Too bad they really don't go into any specifics of the design as to stability tries and fails. We must also keep in mind that land speed machines are never run if it is at all windy. And barely have traction at either end during a run so they are more dominated by ballistic stability theory than a motorcycle that still has both tires stuck to the road. Hence the long, high, tail like an arrow needs.

Another unrelated thought: This bike's solid aluminum front wheel cannot corner the bike via camber thrust the way a normal motorcycle does.
