Alexander Yushkov, 49, a boiler room operator in a local mining company, has made a three-wheeler called "Bolivar." Yushkov uses it for off-road travel across the taiga through all possible weather conditions near the frozen Mana river in a remote taiga area, some 37 miles southeast of Russia's Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk. The vehicle was made by modifying and reconstructing a 1971 Soviet made "Izh Planeta" motorcycle.
