- In this second part of my hectic day to reach Santa Fe in Panama, I luckily get some help from a horseman to get my motorcycle back up the stairs to the bridge. It had already been a long day of 8 hours of riding and I am exhausted!

So many amusing comments about how to ride stairs, stand when crossing rivers, bike too underpowered to climb steep hills ... Noraly just did an 8 hour day in the jungles of Panama ... and found lodging ... and smiled the entire way. I for one am as entertained as I am proud of her. Folks who can only see as far as their monitor should keep their keyboards in a drawer. Peace!
Norley's bike is definatly the right choice for her and what she's doing, And frankly she probably has way more experience than 99.999% of her commenters when it comes to adventure riding. I would personally go with a bigger more powerful bike but I'm also a guy and built like a sumo wrestler And once body mass difference is factored in probably would be pushing about the same power to weight and torque to weight ratios as norley's bike with her on it.
Most of those commenters have other bikes to keep them going whilst having their damages repaired at the nearest shop.
You have no idea who the folks commenting are and what they can of can't do.
Ever thought if the possibility they mean well? Guess not.
You are right, she rode for 8 hours and found lodging and kept smiling. But that doesn't mean people are not allowed to give helpful and well intentioned advice. To throw in my two pennies of advice from my own off road trail riding experience it would be helpful to choose 2nd gear instead of 1st and keep the revs up and slip the clutch more. That way you are less likely to stall the engine. You play the clutch to control the speed rather than closing the throttle. No matter how experienced you may be, you should never be too proud to take good advice from your fellow bikers. Noone knows everything, we can all learn from eachother.
"bike too underpowered to climb steep hills ..." Define steep hills or watch people doing exactly that on RUclips. :D Having a light-weight bike helps a lot.
This channel is so different from everything else on RUclips. We love your enthusiasm.
The kindness of strangers is what has stood out in your travels. Once more we see that people are basically good.
But if the same person goes to visit Europe, He doesn't gets that Kindness and Help.
Visiting Iran was the greatest exposure of the MSM's negative influence on people's opinion of these countries, the people were so warm and welcoming to a "westerner" it shattered the prevailing mindset of many!! Noraly is doing real and positive work, and I can't get enough!
That's it :)
True that!
I've seen several videos about how the CRF300 Rally "isn't that great off road". Well, they haven't seen Noraly's adventures, have they? Lol. It seems that her bike can go pretty much anywhere she wants!
yup! they have stiffys for the africa twin and tenere. in they're eyes everything else is a scooter 🥴
Noraly did trips in India on RE Himalayan 411 which had realibility issues since launch it wasn't appricated by people in India Noraly helped RE himalayan to change attitude in people in India RE should reward Noraly 👍💯
So its not bike but Noralys Determination, Will power, and Courage which take her distances 💯👍👍
I think Honda should supply her motorcycles for free in return for use of her footage for advertising. That bike has been through hell and her trip isn’t half over!
Goes to show sometimes it's not the equipment but the rider and their determination that will make the difference. Imagine all these people living in these rural areas, those guys driving those vans on those roads that barely classify as roads. They're doing it regularly and those are not Land Rovers or Land Cruisers. I guess they get stuck often, but it's all about the never say die attitude as well. Noraly definitely has that..
This channel is a story of humanity, how to be humble, and the generosity of others who may be poor but are rich in spirit and faith.
Noraly looks at fork in road. Hmmm. Rocks, no problem. Mud, no problem. Hills no problem. Ehh. Rivers hmmm. No problem. 10KM Later “oh dear, what was I thinking. Then, ohhhh there’s steps. This is why we all adore you and your journeys. 😁
yeah but she needs to be less fearful. She needs to toughen up
Those steps look easy. She'd have no problem if she just went for it.
@@ronp.731 oh I think she’s plenty tough.
@@elgringoec Don't forget she has fully loaded bike, it's not easy.
Kkkk as travessias nos rios (problem), mas com todos esses testes você irá superar eles certamente.
My father, who will be 92 this year and is still riding motorcycles is so inspired by your spirit and attitude. It helps keep him going. He can't wait for your next video. Thanks for sharing.
wait a minute, 92 and still riding ? ..this i gotta see..you guys should make some utube videos :)
That is amazing to here. He is an inspiration. 👍
Incredible! Good luck 👍
Whoa!!! Kudos to your dad! He's a total badass hahah
@@hwyfly1 I'm just hoping I have his genes and that I'm not a product of the milk man... LOL. 🙂
This lady has earned my respect.I can't believe sitting waiting for new episodes she is addictive. Top national geographic thing man.away from wars and drugs and all shit from Latin America then she proves how there is still humanity and beautiful places and people away from greedy politicians who thrive in chaotic environment. You wonder why the world can't be like this.
Couldn't have said it better. North America needs to learn from her attitude. I'm from and live in Canada.
Yes Daniel, you said it all. Away from mainstream media, we find this is the real world. And we so need to know this.
God bless that kind horse rider and his family 🙏
What amazes me as much as anything is how Noraly finds the time to edit and produce three quality videos every week, week after week. Amazing ! 🇬🇧
Guessing she has a production team or person. or someone riding along.
@@zzxxenith She rides alone but she explained in her last Live Chat that she has some remote support e.g with selling her Merchandise
I admire Noraly's courage...Love her personality...and respect for the local people & their culture....
Wow. Your angels are working overtime to put people in your path to help. Thank goodness.
I haven't said this but Noraly is such a skilled drone pilot and along with that she picks the most brilliant, melancholy and most serene music that goes along with the clips shown in her videos.
That's Funny I was just thinking about her music the other day. I totally agree 👍
I totally agree.
Perfection to the core 👍
@@noelbrown6771 exactly! Are you talking about episode 30?
I do not think Noraly knows it but see is using a sound track that my favorite security think thank, CSIS, uses. They post on you tube also but I doubt she has time to watch them.
And she hauls around a drone and its batteries just to get stunning footage for us. That's pretty above and beyond.
The best way to enter the weekend: follow Noraly in her awesome adventures! ❤
It's scintillating can't wait for next episode.
Me to 😍🥰
I've been hanging by my fingernails over the last several days, worried about how Noraly was going.
This has been one of the tougher tracks I've seen her do. As usual guts and determination won out.
This tenacious young woman never fails to inspire admiration in me. Amazing.
Whew!!! That was fun! Can't wait to find out what was crawling around on the roof!
Alaska needs a rest by now. She's a mountain climber, a mud bogger, a tarmac leaner, and a swimmer. What an inspiration to all those other 'adventure' bikes out there. She's their idol. 🗽
Noraly yet again encompasses the trials and tribulations, the good and the bad, the very essence of independent solo motorcycle travel in foreign lands... you just have to "cross that bridge when you come to it"!
Wow, folks, if it looks steep in a GoPro, it is REALLY STEEP! Impressive.
Ha Ha Noraly 😁, Locals are like "How did you get here ?"..Noralys like " Down the road" locals: "WHAT ROAD???" What an absolute star, you make Charlie and Ewans adventures look like a walk in the park....and you are alone ! Truly inspirational.
SO MUCH FUN ! ... I love how you show the world that people are 99.99% good and will help you if you need it. This trip is awesome, thanks much Noraly ! ❤❤👍👍
The more I see the more I believe the biggest problems in the world are those determined to gain power or wealth no matter the effect on others which of course has always been the problem. It is so beautiful to see how kind the people are.
Nobel price for the most positive person ever goes to…..Noraly! Thank you so much for this!
Every time you have to ride through the deep water when crossing a river, I am saying to myself "come on Alaska, keep going, you can do it." And you always make it! Such determination you have. So relieved when you find accommodations and have a safe place to relax and recuperate from the days journey. Excited for the next episode.
I'm always saying "keep on that throttle!"... Need to maintain momentum in the rivers and hill climbs -- not a good place to stop as you might not be able to set off again. It's naturally difficult to commit to more speed when slower feels more cautious, though.
@@Thirsty_Fox exactly this, stand up on the pegs and use your body weight and momentum to negotiate difficult terrain. Plus riding the bike is lots easier than pushing it.
@@davidwelsh829 I agree, but I think the problem for Noraly is all the extra weight is making the bike top heavy. Obviously she must feel if she loses control she will have a big problem getting the bike upright again…….. especially if it happens in the middle of the river in two feet of water.
I have done a lot of Atv riding on steep terrain and through rivers and yes momentum is a big help, but it’s a lot harder on a dirt bike loaded with so much gear.
@@Thirsty_Fox she has explained this river crossing situation on the previous video, why she chose to do it slowly. I fully understand her decision and it proved to be the right one
@@davidwelsh829 Standing up on the foot pegs makes the rider look like a demented Meerkat & also an even bigger numpty ,when they go flying over the handlebars & end up impaled on a cactus. Motorcycle manufacturers ,fit their machines with saddles for a reason .
Kindness of the people in so many of your video's. Awesome scenery 👌
Noraly, you are so blessed that there was a man willing to help you back over the bridge and that you were able to again find a nice place to stay. Glad you made it through the river crossings and up the rough/wet roads. Gorgeous country though - thanks for sharing and stay safe! 😊👍🏍
Just how you roll, Noraly. Every time you put yourself in a situation where help is needed, some just happens to be there. Traveller’s good fortune follows you everywhere.
The pretty blue eyes help every time 😀
I'm exhausted after watching the last two episodes. You've got some grit, Noraly. This kind of adventure riding isn't always so fun, but it's fun to watch you do it.
My arms are sore too.
I was ready to kiss the pavement when she got on it.
This makes you appreciate the easy stuff.
Of all the countries you have shown us, Panama has been the most surprising. I didn’t know it was so beautiful and had such variety. Thanks Noraly 👍
Everywhere in the world we can get help from the kind men.
It is very nice, good luck Nurali.!!!
I have watched every episode you've posted and have often wondered what you will do once you've had enough riding. I think the Dutch government would be very wise to make you a diplomat. The way you deal with people and adversity is very admirable.
I think you're right, people forget you have all your heavy luggage on the back. When you came to the steps, I thought you could just ride down them. Then coming back lucky to have help from a friendly local. As you say, "all part of the game." I was waiting for whatever was on the roof at the end to jump down and surprise you. I'm glad your getting some good editing time in. Thanks, Noraly for this beautiful video.
While Norley is an accomplished rider, she still has a long way to go on her skills. I don't mean that as an insult but as an honest observation. I've literally ridden a much bigger and heavier bike up and downstairs fully loaded with field camping gear. Down isn't too bad, you mostly just have to keep the bike in the middle and control your speed using the rear brake. Up is much more challenging because now you have throttle and clutch control in addition to keeping your momentum and balance while steering. However, those stairs were more akin to a short steep hill if you can keep to the tracks which would actually make it easier. But, that is if you can keep the bike on track.
It's called technical riding for a reason, it's all about rider skills. Just riding miles doesn't cut it, if you don't train and practice while continuing to challenge yourself you never build essential skills or maintain them. Some of those roads are far more technical than it looks on camera.
There is a secondary factor at play here as well. Fear. Norley is rightfully fearful of injuring herself out in the middle of nowhere in a country where medical care is not the best, or may not even be accessible. That tempers much of what she does with heavy-handed caution. This is not a criticism, it's an honest observation. And to be frank about it, she's not at all wrong for how she approaches some of these obstacles given her skills level and fear levels.
She's come a long way from the beginning of her channel skills wise. I'm confident that her skills will only grow as her confidence allows her to take on more challenges and greater risks.
Love your videos Noraly! A word of advice? It's tiring, but try standing up on the pegs and being more aggressive (faster) It will stabilize the bike. This includes water crossings. I know you fear being injured in a far away place... but being timid is not your friend on a dirt bike. But what do I really know? Just trying to be helpful...
@@PetrolJunkie Agreed. Cringed at that river crossing, NO WAY I'd tackle that without walking it first and sussing out the best route.
I'm not the best rider but pretty sure I could do those stairs. However as you said about being in the middle of nowhere, I would walk it. I would take very few risks
Noraly, The best channel, with the best person, of any channel, on any type of TV. We see the real world and real people living their lives thanks to Itchy Boots's enthusiastic passion. Love it!
Wow very inspiring! Shows there is a world full of great people. Definitely adding this to my bucket list. Amazing videos. Keep up the great work.
A motorcycle instructor with the Nederlandse police now sits there, looking at the screen all puzzled and saying "…but I saw her ride up stairs!"
A most enjoyable video! 🤗
I was thinking of exactly the same thing!
U thought the same ......
The same as he says!!!
I thought the same!
A few things come to mind, firstly there's a lot of luggage on Alaska, compared to the policebike, and it was a narrow bridge, without almost any room for error. Walking it up was probably the smart thing to do.
Noraly, you are the most impressing adventure motorcycle rider I have ever watched on RUclips. I enjoyed by now all your seasons and every episode is a kind of its own. What I always notice is that you don`t curse an just take everything in a positive and funny way and that impresses me even more. The best of luck for your continuous adventure and I really looking forward to watch your next videos🤗😘
Unless you count the, "Oh Dear 's"!😆
@@stromxtc2033 Yeah, thats right but no God's and Jesuses 😂
@@klausdietrichfn If she was English she would say "Good Lord!" or "Oh, I say!" or possibly even "Well I'm blowed!" Just kidding, English people don't talk like that any more, but I did know an old gentleman back in the 1980s who used to respond to unexpected problems with a mild "Well look at that!" before calmly setting about solving the problem!
Noraly is so good natured and kind hearted. There is no doubt she knows those words but chooses to express her emotions with kinder words… I for one am grateful. My favorite word under those situations is “crumbs”. For me it works well, I also like “well, would you look at that” too. But crumbs is my go to…
Thank you so much for going through central america.
It's beauty is breathtaking. Beautiful people and culture. Most are hardworking, humble and transparent.
I was so sad to leave it.
As you encountered steps I immediately thought...of Daleks!
But pleased to see the chivalrous help from a knight in shining armour. There, temporarily at least, when you surely needed one. And elsewhere, I'm imaging St Christopher is looking after you.
This is what I call excellent viewing ! Your episodes air here in Cape Town, South Africa at around 17.30 every afternoon and I can't wait for the next show !!! There's so much to see in all the places you travel through!! Thank you !!
I knew you’d have to go back up those steps. Winners make their own luck. That fellow was meant to be there to help you. Lush & beautiful environs.
You’re a nutter, Noraly! 😂🤣 Love it. Fantastic! 🙏🙏
"I'm going to listen to the man with a snorkel on his truck" - wise words. Your videos are the best, love your enthusiasm and the adventure!
At what point does protection, good fortune and good luck transition into a God-thing? Out of all the folks I follow on the internet, none are more transparent, none pile up more unique adventures, none risk more and none post more often and with greater regularity. I stand in awe and you have my respect.
This has been where Noraly stands apart from the others, quality viewing of interesting places on a pretty regular basis.
On particularly rough days you can remind yourself that your track record for getting through bad days so far is 100%, Noraly. And that is pretty damn good!!
14:37... Just love the way the horse looks at Noraly and the bike. 😁
Very nice man who helped you up the stairs, what a kind legend
What an amazing adventure. Most of us will never ride in other countries or on so called roads that you do, but you tackle it on a daily basis. You are an amazing and brave woman.
To hear you use the terms, 'terrifying terrain' makes us realise just how tricky today was. Great big thumbs up, Noraly and Alaska.
What a ride !!! Very, very hard!!!! Mamma mia! Well done, Noraly!! You’re really brave and an excellent motorcyclist ✨🏆✨
Thanks so much for letting us ride with you where most of us will never be able to go!
The scenes showing front wheel suspension working in rough terrain are really awesome!
How do you know you are adventure riding? The locals know immediately that you are almost lost! The willingness of folks to help seems to be just as true in Panama as it is here in Ecuador. Buena suerte Soggy Itchy Boots!
@TROPANG SUGOD nobody asked this.
@@AlexVas999 yes they did:
How do locals immediately know you're an adventure rider?
They see the equipment, i.e. very expensive satelite GPS receiver.
@@stephanuhu963 nope. It was just a theoritical question which he immediately amswered it right away 🤦🤦
@@AlexVas999 rhetorical not theoretical
@TROPANG SUGOD All GPS devices are connected directly to the satellites.
Just one word for you Norally...you are the most brave lady in the world...and for today your journey you got a helping from the God cause you are a very fiendly lady...
good luck my brave lady 👍😍
That bridge crossing, to & fro was just spellbinding!!! You're full of positive vibes. That's what keeps you going, I guess.
Getting ready to go out on a ride, but couldn't leave until I watched Itchy Boots!
Nice in Pennsylvania today!! Took my multistrada 177 miles with my wife for lunch!!😀😀😀😀🏍🏍🏍🏍🍺🍺🍺
Thank you for sharing with us! It's beautiful there!
For all of us, bikers, adventurers, it's just bizzare how you manage to do this, many times per week. What a life. What an archive. All the best for the next day, ItchyBoots
Young lady, your “GET IT DONE” attitude and truly sweet demeanor is so refreshing.
Thank you so much for sharing your adventures.
The type of topography in Panama makes riding off the tar quite a challenge. The one consolation is every road appears to be inhabited by helpful people! I wouldn't want to attempt what your doing without speaking and understanding Spanish! Safe journeys!
always so nice to discover new streets and parts of the world with you..................
One of your angels showed up again, just in time. Tremendous adventure. Godspeed.
How can one beat this channel? An extremely attractive young lady, who is multi-lingual, smart, courageous, modest, friendly and upbeat!!! Really, she deserves much, much, respect and admiration. This stuff is not easy. I've done little bits and pieces of this, but the way she soldiers on, often not knowing exactly where she is, in a strange country and culture, yet pulls through, always with that sense of adventure and that gorgeous smile and that lovely laugh! You, my dear young lady, are very, very impressive and as an old motorcyclist of 48 years, I thoroughly enjoy all your adventures. Thank you for the effort, and keep on smiling!!!!
Honda just sold another thousand CRF350s... Hope they send Inundated Boots a thank you note. Love the view from the camera mounted on the lower right that allows us to see Alaska's front fork working to make the ride a bit smoother for our heroine. Stunningly beautiful countryside. Not what I imagined Panama to be.
It's a 300. A 350 would be even better but unfortunately probably add considerable weight.
The piece of kit I am most impressed by is those boots. Very expensive but they seem to have stood up to everything.
I always watch the entire advertisements here paciently. It's my way that I've found to say: Thanks Noraly for your amazing content and to makes me happy in each episode.
yes a small price to pay for us to watch and support such great youtube content :)
So do I and we all should
I pay for RUclips premium. I mainly have it so Bach is not interrupted, but it is pretty nice for itchy boots.
@@oklahomahank2378 vanced
Love your smile and laugh when things go pear shaped. Great attitude . Your enthusiasm is contagious.
That little Honda is impressive.
The road might be ruff but I see how beautiful the mountains are! Your finding all the rivers Noraly s o proud of you. We are having so much fun watching you! 🥰
Watching the mountains go by, I wondered if you forgot to eat, or to fuel-up!?
Every ep is like a mini movie, there's an obstacle for our protagonist to encounter, and she always went through even though every ep has different types of problems for her to cross. and at the end we're always satisfied , and want more
👆🏼
This is my third time watching this season, lol. I'm still amazed by her camera work and editing. It really feels like Hollywood TV show quality.
Me encanta escuchar y ver su sonrisa. Es tan alegre y positiva a pesar de las dificultades. Lindo lo que presentas.
400 kilometers / 249 miles on unpaved, rocky, muddy roads, and knee deep water crossings! Yup! I'd be tired too :-) I'm hoping if Itchy Boots ever comes by San Francisco Ca I'll be fortunate enough to wave at her as she goes by :-)
we should all ride once she gets to the bay area !
Always love your "oh dear" comment when you attack a new challenge...I usually have a different phrase (same amount of letters), but will try "oh dear" next time!
You are a true adventurer!!! And with the people....you get what you give. You give positive and friendly and you get it returned to you. You go girl!!!
Your words in Ecuador became prophetic cuz you said that you came for adventure and it's exactly what you're getting Noraly.👍👍👍
I'm waiting to see the beauty of Alaska by your camera
Best of luck Noraly♥️.
She can take her time as winter has 3 more months here in Alaska.
What a day indeed! If there is adventure to be found...Noraly is on it! So glad the gentleman was there to give you a hand...though I have no doubt you’d have aced it alone...soggy feet and all. Cool video!
You keep me up to late at night Noraly I can’t get enough of your videos thanks.
A very very big applouse for such a accomplishment....your a warrior in bad roads....stay safe and God bless always....
Wow ! Unable to take my eyes off the screen . What a wild ride ., those roads and bridges were something to write home about , and yet another stream to cross !! You1re unstoppable NORALY !! Great video with some beautiful mountain scenery as well !!!thank you again and again !!!
I love you Noraly, I want to be like you when I grow up! You’re such an inspiration! I admire you!
"It's all part of the game anyway! " needs to be a T-shirt! Amazing! 💐
We can all agree, if one is asked the question, "Can you do adventure riding in Panama?" The answer is, "Yes!"...'ONLY' if you're Itchy Boots.💯
Yep that was adventure enough and some hard work but what a beautiful lush green countryside. Sta afe have a good nights rest and see you soon. Hou het veilig, tot snel.
Noraly you`r truly a special kind of person. never heard you say cant do that, or that`s too hard you are truly unstoppable.Good luck and best wishes from Florida
New Zealand. We love you & the beautiful out of the way places you take us. Your so amazing girl. Thank you for all you share. Love n Peace
There is a word for what you do. RESPECT. I cannot imagine myself doing anything of what you do.
that side faring shot is great to give an idea of the slopes you are climbing/descending
another day with some nice scenery, great banter and lots of adventure. I like it 🤗.
It's great that you show us the parts that don't go to plan as well as the good. I wish you luck and will continue to watch.
O woooooooow You managed again to reach safe an Hotel🎉🎉🎉🎉
So nice of that man helping You with Alaska going through the stairs into the beidge🎉🎉🎉
You must have a Higher Power along for the ride on your journey Noraly, placing amazing places and people strategically in your path. You are awesome. Now we all have to wait three days for our next dose of Itchy, darn it!
You make my day with every video. Your adventure is also nerve-wracking for the viewers. Right or left? I shout: drive on the right, drive on the right. What is she doing? She drives on the left. I beg you, no, no, in this creek bed, it's too dangerous, don't do it. But Noraly drives through. And everything goes well. That's the way it's supposed to stay. But what fascinates me just as much at the moment is the increasing number of subscribers. The million is soon reached, I can hardly wait. Have a good trip, Noraly, we are always with you!
Well deserved all the credits. Great riding, very brave, good mood and SPEAKS THE LANGUAGE! Congrats!
Your life with Alaska is verry adventuristic, and sometimes not an easy one. Keep on smiling and I am looking out for your next video Noraly.
Groetjes and keep on trucking,
Hi Noraly, you have made your posts my routine, I can't wait for them to be posted, Please be very careful it seems you have become a world wide favorite. Thanks
the best part of your videos is going to a remote place, where only the adventurous willing to go. And the remote is the beauty of the journey !
Absolutely remarkable woman. Brilliant. Thankyou for allowing us to share your experiences. Main Stream Broadcasters should take note of your amazing effort.
I love the adventures we take with her. Lovin Life for sure.
I’ll say it again, you are a brave girl. I envy your initiative, adventure…..I’m 69. If I was only younger. Good luck, my dear.
Well done, Noraly! Seems your Guardian Angels watch out for you, and always seem to send along help when really needed. 😉 Sounds like a big Iguana on your metal roof. Enjoy the rest, if you can.
Noraly and her new amigo got Alaska up the challenging steps, team work makes the dream work.
Gracias Noraly. I am from El Salvador and believe me , you are one strong and fearless woman. Absolutely amazing adventures.
