Why Bugging Out on a Motercycle Will Get You Killed
Thursday, September 25, 2014 6:09
% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
The topic of bugging out is a popular one, with probably thousands of opinions on how, when, and why.
One recurring theme is bugging out on a motorcycle, which on the surface may seem like a great idea due to their maneuverability and excellent fuel economy, but it will probably get you killed.
Here are a few reasons why bugging out on a motorcycle is a bad idea.
- While a motorcycle’s fuel economy beats a car, truck, or SUV, it has only a fraction of their fuel capacity so they both have about the same range.
- Bugging out on a motorcycle means taking very little gear and supplies, and at most, one passenger.
- A motorcycle provides no protection from the elements or from attackers. If you happen to fall or crash, you face far more serious injuries than if you were in an automobile.
- Long distance travel on a motorcycle can take a toll on your body.
On the other hand, a motorcycle can be a good choice if you are bugging out alone to a known location that is already stocked with food and supplies, and is relatively nearby.
Before bugging out it’s important to carefully weigh all variables, including:
- What terrain you must cross to reach your bug out location.
- How far you must travel.
- Traffic and weather conditions.
- Threat level. (Are you bugging out to avoid a hurricane or civil unrest?)
- How many people will be traveling with you.
- What gear and supplies you’ll need to bring.
