Хотел сделать большое видео об этом, но пора признаться себе, что у меня никогда не будет на него времени (чтобы сделать качественно и интересно). Поэтому расскажу вам так. Уже второй сезон езжу вот на такой технике: трицикл Can-Am Spyder 2008 года. Решение его купить основывалось на трёх пунктах.
1. Очень давно присматривался и хотел попробовать
2. Никогда не езжу в городе и вообще не использую мотоцикл как транспорт, а только как средство для удовольствия в свободных от пробок местах
3. Катать жену более безопасным образом :)
Сразу скажу: техника ровно такая, какой выглядит — очень спорная, очень своеобразная. Центральный недостаток с точки зрения внешнего наблюдателя обычно выглядит так: от мотоцикла ты вроде бы ожидаешь возможности ездить сквозь пробки, а если уж нет, тогда логично взять автомобиль — он комфортнее, может ездить в дождь и снег, везти больше вещей. Это всё правда, я сейчас езжу на автомобиле в том числе, и могу со всей ответственностью заявить, что автомобиль комфортнее и удобнее как способ передвижения.
Дело только в том, что мотоцикл это не способ передвижения. Я писал об этом давно, ещё когда ездил на двухколёсной технике. Для перемещения своего тела из точки А в точку Б крайне непрактично использовать транспорт, который наиболее опасен именно в плотном потоке машин, требует специальной одежды и обуви, не позволяет с собой взять много вещей, одинаково плох и в дождь и в жару.
Мотоцикл это средство для катания ради кайфа. Ты выбираешь под это время и место. И вот тут трицикл показывает себя хорошо: проходимость в пробках не важна, потому что ты в любом случае не выбрал бы пробки. Вообще, по секрету вам скажу, мотоциклисты не испытывают удовольствия от необходимости протискиваться между рядами. Это довольно стрессово — тебе приходится постоянно следить, чтобы и тебя никто не прижал, и ты никому зеркало не снёс. Рука устаёт от работы сцепления и тормоза. Толкотня, выхлопы, агрессивные взбешённые из-за долгого стояния водители. А если у тебя не компактный городской нейкед, а широкий павер-круизер или Голда, тебе порой вообще лучше занимать в пробке машиноместо и стоять вместе со всеми. В каком-то смысле даже лучше, если у тебя нет выбора "стоять в пробке или пытаться тесниться с опасностью и стрессом для себя".
Зато, если ты выезжаешь ранним утром или поздним вечером на кольцевую, ЗСД, в область и в другие подобные места, чтобы прокатиться с ветерком, либо едешь в дальняк — вот здесь у трицикла есть ряд серьёзных преимуществ. Самое главное это безопасность: тебе не страшны ямы, колдобины, рельсы, разметка и скользкая дорога. У тебя нет опасности завалиться на бок, словить вобблинг или боковой ветер. Как следствие, ты можешь ездить, например, в обычной обуви и относительно простой плотной одежде. Поездки в дождь, если уж пришлось, тоже существенно проще.
При этом ощущения полностью мотоциклетные — динамика и обзор, чувство скорости и управление — всё как у мото (на эту штуку нужны мотоциклектные права, и вообще по документам это мотоцикл). Ты получаешь такие же эмоции, при этом меньше рискуя: отлично подходит для тех, у кого взаимоотношения с мототехникой это не адреналиновая наркомания, а просто способ приобретать определённые впечатления, недоступные другим способом.
Ну и много мелочей сверху: больше вещей с собой везёшь (спереди багажник под крышкой), на пересечённой местности не страшно завалиться на грязи, меньше устаёшь сам (не нужно держать равновесие корпусом), легче ездить вдвоём с кем-то и т.д.
Скоро собираюсь в средний дальняк (до этого ездил в маленький), буду вам рассказывать по пути.

🎙 Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s answers to media questions following his visit to Malaysia
📍Kuala Lumpur, July 28, 2024
❓Question: The US has been obsessively trying to create another training ground out of countries in the southeast. Is it relevant to say that cooperation between Russia and Asia can help the region maintain its sovereignty?
💬Sergey Lavrov: Of course. I think we had a chance to see it for ourselves yesterday and the day before in Laos during the East Asia Summit (#EAS) and the ASEAN Regional Forum (#ARF).
Russia is seen as a balancing and stabilising factor in the context of countering the extremely sharp-elbowed actions by the countries outside the region, led by the US, who push their military infrastructure, including strategic arms. <...>
Our balanced and clear stance always comes from the need to create platforms for negotiations and to agree on the basis of a balance of interests. This stance receives respect. Certainly, in contrast to the invasive and aggressive course of the US and NATO for military development of the region, our stance is closer to our #ASEAN friends.
❓Question: Last night saw another escalation in the Middle East, namely a missile attack on a football ground in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights in which mostly children and teenagers were killed and injured. Israel has accused Lebanon, while Lebanon has put the blame on Israel. What is the likelihood of an all-out war between Israel and Lebanon? What could be done to prevent further bloodshed?
💬Sergey Lavrov: So far, we do not see any possibility of stopping the bloodshed. In response to numerous calls for a ceasefire, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stated that Israel will not stop until it destroys Hamas completely. I believe, and many of my colleagues share this view, that the destruction of that organisation, which has significant capabilities and enjoys broad support, including in the Muslim world, is an unrealistic task.
Russia condemns all terrorist attacks committed by any group. We condemned Hamas’s terrorist attack on Israeli civilians on October 7, 2023. But Israel’s retaliatory actions have been unacceptable. They are a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law and amount to collective punishment of people, which international conventions prohibit. <...>
I am sure that the main condition for a lasting solution to the Middle East crisis is the fulfilment of the UN Security Council resolution on the establishment of a Palestinian state as soon as possible. This cannot be achieved without restoring Palestinian unity so that the Palestinians themselves can determine the format of negotiations regarding their life in a sovereign state. This goal has not yet been achieved. Efforts must continue towards this end.
