True, Kt.

And the most horrifying thing is that the people didn't know that the xrays went through them from that far away. No, xrays can't go around bends, but they can deflect from any point to any point, regardless of shape or structure - unless it's thick lead that's completely sealed.

Scary...

Hate to break it but much of the story is false. In fact it was altered as late as this week to replace some obvious misinformation. just google for "chernobyl motorcycle fake" and choose an article. Still entertaining, and excellent (real) pictures, but don't take her words as fact.

I was wondering why she had a helmet bag. Put the helmet on the handlebar, who's gonna steal it?

You wonder why she had to fake it, just looking at those eerie pics (real) would have made a fascinating story. I feel like I've been had.

Well, despite some of the sites saying she changed it, it still say's her ride through chernobyl, like she's taking the bike through.

The bike does appear in some of the pics, but obviously she has someone with her in some of them too. Still very scary pictures.

The bike doesn't appear in any pics once in the *forbidden zone*.... she went there once on the guided tour & the rest of the story is BS.

Just wanted to bump this thread.
Looks like she made some more additions to her website since '04'.

So - in the beginning God said:

"Let there be light!"

And then amended it by saying:

"Damp down the gamma rays please, thank you..."

I'm going to leave that wide open. But when you begin speculating on why the sun itself does not hurt us I may chime in. The sun is a star - and stars are nuclear reactions.

TMI happened, and gas is outrageously expensive now.
