Space debris :I it's a killer.
That's an interesting question. If your helmet was very conductive it should provide a faraday cage to protect your head but may be more likely to get struck. If you really wanted to make a safer ride (to reduce the very close to zero chance of getting hit to closer to zero), I would put a lightning rod/flag on the bike. Something taller than the rider, conductive with a pointy top so a strike hits the bike not your head. Honestly, I cant see lightning protection as a criteria I even think about when looking at helmets.

Man killed after coming into contact with power line following collision: Hamilton police
Hamilton police say a 21-year-old man who exited his vehicle after a collision was killed after coming into contact with a live hydro line.

“If you're in a vehicle and an overhead power line comes down on top of the vehicle, stay inside and call 911.”
Man survives a collision, only to be electrocuted. Terrible way to go.

Had one chase me down the 401 once, that one missed me
Had a spare truck tire spit out between the rear wheels of a transport on icy roads once :/ couldn't miss that one and the truck driver fled the scene. ... truck had RD RD RD RD written all across the back of the trailer :/ phoned the RD RD RD RD people but strangely enough they did not want to admit to missing any spare transport truck tires.
Trying to figure out how that would work, training wheels?Motivation to keep your feet up on the pegs at a dead stop
Edit: apparently someone has already figured it out.
Lit Motors' C-1 electric motorcycle will stand up for itself
As any avid biker will tell you, motorcycles have a lot of advantages over cars - they use less fuel, accelerate faster, are more maneuverable, can be parked in more places, and don't incorporate the weight of extra seating for passengers who are non-existent on solo commutes. As many other people…

That's pretty cool, would have come in handy when I got stuck in a nasty traffic jam yesterday. But that whole following you around like a puppy, I'm sold lol...
