In Illinois, we have what they call IPASS. I have one in the car. Went to the IPASS website and registered all the bikes on the same account. I do not even have to carry the IPASS unit with me on the bike. I just go through the IPASS lane. They photo the plate and charge my IPASS account as though I did have the unit on the bike. Great system here (and when I am on the ULTRA, the camera cannot get a good view of the plate because it is tucked under the tourpack, so all tolls are free.)

So it's not just me. Saturday I fishtailed real bad coming out of a toll booth. First time this has happened to me and I never thought of it before, but this makes toll booths a very dangerous thing.

Mass Pike (FastLane) takes a picture of the transaction and as long as the vehicle is a registered fastlane user, it will debit your account automatically. They take a pic on and off regardless if the transponder was picked up or not.
As for toll roads, the Mass Pike is the best maintained road in the entire Commonwealth and I have no problem paying for that.

toll booths are the worst - plus they're usually covered so even the rain doesn't really get to wash the oil off the road
the system shouldnt matter what vehicle you are in - its all radio chip technology that is read from the overhead sensors, so not real clear why it won't read on your bike - if you always carry it in a particular place make sure to move it around to figure out if thats the problem
i avoid tolls, such a pain stopping/neutral/get out wallet/pay toll...try not to bust my *** leaving the booth...and then theres that weird little race to where the lane markings start again - just enough of a free for all to get a m/c in trouble quick
