On our southwest trip, we did spot a couple of three-wheel motorcycles.
I was never close enough to catch the logo.  I've seen some motorcycles
with two wheels in the back before, but these had two front wheels.  I
have no idea how much they cost, how stable they are (or are not) --
just that they looked strange.  Maybe one of the guys here who rides
motorcycles has had a closer look and opinion.

A quick Google turned up a couple of links to the type of thing I am
talking about -- none of them are exactly what I think we saw though.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.05
 
      Title: Fassoulada (Greek Bean Soup)
 Categories: Greek, Soup, Vegetarian, Vegan
      Yield: 8 servings
 
      1 lb Dried navy beans
      2    Onions; chopped
      2    Celery stalks with leaves
           - chopped
      2    Carrots; scraped & diced
      4    Sprigs fresh parsley;chopped
      1 c  Chopped, drained tomatoes
      1    Bay leaf
      2    Sprigs fresh mint or thyme
           Salt & freshly ground pepper
    1/3 c  Olive oil
 
  Wash beans and soak overnight in cold water.  The next day, in a soup
  kettle, bring the beans to a boil in the soaking water.  Skim off the
  foam, then add the remaining ingredients, cover, and simmer gently
  until the beans are tender, about 3 hours.  Serve hot.
  
  Note: Less frequently, the soup is pureed through a sieve.  Also, you
  may add the herbs during the last hour or so of cooking, if you wish.
