| What if you have heavily fortified your position and all of a sudden a biker gang comes driving up the road to your place, would you be hospitable? would you negotiate with them? Even though you have seen all the movies where dealing with bikers and turning them away fires them up and they end up ruining your shit. You got plenty of land, plenty of food and a few empty houses they could stay in. |

I say let them in. Most bikers are not like the movies portray them. Ever since I started riding, I have been more than impressed with how friendly and helpful bikers can be. This, my experience would indicate that bikers are about as good a people as you will find. Of coarse there are groups that don't fit into this category, just as there are will all other types of people. |

First of all, most bikers are good people who only look threatening. Like the rest of us, they only tend to do stupid things when drinking or drugging heavily. Respect them and they will respect you.
Having said that. If we are talking about an teotwawki situation. It would be foolish to let any potentially overpowering force within your defences. Unfortunately, there is a fine line between friend and foe. The safety of your people comes first. If they don't like the rejection, then deal with them as you would any potentially hostile force. If it comes down to that worst case scenario, there is a bright side. You'll have a ton of Harley parts to barter with. |

Good question, if its honest to god HA MC people beware.
If it's folks that have taken to the road on bikes they picked up somewhere they'll probably be glad to find somewhere where they can stay for a while, who knows, you might like both types of bikers when the newness has worn off and they are survivors that have made it thus far to, they'll have information about places further afield than your ranch. Take a chance and give them the benefit of the doubt... Tony |

In a survival situation you have to be more cautious. Letting strangers in no matter what "click" they are a part of should be handled carefully.
Take the latest happenings with Walking Dead. Taking a biker group in that situation seems more risky than reward. Other food for thought they already know where you are and may want what you have. |

Even taking in a group of people with families and children should be evaluated carefully. In risk assessment, the biker scenario is a fail. |

I have some real good biker friends and they would have my back as I would with them. Bikers are some of the finest people you could ever meet. Although I'd be real hesitant to let just anyone in depending on how they approached me, if they were like Nebraska and Fatty from The Walking Dead and were demanding or like the gang in Dawn of the Dead where they saw the chopper on the roof and began to make demands or else. I think it would be great to have more people to patrol and would be beneficial to have more guns.

Stereo types as sad as they are come from "some" real facts. The term bikers came into fruition when you had the thug biker gang boom. When you say Biker. I dont picture.... 
I picture this....

A true 1% MC? No fucking way. They would take what and do what they wanted. I just don't think "civilians" understand...1% bikers play by apocalypse rules day in and day out. They just don't give a rats ass about anything...Except their bikes and their MC.
My ass would try to stay invisible, but I'd sure as hell be ready for Armageddon to protect my family. I wish I had some confidence in the direction of our country. Sadly, I do not. So I prepare.

| Having a big pack of bikers show up would be like having your supplies brought right to you! Each bike would probly have 2-4 gallons of gas in them and they are sure to be loaded with ammo and guns! I have nothing against bikers as i have one myself but i wouldnt trust a sole. They would be very vulnerable sitting on their bikes.... |

Any group of guys still rolling out in groups of the loudest stock vehicles on the road, let alone how most are modified, after zombies emerge is an idiot and therefore a zombie snack. No shit! It seems really stupid huh? I laugh at the walking dead when darrel is on the old triumph in front of the pack.... |
