Why do they extend the swingarms?

so they dont flip it when at the drag strip.
it doesnt wheelie as easy

I do like the exhausts ... mmmm. The rest, well, I just don't get 'merkins; they're generally nice, friendly characters but there's something wrong with their brains

I'll say.......its easy to see they do all their riding in *straight lines* , gee what a lot of fun that must be

The real riders can be found at Deals Gap !!

But wouldn't that sacrafice handling at the track? Anyone can go fast in a straight line, but cornering is where its at

I can understand on a straight line mechant like a Bussa, and possibly on a 14, but the 10 is a corner machine not a straight liner - extended swing arm on it looks wrong.
