There is a bill pending in the Massachusetts legislature to allow
motorcycle operators to, "Overtake and pass slowed or stopped vehicles
by use of a breakdown and/or access lane, at a speed not to exceed
twenty miles per hour;", as long as they yield to emergency and disabled
vehicles.
It is known as: AN ACT RELATIVE TO SEASONAL TRAFFIC RELIEF FOR
MOTORCYCLE OPERATORS, House Bill 2017, and can be found at:

I wish I had known about this earlier, there was a hearing held on this
bill on Tuesday.
It may be too late, but if you're a Massachusetts motorcyclist, and
you're interested in this bill, contact your state Representative and
Senator to let them know how you feel about it.
