This isn’t as uncommon as people think. I found several cases in the last five years with a quick search. Heck, a Dakar rider got struck two years ago apparently.

Car s get hit pretty frequently but the results are often completely inconsequential to the driver.

I wouldn't ride my bike, let alone a motorcycle, while there's a thunderstorm going on.

But I’m not mad at all. Sometimes, you just have to stuff off your chest/c onscious.

I wonder if it was the lightning strike or the crash that killed him.

By the look at what's left of the rider's helmet, I say the former.

I wasn’t expecting that! But apparently, Discerning pointed out it happens often
