Yep I'm pretty lucky too , in CA we got super wide roads with bike lanesLuckily the main road in town is almost wide enough to be 2 lanes, so if I need to.ride the shoulder I can. I usually won't unless something is wrong with my bike.
I guess that's why cars like to pass M/C if their riding on the right
But we also got tight spots too where lane control is a must on a M/B
