HOLY HOT-SHOT!!!!
Lucky man! Even if the zap didn't get him, he's still lucky he didn't black out - crash/burn!
Could be a 6,,, Has a ~funky looking~ seat,,, Same Kury bag that Miles uses,,, Arai 3/4 helmet,,,,

I would say the helmet played a large part in him surviving, hows that for a great testimonial for helmets?

Until a few years ago I was under the impression that your tires would insult you from a lightning strike and would pride myself in running through the worst of the worst thunder storms. What an idiot I was! Just google "lightning strikes motorcycle" and you will see it is pretty common. I still ride through some bad stuff but if there is frequent lightning I sit it out.
looks like that might be MILES
Update .......
It is Miles, I can tell by the custom seat and Utopia backrest
what bag is that on the back? kinda like it.

UPDATE ...
Just got off the phone with MILES, yes it is Miles and he is at a Trauma Center. Supposed to be released tomorrow morning.
Has no hearing in right ear and very little in the left. Being kept overnight so they can monitor his heart and keep an eye on some bleeding from right ear. A little shook up with injuries around his head and neck area.
The lightning knocked him out while traveling at 70mph, he came to when the driver of the pick-up truck following him tapped on his shoulder. Miles does not recall how he ended upright on the side of the road with the side stand down.
The Bike was taken to his home by Dale (one of our members), apparently the lightning travelled down his headset cord into the right speaker, fried the HID's and melted the antenna . No telling what other electronics have been damaged.
Hoping for a speedy recovery and that your hearing comes back.
Let our prayers be with you brother.
GOOD LORD!!!! Lucky to be alive in so many regards!!!
We're pulling for ya Miles! Heal up soon!!!!!!!
