End Of Days - Zombie Apocalypse!

[eeksnake]

The end is near! I'm in! (and this time I'll come with fresh tires...)

What!? You're actually gonna ride in this one? The end MUST be near! :lol:

Current breakdown of entrants:

Zombie Rider #1: RenoJohn :lol:

No doubt a red-line clutch-drop will happen as

"End Of Days - Zombie Apocalypse Rider #1"

Points his bike out of Ely toward the end of the world.

This event is not to be missed, and I'm honored to have (again) earned the #1 rider number. This is my 3rd consecutive Cognescente event as rider #1. If you think i'm boasting, you're correct.

.....Nice knowing all of ya ...the end is coming soon, our remaining days are limited. See you in Ely.

<trash-talk on>

It's true, I'll be there with the fast-color FJR (unless I have something else by then) so you'd better not be riding that POS American-made crap-o-iron if you expect to stay ahead of me and the zombies!

This does sound like a fun one. Wish I could get in on it...perhaps next year.

Cognoscente events are every-other year so you'd be looking at 2014 (if we survive the Apocalypse).

This does sound like a fun one. Wish I could get in on it...perhaps next year.

Sadly, there won't be one the following year, for two reasons:

1) The Cognoscente Group runs on even years..... '06 White Pine Fiver, '08 "WORD!", '10 "Wild, Wild West!", '12 EODZA....

2) The Cognoscente never repeats the theme of an event. Each one is different theme. Always.

So if you want in on some zombie-killin'..... now is the time to strike.

A database check right now shows we are down to 10 open slots remaining. Tick-tock, tick-tock.......

Has anyone talked to custom sheath makers??

-I'll be looking for a sheath to mount my weapon to my FJR --and certainly I'm not alone on this thought. Who will be taking the lead and putting together a group buy for our sheaths??

cheers,

I was thinking of a setup like this.

Fork mounted, chariot style

Only head shots are effective Zombie stoppers.

My wife prefers my weapon unsheathed. YMMV.

Correct, only some major cranial trauma will stop a Walker.

For example.... a double-headed axe to the skull will ruin a Zombie's day.....

Or, perhaps a little batting practice.....

Then again... a .357 Magnum to the head is a no-brainer.... literally. :lol:

For example.... a double-headed axe to the skull will ruin a Zombie's day.....

Will those be included with our rally packs?

 

[RenoJohn]

it is obvious that a good portion of this rally will be run in the Zombie infested Battle Born State of Nevada ......

So, here are few "insider tips" that might help you prepare for the special breed of Nevada Zombies that you are likely to encounter:

1.) https://renozombiecrawl.com/

2.) How to survive a Nevda Zombie Attack (clcky)

3.)


(yes, Rally HQ is the world meca for Nevada Zombies)

Oh, that one was too good NOT to put on the EODZA website! :lol:

Thanks, Zombie Apocalypse Rider #1!!!!!

 

[LowAndSilent]

Thanks for the corrections. In that case, it makes me want to go even more. :angry:

 

[Warchild]

Down to 5 slots remaining available as of 5am this morning.

When I let fly on the LDRider list here in a couple hours, these 5 slots will likely be gone in a flash, whereupon a Wait List will start up.

...tick-tock.....

Wouldn't you rather I take the V-Twinkie since loud noises attract zombies? Proof positive that loud pipes save lives!

Only if that V-Twinkie can move with a purpose..... keep in mind the math involved.

Finisher's need 1,649 corrected miles/32 hours = 51.3 mph average.

Which sound pretty tame, but.... if you want to stop for such trivial items such as fuel, photographing bonii, etc.... then it becomes a different story.

I recommend you take your FJR.

sidebar: down to four remaining slots as of 8am .....

always fun concepts wrapped around challenging rides.

Finisher's need 1,649 corrected miles/32 hours = 51.3 mph average.

on a 1611 mile Congno ride, i can assure you that you had to target an aggressive goal to maintain at least the minimum needed for the distance plus required overhead. the 32 hours helps with this over the time i'm thinking but there's still overhead.
