[HoE] Road Warriors Question

We're not sure we understand the weapon mounting system.

Particularly, page 79.  Under The Weapons, it says, "To mount a weapon, 
simply pick a weapon and a mount type, determine the TOTAL Load Points (our 
emphasis) for the combination, and compare it to the Load Limit OF THE AREA 
you wish to mount it in.

But up above, for Servo Controls, it notes:  "Because of...heavy-duty 
electrical servos...the LPs from these controls count against the mounting 
area's Load Limit.

Doesn't _any_ mount count against an area's Load Limit?  So why does the 
Servo Controls area reiterate this?  This kinda implies that normally the 
Mount LPs don't count against the area's Load Limit, and the Servo Controls 
are an exception.

It must be admitted, designing motorcycles can be a bit tricky, since you 
only can put weapons on the front and back of size LP 1, since a mount 
always takes up at least one other point, for a total of 3+ for a 2LP 
weapon.  Except for the sides, but we had trouble visualizing most of the 2+ 
LP weapons mounted on the side as fixed mounts.  Which brings us to this...

How do areas on a Motorcycle work, exactly?  The Mount Location areas on 
page 77 don't include the "Handlebar" area listed for Street and Dirt Bikes. 
  Presumably it works and is limited similar to...Hood?  Front Fender?  
Something else?

And the Side description seems a bit odd, since the "Side" description under 
Mount Location talks about stuff like "the long sides of big rigs...".  
Granted, there's no real difference between the Side Location and the Door 
Location, so either one should work for Motorcycles.  But it still seems 
mildly odd.
