Hello Wayne - 

CA>> A young lady living in Russia has some _recent_ pix of
CA>> what she describes as a "ghost town" that was created by
CA>> the failure of the atomic power plant at Chernobyl. 

WC> This woman is crazy but I admire, respect her and wish I
WC> knew her. 

WC> 1 Her Ninja packs 27 H.P. more than my old XS-1100 Special
WC> which packed 120 H.P.!!! 

Yes. The caption on one photo mentions that her machine has
more horsepower than a dozen older Russian motorcycles in the
picture. :-) 

WC> 2 She's taking some serious rads in these trips. 

Her father is in 'the business' tracking radiation. Hopefully
she understands how to do this and keep safe. 

WC> It was all I could do to cope with a 120 H.P. bike but I'd
WC> really appreciate that 147 where she elects to ride!!! 

It was mentioned that her motorcycle is a greater threat to
_her_ safety than the residual radiation she is being exposed
to. 

CA>> I thought since the topic of atomic power resurfaces in
CA>> this echo from time to time a few readers might find these
CA>> pix of interest? 

WC> The stark reality is far more shocking from her pictures
WC> than any of the dozens of accounts I've read in books and
WC> on the internet! 

WC> Pro-nuclear advocates should all take the full tour which I
WC> took at the URL you provided. 

I was enthralled by the bleak and somewhat stark reality of a
real life cataclysmic event. The comparison to Pompeii seems
quite accurate. 

CA>> Either URL should work: 

CA>> http://www.angelfire.com/extreme4/kiddofspeed/ 

CA>> http://netfiles.uiuc.edu/benoc/mirrors/
CA>> www.angelfire.com/extreme4/kiddofspeed/ 

WC> Phreaking nightmare. The woman IS however a speed demon!
WC> 147 H.P.... sheesh! 

Yes and being female her own body weight isn't going to help
keep those wheels on the road at speed either.
