If you're on the 101 in California be VERY VERY careful while traveling through a town outside Salinas called Prunedale. There are TONS of accidents there, it's very dangerous if you're in a cage, even more so if you're on a bike. Ride safe.

Well if the worst road = the most dangerous, I would say that the one the russian biker Elena's has made through Chernobyl must be the one.

That was a very interesting site to read.

Especially on weekends when that big red barn of a flea market is happening. Nothing brings danger quicker than a bargain hunting myopic old woman in a cadillac about to turn left across every lane of 101 cuz she thought she saw a flash of red


Many roads in Compton after dark arent any safer than that Chernobyl road for a variety of reasons. Even radioactivity wouldnt be completely out of the question.

The AlCan highway in early January wouldnt be too safe on a bike.

I had read this a few years ago and it is amazing that she is going there. To see the pictures its hard to imagine being there.

Not that this isn't cool, or that I even know what is true or false, but check the facts for yourself - go to Google or search engine of your choice. Put in Elena, Chernobyl, and hoax. There are many people who seem to think this was a fantasy story made up of photos from of an authorized tour without a motorcycle. From what I hear motorcycle, nor non-escourted people can even get into this zone. Also her name is reported by many sites to not even be Elena.

Amazing pictures though and a great story if it can be validated. If it can't be validated, it is another great urban legend.

Though I love to encourage my favorite cagers to go that route!

Wow I know right where that is, I have family out there. Darn right it is suicide corner. It's like a 80 degree increasing to like a 130. Not good totally blind. Scarry.

anywhere in asia...hong kong. thailand, vietnam, laos, singapore, malaysia, tokyo

Ortega highway from OC to Riverside. Too many people feeling "indestructable" on that road. My last trip on it, I saw a guy turn around to kiss his gal on the back of his bike just after coming out of a corner at about 30-35. I'm sure he wasn't too concerned about the 1000' drop off if he'd a gone across the highway. And that's NORMAL stuff on that road!

Ride on pretty much any highway or major road anywhere near Detroit...It will give you a new appreciation for the term 'dangerous'. Poorly maintained, complete with giant tire swallowing potholes, expansion cracks that have definitly 'expanded', and a lovely assortment of: retread 'speed bumps', roadkill, and the usual urban hellhole road hazards.
