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

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.

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.

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?

[jdubbs32584]

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



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
