things at the gas station that ring the bell rather than a real scale). Regardless you only really need those on rural roads where there's no real traffic anyways.
They are induction sensors. Just a big coil of wire set into the asphalt. The reason why motorcycles often don’t trip them is a combination of the use of non-ferrous materials to save weight (aluminum doesn’t induce electromagnetism as well as steel) and the significantly smaller amount of ferrous material on the vehicle (smaller engines, frames, etc).
Ohh cool! I didn't know that's how they did it.
you can get magnets that you stick on the bottom of your bike to trigger the sensors just like a car
