Chernobyl, the aftermath

This is old so you may have all seen it before, but I thought I'd post it anyway:

Very neat read on a woman who is ballsy enough to ride through the ruins surrounding Chernobyl, and some great pictures to boot.

Thanks for posting that. Those pictures are cool, but creepy.

They do tell a neat story, but "the motorcycle trip" is a hoax. She took a tour bus with a guide like everyone else, and used her helmet as a prop. Story was widely circulated on various motorcycle forums a couple of years ago. Especially the ZX11 forum I belong to. She was a member at the time.

Several of her shots include a motorcycle that matches her description of a larger displacement ninja, this would seem to support her story.

Those are not in restricted areas and been posted on the net befire the alleged trip. No one is allowed in those areas without a guide.

Well have it your way. Me, I prefer to believe this chick is nuts enough to do it on a motorcycle, not some stupid tour bus.

Good reading! Btw, some of those locations on the pics have eery resemblance to COD4 scenes. Coincidence? I think not.

It's an old story and also a hoax.

See attached link or google it for lots of discussion.

Even if it's a hoax, the photos are amazing.

Shame on me then. I had snopes'd it back in the day, and still don't see it there.

Either way, those pics of entire cities abandoned are creepy as hell, regardless if she was on a ninja or on a guided tour.
