Remember that really cool "Chernobyl-on-a-motorcycle" story we linked up awhile back? Well, turns out it was a damned dirty hoax:

I am sorry to report that much of Elena's story is not true. She did not travel around the zone by herself on a motorcycle. Motorcycles are banned in the zone, as is wandering around alone, without an escort from the zone administration. She made one trip there with her husband and a friend. They traveled in a Chornobyl car that picked them up in Kyiv.

The pictures are of Chernobyl, which means they're still extra-freaky weird, but any visions of a lone chick on a bike in a big empty silence are just that, visions.
