Motorbike ride through Chernobyl

The speaker we had today mentioned a site created by a woman who had less restricted access to Chernobyl than himself. Not sure this is the lady he's referring to...

Her site is pretty interesting (especially the sketchy grasp she has of exposure levels!)
but there is some controversy regarding the veracity of her claims. (You know how the internet is.) Some claim she didn't take the pics but merely scanned them from a magazine. Others claim she never rode a motorbike through the region, but rather rode in a car with her husband or visited as part of a tourist trip.

Either way these sobering and sad pictures are the aftermath of Chernobyl.
