Coming in my gated community were some guys installing new controllers for the arms that come down. I stopped and asked one of the men if he could adjust the sensitivity, because the arm does not come down on that particular gate after I go through on the bike ( even though the other gate does so just fine). He said that because my bike is mostly plastic, it would not work the gate right. He suggested I screw a piece of metal to the bottom. I asked if I should put the metal under the plastic six cylinder engine. He thought that would work...

The biggest pieces of plastic on my bike is the center and side covers.

I can't help about the shape I'm in
I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to
