Default About passing other bikes...

Being new to riding with only 300 miles on my M50, I ran accross something today that got me wondering. I was cruising on the freeway today in the right lane going about 55 or so. A group of maybe 15 - 20 Harleys came up behind me at about 70 or so, and about half of them passed me in the second lane to my left, while the other half passed me on my right in my lane. Is passing a bike like that in the same lane accepted? Made me a little nervous, a couple of those guys got pretty close. They were not being aggressive towards me, at least not obviously so.
