Lightning Strike Alert
Phil, I thought you were joking about this, until I looked it up. I am surprised that Andy Goldfine didn't just send me one automatically. :icon_frown:

So you’re happily riding out in the great wide open and you notice a storm approaching. It’s a beautiful scene… just you, an approaching storm, and a 500 lb lightning rod under your body. FEMA estimates that strikes kill 200 people and seriously injure 750 more per year — including the occasional rider. Protect yourself with this detector. It will let you know if a storm is approaching or departing, and will alert you of approaching strikes up to 40 miles away. A good thing on a grey wet day or long night ride. We have no clue how this thing works, but it really does. Small, dependable, accurate and effective. Comes with belt clip, and easy to use bar or fairing mount. Included batteries last up to 100 hours. 2"×2.75", 3 oz.
Miles, I am interested in this product as we get a lot of lightning strikes here in Alabama!

Looks good. Who's going to be the test pilot?
Don't suppose it should be Miles...pretty sure I heard the lightning say, "been there, done that". :yikes:Quote:

To this day, I still have a 'built-in' lightning detector. :nono:
Airplanes use strikefinders with great accuracy. I suppose this will work well too.Quote:

Cheaper to get one of the lightning finder apps available for Android and iPhone platforms. Unless you want your bike equipped with multiple single purpose farkles.
