Maby they did sneak in, but fool me once: http://www.kiddofspeed.com/chapter1.html http://www.kiddofspeed.com/chapter1.html The last time someone posted pictures claiming they rode their motorcycle through the forbidden zone it caused a stir because that is expressly forbidden because of the risk of picking up contaminated dust. Enclosed tour vehicles only for this reason. Then apparently, in the case of kiddofspeed, we find out she rode her motorcycle to the standard meeting place and took the standard tour. While carrying her helmet along with her for effect.

Moxie isn't known for bullshiting about stuff like that he's done a fair few things "normal" people would think fairly crazy.

  and yet whole article is full of nonsense(death toll, explosion etc).

  Mmm, that isn't strictly true. From what I've read his anarchist-leaning sailing documentary "Hold Fast" is... controversial, in sailing circles.

    I enjoyed watching his documentary, but I'm not part of sailing circles. In what way is it considered controversial?

      Disclaimer: I also am not in sailing circles and also have not seen the documentary in question - I'm basing this impression entirely on the hearsay of an extensive Reddit thread (that I cannot alas find again) full of sailors who had no idea about Moxie's other life. The objections I remember were: -incompetent sailing -criminal behaviour (or more likely faked criminal behaviour) including theft -making a big show about being poor and bohemian when in fact they had loads of cash (some of which was spent on the boat offscreen, rather subverting the message) This is exactly the same kind of pseudo-rebellious sketchiness as pretending to ride your motorcycle illegally through Chernobyl, when in fact you took the official tour. (I have just queried a sailing IRC channel and got a similar response, so I don't think I'm misremembering.)

Funny story - dosimeters don't tick. Geiger counters tick.
