Does this make sense?

I'm not an expert in forensics, but that bike just doesn't look smashed up enough to have been going 155 mph. I would expect that it would have been wadded into a ball. I got an email from a friend in which the text claimed that the bike was going 85 mph - maybe closer to the truth.
Does anyone know any more about this/any comments? It's a sad situation, but I wonder how accurate the story is. I believe that things like this are sometimes "embellished" to make a point.

As a Police officer and seeing alot of crashes, I would say 155mph is correct. I didn't work inthe traffic division andI'm not an expert. I don't think an 85mph accident wouldhave that type of damage, just my guess.
