First, a couple of questions. The ticket claims I was going 80 mph in a 60 mph zone, measured by an SMD. But the officer said I passed his car in traffic. Is it possible to use an SMD while in motion at highway speeds? And if so, it is possible to use one from behind, on a target as small as a motorcycle?
Yes, and yes.

Second, the officer gave me a printout of the ticket, but did not have me sign anything. I received a speeding ticket nine years ago (that was dismissed on IRLJ 2.2d), and had to sign the ticket when I received it. Is this no longer necessary, or did the officer make a mistake?
You're right that it is no longer necessary. I think it changed in 2006.

Third, the address on the ticket is from my driver's license, but that is no longer my address. I stated this to the officer when I gave him my license, and my updated address is on-file with the DMV. Does this mean any notices will be sent to my old address?
Personally, I would contact the court clerk and BE SURE they have your correct address. Double-check the DOL, as well. The courts are only REQUIRED to send notices, etc. to the address on file with the DOL. However, many clerks will simply send them to the address on the citation. If, for example, you don't receive your hearing notice because it was sent to the wrong address, you can get the "default judgment" (failure to appear) set aside, but it's REALLY a hassle. It's much easier to do it right the first time.

You might want to read through this thread, if you haven't already. It will provide you with some procedural information.
