If it's safe go for it, but take every precaution.
I pass on double yellow all the time on my motorcycle. With the power to weight ration of most motorcycles, you can easily pass safely on nearly any double yellow line.
One thing to consider is that the slow moving vehicle (buggy, tractor, etc...) may suddenly decide to hang a loui and pull directly in front of you. Additionally, it's not always a marked a marked road or driveway.
Recently I was on my motorcycle and came up on a tractor, I could have blasted past him so quick he would have barely even noticed me, but I decided to just creep past him. Good thing I did! Once I was right up to his driver side rear wheel, he turned sharp left into an open field at (his) full speed. If I was even going 15mph faster than Him I would have taken a Camache Crunch!
So, like with anything, just use your best judgement and think of worst case scenario before you take action.
