watching the early design of the Ecomobile being tested,they set up some blowers and had the Ecomobile drive past,it counter steered,the bike moved away then turned into the direction of the sidewind loading.Dan White had said that he was coming out of a right hand turn at 75 mph in his Ecomobile,encountering some wind loading from the right side,he found himself turning left while going right.The streamlining has to be right to avoid blow overs,I'm guessing rounded front,long wheelbase,some venting,scoops,etc.
