He regained control and leaned too hard and the rear tire came off the ground. He got ejected off the bike and died instantly. His best friends were right behind him and watched it all happen.
anything at a that speed there really isnt much coming back from. regardless of how good of a rider are, at 150mph, the bike still wants to go straight. and that section of 17 is in sort of a valley per say, and everynight theres water running across it. so i think that may have had something to do with it
