Interested in Ixion's comments about faired bikes in wind. My old BMW K100RS tended to get battered about in crosswinds but the Blackbird doesn't, even with its greater fairing side area. I reckon it's your moment of inertia that has the biggest influence (BMW half fairing high up from the pivot point (the road) and the same for the upright stance of the rider. Possibly a higher centre of gravity too and forward-biased for the Beemer.
And on that technical note, I will go and do some useful work to earn a crust...
