Anything with an engine is a really bad idea.
- It needs fuel. You're going to have to stop off at gas stations, and get out of the car to refuel.
- More importantly, cars/motorbikes make a lot of noise. You're just drawing attention to yourself.
- Cars break down. Unless you're a mechanic, you're screwed.[/list:u]
What you need is just a normal bike. Silent, easy to fix, easy to store.
Essential kit:- Bicycle repair kits, inner tubes, an extra chain. All easily carried in a backpack.
- Standard survival stuff - assault knife, matches, first aid kit, jet boil, zinc oxide tape, cooking pot, cup, some rope, etc.
- Clothing for a variety of weather conditions.
- Bedroll.
- can opener.[/list:u]
This is assuming the following situation:- There has been a full-blown Zompocalypse.
- Civilisation is non-existent. There is no government. No army. No police. No-one to save you. There may be other survivors, but for now, looks like it's just you.
- Thus, you are alone. So very, very alone.[/list:u]
If you've got somewhere secure to hole up, great. But you can't stay anywhere forever. Unless you're in a supermarket.
Once your food stores begin to run low, you need to take your bike out during the day and raid stores and houses. All fresh food will rot away before long, hence your handy can opener. Stuff in tins stays edible for millennia. The bike ensures your trip is swift, and gives you a severe advantage over any roamers.
Weapons-wise, as a Brit, I'm not in the greatest situation. Although honestly, you want to avoid firearms for the same reasons you want to avoid a car. Loud, finite ammo, etc. What you want is a long blade. The obvious choice is a katana. Then you could make like Michonne ( http://www.comicvine.com/michonne/29-46819 ) from the Walking Dead. Good times.
Then what you need to do is hope that the zombies are like traditional zombies, and not at all like the infected from 28 Days Later. Because the latter are much more terrifying.
