    The Federal Government classifies this vehicle as a motorcycle
    What does that mean? Are you saying that there is a federal statute or regulation that says this? If so, what statute or regulation says it? If it's neither a statute nor a regulation or you don't know the answer to this question, what is the basis for your statement that the "[f]ederal [g]overnment classifies this vehicle as a motorcycle"?

    If the federal government recognizes it as a motorcycle can I successfully argue that the supremacy clause of Article 6 of the U.S. Constitution allows my right to be treated as if I was legally riding a motorcycle in the HOV lane?
    I'd have to read the applicable federal statute or regulation to answer that. Also, were you on an interstate highway? State highway? Some other type of road?

    For two months I have been taking advantage of the HOV lanes, I thought legally passing and being passed by State Police some even giving me the thumbs up at the odd looking bike. Then this week I was stopped by a trooper that said all of his fellow troopers are wrong.
    Just because Cop #1 didn't pull you over doesn't mean he/she was "wrong" about anything. I regularly exceed the posted speed in plain view of cops all the time but haven't received a speeding ticket in over 25 years.
