    This story just proves that the theory of being grounded by the rubber on your tires will protect you. It will not. What protects you from lightning is what is around you such as the car or truck itself. You don't have that protection on a bike. DON'T RIDE IN ELECTRICAL STORMS.

    I can tell you from personal experience, even residuals from lightning hurt like hell. Like getting hit with a 30 pound sledge over your whole body all at once from every direction.

    Does that mean we are actually connected some way intellectually or spiritually or something? Like long lost brothers or something. Gawd I hope not!

    Well shoot. I guess this means I should remove the foil lining my helmet. Nah. The odds of a lightning strike are just too high to risk allowing the aliens posing as the CIA to access to my brain.

    It is imperative that you are protected against both of these diabolical threats!! :photo: :shower: :alien: :jaw: :kaboom: Use titanium, it works better. Just add a couple of layers of Neoprene slathered with high dielectric grease between you and the titanium protective shell. :twitch: :tinfoil3: :censored: :caked: :pound: :anonymous:

    Ahhh. Titanium. Thank you. I was beginning to feel hopeless. They cannot be allowed to gain access to us all. The start of the free road begins with those that know ws can make our own reality.

    He better check his R/R and all his wire connections.

    The question is, did he pee in his pants before the strike to draw the lightning or was it after?
