Every motorcycle that I see on the roads, and everything posted for sale on craigslist has an extended swingarm.
I know why they are doing it, but also have no idea WHY they are doing it.

Welcome to the south, I guess.

You think the south is bad just go to a bike night in north Ohio. When I lived near Cleveland I saw things that confused me as to if I should laugh, cry or be angry.

One really cool guy was telling me how "bad" his custom GSXR1000 was and that I should chrome mine out like his and get with it. He had, like everyone else, a chromed frame, extended swingarm, custom chrome wheels, one front brake rotor, nitrous, spike bar ends/pegs/mirrors, custom paint etc... Oh yeah, 2 inch chicken strips.

He was cool though because he didn't wear a helmet (they were for fags) or gloves but he did wear a bullet proof vest. So cool.  ::)

These winners were a dime a dozen in Cleveland. I shit you not.

That's one of the first things Justino told me about when I got my bike! Those darn "chicken strips".  I may still have a few, but not as many as my husband has on his bike :)

I really like that cliver Kick Stand. It must be a bitch to carry with you. I wonder if they come with rear wheel steering also. Like the new GMC trucks?
Jossie Whales would call that a Missouri Boat Ride.   That thing would probably give you  a BUCK and then a Chuck.  The mother of all High sides.
