Modern Vespa

One of the scoots that rolled through San Diego.....

with a snowplow attachment....

Maybe this might help negotiate around all the wreckage and bodies.euuuu.

Are we talking about classic slow moving zombies or modern fast-movers as seen in 28 days later?

For the former then range is an advantage, so a small 4-stroke will get you furthest on the limited fuel supply. If you need a quick get away then I'll stick with my 300 and fit knives to the wheels, chariot-style!!

That looks like it would make a great police patrol vehicle if it were affordable. Wonder what the range is?

Hmmmmmm....

Good choice, but a better will be my DR 350. The military (Norway) also use
the very same DR 350 - so i think there should be plenty of spare-parts out
there...

A solar powered URAL. We have a guy who owns one down the street from me and i like it but not the 14k price tag. Oddly enough when i went searching for a pic there is a shop called Royal Enfield in Chicago that sells Urals,Genuine,Piaggio,and vespa's Now that's a combination I forgot i had a pic of the one here

You're being ridiculous, Jess. Everybody knows Zombies only eat human brains. Horse Zombies only eat confetti. It's science!!!!

P.

Honda CT90 FTW.

Lightweight. Thing comes stock with a spare gas tank. 4-stroke. Indestructible engine. Points. Made for off-roading. Very high MPG. 55mph. 8-speed clutchless transmission(4 high gears for road, 4 low for off-road). Can ford through streams. (air intake and exhaust are high, at seat level) Lots of storage/bungee space. Has button on carb for high elevation fuel mixture. Crashbars and brush plate to protect engine. This was literally made for hunting/camping/outdoors excursions. It doesn't get any better! (except perhaps a CT110, but that has CDI)

Old-school solution for errant pedestrians. Works great on 21st century Zombies. Recommend a tall gutscreen to keep the splatter off your natties.

Also good for miniature cows and street urchins.

street urchins, scamps, blighters, guttersnipes, and minature cows.

Zombie chow.

Don't Laugh...

But my brother has a hiking backpack that contains

-2 Gas masks
-Water purification tablets
-Water purification Straws
-a Geiger counter
-Socks
-ultra this warm blanket (the shiny silver ones)
-Several Hundred rounds of ammunition for his M16, M1, Glock 9mm
-Canned food
and other crap

He built a rack on his Kawasaki Concourse for his pack and has a Pick up truck carrying the Concourse.

I laugh at him but He is convinced that a Nuke will land on our shores sometime in the immediate future.... and that he'll be the last one laughing....


Never know... I guess it doesn't hurt to be prepared for a somewhat reasonable expense.

pedal powered is the way to go...

Until food becomes a scarse resource (The Road) and you lose your energy levels.

No scooter or motorcycle would be a good long-term solution - however knowing how to ride both will be a good pre-apocalypse plan for when you have to steal or borrow one to make a getaway or a quick run somewhere. You are simply too exposed on either - all it takes is one zombie standing in your way and you're off the bike and your brain is gone.

A decent 4-wheel drive is the way to go. Not a pussy SUV, but something with high ground clearance and torque. Something made for off-road driving in severe wilderness areas, which is where you will want to be. An old FJ-40 landcruiser (6 cyl) would be my choice - they are all but indestructable, their parts are bulletproof, and no computers to go rotten on you. Steal the hard-top version.

Of course the noise from driving one of these would likely attract Zombies (World War Z) so it would only be used to get to where you need to hole up, or make a rapid escape in case your position were about to be overrun so I would ultimately defer, as mentioned previously, to a horse or mule for your food scavenging and wood scavenging forays.

Also: learn to shoot - learn to make your own reloads and be prepared to kill everyone: women, children, etc in order to survive.

I would do the horse I admit. Eats a variety of plant matter, can and will bite and run things over, automatically hauls butt when danger threatens, self-repairs, and I figure the local barn will have many horses left ownerless so I can round up a pack string for breeding more and spares. We survived for several millenia with them as our primary mode of transport. Plus they can handle some serious terrain.

And when it comes down to it, you can eat them.

But my energy levels are over 9000!!!! Until gasoline becomes a scarce resource and you lose your fuel levels. At least a motorbike will ration your fuel better than a gas-hogging humungo truck.

Where's SPOCK (MV member) when we need him He would know the answer since he's all about zombies

You didn't read the entire post.

You know, we might be too focused on zombies as the defining element of the coming apocalypse. There are, in fact, other scenarios.

Cyborg zombies?

When Skynet becomes self-aware all machines will be our enemy...

... and when the trucks turn and start hunting us only Emilio Estevez will be able to save us...

Yo, look how sharp all those dudes look. And that windscreen - Straight pimpin'!

mine works

Just remember to dbl tap and limber up. God I loved that movie.

Then there's always the Riva Militia:

I hope I won't be around by then ... but since most people seem to be terrified that nuclear war may some day be a reality, I think I would hedge my bets against a nuclear winter.

I'll have one of these thanks!

I saw this picture over on the Total Ruckus link provided above, and figure this is the best solution....

They don't mention the 250-yard turning circle, though!

This would be fine until the belt snapped....

Good luck trying to find a vehicular defense against grey goo. Nanobots will consume the planet in a matter of days.

I'm about as concerned about a zombie invasion as I am about an alien invasion.

My wife, however, will not allow a Roomba into our house because it's just encouraging "them" (i.e., robots and the people who make them). My kind of Riva:


Apocalypse Worthiness: 3 out of 10

Flash!

It will have to be a honda cub! The toughest bike ever built!

Best scooter: P125X or P200E
Simple as hell, reliable, fast enough to outrun zombies.

Best MC - probably a Honda CT125

Well, what would hold the most baseball bats?

Ha ha, thanks Jess. I didn't notice until I saw your post because I've been on my iphone lately.

Funny my evil post was in an apocalypse thread.
