ZX-14 almost lost to lightning strike
I had moved the ZX-14 outside and placed it under a tree in the front yard to keep the sun off of it while I finished the motor on the R1. An afternoon thunderstorm came up and lightning struck the tree the bike was under and cut the tree in half down to the ground. The half that fell was on the other side from the bike and would have crushed it. Half the tree was left standing. I spent the rest of this evening cutting it down and dragging it to the curb for pickup. I was really lucky.

I didn't crank it up yet. I guess I will today. I hope it didn't get any electrical damage. I was so lucky. maybe my Homeowners would have covered it?
