Not impossible, it's a common misconception that it's the tyres that protect you from a lightning strike in a car. Not so, it's the metal body that surrounds you that offers protection as the current is directed round it and acts as a Faraday cage. No such protection on a bike and the rubber tyres don't mean shit to 10's of thousands of amps. There have been cases where a direct hit lightning strike on a car has blew out all the windows and burst all the tyres (Or did I see that on television) Who knows, but it sounds good. :lol
