I don't know why some bikers do this, but I know you're not the only one that notices this practice. An article in The Citizen yesterday (looked but couldn't find it) had a statement at the end of it that the Bike Week organizers and Laconia PD strongly discourage what my buddy refers to as "the centerliners".

This is the statement made in the article:
— With that said, motorcyclists really need to heed the advice of city and rally officials and stay off the center line. I can't tell you how many times I saw bikes riding dangerously close to oncoming traffic. I almost wore a few as a hood ornament myself and it is downright scary for those of us in cars.
