Hit by lightning while riding a motorcycle?
Filed in Motorcycles / Cars on Jun.22, 2006
It is not only possible but it happened in Colorado recently. Apparently a man was struck by lightning while riding his sportbike and wrecked, sliding 150 feet. He was killed instantly. No more riding in thunderstorms for me.

First it wasn’t a “sport bike” it was a Harley Davidson Road Glide, second it was only a moderate rain storm, with only 3 flashes in approx 30 min time span. Anyone who rides wouldnt think it a “bad” storm. It just shows that you just never know. Freak of nature.
