WOW! I've never heard of that happening before. Amazing that the guy was able to maintain control and stop safely!

Couple of years ago a small group of us met for a little Gathering in Eureka Springs, Arkansas.  I rode through a wicked thunderstorm on the way down.  I remember stopping in a town called Cassville to put on the rain gear and seeing the storm ahead of me.  Don't remember much until about 18 hours later though.  Apparently when I got to Eureka I was  babbling a bit and talking about a lightning strike right next to the road as I rode by.  Rain gear, me and the bike also had some crispy tree debris on us.  To this day don't know how close it was.  But it was close enough.

Screw excuses....   Do it because the looks on other people's faces are entertaining .

That was one lucky guy!

Wonder if his bike still runs right? Years ago lightning struck my company car, a Ford Taurus while I was driving, ruined all the electronics on board, over $10K in damages. I actually thought I was dead for a few minutes, felt like an out of body experience. Another driver stopped and told me later that I was standing in the middle of the road in the rain, don't remember any of it. Probably babbled too.

I remember that also. I never will forget when you came out of your room the next morning
and you ask me how did I get here? Did I ride in?
