He he he, not even close. I'd consider a Llama or alpaca. I did consider roos, but thought that wouldn't be fair.
1984 FJ1100 Ms Effie brand new :)
1984 FJ1100 Pearlie, stock as.
1985 FJ1100 Mr Effie 647,000K and still running hard.
1985 FJ1200 'Yummy' takes a licking & keeps on ticking
2013 Trumpy Tiger 800, let's do another lap of Oz

After all is said and done, more is said than done :)

Does an American Buffalo come close enough to a Camel to count?


Fred

Only if it has two humps.

What's the next challenge? How about adding descriptions about the photos?
There are bold riders.
There are old riders.
There are no old bold riders.

Alte Fahrt

Your FJ with an Italian sports car the same color as your bike and a description. :morning2:
There are bold riders.
There are old riders.
There are no old bold riders.

G'day Alt, when you say description, what are you suggesting? Is it a simple explanation of the situation of the photo, or how someone came to have the photo?

btw- still no camel and FJ, come one fellas, Llamas and Alpacas accepted..... (popcorn)

Over the years I've traveled a good bit of the world but I've never been down under. By a description I mean tell us what we're seeing. Take the first challenge, I'm sure you Aussies know what that statue is and what it means but most of don't have a clue.

BTW I have an Australian Sheppard dog (way too smart).

Noel got a shot of his FJ with Llamas.....

I actually was able to get a shot of mine with a Camel.


I'm not the fastest FJ rider, I am 'half-fast', the fastest slow guy....

I say fair dues, the challenge did not state a live camel or image of a camel. Fred, IMHO you may post the next challenge...
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

'86 Ambulance - Bent frame, cracked case, due for an overhaul
'89 Stormy Blue - Suits my Dark Side

I think an Italian Sports car should still be the next one.... I have been looking for a suitable subject to put Casper next too.

Baa humbug, a technical win not in the spirit of the competition.

If you were to show a group of people Fred's photo and ask them what they saw, they would all say a cigarette packet.

However, I am above such pettiness and will abide by the judges decision, as llamentable as it is. I think alpaca light lunch and go for a ride.

I don't think judges were selected for this competition. I saw Fred's entry as a creative way to get a camel in the picture and I offered my opinion. I think the spirit of this contest is fun and games.

Perhaps I missed your humor, if I did then I am sorry I missed it. But your first line clearly stated the camel/cigarette post was not in the spirit. I do not want to be critical on anyone, this should be a fun and entertaining thread. Feel free to continue in a PM if you like. Let the others search for the photo and continue the challenge. I did like the "alpaca light lunch and go for a ride"... All good mate.  :good2:

I thought the "Humbug, Alpaca and Llama" references over just 3 lines would be enough to identify it as humour, let alone the fact that someone could possibly take it seriously!

Oh well, chalk up another one to "lost in translation"

Maybe I should try "pie in the face" humour - not often funny but safe.

All good Mark.
