MY ADVENTURE WITH THE 2007 CAMEL!   ONE HUMPER, A 650 PUTT PUTT!

A LOT OF PEOPLE LOVE THEIR CAMELS!
I AM GLAD! BE HAPPY WITH YOURS .

THEY BOUGHT MINE AND ARE HAPPY!
 

HERES MY OPINION...I PAID FOR IT,(so I can say what i want)  I COMPARED IT TO MY OTHER BIKES, I EVEN RODE IT NEARLY10,000 km, AND  THIS IS  WHAT I THOUGHT OF IT!
 
 

 FIRST OF ALL..HERE I AM IN ADVENTURE MODE! I HAVE SUCCESSFULLY CONQUERED THE MTN , RODE RIGHT OVER IT!!!    AND I HAVE DISCOVERED A NEW OCEAN WHICH I WILL REVEAL NEXT JUNE.!
 I AM FLUSHED WITH SUCCESS AND FEELING VERY UPPITY ABOUT NOW!!!!!I HAVE  THE ULTIMATE ADVENTURE BIKE! I CAN GO ANYWHERE, RIDE OVER ANYTHING, I CAN GO FASTER THAN A GSXR AROUND A CORNER! I CAN SMOKE THE TIRE OFF IN 3 SECONDS! AND I DON'T EVEN HAVE THOSE  CAST IRON COOLER THINGS HANGING OFF THE SIDE TO MAKE ME FEEL REAL ADVENTUROUS! ! IF I HAD THEM I KNOW IT WOULD FLOAT AND I COULD RIDE IT TO CHINA!
ANYWAY...
THIS PIC WAS TAKEN BY NATIONEL GEOGRAPHIC. I SHOULD BE ON THE COVER NEXT SPRING!!
 

SO...
 
 
 

YOU WOULD THINK I WOULD BE HAPPY THEN, RIGHT??
 
 
 
 
 
 

WELL......
 
 
 
 

MY OPINION ON THE  CAMEL.
 
 
 
 

SIMPLE....SAYS IT ALL...

                                                ITS MY TURN!!!

I HAVE NOT GOT THE NAKED PIC OF ME UP YET, THE ONE I TOOK AFTER I LOST MY SHIRT(AND PANTS)  ON THIS DEAL!

NEXT WEEK!
 
 
 

AND FOR SOMETHING  SO POPULAR... IT TOOK ME A MONTH TO UNLOAD THIS THING..!!!
 

QUITE A PURCHASE!!.

FIRST OF ALL.I KNEW I'D HATE IT, but cheap got me! JUST BOUGHT IT FOR 2-UPPING AS IT WAS GREAT FOR THE PASSENGER AND IT WAS CHEAP!  PROBLEM WAS I ENDED UP HAVING TO STILL RIDE IT !
 
 

the good?  HAD A GREAT ENGINE. BUT THE REST WAS LIKE TRYING TO DRIVE A  PLASTIC CAMEL..

...IT COULD ACTUALLY GO ANYWHERE MY 81 BEATER CB COULD, WOW!!  AND IT WAS NEARLY AS QUICK ! TOO BAD THE COMFORT  WASNT AS GOOD. IT WAS THE ONLY BIKE I EVER OWNED THAT ACTUALLY MADE A  SMALL TORNADO BEHIND THE SHIELD JUST SITTING STILL!   YEA YEA..I TRIED ALL THE SHIELDS, ALL THE FIX'S, AND IT STILL SUCKED. SERIOUSLY SUCKED COMPARED TO REAL BIKES! SEE THAT TOP PIC?CHECK THE SHIELD..THE HINGE I PUT ON IT  SO IT WAS DOING NOTHING WAS THE ONLY THING THAT MADE IT RIDEABLE!  MAYBE IF I HAD COME OFF A CRUISER WITH A TOMBSTONE WINDOW, I COULDA HANDLED IT! BUT WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO? I HAVE BIKES THAT  ARE GOOD IN THE WIND..I KNOW THE DIFF! I ALSO HAVE THE PROBLEM THAT IF SOMETHING SUCKS....WELL...IT SUCKS..

I DON'T BELIEVE IN THE "I LOVE IT AND CAN  IGNORE THE  FAULTS THING" I DON'T CARE IF ITS MINE AND I AM NOT GONNA LOVE IT AT ALL COSTS...THIS THING SUCKED! I DIDNT LOVE IT! I MADE A MISTAKE.....  AGAIN:)

I MADE A MOVIE OF IT, I CAN PROVE IT!  GONNA CALL IT "GONE WITH THE WIND"
THE ONLY TIME IT WAS DECENT WAS WHEN I HIT THAT DEER AND IT STUCK TO THE FAIRING AND BLOCKED THE WIND! TOO BAD IT FELL OFF AFTER ONLY 6 DAYS!!

AND THAT SEAT!!    IT HAD BUGS IN IT..GIANT TOOTHY THINGS WITH DOUBLE STINGERS! THEY CAME OUT AFTER 30 MINUTES OF RIDING AND BIT RIGHT THRU THE SEATCOVER AND INTO MY BUUUUTOX!!    I TRIED TO KILL EM, POURED GAS DOWN THERE, BUT THEY JUST WOULDNT DIE! JEEZE....SOMETHING ABOUT BEING NOT ABLE TO MOVE AROUND IN THAT BUCKET! AND THE  STABILITY! NOTHING LIKE BEING A LEAF IN THE WIND! I WAS ALWAYS IN FEAR AND HUNG ON TIGHT WHEN I HAD TO MEET A STRAY DOG GOING THE OTHER WAY! SOMETIMES A DUCK WOULD SWOOP PAST ME AND NEARLY BLOW ME OFF THE ROAD! QUIT A FUN THING!!
I DID FEEL SORRY FOR IT..UGLY DUCKLING AND ALL..BUT..IT WAS JUST TOO UGLY TO LOVE! TOO UGLY TO BOTHER WASHING. POLISHING, OR LOOKING AT....I COULDNT PARK IT WITHOUT DOGS PISSING ON IT! LITTLE KIDS WOULD CRY AND I'D GET HELL FROM THE PARENTS! OLD LADIES WOULD  SPIT AT ME AT THE CROSSWALKS!!! I MISSED THE ENJOYMENT OF POLISHING AND  ENJOYING THE COOL LOOKS LIKE MOST BIKES! IT JUST SAT THERE ALONE, KINDA SAD!
GOT TO BE I COULD ONLY RIDE IT IN TOWN AT NIGHT! THANKFULLY IT DID HAVE PROBABLY THE BEST LIGHTS ON A BIKE I EVER  HAD! I SHOULDA JUST BOUGHT THE LIGHTS!!

MAYBE IF I HAD THOSE AMMO CANS ON IT,IT WOULDA SEEMED COOLER AND  I MIGHT HAVE LOVED IT..I JUST DUNNO..COULDNT FIND ANY AT SURPLUS HERBIES!
 
 
 

YES I GOT SUCKED IN BY THE CHEAPO PRICE!

SERIOUSLY THO...THE REAL PROBLEM WAS I CAME FROM A BIKE THAT JUST WORKED AND HAD  THE SENSATIONS A BIKE SHOULD HAVE, NOT A DISHWASHER! AND AFTER IT (WELL,  AFTER NEARLY EVERY BIKE I EVER OWNED) THIS JUST DIDNT CUT IT AT ALL ! SIMPLE AS THAT.  BUT IT WAS STILL BETTER THAN THAT WETNOODLE  SUSPENDED , VIBRATING, HAND NUMBING, TANKERBIKE I HAD IN 2000!!!  YEP..LET ME TELL YOU BOUTTHAT ONE...WELL..........LATER
