Can you find him for me?  I bet he has a PhD  He is sooooooo cool!

oh oh... you are gonna piss off the overlords!

Why?  They like to ride and shoot guns and tape it?

This reminds me of that event at the Olympics (which I don't think I've seen on TV since the '84 olympics) where you had hunter (the horse not people) and they were doing all kinds of jumps and stuff, then the rider got off and had to shoot at some targets, then get back on the horse.

Think of that... but now on a motorcycle.

And finally... the butt of that bike MUST have been reinforced. What I want to know is after he showed off his mad shooting skills, how did he get the bike back on its wheels again in the seating position he's in?

I was thinking about going to superbike school this summer or at least advanced street training but I don't think they teach this there. 

most likely a 12 bar.

accelerate a tad and tap the back brake.

^^  thank you.  I just learned something.

OMG I can't believe he's not wearing proper riding boots! 

no class at all.  his bandana doesn't even match his bike

but what if he has to reload?

this would so not work against zombies

that's so lame...  i mean, if he was firing while still riding the wheelie, then maybe...

he has another gun of course!

duh!!

i'll do you one better: rolling endo to gunfire while spinning.

Here we go.  [popcorn]

Yeah seriously, without dual-wielding pistols are pretty much useless against zombies.

what's the category, "Dudes that ride girls bikes" ? 

 ;D

Clearly he's one of the characters that dies off early in the movie just as the zombies start to take control. 

[laugh]

Yeah..the 620D..

total girl's bike!!

Uhhhh, don't you have a silver DARK?

zing!!!!!!  [laugh]

He's no Chuck Norris, that's for sure. 

I've seen Ted do that too,  only he used a bow and was eating deer jerky at the same time

Ted Nuget?

you were think'n Bundy?


 [laugh]

Who's Ted Nuget?

Where you referring to 'The Nuge'?  aka Ted Nugent?

aka Ted the GAWD!!!

I think I saw the guy with the gun and the stand up bike practicing down at a trailer park.

I think he lives in the one that doesn't have any windows and says Scotty on the side.

I'm pretty sure he IS single.

He lives in the trailer that says Scotty , with 5 dogs.

Pitbulls?

Woops, looks like I forgot the 'n'...

 [popcorn]

Tracked him down for you.  You can thank me later.

Pick up the phone, He's always home...
Call him anytime.  Just ring  362-4364

I can see him trying this in Chicago.... and getting ran over by a cab  [thumbsup]

So does that put Cruise in the category of "girls who ride dudes bikes and shoot guns" ?

no, Ted Nugget, the famous chicken innovator.

^^ poor bike!

I don't get it. He goes through a of bunch extra movements, by the time he got his little .25 out, someone with a shotgun would've made his life better.

I'm a glass-is-half-full kinda guy, so a short list of things I would like to think he is shooting at:

- another dude resting on his wheely bar, shooting back (eventually a net loss of one stunter-marksman)
- terrorists or hippies
- someone using the word "amazing" to describe something that is not amazing

you're OK with me, bud!   [thumbsup]

what's with the hippie hating?

What's wrong with Hippies ?

They were just miss guided folks from the '60s who thought the answer to life's problems was smoke some Pot or drpo some LSD.

They now run Corporations and live in California...well most of them .

There are a lot of old Hippies living around Athens, Ohio ( the Haight-Ashbury of the East ) Ohio University.

Been there ..done that.                                               Dolph

 [laugh]

there are the "we love everyone and we happen to wear tie-dyes and believe in free love" hippies and there are the "make the beast with two backs you and i wear tie dyes and don't bathe and where's the free food" hippies.  the former are great at parties.  the latter look identical but will just steal all your food and leave. 

the people you describe aren't hippies, they didn't "drop out" because they are running big corporations now.  the latter are real hippies.. people who tuned in, turned on and dropped out and don't give a shit about anything.

who duel weilds pistols when chainsaw does it so much better  [popcorn]

only if it is attached in place of your hand

I wasn't hatin' on hippies by the way - I love all of god's creatures  [beer].  Hippies are just fun to antagonize  ;D  I almost said Canadians instead of hippies if that makes a difference...

Now what's with the Canadian hating?!

^^^^
Awesome :)

Since we're talking about it, I grew up in a household where the hippy was the standard-bearer for social activism.  Now that I am older and beyond my college years, I see that taking drugs and listening to experimental music as a way to piss off people you think were controlling everything was not the cultural revolution they thought it was.  If you think about it, hippies were only doing what jazz musicians had been doing for years - you could make the case that this was yet another instance of cultural gentrification.  They were no better than Elvis. 
I bet it was fun, though.  Naked, blotto, and hopelessly idealistic sounds like a nice way to spend a decade.

Yeah, but with chainsaws, you get zombie goo all over you when they 'splode.  'Sploding zombie goo doesn't smell very nice - kinda like hitting a buzzard on your bike.  Pistols are much more sanitary. 


Edited for spelling.  I should not post after drinking a glass of port.

more sanitary maybe, but to actually hit them in the head to dstroy the brain is difficult for all but the best trained. plus you have all the noise a pistol makes, plus the reloading time. some other things to think about regarding gun use on zombies...how much does all that ammo weigh? what if you run out of ammo, where do you get more?

now, avoidance is obviously the best policy here, but if you are faced with a few then i don't believe a handgun is the best option unless you want to get out before they get you.

i feel that a bladed weapon is better. yes, it requires closer range, but it is much more reliable. it's easier to replace, sharpen, and carry, works when coated in zombie goo, and doesn't have to be reloaded at crunch time.
plus you can do your cavalry charge and get the zombies on the move instead of having to balance your bike.

But what if it's a mob of zombies? Maybe a combat shotgun? Or do flamethrowers work?

You people, I swear. Zombie killing in a post apocalyptic world is just taken so lightly around here. It is not a matter of finesse, you are not lane splitting through zombies casually lopping off heads from a motorcycle. Indeed, a bike, while ideal for running from the hordes, is totally insufficient for battle. There is not enough range/tire life to adequately escape through huge tracts of land.

The ideal is a military truck with a massive grill guard and a 50 caliber in the back. Thus one is able to mow down the zombies both with the machine gun, and crush out their brains with huge clod-hopping tires. This also gives additional space for supplies, and for rescuing hot damsels in distress. I mean-what if you meet twins while escaping on a bike? Leave one behind? Oh. Hell. No.


Flamethrowers? Now they light everything on fire before they expire, both destroying hiding areas and attracting other zombies. Sheesh-what do they teach in school these days?



I worry about you people so much.

Sounds like a well equipped duece-and-a-half with some serious engine mods for quicker acceleration is in order.

JM

Don't forget the set of hot twins.

1) They remind you what you are fighting for with constant vigilance.

2) You can repopulate twice as fast

3) Jesus man-twins.

I'm so ashamed  :'(

now i never said a motorcycle was the best tool for the job, jsut that if you were going to weild a weapon from one...

the main problem with any internal combustion engine is that it makes noise and will eventually destroy itself. that armored truck and 50 cal will only do so much for you when you run out of gas. then if you have attracted zombies the moans will only bring mroe and before you know it you are completely make the beast with two backsed. and not by the twins.

speaking of the twins, are they at least mildly atractive?

I love this forum.

Where else can I go to get talk about motorcycles, cars, booze, and the best way to survive zombie hordes?

You gotta think though that many crushed zombies will eventually gum up the systems on a light armored truck
heads in the suspension and a very large possibility of a bent steering link and not to mention the increased possibility of being overrun given entrapment by a large horde
(http://www.defenseindustrydaily.com/images/LAND_Dingo-2_lg.jpg)


so I propose the Stryker LAV as the ultimate Zombie S.E.R.E. conveyance
The sloped nose direct the zombies to the ground where you do not run the risk of damaged steering and suspension components even under hard use of driving over zombies, its an amphib so a water escape increases your potential foraging range, and you can button up inside if it all goes to shit.

However, if you want the ultimate zombie grinder for designated runs to your local PX for Beer, Bullets, and Band-aids

and i'm sure finding enough fuel to run them for a long enough period of time will be easy... [roll]


stay light, stay mobile, and stay quiet.
move on foot or bicycle.

hole up somewhere that has stairs that you can take out so nothing can get up to you.

What's gonna get in that LAV? Plus I think they have in excess of 100 gallons of diesel onboard...

Yep

you can make em run on biodiesel

which you can make

but you would have to protect the fields...

You can survive

or

You can take the fight to the enemy

I think with zombies a doolittle aproach would be required in order to save your sanity

and that will run out eventually.

it will run out faster if you are on the gas pedal trying to get traction on slimy zombie guts.
that vehicle isn't the most fuel efficient i'm sure.


you would have to be very careful in your approach to taking otu the zombies. i would thank that guerrilla warfare would be best agaisnt them. small attacks to whittle them down so as to not get overwhelmed. that would take a VERY long time to get rid of all the zombies given their rate of reproduction. now there would be a point when there simply aren't any more humans to infect so the rate would slow and eventually stop. however, that is a shit-ton of zombies. to get rid of them we are talking a scorched earth attack. plus, assuming you and the twins arent' the only survivors, getting in touch with others to coordinate a large scale attack will be dam near impossible. the zombies won't die, just rot away.until the brain is totally decomposed they will still be a danger. that could take longer than you can keep on the run.

i still prefer to stay light and mobile with an out of the way easily protected base of operations.

Yea, that's better .       :)
