There is a big problem with the speed determined from police reports. They look at skid marks and such. People that ride fast and aren't very good riders almost ALWAYS lock the rear brake and skid into whatever they were trying not to hit. This leaves extremely long skid marks especially on sportbikes since they have very little traction/braking force available on the rear tire suggesting more than actual speed. With where this rider hit the truck, it looks as if he could have just swerved around it, yet another telltale indicator of an inexperienced/untrained rider. Sad.....
