Bad idea if your worried about crosswinds. A vertical fin would tend to turn the vehicle into the wind, like a weathervane. This is why airplanes have them, it keeps the nose pointed into the relative wind. You want a car or motorcycle to stay pointed down the road, not swerve into the wind. Besides, you would add drag.
