Wow, sure glad I ride with the short one on instead of the tall one.
Never thought about lightening or the sissy bar being a lightening rod...
Something to consider from now on when riding with Rainman..

Year or two back tourists riding horses maybe 8 or 9 of them lighting hit horse killing horse rider was fine just scared as all hell
POLICE REPORT TO CORONER:
Motorcyclist carcass in ditch on side of road. Wrecked motorcycle 100 metres further on in same ditch.
Initial Conclusions: Excessive speed.
Reasoning: If motorcyclist had been travelling slowly, he would not have been at spot where lightning struck. Ergo, he was travelling too fast.
Final Conclusion: Excessive speed confirmed.
Recommendation: In order to further improve government programs for motorcyclist safety, reduce freeway speed limit by a further 20 km/hr.
