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.

It seems I first saw that car and bike a couple of years ago and the story attached to it was the same, 155 MPH. Usually if those stories are internet legends they change over time but this is the same as I heard it before.
