Camel Mk 1 Lookalike

One of my fellow countrymen wants to sell his Camel. I build it some years ago, it has Italian paperwork and looks really really really good. It has been standing for a while so maybe the carbs need cleaning. It's actually the last model with the roundtube frame, a 501 Excaliburmotor and has the Mk 1 looks. Offers around € 4500,-

That looks nice and should find a new home without too much bother.

Actually you can't come there without crossing the sidewalk and the bicycle path, but since it's an offroad I just did it

Ah... so the red tarmac means a cycle path?
You naughty boy.. Still, it's a great picture.

Yes, but not always, so don't take it too seriously
It did raise some eyebrows but that was probably more because it's very noisy

The fietspad is sacrosanct in NL and Belgium. Try walking on one in Belgium and the peleton out for a Sunday ride will run you over.
Shame it is noisy, no good for trail riding in England and Wales, the authorities do not need any more excuses to close the unmade public highways to bikes and cars.

Yes they are, if I am cycling through the city I'm pretty mercyless myself
The noisy part is for a new owner to resolve, I liked it actually:
