I heard that you can overtake in any lane in the states?
I don't think it's so much a matter of "can" as "must" sometimes. A lot of American drivers have no lane discipline and will trot along in the so-called "passing" lane at or below the speed limit, oblivious to all others :hammer:

Technically speaking, passing on the right is illegal in most states. However, I don't think it is ever, ever enforced.

I sure hope you aren't planning to ride the freeway (I-5) from LA to Vancouver, B.C. That would be a really boring and pointless ride. A much better route would be to follow CA-1 (Pacific Coast Highway) and US-101 north, and then US-395 back south. This will give you a nice taste of the best coastal and mountain scenery in western North America.

Another thing to consider: There are motorcycle rental companies in LA, but most (maybe all) probably won't allow you to take the rented bike into Canada. You'll want to check into this.
