And poorly worded my OP may be. There's still no reason to use the shoulder in either scenario. Not when I'm a) going faster than the speed limit and b) there are two lanes open should they decide to go demonstrate their need for speed.

And you're right. Although bikes, and especially sportbikes, do attract a lot of of those personalities that are arrogant, aggressive and unnecessary risk taking.
Is it unfair that the perception precedes even those who ride with regards to the law and their general safety? Yes. But the overwhelming majority of riders I see are jackasses on the road...And they will crash. It's not if, but when.
