post-apocalyptic cg250 - the budget road warrior?

Zapkin · 04-22-2023, 07:36 PM

Someone should take a bike like this and turn it into the most affordable post-apocalyptic mode of transportation. Repaint it olive drab? Use surplus ammo boxes for saddlebags and other accessories. Maybe add some camo vinyl and a camo cargo net or something. Someone with a creative mind and some ingenuity could make something pretty cool-looking for cheap, I think.

Which one would you choose? I had an AI image generator make these.

Post-apocalypse, you won't have gas or electricity, in the worst-case scenario. Depending on the cause of TEOTWAWKI*, an EMP might fry all electronics. We're then back to bicycles, feet, and horse-drawn carriages. Training my cats now to pull one.** To paraphrase John Wick, "I need cats. Lots of cats."

The black one is a highly modified 1964 Dunelt Sport, aka, The Tetanus Express. The green one is a 1968 Raleigh Superbe. There's about another 20 sharing garage space.

The 68 Superbe would be my first choice for a bug out bike.

What you have there is lots of good barter material. Bullets, beans, beer and bikes will all be valuable commodities. Also bandaids, bullion, and bratwurst.

That looks lot like a camouflaged new model Husqvarna at the test track, like Audi does when they roll out a test vehicle with panels covering the new styling!

Either that or someone took a can of olive green spray paint to PeeWee Herman's bright shiney custom moto!

I prompted the AI to create an apocalyptic dirt bike with Chinariders painted on it. I also said it should have survival stuff. It created several strange ones. It is fair to say that my friends and family are sick of my creations. I guess they should be thankful I was not a real artist.
