Think you know someone crazy?

Ask them if they'll ride a motorcycle through a nuclear wasteland just for kicks. Elena lives in, or near Kiev and loves to ride her motorcycle. One of her favorite trips is through the wasteland that houses the Chernobyl nuclear facility. She has a website calledKidd of Speed, where she has posted a long, yet very interesting photolog of where she's been and what she's seen.

Being only 8 at the time, I vaguely remember these events, I remember knowing that this was very bad, and news reports, prophesizing death and disaster on a global scale (although we may still not realize these effects until decades from now). But to actually just drive through relatively unprotected and to stop and take pictures, you have to be borderline insane. It's worth checking out and its an interesting read.
