That's the first thing I thought of when I heard he was killed on a street bike. Obviously an extremely skilled rider.

Just goes to show you it can happen to anyone I guess.

I would like to hear more about the circumstances. If I find anything I'll post it.

Looks like he may have been avoiding something. There is also a photo of the scene in one of the links.
