AllanCook,

thanks. i'm worried about the long stretch of country road and the sudden storm hitting me and no bridges or shelter to be found. but then again, faint heart never won fair lady. i guess i'll have to deal with it as best i can when it happens. hey, stories for the grandchildren...

i was thinking of just parking the bike and laying on the ground fairly flat (in my raingear) and waiting it out some distance from the bike. sound stupid??? i'm talking about serious lightning strikes, not just a tough storm. these seem to come up quickly through here on weather fronts on hot august days. they pass as quickly so waiting flat on the ground won't be too inconvenient. better that than zapped. i can't think of anything else to do that would be better. again, suggestions welcome.
