drew looks real to me ...you can see him under the wheel of the truck when it pans in but yep not nice is it...mind you gives other bikers a stark warning on taking risks and put in here rather than on general and did mark it gruesome...looks genuine to me.
have seen a mate die mesen in similar circumstances and it brought back memories.

 its only 60-70mph too. not really that fast for that bend. no idea what he was thinking, wound it right up way before the apex and just kept it going, loads of lean / turn left in that bike at that speed judging by the video and the bike following Confused

 He's either decided he's had enough of living, or had a front blowout. In the last frame before impact it looks like he decided to try and go the other side of the truck and the truck has veered in the same direction it even looks as if he stuck his left arm out - spooky, reminds me of that photo of the guy that jumped in front of a train as it came in the station and, at the last second, turned round to look at evryone on the platform, (or so he didn't look the driver in the face).

 Nasty!
I think he was afraid of leaning the bike. Very common isn't it?

Dunno about that, i think it's equally bad no mater who's fault it it! Laughing
I did this thing on time also, came in way too fast (i did see the whole curve but it twisted more then it looked) and had to go out the other lane to not go off the road. Luckily there was no car there but what if?
Nice lesson there anyway, guess who's careful in corners now? Laughing
