Not to sure about being hit by lightning. It sure would look spectacular though.Wow. just had about 5 or so lightening strikes outside work in the last few minutes - i think i'll leave the bike in the work garage for the weekend (this way i can drink too!

If you were moving you'd presumably be insulated by your tyres. Stepping off might be interesting.

Perhaps a lightning strike would put the power back into the Magic - it worked for Marty McFly when his flux capacitor was short of grunt.

Ironically he was just telling me how he had fixed the porblem with it before he met me for lunch... Wonder if its still OK now?!

Immature and proud of it.
Not Suzooks - too fast.

\<\------look a bike
There was a good article on Top Gear where the hamster sat in a small car (VW?) at Siemens high voltage test facility. They zapped the car with simulated lightning and he and the car were ok.
From memory the lighting encased the shell of the car but didn't enter it.
Not sure the same principle would apply to a bike though. However, lightning hits tall objects so around town you should be sweet - power poles, buildings, daleks etc etc.
Just don't go playing polo on your motorcycle along the local flat country plains....

Blaaaaaaaaarg!
I went out to get some fish and chips, as soon as I hit Lambton Quay, BAM! The Heavens opened. Quietly regretting my decision to wear nothing over my jeans, I trundled my way to Molesworth St where I consoled myself with an excellent $5 meal deal.
