Answers:
You are safe in a car because it acts as a Faraday cage and the lightening tracks round the outside before going to earth ( cars have tyres too remember).
Wether you survive or not may largely depend on what gear you are wearing.Your helmet may well counduct the charge round your head and some riding gear may do the same, but I wouldn't count on it.

* You then die.
If you were struck on the helmet you would probably die. Tyres do NOT inslate you from the ground, as all tyres have metal beading in them and so are therefore conductive. Also the tyres are not thick enough. One lightning bolt contains many millions of volts and enough power to light a small city for a year, so even if the tyres contained no metal they would need to be about 1/2 mile thick to prevent the arc from grounding through them.

Suzuki RGV250 RGV - M, VJ22, VJ21 what's the difference?
I'm not sure. Do you ride in thunderstorms? If it happens to me I'll try and let you know, if I survive. BTW tires will not insulate you. Aside from the steel mentioned (which actually don't matter 'cause it's surrounded by rubber) the color comes from a large amount of carbon black. Carbon is a very good conductor. That's why they make motor brushes out of it.belive it or not if you get struck by lighting the likelyness of surviving is slim so no diffrence whether on motorbike or not egghead!! ha
