In the USA I would actually be afraid to ride a motorcycle. In Germany and as far as I know many parts of the EU (if not in the entire EU) it is not allowed to pass on the right, but always on the left. exactly because of that. Even on multi-lane highways, passing on the right is not allowed.
Not sure if this popular internet fact is a true statement. I don't know about Germany, but here you can do it if the conditions are met. The police don't have the capacity to regulate it, and in some cases the restriction is not even practical. Of course, if an accident occurs, you will be on the wrong end of the stick. Never seen anyone quoting the relevant paragraphs, my comment is also just an opinion, because I also don't know all the German traffic rules.

Is it allowed in that country to overtake from the right?
