Try to move onto the shoulder.

Use the left portion of your lane.

When being passed, the center portion of the lane is generally the safest lane position for a motorcyclist. Riding on the side nearest the passing vehicle increases the risk of colliding with it. Riding on the side farthest from the passing vehicle can also be dangerous because it may prompt the driver to return to your lane before it is safe to do so.

Stay in your lane.

Merge into the next lane, if possible.

Not worry about it, since they are the ones trying to merge.

Shift up through the gears.

Shift down through the gears.

Take the bike out of gear.

You should shift down through the gears with the clutch as you slow or stop. Stay in first gear while you are stopped so you can move quickly, if needed.
