There's very little in that report, so we have no idea how the accident was caused, but it's possible that this was someone's first ride of the year after taking the bike out of winter storage. (Fine weather, fast road, single-vehicle accident ...) If so, it's a reminder to those who lay their bikes up over winter to be a bit careful on the first few rides until you get your skills sharp again. I'm not suggesting that is what happened here, but the point is worth remembering.
A great shame, however it happened, and my thoughts are with the guy's family.
