Anything that will insulate you from the ground is good, pump up your airbed hard but you just have to be careful that little bits of metal like zips or laces don't undo your head work.
A lot of people go on about getting rid of conductive material near you, but the secret is to ensure you do not allow conductive things to ease the passage of electicity thorough you. If it looks like you might get some action, then park the bike a bit further away if it looks like it might be a good conductor, but don't go out in a storm to move it. Getting wet through and introducing lots of water into your tent is only likely to make things worse.
I have my experience of electical storms from mountaineering. I've only ever been close once high up in the Dolomites. Don't be too worried about it, it doesn't strike people that often and if you can take some precautions then you massivley reduce the odds yet again.
