maybe when there's a serious wind.

i've driven it with 5 beauford and sideways it's a bit wobbely indeed, nothing i would get afraid of. my BMW R1150GS has a much bigger frontal surface and that's why it's far more scary when you hit the wave of a big truckload in the other lane. my recumbent does nothing with these 50 tonners ( KG ! )

sidewind reaction due to wind only is a bit more because of the fairing, i will work on the side-surface to get some less effect but it's allways going to stay a bigger surface then a naked bike. also it's a very light motorbike what's not improving the stability.

i'll keep you informed what hurricane i can take and when it's really getting suicide to drive.
