For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.If the bike is a four cycle engine (oil is not mixed with the gas) it could have condensation forming in the tank and subsequently re-freezing in the gas lines. Straight alcohol added to the fuel to the ratio of about 10 to 1 will eliminate the problem. There are commercially available products for this purpose as well...
Alternately, the bike could be experiencing carburetor icing. This can occur at reasonably warm temperatures, especially if the humidity is high. Again, the alcohol deicer could help, but warm air directed from the engine is best cure...
Apparently the carb iced over causing the back wheel to lock up and he had a nasty accident (or was killed).
