I think it's still at the prison. Though I can't remember seeing it again since Daryl took Maggie shopping for baby food. When they went to Woodbury they went in a car, so logic dictates I still at the prison. Maybe they'll come back for it, but somehow I don't think so.

 

As much as the bike is bad ass, it makes no sense for anyone to use it. I'd personally prefer to see everyone driving Priuses than to think they're dumb enough to have the loudest vehicle on the planet inviting walkers wherever they may be. Oh and I'm sure the bike is still at the prison.

 

I've actually always wondered the same thing. While it's cool and all, it is loud and offers zero protection...the only advantage is to escape through congested road ways easier

 

The bike is still at the prison so he'll have to get back, lol. Unless it has no gasoline. :Grin:

 

Daryl left the group, and I could care less for the one armed bandit, so I would drain the tank and push it out the gate of the prison. They can run up, hop on, and not start it. Buffet is served!

 

Daryl's bike is actually a pretty good mode of transport for the ZA. It gets close to 60 MPG hwy and over 40 hwy. Much better gas efficiency than the truck he was driving the bike around in.

 

And so great to drive in inclement weather.

 

The problem is the inability to carry a sufficient amount of supplies to survive. It is a decent attack platform, or mode of transportation to a fight, but not a good survival vehicle.

 

Well, sure, you may get wet if it rains, but you trade off that for better maneuverability in burned out car littered roads, groups of walkers, debris, etc., plus the better gas consumption. Everything has its advantages and disadvantages in that universe. Ideally, a nice big SUV that seats 9 would be wonderful (keep most of the group in one vehicle) but you get dismal mpg with something like that, and gas is going to be hard to come by. Quite honestly, I dont understand why they're driving around those old trucks - they could break down at any minute, and when the hell were they tuned up/oil changed last? I doubt pep boys is still offering their fine drive up service in the ZA. I would have immediately found a newer vehicle (hell, hit a car dealership, there have got to be thousands of brand new cars just sitting in lots!) so at least you wont have your alternator or transmission die in the middle of escaping the throngs of the dead...

 

Yep. cracked me up they were going around in a caravan of junk. Why not a big 4x4 Suburban to carry the crew and one pickup full of bicycles in case the suburban and truck both break down somehow? Or just the suburban and put bikes on top?

 

Good mileage but you can also easily fall off or get knocked off, it offers no real protection. Speed, yes, noisy yes (to draw away walkers if required). But what the hell, Daryl is the kind of guy who's as tough as nails and doesn't change his personality just because of some stoopid walkers. So the bike works for me. It's an 'in your face zombies' attitude, which i like.

 

Dissing the walkers!

 

I watched a comic con interview with Daryl and someone asked this question and he said "It's because Daryl don't give a ****"

Loved that answer.

 

I saw that too. That about sums it up.

 

I always thought it was kinda silly to have a completely silent crossbow, and still ride around on a big, loud motorcycle that probably attracts walkers like crazy. But in the middle of a Zombie Apocalypse, your choices of transportation become limited, I suppose. And the bike, (minus Merle's Nazi symbols) is EPIC and perfect for Daryl's character.

That is all. -ZN98

 

I don't think the crossbows the kind of weapon you use whilst on a motorbike

 

I think the bikes good for maneuvering around obstacles but I'd go for an armored truck like a Brinks. Walkers can't get in, they have the mass to push cars and other obstacles out of the way and for flattening walkers plus they can carry a big pile of supplies.
