Lightening= take cover

Was struck by lightening while in my car, arm perched on the open window frame and as close to the brink of death I ever care to have, the burns healed, the respect is permanent. Do NOT think you are somehow protected by your bike, when lightening is near take cover! FYI structure fires are routinely generated when lightening permeates the ground, and travels along a buried utility.
