I'm not sure what the law is here with regard to motorcyclists and shared lanes. However they regularly share the lane with others I assume they know. If it is a violation, I've never witnessed it being enforced. I would have been less surprised if they were in a herd of vehicles coming at me, but generally if I see something in the lane ahead of me and there's an entire open lane next to me, I'm going to put my blinker on and change lanes.
