The answer is a definite "NO." I know individuals often ride the shoulder when traffic is heavy, but it really is not safe and if caught the fine may not be small, in addition to being given points. Its just not worth it. Sit back, turn on the radio, always bring something to drink, and enjoy the view!!

∙ 15y agono "CAN", YES. It is physically possible to operate a motorcycle on the shoulder of the road.
"MAY", NO. It is not legal to operate a motorcycle (or any other motorized vehicle) on the shoulder portion of the roadway for the purpose of avoiding or passing in-lane traffic. Also by strict legal definition the common practice of "moving-over" onto the shoulder prior to a right turn is illegal and a ticketable offense. Although you will get horn honks and possibly rear-ended by following traffic: It is not legal to drive a motorized vehicle on the shoulder portion of the road (whether defined by a change in paving or simply a painted line) for any distance in preparation for making a righthand turn at an upcoming intersection. A vehicle must remain within the traffic lane of the roadway until the intersection is entered, whereupon the vehicle is steered into the traffic lane of the intersecting road, unless the 'shoulder' has been clearly marked as a legal turning lane.
