  • In this episode, I am riding to Kirindy forest, in Madagascar, together with my local guide Didier. I'm renting a KTM350 but riding here during the rainy season is very, very tricky. The water levels are about waist high, but since you can't see the bottom, it's a gamble. Every. Single. Time.

    Here I teach all my filming techniques including getting drone shots while riding!

      Noraly is incredible. That riding through the water had me puckered up, but she did it. In my younger years I did a lot and I mean a lot of dirt bike riding. That was pretty intense. Once I had to tow my nephew 10+ miles through serious rugged terrain after he drowned his Honda X-R 250. I also had the same bike to tow him with. Those old 250’s were tough. Can’t believe my clutch held up.

      @@turtle-frogs According to Science Direct there has been only a 29% loss of forest cover in the past 2 decades. According to another study done by American University it has lost around 50 percent of its forest cover since the beginning of human habitation. For Madagascar to lose that much is quite devastating because it didn't have a large amount of forest in the beginning, only. Wikipedia claims have been made of losing 80 to 90 percent of forest cover since human habitation, but it hasn't got any real evidence to back up that claim. William J. McConnell and Christian A. Kull wrote that the natives burnt the forests over a thousand years ago, but of course proving that is nearly impossible.

    I was so down, no inspiration for anything.
    Itchy Boots - Noraly gives me the inspiration to do stuff. I hate driving, and do not even own a motorcycle, but there is something about her strength and personality; the gorgeous places and songs…
    The challenge and adventure!!! Such a strong woman.
    Thank you dear Noraly!!!

It is like nothing I have seen anywhere. I recently watched a UA-cam video by Vox as they investigated a mysterious village that appeared in the maps deep in Madagascar. The village did not exist like 20 years ago. Their research led to an amazing discovery of how a family from another region of Madagascar discovered a fertile yet unclaimed volcanic crater. Settled inside and started farming. Thank you for sharing the adventures of Madagascar.

I spread the tales of this inspiring young lady and her amazing Motorcycle Adventures. Keep it going Norally I cant wait for the next muddy episode! 🤠

    Noraly was so excited, cruising at a steady high speed, screaming "ooh hoo hoo," and saying, "this is a beautiful track." Then all of a sudden, she lands in a muddy pond in the middle of the road, gets stuck, and her tone changes amidst a chuckle to: "this is really tricky." LOL 😆🤣🤣!

    Watching you ride with a local who is more experienced on these roads, I totally understand when people say its easier for a fast rider to ride slow, than it is for a slow rider to ride fast!
    Now I wont hesitate if anyone ever offers to ride with me who is experienced because Im a very new rider so alot slower than experienced riders, tbh its probably a good reminder for them to remember how they rode once upon a time.
    Dont be mistaken im not calling itchy boots slow, just the contrast because she could ride a while country in the time I would likely take to ride just some of the tracks shes been on :)
    I love watching her skills and confidence increase in every video and most importantly having fun while doing it!

      If she continues to go straight through the middle of "unknown depth" puddles, in her gambling approach, she will drown her bike, and be stuck in the mud...that is what will go wrong. and then she will need the help of others obviously...Best to avoid that and just go around the shallow edges, like everyone else does in the off roading world.....Seems odd that she doesn't know that yet....

At her destination, she proudly shows her soiled armour and her excitement to venture into the night jungle to see the animals there. How lucky we are to share in her adventurous journey. Thank you for taking us with you.

So amazing to be riding with Noraly through entire landscapes filled with them. Stunning. Also always wanted to see the unique Madagascan wildlife. Really enjoyed this episode.

    This is what is all about in exploring on a motorcycle, no need for a heavy machine which some riders believe bigger is better. It's just you, your motorcycle and nature which makes you focus of admiring the scenery, enjoy the wind, and where you take your bike on the trail, your mind clears itself of all the stress and troubles you have or know; when it's over, it is a "good tired and relaxing", thanks Noraly, I can just feel what you are riding through, good thing my computer doesn't splash mud and water at me, just funin.

    Way back in 1985, I had the privilege of working in Madagascar for a few months so it’s a real treat to watch your adventures there, Noraly. We were pretty busy taking care of a bunch of helicopters so I didn’t get to see as much as you are seeing but I got around a bit and saw some amazing things. I hope that you get to visit the limestone forest because that was one of the most amazing things that I have ever seen.
