  • Trying to reach the remote Nakum Mayan ruins turns pear shaped. The track is in horrible condition and part swamp, part mudpit. I get stuck with my motorcycle and then the enormous struggle begins. How am I getting out of here?!

    I’ll just put this here - yes, these tyres are not good, I know 😅 In case you missed it when I talk about this before: I cannot get better tires here in the size that I need (nor a little taller, wider etc tires). They are simply not available. Ordering from abroad takes a month or more so is not an option. Trust me, I have looked at ALL the option 😂 That’s just life on the road when you don’t have time to wait somewhere for weeks for tyres, you have to work with what you’ve got 🤷‍♀️ And no bad tire is holding me back from trying to see some amazing Mayan temples 🤪

      Hi! I am a girl and I have a Duke, tires with almost no tread and once I drove onto a dirt road after rain. I had to go uphill, the tires slipped and I constantly filed, bathed in all the puddles, in some of them three times))) I had to lift the motorcycle many times, I was afraid that I would stay on that road forever, I somehow stood on my feet , so tired. But in such cases, now two thick, strong large sticks help me, I use them like levers, a heavy motorcycle can be lifted, even if the wheels are higher than the steering wheel. I recommend taking a small saw or a chain saw with you: you can cut such sticks and firewood.

    I’ve been riding motocross and off road for over 40 years and I wouldn’t have attempted what you did on those tires. I was cheering you on the whole time. I bet my neighbors even heard me. The feeling you get when you accomplish something that seems almost impossible is only felt by those who never give up.

      My family has 20 aces on a river in Honduras adjacent Pico Bonito national park and a resident jaguar on the property... It has been no problem for the one worker living there. I am scared of them though. I was walking with a friend down a path onto the river beach when we heard rustling in bushes surrounding a tree we just walked past. A huge black animal jumped out and bound away from us into the jungle. I am glad I was not alone.

Noraly's determination gave me a calm thought: even with the world in flames we should not give up hope; people like Noraly prove that we're built to overcome the odds, no matter how steep. Thank you for another bright encouraging moment.

      That's not how life works.. Sometimes being challenged by others is how you learn. Being told you are doing great even when you're not isn't going to make themselves better. As long as the person is giving constructive criticism its all fair game.. Being a jack ass and just saying you cant ride stop already or you are too weak to do this!! Does she make lots of mistakes, yes, does she learn from them yes.. Will people call her out on things she's doing wrong.. Yep because she putting this out for the world to see and not expecting pushback isn't how it works. Challenge yourself.. take on the people who criticize don't live a life expecting people to just tell you want you want to hear.

      Err don't tempt fate people can and do lose their lives going into very remote places with no back up. Weather, conditions and equipment can all go pear shaped meaning people struggle to stay alive then it becomes a question of survival and how good your problem solving is and whether you make the right decisions to get out alive and in one piece. As I say people do die, perish because they got into a situation they couldn't get out of.

    This video brought back so many memories of doing geophysical surveying in the Gran Chaco in norther Paraguay. We were surveying along lines cut into the bush & the terrain was just like this. We spent many a happy hour digging our vehicles out of the mud. All the vehicles had winches, but the nearest suitable anchor would always be just beyond the end of the cable. Sometimes we just had to sit and wait for the Aguatero to come by. If it looked really boggy, we'd stop and investigate, and then out with the machetes and cut a bypass. God bless & safe travels Noraly.

If I was ever in a survival situation, I would want you to be the team leader! Most people would have turned around after they got the bike back up, but not you. Power on!

    Great adventure! Yaxha, "casa verde" in maya languages means House of green-blue . And the colibrí is called tzunun with the mythical mission of giving messages from the "gods" such as the jaguar or Bolom ( for different regions the words may change a bit). The roads to ancient mayan towns are mostly to be respected in awe of their ceiba trees and vines. I believe that you and alaska made a marvellous work to traverse them. Congratulations It will be a long weekend waiting to see the next episode Gracias Noralita Yaxsit (ojos azules)

      Little correction yaxha mean 'agua verde' green water . it is a beautiful green water lagoon in yaxha , full of crocodiles by the way.

    • @peceglez8960
      @peceglez8960 2 года назад +1

      Gracias, and True that! HA or Ja would mean water or even body of water ( lake, river). I mixed it up with the word NAH or Ná, which means casa House. A few interpretations apply to YAX both "green and blue" (the hues of turquoise and the pigments of maya ancient murals), but also "sacred, - the first"

    The patience it takes to put in the miles on rides like this. Constant mental geometry with the physical fatigue, you’ve got to ride trails in the jungle like this to fully appreciate what it takes mentally to not get frustrated and do something stupid.
    Tons of respect sister! Your mentality is that of a true survivor.

    As motorcycle enthusiast I immediately spotted that tires would cause some problems especially in trails since you bought it in El Salvador. Although, as you have said you don't have a choice.
    Anyway, just always keep one step ahead of any incident. Take Care, Ms. Schoemaker. I really like your content. I observe Guatemalan people were so good & helpful. I really know that people living in the those kind of area you go are more cool than those in the cities. 👊

    Noraly, you are a true champion. I recently returned from a 16 day 5,000km road trip on paved roads only. Only after doing this trip did I start to have a comprehension how impressive your travels are. You are an inspiration in any condition, on any tire and more.

  • @0HARE
    @0HARE 2 года назад +39

    What a brutal ride. I’m amazed that you kept going.
    Especially knowing that you would have to return on the same route.
    If you got really stuck out there, with jaguars, etc., it could be life threatening.
    Those temples better be spectacular.

  • @jaimeriveras
    @jaimeriveras 2 года назад +10

    To ride that extremely difficult trail, alone and with no options to get help in case of trouble, took a lot of courage, strength, stamina, skill, and determination. I used to like you; now I’m coming to admire you 😀. Thanks for the great video. It left me drained and exhausted.

    This reminds me of when I crashed on a dirt road and broke my shoulder! There was no one around to help me as I struggled for hours to lift my bike. Finally, another person on a motorcycle rides by and seeing my struggles just waves and keeps going. You feel so lonely at those times. But, you are so strong from all your adventures, overcoming adversity, wisely getting a bike not too heavy, and made it! Your tires are perfect because you have to ride a great deal on the road but go off road too! I am sorry you couldn't go to Belize because it's the only Central American country we've been to and it's so beautiful and spectacular. However, where you've been is spectacular as well. Excited to see where you travel through the U.S. and Canada! There are too many great places to choose from!

  • @denydias8923
    @denydias8923 2 года назад +20

    Absolutely amazing ride! You've said it all: "I don't care what you say, that I walk my bike." You are there, we don't. You gotta do what you gotta do. And you did. Oh, but you nailed it!
    I"m struggling to decide which was the most difficult/dangerous ride day you had... the one you burned Basanti's clutch, the freezing border crossing into Kyrgyzstan, Sani Pass with Savannah, the flood crossing with Dhanno at Bolivia or this very one.
    I pick this one for one single reason: jaguars! All the others were kinda you against the elements and you could always choose to back off and all is solved. But once a jaguar decides you are the lunch, there's nothing much you can do anymore, not even press that InReach's SOS button. So, let's hope a jaguar instinct doesn't feel you that yummy!
    Fantastic rides you're delivering to us, Noraly! All the best and try not to become a jaguar lunch.
    PS: last week I was traveling with my mum and dad. We crossed some places with jaguars and all the three were kinda worried with that. Now I see you all that happy when glimpsed one... my family bravery lies in you!

    Wow... I'm exhausted just watching you go through this muddy hell! I chuckled when you mentioned not caring about having to walk the the bike through some of those ruts. I can't imagine any armchair or real rider critisizing you for that. You do whatever you have to do to clear the obstacle. I've watched your riding skills and confidence improve over the years. You've got more guts than the vast majority of riders. As a rider who's now had 7 back surgeries, it was painful for me just to watch you drag Alaska from the mud and get it upright. I salute you Noraly. You are an exceptional traveler, rider, woman, and person. I look forward to many future videos and adventures. :)
