I've actually thought about investing in a pack saddle, panniers, and rifle scabbards as part of our "prepping"  =|

Otherwise, we just do day rides since we have a big ranch next door.

Why do you need to go anywhere?  You are already where survivors are going to try to go.  Sparsley populated area, to get away from the hordes...

Well, there could be no gasoline available.

And our place isn't paid off yet ... :(
Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

But when your mortgage lender is zombified, it won't make any difference.  :laugh:

For the $80K, I'd much rather have a turbo diesel motorcycle and leave the human chum to use pedal power, the ones in development now have 100hp and get 100+ miles/gal.

I keep looking at it and thinking $8k would be a more reasonable price, for $80k you can get a full up electric car or motorcycle.

I've seen electric bikes being sold for under $4k.

$4K is more in line with what I was thinking this one would be worth. I can't figure it at $8K let alone $80K. Unless the leather battery cover is made from some extinct animal or something. :)
