- In this episode I have to cover over 700 kilometers in one stage. Its the farthest distance I've ever ridden in one day, and the far majority is on sand, dirt and gravel! Somewhere during the stage, three wild horses join the race too!

Good sportsmanship is when you, Itchy Boots, turns back to help another competitor with fuel.
And still manages to finish first.
small motorbike but amazing rider...Noraly plus savanah....best combination
@@boediprasetya2850 You know, quite often on this type of going then a huge, tall, heavy and probably over-powered macho behemoth is actually a disadvantage.
Apart from that, Noraly has shown us all, warmth, courage, skill, determination and sportsmanship, what an all-round stunning person and personality.
here here!! Good girl
It’s called ‘paying it forward’
"Wild horses couldn't drag me away" from watching Noraly and Savannah Win the Day! Defeating the demon sands while also going back and helping another rider. Itchy Boots is Number One!
Way to go 250 cc and a lite bike.
☝😎
My first thought when you went back to bring the guy on the bike fuel was the kind man who drove many kilometers and brought you fuel a couple of months back. You are the soul of good sportsmanship, you teach us all that winning at all costs is simply too expensive. I am always impressed by your riding and your attitude of kindness so none of this surprises me it just reinforces what I have already seen, WELL DONE. Next stop Dakkar.
exactly so
You rode back to help a fellow rider and you still got to the end of the stage first! Impressive Noraly!!! I feel like I'm riding in your jacket pocket. Keep us going!
Well said R E Gunter!
If she keeps up that kind of pace, then yeah maybe Dakkar next, who knows. Seeing how well she can ride that little 250 and still end that section before anyone else had arrived, imagine if she were on a faster, more powerful bike.
@@robertkirk5009 but would a bigger bike handle so well in the sand?
Competing in a rally is impressive. Competing and recording your experience is more impressive. Competing, recording, and interrupting your progress to run gas to stranded bikes is truly great.
Competing, recording, helping others, and doing it all on the smallest bike, and being a first timer... and being in first place is so incredibly unexpectedly amazing!
Noraly, it seems you are only just beginning to realize how truly great you are. And every other rider is realizing that too.
I am so enjoying watching to power through from one success to another.
Your videos make me feel like I'm on the home team, and we are really doing well.
Wow. Well done Noraly. Me and my family are rooting for you
. Best of luck.
Please realize she's not competing, she's riding in the "adventure moto" category, which is a 'ride along' trail ride that uses roads, formed tracks and the transport sections of the rally, it's for those wanting to have some fun following the rally without actually doing any of the special test sections or competing. There is no first, second or last place, everyone is there to just have fun.
@@pezzatrol Nah, she is winning or she would if she was racing.
there are something that money can't buy
for everything else, there is NORALY!
@@moviebod if she was racing she would last!
I love NORALY, but reality, is different than just well wishing her,
she is a good rider, nice person ..ETC ,but by no means she is a racer
don't expect the strong fish, be able to fly like an eagle, or eagle swim like a fish
Congratulations, you are not only a great biker but also a great person. Fulfilled the maxim of everyone who does off-road, never leave a partner behind. Returning and supplying fuel to another competitor demonstrates your character!
The legend keeps growing and growing. Agile modest little Savannah, skilfully tamed by Noraly. The new 21st century flying Dutchman is a woman on a bike and she is alive and kicking.
Well said Roland Noraly is riding for those of us who cannot.
Well said sir
Noraly is truly flying Dutchwoman of 21st century 😬
Lol . Good one , flying Dutch woman 👩
OMG, Noraly you are an absolutely phenominal woman! You have the kindest, compassionate heart for others, and yet the steel grit of strength and determination too. Your riding skills are BOSS! Congratulations of coming in first in today's stage. I have nothing but total respect for you!!!
Couldn’t be said better 👏
Couldn't say much enough Noraly.. You're one helk of a rider with real bug determination to be first... Thumbs up my friend!
Bridget, I fully agree with your comment, here.
Absolutely. An amazing person. Much respect. Nearly lose it and just a giggle. We can all learn from you.
Actually she is living the dream of many of us. The cool thing is that there is no envy, a very interesting feeling however arises after seen her riding, and I think it's Pride, which is very hard to deserve. So keep going!
Perfectly expressed
Yeah it's pride we're feeling for our girl!
Yup and she even went back to give fuel to one guy. Kudos..
So one horse says to the other "there's a woman rider, lets race her". The other horse replies "forget it, that's Noraly. We can run but we are not going to win". Congrats! A super ride.
You are a star Noraly. Such a kind gesture to turn around and deliver some gas to the stranded competitor rider. You have already won in all our eyes, and definitely have won our hearts. Ride On.
And when you go back to take fuel to the other rider we all fall in love with you all over again!
You will never know how much my heart swells when I see you overtaking people. So proud of you and Savanna.
I feel the same way!
It's our girl.
Yes!
Internet down for a week, no boots, itchy or otherwise. Glad to see that you were cruising down the sandy roads with a plomb. Your fellow bikers seemed very sociable and show great camaraderie. Looking forward to the next slot with less stress to complete the journey. God bless as usual and go n'eirigh an bothar leat, a cailín àlainn.
When I saw the three horses running along side the trail ,,,I thought it was Basanti , Dhanno , and Ronin spirits letting Savanna know ,,,Take this woman far ,take her swift , take her safely
That’s the most touching comment 🥺👏♥️
Well said!
Great analogy, I can truly see all of those bikes sending strength to both Savanna and Noraly. There is strength in those past "hunks of engineering and steele"
This comment deserves to be at the top 👍
Ahh now that’s touching
Never leave a stranded biker alone . Hats off Noraly for going back and helping other riders . True biking spirit and you are a great human and a role model
So impressed, I am almost at a loss for words. In trying times, true grit and humanity comes to the fore. Noraly, you have them both , in spades. I think those wild horses running represents your spirit....strength, energy, honesty and grace under pressure. Well done indeed. What more are you going to show us? Just being with you on your ride is such a blast. Ride safe. There are so many more adventures in your story and I can't wait for the next chapter😇
Beautifully said my friend. Looks like Noraly is truly building the largest family on earth 🌍😊
@@Kik230 And we belong to the largest family on earth, we all belong to Team Noraly...
The other competitors all seem to be rugged South African men.
And the only woman came in first on one of the longest rally stages.
Very good!
@Video Reviews Yet they can do 700km a day for a couple of days...you are clueless.
@Video Reviews So I am assuming that you know all of those men and what they do during the year ??!! What a ridiculous statement.
Those who haven’t been following Mlle. Itchy through changing tires in the wilds of South America, coping with bad fuel in one of the -stans in Asia, and picking Savannah up out of the mud may not be aware of what she’s done to work her way up to this race. I think the last time I was concerned was when she rode over a 14,000+ foot mountain pass. After that, if she announced a ride across the dark side of the Moon I’d just open a beer, sit back and say “Go, Itchy Boots.”
It seems Noraly has earned the respect from the rest of the competitors, and they seem to have taken her under their wing. I love how she went back to help another rider. I just want to give Noraly a huge hug and say how wonderful she is and we all are standing behind her.
Oh yeah, she is quickly earning a lot of respect. She is riding a 250cc bike and still got to the end of that section first! Very impressive!
✊😘
That was a really nice thing to do.
@@larsandersson4394 noraly rules!!!!
🤘😎🤘
I feel the same... But I never ride my bike more than 80 KM speed...
I love this young woman (I'm 74), but what a strong spirit. She is inspiring to the younger generation's. I know she wants a first place in this Rally so she can get a ticket for the Dakar Rally I just pray she can overcome all the obstacles in her way.
Her laughter and pleasant manner are wonderful. She has an enormous heart and kindness for others.
Let's not forget the thousands of miles Noraly has on her resume. She is a master rider well into planning fuel, speed, rest, surfaces and fatigue. It seems to me she is not the underdog here. She is riding a 250cc with a small petrol tank and she is quite easily ahead of the competition. R E S P E C T Noraly!!!
9 hours and 700 km,and some small stops in that terrain - now THAT IS IMPRESSIVE!! there is a major benefit in races like this- you grow as a rider so,so much..after a while you settle down and the body learns to react by itself on different surfaces,and conditions-and when you get in to the flow,the miles just passes..it is lovley! Extremley well done so far,girl! Keep it up!
Absolutely. “OJT” - on the job training. Her body will react without a conscience decision on her part. Probably good that she’s learning on the 250 cc. Would really like to see her in a 350 cc, 2 stroke, single cylinder in her next rally. And, have a sponsor!
Yeah, you'll never be the same after this experience, just watch the fear about sand sections in your past videos with your arms rock solid and absolute negative to give gas. It's all part of your past now, congratulations Noraly
my husband is a hobby-enduro-race-rider; he finished the erzberg-rodeo under the first 400, he was massive impressed by your second stage, in that time…ON SAND. 👍👍👍🤩🤩

@@tkc8873 STOCK Honda...
Not question Noraly is an amazing rider. My question is: How do you ride all day like this, get up at 4 AM the next day, and give us a cheerful "Good Morning Internet!" at 5:15?
This 60 year old grandma is loving this! Such respect to you Noraly. Safe travels ✌️
This 77 year old Great Granddad echoes your words.
And this 76 year old 🧓
@@peterbonnez and this 72 yearold que acaba de vender la última motocicleta de su vida
And me too,a 72 year old who loves to watch Noraly,and still loves life to the full and travel as much as possible
And this 67 years old grandpa is following Noraly since India.
At the same time set my bikes on hold in my Garage. Due to environmental pollution . With tons of tears in my eyes and heart. I think it is wise to show my 7 grandkids not to do what I did. Pollution just for fun by riding thousands of miles across the world. But still I am keen on each next video from Noraly.
How is it that the organization of the rally does not seem to be concerned about the poor management of the refueling? Bravo Noraly for your subjective shots, we think we're on your bike and we fully feel your competitiveness. These racing episodes are fascinating, well done.
yeah the rally organizers seem to be quite unprofessional buffons.
is it that they are just catering to the non-adventure class riders and leaving the A class high and dry?
Lol wouldn't be a race then if you didn't manage your own fuel and equipment. What you want them to do carry fuel for competitors? That's just strange you have to manage your own provisions food. Water. Etc if you get assistance you have to forfeit simple as otherwise its not fair on other race candidates
@@prince-xw3ip the organizers themselves said that they are/will be providing fuel with fuel truck. So it is not a request out of nowhere, that they honor what they planned and promised
Apparently, the rally director's intention was to check if you can handle difficult situations and find fuel in the field :D You passed this stage excellent and earned some extra points for helping others ;-)
@@FlixTraveler I hope so, we'll see.
The old cliche., “she isn’t riding fast - she’s flying low” comes to mind watching Noraly blast along those sandy tracks! Well done Noraly! Your skills are amazing !!! You and Savana are very much one! Bravo! 😁👍🏻💕👏
The flying dutch woman ?
@@troupier88 Yeah, I like that!
I’m sure that one of the best ways to learn how to ride on soft sand is to enter a rally like Noraly has done… compared to how careful she was in Namibia, now she’s absolutely bossing the sand! :)🏍
The guy that gave her sand riding tips in Oman must be really proud!
I think it is harder to ride slowly in sand, you need to keep your momentum and be very smooth with the bike.
Yes, and she also changed to the right type of tires.
@@jtamsett The trick with riding in sand and on loose surfaces is to let the bike "dance" to its own tune as it will find its own way. Rigidly holding on to the handlebars and trying to control the bike leads to disaster and a fall.
I sure hope they have a trophy for Noraly! Something like, "Rookie of he Year!" She's no rookie riding these roads but a rookie to the rally.
And, I know riders helpe one another but to have the only young lady in the rally, and a small bike to boot, take time away from racing to help another rider, just speaks of her magnanimity. She's a gem for sure! I know we're all enjoying watching her trials and triumphs. Wishing her the best!
I love your videos. I'm 75 and they remind me of my younger days when myself and a group of riders did rallies on the week end and I'd take one of my kids with. Your trips bring back wonderful memories. I thank you so much for your channel. God Bless you.
Over the years I have been all over the world on motorcycles. My fellow riders have always make fun of me because I rode the smallest bike in the group ( by choice ). Something to be said for smaller lighter bikes especially when you are plowing sand or have to pick the dang thing up. Keep up the good work! You have a lot of fans watching and cheering you on!
Have you any comments from your Dutch police motorcycle trainers, I’ll bet they are proud of your achievement
I was wondering the same thing!
Well done once again, it baffles me how someone can give a thumbs down 3 minutes after it is released, they obviously do not watch any of the video. A very big thumbs up from me.
Obviously, there are some people who live life standing on their head. 😃
I think the cause for the thumbs down can only be some kind of jealousy that the poor person has.
Those who give the down turn prolly have very small schmeckles and have no other way to vent ?
Truly baffling... maybe an ex 😂 just kidding but unbelievable..
Probably tree huggers...
Great example of altruism when the priority is "nobody gets left behind", and the position in which you finish becomes the least of your worries. Unfortunately I can only give you 1 "thumb up" when you deserve much more. Great show of character. Wishing you all the best. Greetings from Portugal.
I feel this race was manipulated in favour of those who knew where and how to get fuel so double props to you Nora in overcoming the fuel truck fiasco and riding like a woman possessed. My heart was in my mouth when you went through that thick sand at high speed. So proud of you.
This 76 year old lady from Australia is enjoying your videos so much. I just can’t wait for the next stage I admire your courage so much.
That Sri Lankan guy in the white truck back along, knew you'd pass it forward when he gave you fuel.
"I didn't want to stop for anything" apart from backtracking to help a fellow competitor. He summed it up when he said you were a star. BTW the footage around 17:10 onwards of the white sand and big painted sky all in wide angle was spectacular and did I mention the wild horses. Brilliant and she was the first to arrive after 9 hours of riding. Superstar.
Itchy Boots is #1, but she has an advantage over the test of the group. 860,000 fans cheering for her! Well done Noraly. Impressive how much you can get out of that little 25hp Honda! Just to show big bikes are not necessarily better.
Less is more eh? :0)
Different tools for different jobs, you don't need a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
Noraly's skill is her biggest advantage, a lot of those guys are jealous of her no doubt.
Actually its only 22,8 HP on those early models. But the bike is relatively lightweight, and she obviously have great tyres for the surface, and also she rides impresslively well too….
What a thrilling moment it was when the horses joined you in the ride. Oh watching you ride back to assist the other rider who ran out of fuel reminded me of the guy in Botswana with the white land cruiser that was so kind and went to get you fuel. Congratulations on making it first to the finish. You rock!!
She is no DOUBT a RIDER with a HEART...
Noraly- Geologist, traveller, film make and now desert racer! You are truly awesome. Also thanks to Mandy for supporting you.
I just reached the part where you drove back to help the guy who ran out of fuel & tears started rolling because even in race mode you are an angel...Well done Noraly, you are an absolute treasure! ❤️🏁❤️
Edit to add; You came in 1st even after having to backtrack twice once in search of fuel & the other to offer someone your extra fuel...AMAZING & Congratulations to you & Savannah! 🙌🏼
Beautifully shared! Thank you...
❤️❤️❤️
I stumbled upon your video, the day you posted it, as you began your journey in India. I've waited and watched all of them. You have ridden more in last three years than most of us will ride in a life time. You have taken us to places unknown. Shown us the good that exist in people. Left us on the edge of our seats many times. Thank You.
Talk about leaving the others in the dust ! The men with their mighty machines
didn't see this one coming . Tough competition in this years KALAHARI
The fuel truck didn't even see her coming!
@@NewSkiwi I'll second that!! 😀
I was blown away by the speed you have been riding in this Rally. Clearly it has been the result of all the skills you have picked up over the last few years. As an Adventure rider, I say RESPECT! Going back to help a friend you met on the way is similar to the mindset of the Comrades Marathon, also in South Africa. Love what you are doing.
Niet normaal wat jij laat zien Noraly.
Diep, diep, heel diep respect 💪🏽🤩👌🏽👍🏽 diepe buiging.
Dan nog iemand helpen die zonder benzine gevallen was en toch als eerste in bivak binnenkomen,
Wowwwww 🤩👌🏽👍🏽💪🏽
Turning around to backtrack and help another rider
with fuel is such a class act. Then top that off your
the first one to complete this leg of the rally. This
rally is awesome. Have a good snooze.
Stay safe Noraly.
Noraly you amaze me with your relaxed riding style in the sand, I rode Moto cross for years and I can confirm to anyone who has not ridden a dirt bike at speed in sand, that it is one of the hardest challenges you can do on two wheels, huge respect, what next the Dakar Rally?Good luck and Go Go Go
Yeap, I was a motocross rider too and totally agree, respect
yep, I remember starting out riding a yamaha yz 85 and the local track in my city was 50% DEEP sand, so difficult for a beginner, fell a lot but it was fun learning too.
Somehow I knew you'd do well in this rally with your 250cc. The bigger bikes just can't get through the sand like yours can. And not to forget, your trip around the southern parts of Africa was basically training for an event you didn't know you was going to enter until the last moment.......well done. Ride hard, ride safe!!!
Also, the small bike does not use as much fuel either. She can cover more distance for the same amount of fuel.
They now have the same frame with a 450. Honda should give her one.
You’re travels through vast empty places has taught you well, when getting low on fuel, slow down to make it to the next stop. As the rider at the fuel station said, “good riding”
Been riding in the dirt for 50(ish) years and still can't ride the sand as well as you!!! Think you crushed a lot of egos in that race and I couldn't be happier for you doing it. You're just amazing
Notwithstanding your competitive nature you have my utmost respect for going back with fuel for that dude who ran out. You handled the deep sand like a master.First to arrive back...doesn't surprise me. Certainly hope Noraly gets to 1million subscribers by the end of the rally
My feelings exactly
I have no words Noraly. To say you're an inspiration is putting it lightly. You're more than that to your followers. Your kind heart and adventurous spirit is something this world desperately needs and so many of us watching wish we had a little more of. To complete a 700 km stage (On a stock bike) way to go Honda. And still have time to edit and post video shows your loyal commitment to your channel and your followers. You're a ROCK STAR!
Noraly, you deserve the true LoyaalFans (not the crap you find on Loyalfans) ...
The world can stop or end. But I will always know somewhere. There is this amazing person called Noraly riding somewhere!
Now this channel gets more thrilling than all the Dakar reports of the last years. This girl is going crazy. After riding all the way from india back to europe, the long journey through america and all the other stuff.....you reached a new level of entertaing your viewers.....and i thank you so much for that. Your riding skills are amazing after all the years on and offroad. Love to watch this girl riding in race-mode.
It's not about taking first position. All about the experience and having fun while you at it. You are certainly the celebrity and the star of this rally. Without a doubt👌👍🏍
Noraly or "BOOTS" you have naild it, You ar absolutly a Legend "The Flying Dutch Women" . I,m a old Duchts moto cross, and Enduro ryder, ryde a lot in the sand -2 times Duchts beach race at Scheveningen - and I know how tricky and dificuld the sand is. Most of the people dont know that but sand is a totaly diferent pice of cake. Big respect for your improvements. You have it, Rally is in your blood now. You will do it more and more, belive this Old Man. And than that little standard out of the box honda 250 is that a great bike or what. Succes Dutchy Lady, you make us proud.
And so you should be, sir! Noraly is such a grand ambassador not only for the Dutch, but for humanity. 😊
@@NewSkiwi
Yep. I love to ride. I deeply respect and appreciate the behaviour of Noraly. Since her start in India.
But there is a growing blind dot in the described ambassador role! It is the co2 pollution . My bikes are on hold in my garage for that reason since 2 years now. With a lot of tears in my eyes and heart. But my brain telling mit it is wise and worth…
Everyone else: "All this dust must be those 5 riders ahead of us"🙄
The five riders: "All this dust must be a local bus in front of us"🤔
Itchy Boots: "What dust?"🤨
As Noraly tears it up on the track, the dust rises behind her to cheer her on...
Benefits to being first, besides the obvious, you ride alone with fewer obstacles, and you don't eat as much dust. Excellent job on the sand and on this planet. Grit, Fortitude, Compassion. Nice blend 🙂
You went back to give that guy fuel,,,,,bless you’re heart!
I just have this image of all the other riders pulling into the rendezvous on their big GS's and there's Noraly on her 250, feet up, sipping a beer and saying, "Hey boys. What took ya."
And the wild horses! Whoa!
So impressed Noraly to the rescue she is a marvel superhero on that little bike. Even with the rescue Noraly arrived first to the end checkpoint.
"You are a star!", the guy said. What else can we say?! Great job! Great video! Well done, Noraly! Keep on going! Warmest greetings from Rwanda 👋🏼🤟🏼
I saw some comments last video about Honda that I agree with... after this I think if Honda doesn’t sponsor Noraly they have no integrity.. little savana is pouring her heart out excellent ride today 💐💐💐
There' a bit of irony. You pull into the bivouac and the petrol truck pulls in behind you.
She's going too fast! LOL!🤣🤣🤣
Awesome, awesome, awesome, Go Noraly! Watching you ride like the wind with wild horses, one word came to mind, "Freedom!" You are as good or better than the "Boys" :) and at the end of the day still do a bit of editing and producing just to complete your day!
"A man rides from sun to sun but a woman's work is never done!" Let's Go! :)
I still say we need an "Itchy Boots" action figure doll with one model having a bobblehead to put on our dashboards or bikes to remind us not to give up when the going gets tough! Happy Trails and God Bless.
I did a small comparison between your time on Stage 2 and James Alexanders. He did it 7 hours 40 min in the rally and you said that the time you spent was short of 9 hours in the raid. A difference of a little over an hour! Then deduct the extra time for fuel handling/moving and you and Savannah did fantastic! No wonder you had problems with fuel, you outran the fueltruck......
I think this also shows that it is important to chose a bike that is the right size for the driver, not just go by power and cylinder volume.
Great filming!! I felt like I was on the bike with you, enjoying every bump and every mile. I have watched every episode
from season 4 to now. Almost go crazy waiting for your next episode.I'm 82 years old, but you make me feel like a young
man again. Thank you Noraly, you're the best.
I am only 80, but I feel the same way. I don't know if you saw my question to Noraly, but she is the only female in the race.
@@davidroberts5005 there's other female rider in Africa that I also watch, and I thought she'd participate in this event 😅 it'd be cool if she could collaborate with Noraly someday 🤔
@@Dimaz42 would you mind sharing those videos with me.
Forget about Netflix,- this is the real Deal ! Thinking every day while it rains in Germany : "I wonder where Noraly is right now and what will the next Episode bring ?" . Well done, fly with the horses Itchy Boots !
I wanna ride like Noraly
To the sea
Ride like Noraly, let my spirit carry me
I want to ride like Noraly
'Til I'm free
Noraly, you back tracted once looking for gas, you brought gas to a stranded rider, you rode with wild horses, surfed the sand and still came in first, WOW. Loving it. Keep going flying Dutch woman!
PS, I noticd the guys at the gas station were not forth coming about where the next gas fill up was. You took it in stride and arrived first.
They did not know.
This is what us in the biking community should work towards, helping others who are stuck and need help. Itchy Boots was helped in a previous episode by a guy in a van and now Karma has returned when IB helped that biker out. ⛽️ Love this ✊🏻🏍 ❤️
Your sand riding skills have reached pro level. What improvement! I am sure everyone is always happy to see you but no one was so glad to see you as the chap that was out of fuel. And you still managed to arrive first. What a legend!
Great character going back to take fuel. Total respect for your talent in too many areas to mention. Netflix and Prime could learn some things about real life TV. Simply the best... 🚴🚴🚴
Well done Noraly, 1st this time, it's time the organisers got their refuel points sorted, they have not been at their points so many times now, the stages are both long and difficult enough for you riders without them throwing a spanner in the works every day.
Are they just abandoning the fuel stops after the official racers pass through, leaving the adventure class racers to fend for themselves? Because it seems very disorganized if they didn’t even provide fuel for the official racers.
Fastest rider of the leg, and even with those long detours and taking fuel to another racer. Good show, Noraly!
i was almost in tears when you went back to help another rider with FUEL. You are awesome.
Those who worry about fuel are those who have ridden whole desserts on their own with no support ! Well done Noraly. Stay safe. x
That's really expert riding in some very tough conditions and for 9 hours too, during that time you went out of your way to find fuel and to bring fuel to a stranded rider and finished the stage first, the second place guy was 35 minutes behind you !!!
I think you've found your purpose in life now Noraly, I'm sure this won't be your last rally ! 👍
Outstanding riding skill in all road conditions and still finding the heart to help a rider who ran out of fuel. You are an Ambassador Extraordinary for world adventure riding! All the best!
The scene with the 3 horseswas impeccable, like racing with them. Go girl!!
Enjoyed today's stage with you Noraly! My 81 yr old Mom repeats herself often by saying about you "she's a tough woman!" Of course I agree with that!
All this time of watching your channel, I have been deceived! I had initially thought that your were a beautiful little Dutch girl who loves motorcycles. It turns out you're not even human! I have watched your shadow on this episode and have to ask: "How can any human being retain a cat crouch for 700 km through deeply rutted sand and gravel at 100km/hr.? " Answer: No human being can! Great disguise!! WOW, just WOW! (EX: Des Moines, IA to Indianapolis, IN is 767 km and takes 7 hours by car over the US Interstate Highway!!) Holy Crow...
Noraly, you & Savannah were just incredible! I cant comprehend riding so many hours at the pace that you did. The men of Southern Africa will never forget you. Safe riding to you all xo
Mastering the sand on a stock Honda 250 is truly impressive. Once again, grinning throughout the video! How cool to see the horses running parallel with you. It may not be a race,, but our Noraly is always in race mode. She is the first out and first to arrive. Your endurance is impressive and so it is with Savannah.
Good God, Noraly, you're just incredible! Another great video, and another glimpse into you sweet nature. 100kph on dirt!, stop scaring me. Amazing, Cheers from Canada's West Coast.
Noraly, i really appreciate your compassion for others, your competitiveness and your joy in "simple" pleasures. I mean, going back to help ether riders who ran out of petrol, laughing with riders at petrol stations, and riding with wild horses. Your riding skills have grown by leaps and bounds.
Don't worry about video quality while you are rallying, this footage adds extra flavour and we are excited anyway!
This can not get better. I'm 30 years younger when I get to go on your adventure. Thank you Noraly.
So proud of you Noraly! What a gesture of grace giving fuel to the others!
Noraly Seeing the comments and adjectives being used to describe you here as well as in all your episodes, I have to admit defeat- because I can’t find any more or better english words to describe you and how you have become a part of our life 💪. Keep going lady and you are the champion of all champions
Let's go! Where's the fuel? ...repeat three times! LOVE your grit and determination and attitude of having a super fun experience.
WOW! That red mist is enhanced with a "first to the bivouac" point. After crashing on the next to last lap going for the win, a 2-time winner of the Indianapolis 500 said, , "There comes a point its not about living or dying, but winning or losing. It's wreckers or checkers." Some would consider such an attitude as "red mist insanity". Perhaps. Stay safe Noraly... Stay bulletproof Savannah!
Well said ~ here's to ditching the wreckers!!
The obstacle sand/dirt riding course and physical exercise training helped you tackle this Rally with great FINESSE! Great accomplishment! What an adventure!! Good luck with the rest of the Rally! 😎🏍
Go girl😍
Don't leave anyone behind to help the riders and reach the first, how amazing you are, Anorali
Your sand riding skills are amazing!! Every time you hit deep sand I was thinking my bike would have spat me off enthusiastically but you just keep going! Thank you for taking us on this wonderful adventure with you.
What an add for Honda. Both Savannah and Noraly have no Fear. Stay stubborn and finish that race!! 👍👍🙋♂️
I've been waiting impatiently for 2 days, for this installment to be posted. Noraly, you are amazing! Your compassion for your fellow riders was clearly evident when you back tracked with petrol for a stranded competitor! Kudos and well done! A "good Samaritan"! 👍
At the beginning of the videos I find myself slightly grinning, following minutes it becomes a cheeky grin. A moment later it’s a full grown smile. Noraly’s videos are a great way to start the day!
I was looking forward to this up date on the race, love being able to remember my joys riding the dirt in Alabama in the 1980's.
@@brucemiller607 And now the countdown through the weekend starts. Damn!
I don't know you could ever read all these messages, but Noraly - I have so enjoyed your journey thru Africa! There are not enough words to thank you enough for sharing this adventure! Love you to the moon and back!! Blessings always to you!!
Noraly, it is exciting to see your competitive side. You are probably the most experienced rider on the rally, given the number of kilometers you’ve ridden on all types of terrain and at high altitudes over the last few years. Stage 2 is so impressive that you have definitely gained the respect of the other riders. Congratulations and ride fast!
All those years of riding in all kinds of terrain and weather is paying off and not having Savannah fully load really helps too. Great job Noraly and great videos.
