If it's HOV, it's not the left lane, even if it's on the left side.

Once you're in the HOV you can't get out in some places and one asshole binds up the works - if the Harley was being said asshole and he got passed, then
 I the guy on the Harley was going the same speed or faster than anyone else (ie not being the asshole), then

HOV isn't to be always faster. It's to be always moving. There IS a privilege to driving in that lane and it isn't to be convenient to everyone. It is to be constantly moving without the interruption of merging traffic. There is no entering and exiting at a whim. And, there isn't passing allowed unless it's multiple lanes (like those I've been on through Houston). It's a single lane, you would have the Harley tailgate the driving he was keeping a distance from? If the driver that passed him was in such a hurry, he should have tried his luck with the traffic in the herd.

Rider was not in left lane.
Rider was in HOV. HOV is not a passing lane. Rider was going at the same speed as flow of traffic, maintaining same (proper) distance from car in front of him for at least 20 minutes. The flow of traffic in the HOV lane at the time was equivalent to that of the passing lane. HOV lane flow of traffic could be exactly 55 while all other lanes are 85. You cannot pass and you cannot exit HOV unless you are at entrance\exit to HOV lane.
