Imagine a one hour "rendezvous" style video.

I would buy it.

Would do the ride with her one time just for the experience. Have a good friend who was in the area when the reactor blew.

Wasn't her trip exposed as a fraud?

I think she later admitted that it was and that she was just trying to draw attention to the people affected by Chernobyl.

I belive it is real. Just heard an interview with an author on Public Radio last week who visited Chernobyl before writing his last book. He described exactly what she shows in the photos.

Perhaps, but some of these look like a second person was taking the picture:

I was in Europe when the thing blew... after the Finns found radioactive reindeer and they traced the wind patterns and how it carried the atomic dust, it turned out I was outside pretty much all day when that stuff was overhead. Later they made us drink some nasty pink/clear liquid as a preventive measure. I'm not sure what the impact may be but I sure hope my kids don't have two heads....

Solo ride, but in the text she does refer to a security guard on site, a girl living in Chernobyl, scientists and people still living in places.

I did some research.

Apparently, she was not alone, you cannot get in the the Chernobyl area without a goverment "guide".

She was not on a motorcycle but was in a car with her boyfriend and the "guide"

The pictures and the stories about people still living in the area are true, it is pretty much the "motorcycle" story that was made up.

Why she would make up a story does escape me. I think it would have been just as interesting if the truth of the journey was told.
