Riding motorcycles into storms.

[talisman]

I'm not going to c/p this whole thing(it's not THAT long, but long enough), but it was an interesting read, that I can think of at least 5 of you who will appreciate it. Comments are pretty decent, too.

I haven't read the story yet, but I got caught out in a quarter-sized hailstorm once on my bike, no shelter around at ALL, just plowed fields, all I could do was lay on the tank and ride about two miles until I found a house. My shoulders, thighs and chest were covered in big red whelps, which all turned into bruises.

While the storm is literal, most of the storm he is really talking about is figurative.

I got caught in one east of colo spgs. Broke two fingers in the same size storm as above. It was 10 minutes of pure agony

One of the coolest things I have read lately.

I saw a story on the news a few years ago about a motorcyclist riding thru a storm who died when he was struck by lightning and then the reporter stated that it happens more often than people realize. Only under the most extreme cases will I ride in a storm or even in the vicinity of one if I suspect there may be lightning.
