I'm not a motor cyclist but I can't stop watching Loraly's exploits around the world. She is amazing in her own right but taking us along on her RUclips video journey reveals the best of her. I am 80 and I feel like I am her phantom sidekick enjoying the world and her amazing personality. Many have said she should be recognized as a world ambassador and I agree. Thanks for being the delightful influence that you always seem to be. I'll be watching. Best wishes Loraly and "Let's go".

I’ve got a custom shock getting built and a spring with revalve kit for the forks. The suspension is silly on these 300s.

    As you make your way north, to Alaska, having lived there for 27 years I can highly recommend a publication called the "Milepost". I'm not sure if they have an electronic edition yet, and the hardcopy may be a bit large for your travels, but the nice thing about this book is that it has information about every "road" in Alaska, mile by mile. Things such as points of interest, fuel (as you've seen from your travels, fuel is not always available when and where you need it), lodging etc.. I am so envious of your adventures and am enjoying traveling along with you on your life journey.

They said if you're going to be working at a spot in the bush, find a stump about 50ft from where you'll be working and spray it all over with Deep Woods Off. The mosquitos and black-flies will all go to the stump and leave you alone. For actual insect repellant, they used "Muskol" or a home-made recipe made with bear grease and native herbs. Those ingredients are a little hard to find if you're just passing through.

With the recurrent surges in the coronavirus and its various strains, I was fearful that you would not be able to venture far from the Netherlands.

    You can't go wrong with a Honda in my opinion. Started out 50 years ago on a Honda CT70 then to a ST90. I've been riding the same Honda XL250R since 1984 that I bought new and it has over 20,000 kilometers on it. It's never once failed me or failed to go where I wanted to go. A couple years ago I added another Honda when I purchased a new XR650L and it's been amazing. Relatively light weight and powerful as far as I'm concerned. I use it for trail riding as well as longer distance trips. A trip to Alaska would be awesome so I hope you make it this time! I also think riding the TAT (Trans America Trail) would be awesome.
    The bike shop you purchased Alaska from has a huge inventory. In Oregon where I live the local Honda dealer is basically out of bikes and has no idea when they will get any. They are struggling with spare parts too due to supply chain problems. Man I hope this mess gets straightened out soon. I look forward to living vicariously through your videos! Keep up the great work.

      Have had Hondas since the early 80s. From CD, XR, MTX, VFR, CBR and VTS. The best there is! Tried other brands like Yamaha (better now than 20 years ago, perhaps even very good) and would not touch Euro or American bikes even if I got one free. Honda all the way and never in all my years been let down. After the NC750X DCT at the moment as it is perfect for my needs. Wouldn't mind Noraly's latest but the Rally is not sold in South Africa. She is a clever girl and I believe the 300L Rally is the best adventure bike a single rider could buy (public). Now for my 'Honda Wings" tattoo....

    I just discovered your channel. I kind of like your soul and the way you express your happiness and inner strength. What a wonderful person! You also motivated me to buy the same bike. I will watch your following videos to see how far that pretty Alaska could take you. I sincerely wish you the best of luck with everything else. Thank you so much for being simply what and who you are. You've just got a new subscriber.

    I just started following you. A guy that I play football with told me about you. I am in Canada and ride a Harley and a BMW, so I enjoy your adventures and appreciation for the differences in motorcycles. If you are near Vancouver let us viewers know, it would be nice to see you. until then, continue to ride safe and enjoy every turn of the wheel.

    Noraly, I'm 70yrs young and I turned to the X300 Versys from 750 & 1000cc Aprilia's in 2018. Haven't regretted it one bit. I'm having a ball touring with it. This summer with a friend I went to Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Colorado. Averaged 64 mpg. Never wanted more power, stayed away from interstates. Your going to love it. Looking so forward to seeing you again. God bless you. On the rear shock, try HyperPro, not that expensive. I got one for my X300, much improvement.

    Watched the first few seconds, you talking about how good Savannah was, and I think "Oh, she wouldn´t buy MY bike, would she? And you did!! I am very happy with my Rally and never had I more fun on a bike, I think it is perfect for you. Enough power, little weight, little fuel consumption, windshield and large tank. Honda quality might also help on a long trip.
    So next year, whenever I stop somewhere, I will hear: "Oh, is this the bike Itchy Boots rides?" It will be a good year with Season 6. All the best, Noraly!

      @@trevorjameson3213 I think onbest rides you can do is the canyonlands in to the Rocky Mountains and Ouray, through the middle of colorado and then coming out in western-colorado's Durango and Mesa Verde, in to the grand canyon. I've been wanting to run that for the longest time.

      As a Honda Africa Adventurer rider in state of Utah where I spend 70% off tarmac our off roads can be very technical or very long & rough.
      You can drive around the ring of Utah on all dirt for 2000 miles.
      Noraly, if you head towards Utah, I would live to help you out thru our state so you can see the beauty Utah can show you off road.

    One can purchase adjustable shocks--I would check to see if yours are adjustable. One can usually rotate the barrel to make the springs more extended, but the shocks themselves if adjustable will have a screw that modifies the damping.

    @pickoftheglitter 2 года назад +15

    Great bike, indeed! Powerful and light, good choice!
    Noraly, you certainly get tons of unwanted suggestions, so forgive me if I add a piece of advice, based on my experience.
    I have had a severe problem with the front suspensions of my Africa Twin; it's really easy to enter dust and sand inside and they suddenly start to loose fork oil that goes directly on your brakes; and of course it will happen in the worst place (at the end of the Patagonia, on a mountain road, in my case).
    So it's really important to cover that forks with some cross/rally "socks" (my Africa now wears the Fork Saver made by an Italian firm).
    Hope to be useful! Have a great and awesome trip!

    Hey Noraly, nice bike ! For suspension challenges (firmer/not higher) I can refer to Hyper-pro in Alphen aan den Rijn here in The Netherlands, these guys are magicians when it comes down to motorcycle suspension. If you have a problem they can fix it and they can fix it fast and you'll be astonished by the result ! Just give them a call.

    Yaaaay, welcome to the club! Very happy with mine - we did 6,500 miles of adventure travel this summer and the bike never skipped a beat. I went with the basic YSS rear shock which was easy to get, easy to fit and, is a good enough improvement for me and my luggage, without breaking the bank. Safe travels in Series 6!

    So delighted to hear: "Welcome back to the Channel". YES!! Back to S.A. Wonderful news. A minor correction, because motorcycles have personalities as reflected in Basanti, Dhanno, Ronin and Savannah, they are a "stable" not a nautical fleet. For a name,.. I was thinking, heading north toward the Aurora Borealis.. name choice "Aurora" seems perfect. But Ms. Alaska is lovely.

    • @michelparent8392
      @michelparent8392 2 года назад +2

      I too prefer Aurora to Alaska. Because of Noraly's destination, we will hear the word Alaska often enough and having a bike by the same name will become repetitious and confusing at times.
