Looks like the rider was pulling over.

Low center of gravity and decent momentum.

Or the cruise control may have been engaged when the rider was knocked off.

I read about this the other day. It mentioned that another motorist had stopped to help the rider. He got in his car and went to look for the bike but never found it. He then went to the hospital. I think he was able to recover it the next day from the police impound.
