Are you Prepared for the Zombie Apocalypse?

This guys is! (and a flood apparently)

It's a good start. I would have gone with a DR650. Also, he needs a good 7mm Rem for the long stuff, and possibly a machete for the hand to hand stuff and then he should be ready for a life long quest of searching for twinkies.

I am with you on the DR650. It is obviously the bike of choice for the zombie apocalypse. I must, however suggest that the humble crowbar is a better choice for hand to hand. Less likely to get stuck in a walker's head and useful for breaking into buildings.

I beg to differ. I don't know why people keep insisting on a machete or samurai sword or some shit. Think about it, with a disease that is transferable via bodily fluids, why in hell would you want to burst a sack of meat within arms reach of you? You're better off with a baseball bat.

And of course, ATGATT. Waterproof gear and facesheild down should keep you fairly bite and splatter proof.

Sorry, I thought we were talking about the "from the grave zombies" not the 'bio-hazard unleashed zombies". The former type of zombies can only transfer the disease by biting you, and can only be killed by a deep penetration in the brain. I agree that waterproof ATGATT is definitely the way to go.

You have to keep your eyes open for the warning signs!




Be up to date with all identification guides, and survival charts.




Then make friends with a girl who packs a lot of guns & blades, while looking hot shooting, jumping, stabbing, kicking, in all directions . . . . . and who's great in the sack when off duty. If she rides a BMW so much the better!

This thread took on a level of seriousness I would have never guessed.

I've got a K75. It will start right up in two million years when aliens discover the remnants of our civilization on this planet.

(Like the Volkswagon Beetle Woody Allen found in Sleeper.)

Zombies are no joke my friend...

And those who want huge fire power to kill the soft headed mush brains are asking for it. I want a 22, with 10,000 round so CB...almost no noise and cheap as dirt.

Knives? Only for preparing food, I don't need any zombie juice splashed on me.

I know this is a motorcycle site but they are not going to work when the zombies show up...I would have to take my truck.

Forgot the main reason I was answering this! The .410 in the backpack. Excellent choice for a second weapon. Cheap ammo, enough power to poke a hole in anything and small. I got one of them also.

It all depends on the density of the zombie horde. If they are well spaced apart, and not in a dense "Resident Evil" type mob, then just a reliable two wheeler with plenty of swing-around space would be adequate. Then you would be well served to use either Cricket Bat, or Katana (刀).



Reliable (and with good elbow room for using club or sword) and sturdy transport.




Shaun's picked the good old Cricket Bat.




While this chap has chosen to use his well-honed Katana (more commonly idenified as a Samurai Sword).

That guy is holding a long handled broad sword. A better choice than a katana, more reach. A cross bow, or compound bow would be good. Quiet, reusable ammo. There is the infection issue. If you can get infected from a bite you can get infected from other fluids splashed in the eyes or mouth. There is a guy around here with a Zombie Assault van.

Good idea. Put that on the trailer hitch mount for exploring off road. It would come in handy, for making quiet less conspicuous runs to get gas and supplies.

AND, I hope it is the walking dead type zombies...they are slow and dumb. In Dawn of the dead, they are too fast!

What he's holding is called a "naginata". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naginata
