Kidofspeed my rides through chernobyl area.
 

Came across this web site. Its all about a woman with a Kwak ZZR1100 who has access to the chernobyl area and ghost town. Very interesting.

Wow .... quote from her tales ...

So one roentgen is 100,000 times the average radiation of a typical city. A dose of 500 roentgens within 5 hours is fatal to humans. Interestingly, it takes about 2 1/2 times that dosage to kill a chicken and over 100 times that to kill a cockroach. This sort of radiation level can not be found in Chernobyl now. In the first days after explosion, some places around the reactor were emitting 3,000-30,000 roentgens per hour. The firemen who were sent to put out the reactor fire were fried on the spot by gamma radiation.

Radiation went in soil and now in apples and mushrooms. It is not retained by asphalt, which makes rides through this area possible.

:o

I cant get my head around it. Some thing quite chilling though.

This has made "the rounds" a few times on various bulletin boards. IIRC it was exposed as a hoax.

As a hoax???

Looking at some of the pic's she has of her bike and devestation in the back ground look genuine. The photos look real enough to me .... not sure if she rides through it all or not.

One thing is for sure, the photos and comments are chilling.

The photos do look genuine but found this

I feel done.

Fake or no fake ... still some chilling pic's and comments.

I don't think it matters if those photos were staged or not.
Does it matter if she was there on her motorbike?
She was there...she took photos and it brought attention to something in our history that should never happen again...

May we learn from it...I Doubt We Will :(

Not when the UK is looking in to nuclear power stations again.

Kinda makes you think, what's all the fuss about advertising on the board

We are all so selfish in our own rite:(

I've seen this a couple of times, this is the first I've heard of it being a hoax, but whatever - the photos and the truth of what happened in Chernobyl don't lie.

The question will we ever learn is an interesting one - I don't see anything inherently unsafe about nuclear power, but mixed with gross negligence/incompetance, it's a lethal mix. The Soviet regime at it's worst. The dis-information is stunning, the effects will last for centuries. This isn't such a bad place to live!

Must say i agree you urban996 there right on the mark.

Maybe it matters, maybe not. However, you have to ask what kind of person goes to all the trouble of creating such a elaborate hoax.

Did anyone watch the recent documentary on the BBC about Chernobyl disaster. I found it far more attention bringing.

wasnt this one

Its fairly widely accepted that this isnt all it seems. She did visit the area but she was one one of the guided tours and she didn't go anywhere without an official. All she photo'd was what was on the tour.
She hasn't got a special pass and her father doesn't work there.
All the same, trhe pics are excellent.

Hunt around though, there are lots more sites with phots of urban dereliction etc.

This will clear up a few things. The offical tour of chernobyl.
