    I think that we should also give a big thumbs up to Noraly's friend Mandy who is providing the necessary back up with the van carrying the gear as without it then it would not have been possible to take part.Thank you Mandy.

    I have to say, what Noraly is doing, in the Kalahari Desert, with her mighty little 250, is just astonishing.

      That's for sure! Savanna has the same kind of generosity as Noraly, and together, they make a great team!
      I lost the track several times just watching, and although it was labeled as less demanding as other days, I would certainly find it demanding trying to stay on the bike and find the track at the top of the dune. What a mess! Great riding by Noraly and the guys.

    However, according to my personal opinion, the Kalahari Rally adventure, is probably the most amusing/entertaining of all season/episodes, so far 👍👍!

I doubt very few if any of them would even attempt to travel around the world solo, without sponsers, riding buddies or crew. You are truely a cut above the rest in my mind.. My previous globe trekking YT moto trekker was Ed March and his lady friend from "CH 90 Adventures" whom for years trekked around the world on their Honda trail ch 90 motorbikes, at times in some very unseasonal & adverse conditions. You raised the bar a few notches for me with your great videography, positive attitude, easy going adventurous spirit and above all your people friendly disposition and respect shown towards the local folks you meet., something that surely inspires me as well as all your viewers. as a former Iron Butt who preferred and rode moto bikes as my main transportation all my life, having clocked 1.5 million miles in North America alone, you fullfill all my wildest dreams of riding solo around the rest of the world on a small efficient motorcycle. At 70, i am no longer physically adept to that personal challenge. Hope you make it back to Peru and finish your ride to Alaska. Cheers, kudos & thank you so much for sharing your wonderful trek, From a diehard moto friend and fan in Death Valley, California.

    Noraly, I am proud of you. If you think that this is disorganized, try the Dakar Rally. If you get into trouble and expect help there, you are wrong. You can go days without seeing another rider or vehicle if you get off track. Fuel points are never where they are supposed to be and good first aid, forget about it. If ever you decide to train for that rally, your first course of attack, should be in taking a desert survival course and mastering that course. after that, feel free to work on your riding skills. Noraly, I am very proud of you because you changed your paradigm, broke out of the comfort zone, though I don't think that you have ever had one and faced a new challenge and mastered that challenge. You continue to amaze and inspire. Live To Ride, Ride To Live!

    With all the whoopjng and laughing, we assume you were really having fun! Well, Noraly we had fun with you. You and your tool kit from Savanna, saved the day with the locked gate! I found you on RUclips, and have been following you for over 3 years now. I am so happy to have found you. I do enjoy every video you post and thank you for showing us the world. You are a beautiful Soul. I love your positive attitude and Cheery, Happy Disposition. You are a remarkable woman Noraly! I wish only good things for you, and hope all your dreams come true. I have been riding since age 11. My first bike was a new 1966 Honda Trail 90. I am now 67 years old, and 30 bikes later, ride a 2008 Harley-Davidson 1584 CC Dyna Glide Low Rider that I bought new 14 years ago. I live in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, and am your biggest fan. I will continue to enjoy your adventures ans Support You and your Channel. God Bless You Noraly! Stay Safe. 😎❤

  • @fulufhelocalvin3269
    @fulufhelocalvin3269 3 года назад +4

    Honestly at first I underestimated savanna going alongside big bike but with a big hearted rider like you norally. It outperform some. You also encourage me not to be afraid of a challenge

    We have a saying in Setswana, "O moleele jaaka tsela ya Kgalagadi." Meaning, as long as the Kalahari road.
    Wishing you luck on the 700 kays back to Mahikeng.

      I feel so dumb 🙈. Having called the area the Kgalagadi/ Kalahari all my life it never dawned on me that Kalahari is the mistransliteration of the word Kgalagadi "The big thirst" 🤭🤭🤭

    @David_S52 3 года назад +3

    Mad respect for you young lady! I read your “Red Mist” blog yesterday and had to chuckle when I read the part about not really competing, you just wanted the experience of doing it. Then once you started you just wanted to go, go go. Anyone that’s watched you videos knows your competitive nature. You compete within yourself when you’re alone. The only difference now is you can see some dust being kicked up in front and you want to pass it. Go kick it and go. Safe travels.

    Wow Wow Wow What a ride. BIG THUMBS UP 😍😍 I think this looked like the hardest thing you've done of all the rides. I just love your joie de vivre as I hear it in your voice and laugh as you tackle all the challenges. Keep it up, you're the best. You make everything possible and nothing stops you. I was getting tense in my seat just watching you and I continue to marvel at how Savanna just keeps going no matter how hard you push. It's like you and she are one. Bravo Noraly great episode. Safe riding

  • @robertsmith4466
    @robertsmith4466 2 года назад +1

    Some nice hedge trimming to find the best line. Tremendous fun in the dunes and the team spirit was great. Noraly and her little bike was a match for the boys with a big bike even having better tools when it came to a breakout. love the outtakes at the end.

  • @haggielady
    @haggielady 3 года назад +70

    I know your arms and legs hurt after this one. Dune riding isn't for amateurs, which you definitely are not. Keep riding and teach those big boys what you and Savannah can do!

    Great background music choices throughout the race footage--really makes it feel more suspenseful and exciting--and mixing it with the camera sound gives us the feeling of being there, too. And "this is why we came for the Kalahari": that's the spirit!

  • @EdwinAbalain
    @EdwinAbalain 3 года назад +22

    I lay in bed watching this on my laptop while my motorcycle is apart in my shop for custom work and paint. I think Noraly is inspiring me to get it done quicker. Maybe I should get to work after the video? Anyhow another thumbs up. I just love this woman. She really is an inspiration on so many levels.
