At least the story did not end with whether or not he was wearing a helmet.

Yeeeowwwza!

Someone upstairs must have been mighty angry at this person!

[American Quilter]

Good grief, poor man. The whole front range is a lightning magnet, and Colorado Springs, where I live, is particularly bad. We're behind only Orlando, FL for the highest number of lightning strikes per year. More years than not, at least one golfer is killed by lightning strikes. "Lookit that thunderstorm! Hey, hand me my 5-iron, willya?"

I guess God's finally had enough of the Hell's Angels.

[xpertskir]

I used to live out there. There is NEVER lightening. Talk about bad luck

[PeterFinn]

Damn! The mods on this site need to dial it back a few notches on their *ZOT!* powers!

>A motorcyclist died after he was struck by lightning while riding in rush hour traffic between Denver and Boulder, police said.<

Poor guy! I wonder if he was struck while he was still, with his feet on the ground?

Could he have been struck when he was in motion, with his feet on the motorcycle? Wouldn't the rubber tires have protected him?

No matter where you are, the Rovian Weather Machine (RWM) will get you.

[redhead]

Whoa! Duuuuude!

[1rudeboy]

I wonder if he was having one of those "May God strike me down for thinking this" thoughts.

[Gingersnap]

Lightening is a big factor out here, no doubt. I was going east on I-70 a few years ago and I had just come out of the mountains. A bolt struck a tree in a parking lot next to the highway and chunks of that thing exploded all over. I had just glanced at the tree before it was struck and I couldn't see anything for a few seconds because of the brightness.

Let's just say that I will never use a land-line during a thunder storm.

[Cobra64]

He was zotted.

[beltfed308]

The nanny statists will require lightning rods on MC's next.

[SFC Chromey]

OK, but was he doing 142 trying to outrun the lightning bolt?

When my wife and I were buying our two Miatas, the salesmanager was giving us a hard time.

We had driven the cars a few days before and decided to get both at the same time.

When we showed up to get the paperwork done, a freak lightning storm rolled in. Not much rain, but lots of lightning. In fact, just as we entered the showroom, a bolt hit not more than 50 feet from our old Mustang...more than once.

As we sat there, the salesmanager had the audacity to say, "Now, we aren't going to dot he paperwork unless you are serious about this." I stood up and pointed outside, "LOOK OUT THERE!" "DO YOU SEE THAT STORM? If we weren't serious, we would not have gone through that to be here. Now, get us our cars!"

I worked at the dealership a few years before. This was the same manager who I chewed out for screwing me out of a sale because he was such a jerk to a customer. I bought from the dealership because the owner was one of the best men in the business.

I knew motorcycles were dangerous!
