[IRA_LCPL]

Just to let everyone know most of my American family is in one Bike club or another and they DO watch each others backs there are lawyers and doctors and everything in modern bike clubs that take care of there bros for FREE. And the Hells Angels and the Banditos hold MASSIVE motorcycle runs evry year to raise money for one childrens charity or another they even compete to see who can raise the most. So people really dont know what they are talking about anymore in the 60ies and 70ies yeah this was all true nowadays they truly are standup folk that you would want watching your back. plus comone travling the country on a bike looting and all that it would be like the wild west

Last summer they had a violent feud not far from here with their rivals the Banditos. Some dramatic stuff took place including a few stabbings. God only knows what the hell they were fighting about, probably who had the biggest cock.

Certainly, there are a lot of folks that consider themselves "bikers" these days - and the prices of a nice new Harley Davidson or those super cool Buells are so high that it does not surprise me to find out that the dudes driving them are doctors and lawyers. (Who else but lawyers and doctors with the exception of maybe a coke dealer can afford those prices?) Again, it was wrong of me to lump all Bikers in the same group. As with any other demographic, you are going to have a really bad contingent and a really nice one. But on sheer principle, I don't think I want to be part of a group that is going to perform "raids" on other survivors.

[Philly_SWAT]

would you join a group of raiders such as the one featured in dawn '78?? I dont think that in a zombie outbreak, that there would actually be a group of raiders such as the one featured in Dawn. The biker gang was more of a story device designed to ruin the sanctuary of the mall, get Stephen hurt (and killed) and force Fran and Peter to make a choice to either kill themselves or try to run in the chopper. I dont think Romero put much thought into the "logic" of the bikers behavior. I think that in real life, most biker "gangs" would in fact watch each others back, and act like a family. That statement is based on both an overall sense of what I know about bikers in general, and what I know personally about bikers that I know. I think that any group of people that went out "raiding" would have a much better plan and take more care than those bikers in the movie...their behavior was very unbelievable. I would not be a fan of raiding others survivor groups, but raiding empty buildings would be an essential activity of survival.

I COMPLETELY agree on the fact of preying on other survivors is Effed up to the extreme and would not even condone the idea even though its a completely fictitious situation. But roaming around on a Harley in a post apocalyptic world would be EFFING AWESOME!!

[Mike70]

But roaming around on a Harley in a post apocalyptic world would be EFFING AWESOME!! yes it would be awesome. especially if said harley came with twin mini-guns attached to the front and a side car mounted 20mm cannon. now that would be traveling in style. note: my scumbag comments only apply to the bikers in dawn. NOT bikers in general. i know you didn't take it that way IRA but i want to be crystal clear.

[IRA_LCPL]

good to go man I understood that

[bassman]

yes it would be awesome. especially if said harley came with twin mini-guns attached to the front and a side car mounted 20mm cannon. now that would be traveling in style. With this guy, you mean?

[Mike70]

With this guy, you mean? jesus is that from the machete pseudo-trailer? sort of like that but where is my cannon? i need my sidecar mounted super ventilator- oh and a midget sidekick to fire it- complete with a leather flying cap and goggles, sort of like a cross between rocky squirrel and tatu.

[MissJacksonCA]

Prolly not considering that's a group of people you can't expect to trust and their obvious stupidity got several of them killed in a most preventable way. That new movie what's it called? Doomsday? Yeah you really wanna align yourself with that group? Because that's what it'll come to when the raiders have nothing left to raid.
