My varna has been ridden in high winds during competition at 50 mph for an hour. The wind definitely makes a difference in handling, our rider didn't slow down when crossing dust devil cyclonic storms in his path. A trike might be a lot easier however. Graft on an ATV front end onto a motorcycle and fair it in. The CanAm I think really missed the boat when it comes to efficiency with their trike.
