Does your Zombie Apocalypse plan involve your bike?

[...]

So... what's your plan for when the time comes?

If I'm at work the plan consists of GET OUT OF LONDON QUICKLY

The "when at home plan" is a tad more detailed:

Pack clothes/usual camping gear/wind up radio/tent/food
Head to local cop shop to borrow a few pieces of body armour and a taser.
Spin past the local barracks, try to get hold of a decent weapon
Hit Millets for some camp stove fuel.
Head to the middle of goddamn nowhere and make a fort.

Comments/criticisms welcome, and post your own

Edit: spelling fail in title

My plan, as much as I would like it to, does not involve a bike. I think I would be too vulnerable. What if you needed to smash your way through something or you couldn't get it started and they are closing in? A car can act as a cage or even as a battering ram.

I think I would probably try to get my hands on a Defender 90. Lots of space in the back, and very capable off road.

Good idea with the wind up radio.

I decided against a car for the following reasons:

I can't drive (yet)
Living in a suburban area means that all the roads will be blocked quickly, meaning the only way out would be to filter like Chuck Norris.

A pub, a winchester over the bar, and a breville round the back.

Unplug the jukebox for Health and Safety reasons.

My KTM would certainly be my initial travelling companion.
Big luggage capacity, yet relatively light and manoeuvrable for getting to the middle of nowhere. Big tank capacity and possibility to carry a lot more.

Head up to Scotland, or Wales somewhere.

However saying that, on the car thing - my latest car would actually be not with a big carrying capacity and the capability to put a bike on the back too (or a road one inside) as well as being more capable off-road than most cars out there.
So, if I had the time, car loaded with 'stuff'; 690 on the back I reckon, then consider the c90 inside or strapped on the roof (so that I can get around my mountain area on very little fuel if needed).

Always been a fan of post-apocolyptic films etc, but sadly of course the reality is going to be even less glamorous.

Will any bike riding zombies still have to wear helmets??
I'd just give in and become a zombie, can't really see a downside to it. Set up the Yorkshire Zombies chapter and go on zombie trackdays, no ambulances needed, scrutineering would just be a limb count, always go for the little gap up the inside cos it wouldn't matter. Bring it on.

strange howi have given this thought in the past... anyway i cant wait, will be a real test!

1. first thing first, arm yourself. everyone knows someone with guns, go and get them. close friends are weapons but be careful to not recruit to many as they will drain supplies 1 or 2 will suffice.

2. water, firearms first as you can take water from others without much agro if your tooled up same for food. find and secure water sources.

3.food, tinned preferebly, high calorific and fat value if possible.

4. stronghold, the biggest oldest highest house you can find. break in and secure with baracades of any kind.

5. transport, that right 5. if you can outlast something with enough supplies then travel is pointless, however it would be nessasary as a mean of escape or to find even more supplies or fit women with which to begin repopulating the earth. no minger allowed, it is for the greater good. survival of the fittest n all that.

6. enjoy life while you have it, plenty fo pilaging even gaining support of other small groups for when the apocolypse is over and you can then begin a rise to power.

always be the alpha male or your shit will be taken!

i cannot fucking wait for it to happen, am i sadistic?

yes, being an overt aplha would be dangerous i agree, at least the leader of your group then, a passive leader perhaps better.

oh and i would take my air rifles as well, i know there pretty useless against people but great for killing rabbits, pigeons, magpie and a whole manner of small animals for protein.

HAHA I give it thought all the time and the answer is hell yes! Iv got 2 cans of fuel in my shed 5L's each and I try to keep my bike topped up with fuel anyway.

So my full tank + the two cans of fuel give me a tank range of about 380miles. I'v got all my camping gear stored in the same place. The XR can go places no road going bike can so Id be heading away from everyone and hopefully ending up in a the middle of no where building myself a big tree house.

I know what ever I do I will do my best to hide it from zombies and humans alike.

I would try stockpile

* Fuel
* Tinned food
* Water
* Meds
* Batteries
* Bladed weapons
* Anything wind up ( touches, radios and phone chargers)

I could go on :-p

Zombies would probably outrun my bike so no.

I would get hold of a car, if my family are dead, I would take my dads, go to a local uni where they have a few nice armoured vehicles that would be PERFECT for a zombie apocalypse.

Just like that but with tinted bulletproof windows.

Then pop round Chris's to see how the turbo is going and get him to make some shotguns (the farm )

Then get out of town to some place warm, isolated, preferably by water with good visibility 360 degrees. Hopefully pick up about 3-4 like minded people on the way who were willing to help set up a small farm and develop weapons and go on mission to the land of the infected to collect any more supplied we might need.

I haven't really thought about this much.

How could they outrun your bike?
They walk weird.

You could run circles round them (although prolly best just putting as large a distance as possible between yourself and any shambling zombie hordes)
