Caught by camera at a record speed, then (several years later) dead in a very high speed crash. The camera didn't save him did it? Surprise! It did nothing to address (and may have worsened) the (probable) underlying attitude problem.

What is/ was that bike? It's a honda of some sort, but is it an old NC30 or summat? How do we know it was doing 155? Not sure it even could do 155. what is the fastest the rider could have survived a crash like that?

The speed has been estimated, and judging by the amount of impact damage it sounds like a fair estimation to me.

All depends on how exactly you fall off and what you hit in the process.
I have seen a sloped rider die at less than 30mph, and I personally have got up & walked away after hitting the tarmac at around 140.
