Yikes! Absolutely painful to flip through that photo sequence. I've ridden the dragon a few times, but never aboard a sled like that cruiser bike. He clearly ran out of lean angle. Those corners are very tight, often blind, sometimes decreasing radius.

I was looking carefully for signs of heavy braking by the motorcycle, but it didn't look to me like the rear wheel ever locked up.
