Getting caught riding my motorcycle through a snowstorm in Colorado, USA. |S6-E111|

- In this episode, I'm riding to a small town in Colorado called 'Nederland'. Being from The Netherlands, I HAVE to visit this place of course! What I did not see coming, was that I had to ride through snow for the last 25 kilometers. And all of that in my summer gear! Oh dear...

"Let's see how the world looks like tomorrow." That is the attitude required to overcome any obstacle.
LMAO, you must be a goat. You could be dead tomorrow, present now.
Agree. I hope she brought some bear spray with her. 🤔
@@bps5891 she does not need it she rather have bear eat her chase or attack. She probably has food on her great way to give her away for grizzly bear.
Been There 🌨, Done that ☃️, … took me three days to ‘unthaw’
🤣⛄️🤣
easier to have this mindset when you have money to burn
Riding through a Colorado snowstorm in the same gear you rode through the Mexican deserts?...now THAT is what I call a hard woman! You never disappoint, Noraly!
A tip: If you must have to ride in chilly weather without proper winter-wear then wear your backpack on your chest. Because your chest is one of the most vulnerable area, where you can catch cold and your bag is not at all penetrable by chilly winds.
Other important areas to cover are nose, ear and throat. My father taught this and it helped me a lot.
Good tips, I rode like that when going longer distances on my snowmobile. Definitely effective, also wore warm floatation gear, don’t think the floatation gear is needed on a bike though 😂
@@yaya36yaya8 plus heatgrib doo alot
The backpack worn on the front absolutely works. Mittens rather than gloves too.
I was in a similar situation once in Wyoming, cold, soaking wet, and miles to go through snow. I stopped at a grocery store, took some of those one-use plastic bags from the meat department, bought a roll of electrical tape, and fashioned waterproof "mittens" over my gloves, wrapping the palms and wrists with the tape. The other customers looked at me like I was weird or something. Don't know why.
Hi, ik reageer normaal niet zo veel, maar moet dit toch even zeggen. Ik ben een vrouw van 57, en door jouw video's heb ik besloten om een moto te kopen. Niet één om rond de wereld te rijden (heb nog nooit op een moto gezeten, laat staan een gereden) Maar aangezien ik niet groot ben (1.60m) heb ik besloten voor een mini.... de Honda Monkey 125cc om te beginnen. Moet natuurlijk nog leren rijden eerst maar volgend jaar met de lente verken ik BE en NL zeker. Dus bedankt om mij de moed en dat " Itchy" gevoel te geven om dit te doen.

Hi, I don't normally comment that much, but I have to say this anyway. I am a 57 year old woman, and your videos made me decide to buy a motorcycle. Not one to ride around the world (never been on a bike, let alone ridden one) But as I'm not tall (1.60m) I decided for a mini...the Honda Monkey 125cc to start. Of course I still have to learn to drive first, but next spring I will definitely explore BE and NL. So thank you for giving me the courage and that "Itchy" feeling to do this.

Honda should be sponsoring Noraly if they aren’t already. This is an excellent advertisement for the reliability and capability of the 300 Rally.
But first a set of matching tires Honda!!!!!😅
And also its faults and shortcomings, despite which it still comes out as clear market leader.
Noraly would love that! ..... I'll let Honda know about her, yeah? .... on their social media site if we all do they will take notice and sponsor ..........
I'm blown away at this young ladies fortitude. Her riding skills. And her production skills.
Just so. From her very first video it has been fun to see her evolution in all those skills.
I love the way you keep a smile no matter what’s wrong !!! Nothing steals your joy !
For viewers wondering where exactly the wilderness rides are : At the 15:20 mark Noraly is riding out of Woodland Park CO into the Rampart Range and into what we affectionally call 'The Platte' along the South Platte river deep in the mountains of Pike National Forest. An incredibly beauitful and way out there place. Numerous forest service roads weave thru the area you really can get away from it all here. The fishing in the Platte is exceptional and the Rock Climbing is adventurous to say the least. Skipping across Interstate 70 Noraly gets on Hwy 72 the 'Peak to Peak Highway' up to Nederland a funkly old mining town now filling with rich hipsters and their million dollar homes. The old mountain folk are still here though and the hospitality with them. So glad you were able to route your trip thru Colorado ...theres no place like it !
Thanks for the info!!!
From a proud American, thank you Noraly for showing the world some of our beautiful places we have here in this country. Safe travels!
👍🇺🇸
Great comment, took the words right off my keyboard. 👍🏼
@@bradleyalexander5821😃👍
Mike that just a big rock with a view.
@@roadwarrior8560 Couldn’t help yourself huh ?
Wow Noraly, you are SUPER woman! Nothing stops you - not the heat, volcanic roads, thick sand, river or sea crossings, injuries, nor the freezing cold temperatures or snow. Your courage, determination and tenacity is truly remarkable. And, to top it all, you're always positive, bright, smiling or laughing through it all ... incredible!!! We can all take a leaf out of your book ....
The gals life is rife with good and positive choices. Quite remarkable.
LOL She's Emelia Earnhardt 2.0!
When I was, standing to, waiting to go to Iraq, in Colorado Springs, I rented a car and tried Pikes Peak. They closed it for snow; so, I didn’t get to the top. I’ll try again someday. Love what you’re doing, Noraly. Kentucky
This is hands down the best adventure channel on UA-cam! Thanks Noraly for another outstanding episode .
i enjoy this .. i used to ride .. living my older years through her ...
What a testimony to the build quality of Honda. Noraly literally puts her life on the line almost every day trusting that her bike will not break down and stand up to the punishing conditions. It takes whatever she throws at it and comes back for more. Ride safe Noraly!
i was thinking that about 50 episodes ago or so...this would be a great commercial for Honda. not that they need any help
Yeah, also thinking the same here. Anybody else from Europe woud have taken a (much too heavy) BMW GS1200. Honda should sponsor her completely.
Colorado is preparing you for Alaska temps. Wonderful series. Love seeing my beautiful country in a favorable light. Rare these days!! Thank you.
That hotel clerk when she said she was jealous of you, I could relate to the same feeling nearly all women have in your videos no matter which country or culture. I've seen that same reaction from other women in your videos from India, South Africa, South America, and now North America. That's what connects us all. Thanks for spreading hope.
We are all jealous!
@Voice & Guitar project Yes thanks for clarifying. I did not mean the other meaning that has a negative connotation.
You never disappoint us Noraly, I really appreciate your effort and dedication to make interesting videos for us
👍!
I was thinking the same thing. She really go all out to make videos for all of us. Thank you and love you Noraly.
@@ritmolatino1627 Who said they were free. LOL Did I miss something?
@@ritmolatino1627 So what!???
how do you get the drone back...after following the 5 mile dirt road
Lived in Colorado for 30 years of my life. The weather is unpredictable there, but the local rule is to "wait 5 minutes, it will change". It's taken many a hikers life. You set out in shorts and a t-shirt for a mountain hike on a blue sky day only to have a white out snow storm blow in. They sneak up on you in the mountains. The temperature can swing 50+ degrees and before you know it, the trails gone with a sheet of white and you are freezing. Anyway, the rule of thumb is to always dress in layers and tell someone where you went.
As a native of colorado I can can say that everything you just said is true 😆. If there is one bit of info I can give the visitors to Colorado that could save their lives, it is that you need to always carry water with you. If you are hiking always bring a good jacket with you and always leave room for a good pair of pants (not made out of cotton), and a pair of good socks in your backpack. Even if it is the middle of June or july, depending on how far up into the mountains you go, you could go from temperatures in the 80s to below zero in a matter of hours.
I've been caught in exactly that same way in the mountains. Lucky to have survived.
At least it was a valuable lesson and now I over-prepare and never regret it.
Sounds like where I am in Melbourne, Australia 😂
@@roseannegagliardi7546 LOL
As a US citizen, your recent videos have given me a reawakened appreciation for the land that I love…….as a California girl now living in the Pacific Northwest, I feel blessed beyond belief!
I recite a little prayer every morning, for our Fabulous Wandering Traveler, and Motorcycle Mama, Miss Noraly!
“May the gods protect you and Alaska, wherever you are, wherever you go, and wherever you end up….whether you meant to be there or not…we love and appreciate you, Amen”! 🙏🏽💖💛💖💛
Another epic adventure. Even when you have a "bad" time, you are cheery and make the best of your situation. That's why your fans all love you and your trips. Keep it up.😀
Well said, sir!!
There are no bad days
Adventure isn’t always comfortable!
The only way Noraly’s videos could be better is if they were each 2 hours long, which I would gladly sit through! Watching that riding in snow footage made ME feel cold! I’m sure that fireplace felt great after the journey!
Same!
Yeah longer videos
I'm against longer videos and you can watch all the episodes one after the other, it takes longer than two hours. But anyway, I don't have to decide, Ms. Schoenmaker decides and I like that...
2 words folks, Play List...
2 more words Binge Watch...
@@JamesAllmond what if you’ve already binge watched all her previous episodes ? 😜
The way you put together all those camera angles and drone shots is nothing short of amazing. Noraly, you are most definitely a master craftsman at what you do. I m totally addicted to getting up in the mornings and joining you for your rides!
The lady Inn keeper sure hit the nail on the spot. This channel is making people jealous. More of a inspiration for me to do what you are doing.
Every time I’m having a crummy day, I just watch an episode of Itchy Boots and bam! I’m in a better mood. This channel is therapeutic. Who new?
Norlay should send you an invoice for the therapy session. ;)
It's surely therapeutic! hahaha
@@davej3487 😂
Her videos take you on an emotional rollercoaster.
I absofrigginlootly agree!
"DO NOT SHOOT TREES" Yep, only in America!
This made me smile.
...with a bullet hole in the sign. 'Murica. Got to say, Colorado looks awesome.
The views that Noraly shows us of Pike's Peak beats everything I've seen in the races there.
As a guy who has been on hundreds of bikes in dozens of country's myself , you my dear, are really something special. Ride hard ride safe
I lived in Colorado for many years. One time I stopped at a red light in June, it was sunny except for one cloud rushing towards me. All of a sudden it darkened, wind blew hard and rain fell and turned to snow for a few seconds then back to rain. Then the wind stopped and the light turned green. True story.
I’m glad you’re enjoying the USA! We aren’t perfect of course, but have a lot to offer. Enjoying your videos! ☺️❤️
Oh girl.
one of the best episodes so for.
One of my dreams, doing pikes peak.
I can almost feel the cold, the way you filmed this.
EPIC
I am a fan for life
Noraly, without a doubt, you sure are my hero.
Noraly the snow woman, has a jolly happy soul, she rides those mountains rain or shine, even when it snows 👍
lol...cute!
Im from Denmark but i have been a lot in the US ( working with wind turbines), and i have to say Colorado is one of my favorite states, the area around colorado springs and Pikes Peak is so beautiful and different from Denmark where i live.
You hear a lot of negative stuff about the US in the media, but that is not my experiance with the US, almost all the people i met were very friendly and open, and the different senery state to state is amazing
I think if you stay away from the bigger cities back east you will find most Americans are very kind and generous people.
Mainstream media is all about the negative. When they have nothing bad to say, they'll make it up. The gov pays them to keep people scared and obedient, and will censor any truths.
Noraly exhibits Aloha ! And please note that it’s the midsized cities in the South and Midwest which are the most dangerous per capita
Now I want to visit Pike's Peak too because of that landmark about "America The Beautiful", it's one of my Dad's favorite songs... He loved to sing it when he was still around..He is in heaven now..... I must say the song touches my heart everytime I sing it!....Thank you so much Noraly! 👍
What a wonderful way to wake up here in Oregon... quiet, sunny but cool morning and another inspiring video from Noraly. What a beautiful ride, but ohh, that cold. You are a tough cookie! I can smell those pines. I can feel that cold on my fingers too. You make it seem so easy with your positive and cheery attitude. Can't wait for the next one and the next one... be safe and keep on loving every minute you have on this earth!! ❤❤❤
This is Colorado. There is always a chance of snow in the upper elevations, it really doesn't matter what month of the year. I am glad you showed the ride up Pikes Peak, it gives people around the world a look at what is one of our local treasures. Thanks for sharing. It will probably be warmer tomorrow.
It seems like the last time it snowed in Nederland was April 17, so four month lag in episodes/real time?
I believe that the trees you are calling birch trees are quaking aspens.
I've been on many motorcycle trips where it's freezing and your hands are frozen and it is NOT fun. Every mile goes by painfully slowly. Glad you made it through the day!
Thank You Very Much For Sharing 👍 🇯🇲
I can empathise with Noraly riding in the snow. I’ve don’t it only twice, first time was when I was aged 17 riding my Honda C90 with no wet weather clothing and in blizzard conditions to a school reunion, only to find it was cancelled due to the snow! 🥶 I’m still thawing out (I’m 71 now)
Don’t know how much of this you get to read Noraly but wanted to try to let you know that you inspire ppl to do more than just motorcycle journeys (though my wife and I do have motorcycles). Yesterday for instance we watched your videos posted last week and were inspired to go on a paddling adventure. Thanks for your infectiousness!
Yes, she's made me want to go on long road trips with my young son.
Today she inspired me to fish the lakes of Grand Mesa in Colorado. Flyrods loaded and leaving now. Monday morning is wonderful with a rod in hand....
She should ignore speed limits and overtaking restrictions.. the benefit of being European in the US is you must be doing something worthy of jail to be stopped, aside from warnings. Hot springs, and a little jetboil kit for coffee tea miso will all help in the high country! Tot ziens!
She gave you a heart so she definitely saw it. 👍
She has cost me thousands lols , after a while I just had to get another bike and some mosko moto and hit the road had one good 3500km trip so far , love it
What an adventure! You’re a trooper. The variety of scenery and events really set your videos apart from others. Us weekend warriors will never be able to match your variety and levels of adventure. You are quickly establishing yourself as the premier benchmark for adventure rider vloggers.
YEP SHE IS THE BEST... the rest are wannabe's !!!!!!!!!
I like the video were go past the trees 💖💖❤️👍
That's springtime in the Rockies. At elevation, the weather can be almost anything.
I love the town of Nederland, been there a few times, I am also from the Netherlands, but have lived in the US 50 years, enjoy your videos so much👍🌷
Hi Noraly. Im sure you already know this tip. I always ride with a couple of pairs of latex gloves in my tool roll. They have been priceless a couple of times when the weather changes. In India they saved me from frost bite as they not only keep your hands dry but also act as wind stoppers.... I just asked in a garage if I could buy a pair and they gave me a hand full ( no pun intended )
Stay safe and thank you for your videos and blogs and entertaining and inspiring.

مغامرة في جبال كولورادو الجميلة. انت مثال نورا للمراة التي تتحدى الصعاب. شكرا لك على مقاسمة رحلتك.
Another great story Noraly 👍🏼👊🏼💪🏼👌🏼🤩
Around 15m, the drone view with the music, watching you ride... Brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for bringing this adventure to our living rooms. God speed on the rest of your journey.
Noraly is definitely a trooper. I remember camping at Longs peak in Colorado in the summer and waking up to lots of snow. Best campfire bacon and eggs ever!
Noraly...I like the drama and the majestic views...Thank you, Geoff
Had the pleasure of living in Colorado years ago, was involved in mineral exploration and like Noraly, spent most of our time off-road. Beautiful state where much of the time you live and work well above sea level. The climate changes quickly, so it's good to see Noraly respecting it. Be safe N!
Since I started watching your channel I find myself giving you priority over all else. Bad for my schedule but good for my psyche. Addicted to you and your UA-cam channel.🙂
Yes...addicted to Noraly and her quest. Thats the feeling exactly...every morn first thing...I check her youtube channel.
I am getting a bit worried about the wsther from now on, She's still a long way from Akaska.
Same 😊
ME TOO! I love watching!
Noraly, you've become as fine a filmmaker as you have a rider and adventurer. I was SO excited to finally see you discovering America, and you have more than met expectations. Happy trails to you... until we meet again!
... the theme song from the old Roy Rogers Show!
Yea, the US has been pretty epic so far.
@@coldlakealta4043 "Happy trails to you, keep riding until then"
Ahhh spring in the Rockies! Sunshine one minute, and snow the next!
I once rode 500 miles through the mountains of British Columbia in driving rain and snow on my H.D. No wetsuit, just leathers. I know the feeling.
Now you know why us Colorado natives have the saying "if you don't like the weather, wait 10 minutes." You never know what you'll get in CO no matter what time of year!
I know you are NATIVE with that statement. Hello neighbor!
Aint that the truth!
Funny, that's what they say in Maryland too.
Same holds True for Utah.
Except Colorado gets over 300 days of sunshine a year.Native Coloradoan . I can smell the snow!.
Noraly, from a country below sea level to a land of the free and above the clouds. What a gal, what a journey. Thanks Noraly 🇿🇦🇿🇦👍
Fantastic what a ride! I have enjoyed it so much. Beautiful to ride.
Beautiful mountains and roads ❤
If you’re ever wondering if the ground is icy or just wet, look for spray coming off the tires…or tyres, which ever you prefer. If it’s ice you won’t see spray.
But if it's ice with water on top of it, you will see spray.
I've lived here since the 70's and have never lost appreciation of how beautiful it is
Another incredible journey thank you Noraly.
I'm not sure but the trees you've referred to as birch trees may be aspen trees. They both have the similar white bark. Aspens have small, two toned green leaves that shimmer in the breeze. It's pretty cool riding through an aspen grove when the wind is blowing. I'm so happy you're enjoying your riding through the Rockies!
I caught the same thing
I can understand her thinking because the same species (espenboom or ratelpopulier) in the Netherlands does not show such a white bark. Much more greyish.
This is true. There are no white birch trees in the Colorado Rockies. They are all Aspens
I can’t never could… just do it! That’s Noraly! She can overcome any problem, one way or another. Colorado definitely offers weather to suit almost anyone. Pikes Peak is definitely a great ride, the views are phenomenal! You ended the snowy day in great accommodations! Thanks for sharing another day in your adventure! Ride safe Noraly!
Noraly, if you're riding over a bridge in snowy or icy weather be very careful because bridges freeze faster than the ground due to the air flow under the bridge. You can hit a patch of ice or "black ice" which is not good on a bridge. Stay safe.
bridges freeze sooner and thaw slower too
@@Tonyx.yt. Yes very true.
@@vp4744 True
When you eventually get around to writing your memoirs it will be a veritable encyclopedia.
How I LOVE watching you. You are bringing me places I will never see. Thank you for that.
Noraly, my husband and I continue to be grateful beyond words for the joy you bring us. Thank you so, so much for taking us along on this journey.
Good mornings be safe
Goodness gracious me 😳. I'm glad you got through the snowstorm safely. You've got a lot of people praying for your safety 🙏.
Girl you have earned your bragging rights!!!!👍
So many negative comments! Lighten up people and anyone don’t like to see her enjoying her journey You Do It!
You could feel Noraly's suffering cold through the screen. Hopefully you get your winter gear soon to confront the North weather. Great vlog!
As a Canadian, I would advise having winter gear with you at all times here, especially at the higher elevations. Remember, our fall is like your winter back in The Netherlands.
We say in Western Canada that we have 10 months of winter and 2 months poor skating...
@@szolanek , no , or she would already have her winter gear.
@@szolanek According to the video shown she was in Colorado back in the Colorado SPRING when the aspens were coming out in leaf at mid elevation but aspens and all the other brush higher on the mountains was still WINTER DORMANT . Figuer that it was sometime in June .
For some reason Noraly feels compelled to now not reveal the date at time of any recordings in order to not destroy an illusion of immediacy ,or " expiry date " Nonsense . When folks are viewing them a year later or in other seasons it would be valuable for context to know those recording dates . It would be like reading an older newspaper with all the dates removed .
@@sjoerdbakker6040 she’s explained the reason is for her safety. She has had people trying to find her and leaving the dates of where she is up in the air makes it harder for people to track her route and intercept her.
@@siddithers5356 or 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter, construction season.
Just nothing like seeing this Country by motorcycle. BUT...You know what they say "When it rains you're wet and when it's hot you sweat!" Thanks for the ride along. Happy Trails!
4400 meters, wow. Brave little Honda. In the heights it has 44% less power, it's great how it still scurries up the mountains.
It's so much fun to experience the world through your eyes Noraly. You have an eye and sense of curiosity that just makes each episode, regardless of what happens, enthralling to watch and listen to.
The journey up Pike's Peak has me wishing I didn't pass it up when I was in Colorado. Perhaps another day.
One other thing I'll add... A friend said to me once, "I bet you would really like to ride with Itchy Boots." I thought about it for a minute and said "No, I don't want to ride with her. I want to ride like her. Alone, on my own, with my eye on the road ahead." For him riding is a social activity. For me it's not. And that's what I like about the Itchy Boots channel content.
But as she's riding through the US, I have to wonder, did she ride to South Dakota to take in the Sturgis experience???
Yes
I think she is well into Canada when the Sturgis gathering was taking place. The videos air several weeks after her passing through an area, I think. I'm guessing this video was in late May to mid-June, judging by the snow accumulation on Pikes Peak.
The two times I have ridden Colorado I couldn't ride Pikes Peak because of smoke, and storms. Oh well, there was plenty more to see.
Noraly is a little too late to stop in for the Sturgis Rally. I don't think it would be her cup of tea with 500,000 motorcycles and all the wild parties. lol
She may ride a couple weeks ahead of her videos but I don't it's much more than that.
I lived close to Nederland, Colorado (Georgetown) and yea, you can never count on the weather in the Rockies. A gorgeous morning would turn into a killer afternoon snow storm. Ride safe! Thanks for your great vids.
Possibly my favourite video of yours. From blue skies and amazing scenery, to an epic snow adventure. Woah!
Noraly thank you once again for being so brave and showing us the beautiful parts of America. You surely are a true biking adventurer and a I cant wait for the next episode. Stay warm and safe.
The edge of the mtn as Noraly was driving had me backing up on my seat. It was so cold "I am over it!", get warm and tostie by the fire and have a well deserved rest Noraly.
That place where you stayed must have looked like heaven after that cold ride. Interesting day of riding on and off road in this episode, thanks for sharing and continued safe travels.
Yea a nice warm wooden lodge. Perfect.
Glad you made it safely. Thank you again for taking us on your adventures.
Any day riding is a good day. Some days we end up with stories and unplanned experiences. But we have awesome stories to recall when things don't go as expected 🙂
I’ve watched all your videos. They are great! I can’t believe you actually stopped in a place I lived (Nederland) while a student at CU in Boulder decades ago. A 10,000 mile trip around the western US and Canada on a Triumph T100C after getting out of the Marine Corps led me to moving to the west. Been through several bikes since then and still riding.
Thank you for your service 🇺🇸
Just imagine in August, summer time, having a fire going in your hotel room in snowy Nederland 🥶 while Nederland currently is melting under a heatwave🌞...
Your channel is the one I look forward to watching on UA-cam. The places you go and how you get there are so inspiring. Thank you and please keep doing what you do, you are the best.
THANKYOU for sharing. I'll never get to see it in person. Health issues..uggghhhh. But you let me see it.. Thanks again! Safe travels..
I asked a guy who did a lot of motor bike trips .. two things he will bring with him .. he answered "patiente and positivity". You tick also both. Is amazing to see how positive are you when you got a beat by the snow. Safe travel!
I have rode in 14 countries on three continents. It's all about attitude and there are no good stories if nothing bad happens. Adversity will implant in your memory deeper than a uneventful day of good riding.
🇮🇹 Here I am, gents! Gooood afternoooooon, Noraly, Internet, sisters and brothers, let’s goooooo, as usual! 🇮🇹
You "embrace the suck" like a champion! Well done Noraly.
the more you ride, the more my jaw drops in amazement for your achievements. Thankyou so much for sharing your journey with us.
Sitting on my balcony on the 11th floor in Guatemala City looking at Volcán de Agua, Volcán de Fuego, and Volcán de Acatenango at the horizon during sunset watching your video.
The more I watch you the more I get convinced that if you can do your world trips alone on a bike we, a small family of three, can do our version of the same in Central America in a small Jimny.
You’re such an inspiration and the trips we have ahead of us will be our dream, our memories for life just as yours are for you. ❤️
Hey Noraly, loving every mile of your, and our adventure, a little trick I learned a long while ago in the UK is to travel with a couple of pairs of those free diesel gloves you get at petrol stations, they make excellent waterproof over gloves for sudden downpours!
You'll never forget Colorado Noraly, what a wonderful trip!!
This is amazing
This was likely early June. The flags in the last episode were likely Memorial Day. CO got hit with a late May/early June snow storm that dumped like 10 inches in Colorado Springs.
Yep. These videos are about 60'ish days behind her actual visit to the area(s)
Not quite correct she is posting this episode at the middle of August… giving the viewers the impression it is snowing in Colorado in the middle of the
She’s probably already in Alaska
@@jpcheco she says she delays her videos. She was in Canada in late june.
I was always curious about the delay in her videos. I assumed the same time frame, considering the foliage on the aspens.
I'm running out of words to describe just how amazing these videos are! So I will leave it at that...just amazing!
☮❤😎
We’ll be safe look I live in Tennessee thank you for letting me see I middle of are beautiful country so thank you .
there was a scam comment here, removed
The worst is when you go for a nice quiet hike in nature only to realize it’s near someone’s makeshift gun range for the next 2 hours. Fortunately there’s lots of alternatives.
Noraly, you are truly inspiring - and I never get tired of that laugh of yours.
From my experience in cold weather riding, albeit on a Goldwing, the most helpful accessory to have is heated grips. I think your alternator and battery could handle the power requirements. Fall riding in northern BC and Alaska would be much more enjoyable. You can always run with them off, but really nice back up for exposed hands. Perseverance personified, well done, Noraly.
heated grips are one of the best investment that can be done in any motorcycle that will be used for adventure / touring / long distance. As long as your hands are nimble / usable, you can keep going. but once your hands are frozen, the ride is over. or worse, a permanent injury, if you push too hard. So glad she was close to her goal when the snow started.
@@westcoastvagabond probably, but the great thing about heated grips is they are always there...just press the button.
I use handlebar muffs. In combination with heated grips or heated gloves a perfect solution.
@@westcoastvagabond not with her brush guards. I have been using them for years and my hands did get cold until I installed brush guards. Such a difference.
heated grips are nice but even hand deflectors. Cheap plastic hand guards.
Brought back so many happy memories visiting Pikes Peak. Well worth the visit but is really cold. What a journey you are on. Keep up the great work. 👏👏👍
Thank you for sharing, keep warm.
