BobK,
The only way to combat blind lane changers on a motorcycle is to make yourself as visible as possible, including lots of extra lights on the bike and bright clothing.
It also means driving somewhat aggressively and moving around a bit back and forth, left and right in the lane to make sure people see you that way too.
It may appear a little erratic, but when people back off due to the wavy motorcycle rider (who is in complete control of the machine at all times), it is much safer.
