In my opinion, the biker is completely at fault. One thing all riders are taught is that you have to be aware of everyone on the road and assume they never see you. As a biker, you're the one paying the price, not the car or truck you hit. An apprentice of mine lost his life in an accident that is the same as this. Protective gear or not, there is no gear in this world rated to take a direct impact at 165kph. Gear is generally tested for it's capacity to mitigate damage from slides, not the force of an airborne impact. When you ride outside of what your gear is protecting you from, you're always at fault.
