macdobhranDefinitely the best choice for fleeing an infested area. The motorcycle--specifically the dirt bike--can reach places inaccessible to four-wheeled vehicles. Their speed and maneuverability allow them to be ridden right through a crowd of zombies. Their light weight allows them to be pushed for miles. Of course, there are drawbacks.
Motorcycles have small gas tanks and offer no protection whatsoever. The statistics show, however, that these are small disadvantages. When compared to other motorists attempting to escape a zombie outbreak, dirt-bike riders have a 23-to-1 survival rate. Sadly, 31 percent of motorcycle fatalities come from ordinary accidents. Reckless and/or arrogant riders could find themselves killed just as easily by a crash as by the jaws of the walking dead.
