And it’s a wrap! The official last video of season 6.. 🥹 You have now also caught up with me in real-time, because I am still waiting for Alaska to arrive! During season 6, I had built up the time between filming and releasing episodes substantially. That had several reasons and advantages. That way, I could reach Alaska in time before winter, didn’t have to stress with deadlines, I could make sure there was an episode ready every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, I had time to race the Baja Rally and spend extra time on editing those videos. It also allowed me to keep my real-time location hidden, for my own safety, because the internet is mostly a beautiful but sometimes also a bit of a scary place :)
But… shipping a motorcycle with sea freight is a time consuming hobby, so now all there is left to do is wait. Once my motorcycle arrives, I will start riding and filming and give myself a bit of a head start again so I can edit the first episodes before releasing them.
Fingers crossed I can start soon because I am super excited to hit the road again! ❤❤
I wish everybody a very happy 2023 and talk soon!!
Happy New Year! All the best Noraly!
Hope God be always with your Alaska and you be safe 👍🏽👍🏽😆
And advance happy New year 2023 😆
New year, new Itchy Boots adventures. I can’t wait! 😁
Can't wait for the next experience to begin. 🏆👊🏻👍🏻
Congrats on producing a great season for us all to enjoy. Your videography and story telling is amazing and I'm looking forward to your next adventure!
Thank you Noraly for trusting me to make your visit to Alaska successful on Alaska! Trusting 2 KTM guys to rebuild your little Honda in a backyard shop was an immense honor! You were stressing with a smile and your usual positive attitude, energy and lightheartedness! It’s a true pleasure to work with people like yourself that keeps me doing what I do in the Motorcycle world!
Good luck on your next adventures and keep in touch! Maybe we will see each other again someday, especially since we will be on the same continent next year! 😊
Oh the suspense! You guys are playing the same teaser game!
In 2023, I watched this season. Every videos on this. Didn't missed a second. Took me while but i'm gladly watched all of it. I'm sorry my english is not that much good, but i must say it was amazing. And i felt that movement when you got emotional at the end movie. I thank you for your courage, bravery and for showing that amazing world to us. I can't tell you enough how happy to watch them. So thank you Noraly. I promis i will see the other seasons as well.
These two videos about the tear down and build up of the machine are such gems on this top notch content channel, thanks again for giving us such great insights!
My guess is Australia for the next season.
As a expat in the US, i would like to see that trip.
Yes that's what I thought after yesterday's video. Because of the fuel tank and because she has been everywhere else
Guessed that too.
If it is Australia I hope she meets with Adam from Motology films!
@@santaclause007 Africa…?
A Big Bravo to the Mechanics. They know what they are doing. Not very many nlike them.
How wonderful and unusual the mechanics let Noraly help.
@@L--Z Right. But Noraly has to finesse the details. After all, Alaska is her baby!😎
Alaska is playing the piano again!🤗
I think they deserve a better ending in the video for all their work, the bike got finished and that's it. I understand Noraly is grateful but it would be nice to thank them in the video!
@@Kent. agreed- considering she does not fix or work on her bike
I just finished a epic 4 day trip on my Husqvarna and one really awesome encounter I had was I encountered a stranger at a gas station and he asked me if I watched Itchy Boots! I was ecstatic, it was so cool having something in common with a stranger like that.
I like how the new black and red-orange colors with the tinted windscreen make the bike look meaner and more stylish.
Just wanted to say thank you for showing the whole rebuild. Us gear-heads really appreciate it.
True!
Yes I agree this old gear head is very thankful for being able to see the whole rebuild. Thank you Noraly!
Exactly..and that begs the question..... Maybe she should have gone to mechanics school or similar? Although the geology knowledge does often improve and make unique her compilations.
On behalf of everybody watching and following Itchy Boots I like to say thank you to the two guys who worked on the bike and all the supporting people and supplies 👍👍👍 Thank you 👍
You’re welcome!
Love it when the mechanics pushed the start button and BINGO....A smooth cooperating grumble from Alaska!
I love all you are doing Norally. As an older rider,that has hit a wall physically, hip replacements, arthritis, I live through you! I enjoy all you do, you make me feel like I am still riding!
Thank you! We love your adventures and many of us, who can not ride anymore, we watch and dream through your adventures. Please, when your in a rough spot, know, thousands of new riders, thousands of veterans and any one between that gap, love you!
You are the strength when I know my legs couldn't do that ride! I and many others love and respect you! you are living our dreams we didn't we had , and we wish you well! Thank You!
Well said Chris. I also gave up bikes due to hips on the way out but I tried and bought a Honda Forza maxi scooter instead and loving it, the step through just makes it possible and once on that comfortable seat I'm away again hopefully for another decade 'til I'm 90. 🙂
Well said!
May ALLAH SWT REVIVE YOUR PHYSICAL SHORTCOMINGS AGAIN.. MAY HE BLESS YOU WITH NEW HEALTHY LIFE.. INSHALLAH.. KEEP PATIENCE... KEEP HUSTLING
Isn't it great that we can ride along through the countryside vicariously through her?
🇮🇹 Here WE are, folks! Gooood Afternoon, Noraly, Internet, sisters and brothers, let’s goooooo, as usual! 🇮🇹
Morning in California. 😊
I agree as Jackie Gleason would say and away we go
I love the way Itchy Boots travels globally but thinks locally.... Always using local resources, like private mechanics, or the photographers that is the daughter of the local moving company owner... and on and on... Not only does she support locals, but she builds rapport, and we get to see the best of everyone she touches, interacting as a team..... It matters not the continent or the language spoken... Truly incredible, in my view!
I have been watching some of the previous videos during this hiatus and just had a great laugh while watching a live stream from December 2019. Itchy Boots was answering a question about how fast does she rides and mentions that she doesn't ever expect to go blasting down a dirt road at 80 or 90 kph. Of course I flashed back (forward) to her spending a bit of time plucking out cactus thorns after crashing in her Baja Rally! To her credit she does state later in the video, " Well you never know whats going to happen"
She brightens my days and is an antidote to all the doom and gloom.
This season was my first experience with Noraly. I really like your positivity even when you're obviously having a hard time. Itchy Boots never becomes Bitchy Boots.
This is my First season also and I really appreciate her tenacity and attitude. Just awesome
@@jerryeinstandig7996 Nah man. I work at a tattoo parlor and men complain way more than women. Women can take the pain.
You have to check the Africa season. I've watched it twice.
Amazing work by both Bill and Darian for tearing down and rebuilding Alaska better and stronger for another 40,000 K. Also great job on beautifying Alaska Noraly, she is looking really spiffy.
Normally you inspire me to ride cleaner and harder to become a better rider. Motorcycles are my passion. Thx for letting us ride along!
As a person who has rebuilt several Bikes from the ground up, I truly can appreciate what I just watched. Alaska turned out amazing !!
She doesn't use patreons and when was the last time that one of her videos was interrupted to run an ad. Hmmm, can't remember one, ever. She has the most intensely blue eyes I've ever seen. Yep, she's a robot. No, actually she is one of the purest Adventurers on UA-cam and I hate to miss an episode, and I ride everyday. Discovery Channel has nothing like Noraly. Brilliant! See you soon.
I think I've watched more of your videos than I've watched any tv show. You got a good thing going here. Alaska looks great. Looking forward to your next adventure!
Myself as well! I have been completely hooked, I used to ride dirt bikes, mopeds etc when I was young. I started riding a moped when I was about 7 years old approximately my feet couldn't even touch the pedals my dad had to start it for me and off I went. This makes me want to get back into all of that. I even bought some of her merch. Absolutely love the videos better than a TV show for sure. 👍
You are more endearing than the crf300 rally, but i have to say, thanks for sharing your travels and tribulations on and off road!👍😎✌
February 2, 2023, saw your cool photo on Facebook. Cannot wait for Season 7.
IF I had to make a wild guess. I'd say your going to Australia. Happy New Year, and new adventures! =D
I am thinking same here😁😁😁😁so love this blue eye girl so full of life
That is my guess as well. Return to her geology roots.
In the past she said she has no desire to go back there again. My guess was Mongolia, but you could be right.
@@rjp3427 She mentioned Japan once as well but all of the northern hemisphere is wintertime. Actually I am gonna predict New Zealand first, then Australia. I remember she said she had no desire to return to Australia but she is allowed to change her mind :) :)
me too, it was my first tought!
"Say it ain't so; say it ain't so. We're entering 2023 without a M-W-F fix of Noraly?" Many, if not most of us, live vicariously thru you. Your weekly presentations provide each of us an escape into a remote region of the world few would dare to visit, much less a lone figure on a motorcycle. The upgrades to the bike are awesome. I hope they serve you well in your new adventure. Truly admirable how a lone figure traveling the world on a motorcycle can have such a profound influence on so many people.
you are an extraordinary person and a role model for all adventurers 🥰
You've been spotted ! Alaska looks great in his new graphics. Enjoy your stay.
Well, not only did you do it right, you did it your way! You not only did all of that, but by being involved it the rebuild, you now have a much better knowledge and understanding of how ALASKA is put together and how she works. Beautiful! Great to see you set off on another adventure and best of all!….you’re taking us along!!!
Take care, we’re anxious to explore with you.
The guys and you,did a great job putting Alaska back together.
I didn't realize how much I enjoyed your videos until you aren't on anymore. Your interactions with people and being at new locations my favorite. Down the dirt roads not so much since I live in a western state and get all that I want
Alaska’s new look is awesome and thanks for the scenery as always
Absolutely love her positivity ! When the situation hands her lemons, she makes lemonade. Others would complain but Itchy just takes it as it comes !
She looks awesome !! Noraly is so hands on!! So as 2022 comes to a close..what an eventful year this has been for Itchy Boots, hey? In the UA-cam world- you either have “it” or you don’t. The insanely successful Itchy Boots channel has proven she has “it”. She has a genuine and natural ease in front of the camera. She has an uncanny ability to engage and capture her audience with her super charismatic personality. She has become a master filmmaker and content producer. Thank you Noraly..keep following your dreams and let your big heart of gold guide you to your next destination. We will keep following you no matter what content you choose to produce. So remember folks to like and subscribe her videos…that is the best way to say “Thank You”. Let’s go Itchy Boots! See you in the next video! Cheers to you Noraly! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!❤❤🎉🎉
Well said , I totally agree 👍.
Can’t wait for the next adventure.. I have shown your videos to my granddaughters, 7 & 5 years old. Every time I see them they ask about where you are and if they can watch another video!! You are a true and positive ambassador of the motorcycling community!
So looking forward to your next adventure
Noraly you had one of the best rally teacher in california.
Just got the news from masen klein. First after the 2.stage in the big dakar rallye.
All the best for you in 2023 from switzerland.
Peter
I love the way you took care of that Honda ❗️
It will serve you well ❗️
You are looking so healthy - the break has obviously done you good. Can't wait for the next adventure to begin. Happy New year Noraly.
I have always appreciated and love who you are.
Those who prefer to be alone are intelligent, conscious about time, value time, good at planning their lives etc etc.
l too love to be alone. Great scientists like Edison and many others prefer to be alone.
I love your determination the moment I watched the first video ‘Kick Off’
Lots of love from all of us.
Ride safe and may you be a star of all the bikers out there.
Norally , Thank you for an incredible year of exploring and discovering all the world holds for us. You took us there and I hope you show us more. One trip around the world and you shift degrees a few, you will see another whole new world. We need you ! RIDE my Friend RIDE!
this year has been a turning point for me, Itchy boots "would bite a fly" and after years I was able to ride my own motorcycle 😍 You can't understate how great, the only inspiration *Noraly* has been😃 Thank you! ! !! You made the year memorable 😊
2023 is not believed to be good, but let's make it good👍
I agree.. Let's make it a good Year 23!🤠
I think the plan to have another petrol tank was the clue ,not many petrol stations out there.
@@johnhemming9721 por ahí donde es?
Sabes en que continente será la próxima temporada?
Yo sospecho de que pueda ser Australia, pero no estoy seguro, también podría ser chiná, Japón, etc.....
Saludos y feliz día 😊👋👋👋👋👋👍
Happy New Year Itchi Boots and ride safe for your new episode with Alaska. Cheers!
@@johnhemming9721 🦘🤔💭
The love the internet has for you Noraly is nothing short of Astonishing. you go girl
Its funny how people that have the most beautiful smiles have a lot of grief and hardship behind them. Great travels Lady.
Noraly when alaska idling the exhaust sound incredible... wow... 🥰
Those guys are really really experts on it. It's so good to watch them doing their job. Alaska is back again!
What a build! What a great group working on Alaska. I have enjoyed this season so much. I wish I had done something like this maybe 50 years or so ago. But I still ride, street and dirt. I bought a Himayalian this year and she will continue to explore my beloved Oregon, thinking about Noraly's further adventures! Can't wait!
Nice to see Mason win Dakar day 2 and move to the top of the leaderboard. I feel like I know him after your video.
Mason KLEIN 3° pour la première étape du DAKAR !!! Vous avez eu un professeur de navigation haut de gamme... A+
Wow. At first I was thinking it would be a lot cheaper to just sell Alaska and buy a new bike, but by being so involved in a complete rebuild with two dedicated and talented technicians, adding all the higher quality aftermarket parts, and a fantastic decaling job, you have made Alaska something special and far beyond what a new bike would be. Great job, and I look forward to your next adventures.
@@ralphgesler5110 Yes indeed. And I think she definitely has a sentimental attachment to that motorcycle that took her all away from almost Antarctica to the top of the western hemisphere.
Plus, this process would benefit in the event of the next break down, she will know the bike inside and out.
Noraly looks like a pro turning wrenches. The exhaust looks great and sounds really good. All the comfort changes are always worth it. Alaska’s make over and upgrades were a huge success. 👍🏻
Hopefully she also put collapsable rearview mirrors ...
@@francopieracci2113 DoubleTake?!?! Yes, Noraly’s mirrors are here for a good time not a longtime. 😂
@@francopieracci2113 ha ha! I was thinking that same thing when I saw her installing them. We should take bets on how long they'll last!
Thank you so much for your work. Watching your videos has inspired our young children to want to travel the world and not be afraid to try new things. They were so tickled when you traveled through areas that we have been to.
We will be taking a cross country trip with the kids in a few months. They want to document it just like you do. We will let you know and I'll have the kids comment to you the highlights. Thanks so much for continuing to inspire.
Lord help me! I'm having Itchy Boots withdrawals!!!!! I miss Ms Personality and her adventures!!! Hoping we get a restart soon!!!
Can't wait to see where you're off to next! My dream is to be able to freely travel like you! Thank you for sharing your journey!
Alaska looks like a brand new bike! I love the new look. You both deserve all the upgrades after all your miles of riding. I’m excited to see where your next adventure takes you! It’s winter in Minnesota so I spend alot of time watching you ride and living vicariously through your adventures. Thank you for all of the time and effort you put into your videos and thank you for sharing the adventures with us! 🎉
Great build. Wow that's a lot of broken parts. Blessings to have great friends that can build and fix things. Can't wait for the next journey. Stay strong and healthy. 🙏✌️
Glad you're coming back soon :)
Alaska is now re-built and looks fantastic with her new livery and parts . She,s “itching “ for her new adventure , can’t wait . Have a good rest and be good to see the new ride staring again .
Paul
Well Noraly, I think you have hit the "big time" once you start receiving parts with your youtube handle engraved on them you have made it. Love you and your content. I so look forward to any new adventures you will be on. Best Wishes for the New Year. "Go Itchy Boots"
I see your friend Mason Klein is doing great at the dakar! Woo hoo…the bike is looking great BTW….
A very brave person, thank you for many hours of entertainment and kindness, Happy new year. Why? "Because I like it"
I have watched a few other solo rider videos lately. I now know why I love your videos so much. You emphasis the ride and difficulties of the ride. We become aware of your stresses but mainly the ones you encountered riding. You also educate on the area you are riding through. Thanks for sharing and will patiently await the next season.
Alaska is even more beautiful than she was new! WOW! Ready to Rock and Roll!!
I am really, really looking forward to your adventures on the "NEXT" continent!
Best Wishes for the New Year! 💖💖🏍🤠
We cry after seen this episode . We love you Norali . Love You so much
The new bike build is sick!!!!
Well i'm pretty sure that you'll gona do the next trip to Australia, and maybe New Zealand as well. ( well in a way oceanic continent )
What an amazing rebuild from being gutted and completely refinished! Kudos to your mechanic team in Alaska! Your bike, Alaska, looks good as new, even better with the upgrades and enhancements. Alaska's new muffler is the bomb! Great to hear you feel comfortable and love the ride you're getting, but the slightly higher rise may take getting used to on rougher terrain, as you are such an able and skilled rider, that won't be an issue. I can't wait to see you continue your adventures, explorations, and discoveries by putting yourself through natural and inner character tests beyond even what you may expect. I am kept in suspense about where Alaska is being shipped to... what lucky continent is next? Will it be the Australian outback to continue your Baja rally experience? Asia? Africa? You've done the western hemisphere, so there's still lots of world left for you to conquer on Alaska! As usual, I wish you God's blessings, great luck, and godspeed Noraly Itchy Boots!
My experience has showed me that Hondas will run upside down you're filming is great thank you I am 77-year-old self ordained Choctaw Indian medicine man certainly appreciate you let me ride with you love it be safe
Just watching you around bikes, it's like your mind is in constant motion... always learning! As always, thanks for inviting us along.
Love the Itchy Boots sprocket 👍
So awesome that you were able to be in the shop and be an integral part of the rebuild. Loved the rebuild music, too. 😀 Alaska's first startup sounded like "Let's Go!" That deep orange and black combo is sa-weet! The tinted windscreen does give a touch of Batmobile. And, of COURSE, the shipping guy just happened to have a professional photographer as a daughter. 😁
So now I have a chance to backtrack to some of my favorites of your past adventures while you prepare for the next continent - yippee!
Wow, is this the same bike? Awesome. Fantastic job to the 3 of you!
Just been watching the Dakar and you must be so happy that your friend Mason is doing so well , he a having an awsome ride , go well 🇦🇺
Hi Noraly , being from Australia I'm a fan of Toby but it's like watching a friend now that you have introduced us to Mason . And may I say what so many others have said and that is that your travels are so inspiring and as a follower of yours if you do make Australia your next trip there is room in the bike garage and a spare room in the house if you need a few days off in Perth. It would be an honour to meet you ,
Kind regards
John
From Puerto Rico, USA. A little island 110 x 35 miles, in the Caribbean. God bless you in your new adventure.
Alaska is absolutely beautiful!! I know she will treat you as well as you treat her. Congratulations on the close of Season 6 and now....let the adventure begin anew!!! 🙂
Such a joy to follow the mechanics’ descriptions of the details!
Thanks for all your efforts to always give us the best views and highlights of your adventures. Looking forward to a new season 😉. Take care 💖
Hi Noraly Thank you for your wonderful videos, and positive energy. can't wait for next season.
Another continent ??.... Australia?? 😊 Your bike is looking great.
I’m wondering as well, but if it was Australia I thought she’d buy a new one down there??? But then thought it is winter here…. She’ll have to go down under to get any riding in…. She loves that bike.
Well, i was also thinking Australia. But i´m usually wrong with my guesses, so...
Alaska looks awesome. I’m guessing you are heading to Australia but I’d really love to see you travel through Mongolia!!
My guess would be Australia too. It's summer down there right now.
definitely Australia ^^.
Either Australia and/or New Zealand, or what?
Another for Australia
She told me Australia 🤣🤣🤣
I love this so much, especially having four Honda motorcycles myself! I have watched your journey all the way through Alaska and through your most current travels in Africa! Extremely inspiring!
Thank you for all your Videos, I thoroughly enjoyed your amazing journey. Also very nice up grade and maintenance on Alaska.
Looking forward to your next adventure. You are the best.
After selling my last bike 5 years ago, I'm ready to buy another this spring. This channel has finally done that to me.
I've had 3 Hondas in my life. Watching Itchy Boots has me looking for another. I can't wait to get back on two wheels again.
Looking forward to the next season.
Bought a Himalayan last year after 15 year hiatus. All Noraly's fault :-) Love it riding again.
Well thought out setup, proactive rebuild, and nicely planned photo op and shipping. I am betting Alaska will be AKA Australia in a few months!
What fun. Looking forward to all your new adventures.
Nice background at the airbnb.
By the way, love what you do.
It has all came to another bitter sweet end again, Noraly. You look very happy with yourself. It shows you are on top of things in Alaska and happy with Alaska your new old bike. Moreover, the success of riding through two continents. In addition, you just completed another milestone by participating in Alaska's rebuilding. Understanding mechanical systems enables a person to prevent unnecessary wear and damage. I can't wait to view your upcoming adventure. Cheers, Leon
Awesome season, Noraly! So glad you extended it to the Baja rally and the Alaska rebuild. I can't wait to see what's next. If it does turn out to be Australia, and there's anything you need a hand with in Victoria, hit me up.
OZ & NZ would be my guess as well. Especially this time of the year
I am waiting for you in Sunny Queensland, free board & lodging, and I speak Dutch and play Klaverjas.
Probably is Australia, either that or finish the trip she originally wanted to make in Africa. But that kine of meticulous cleaning normally only happens when you ship a bike to Australia.
Really enjoy you're videos and trips
I am excited to watch the next travel. The motorcycle turned out beautiful. Congratulations Girl, you deserve that. You are my inspiration !!!
I have really enjoyed listening and seeing her adventures.takes me back to my youth. Safe travels and best wishes
Thanks a ton bill and company for helping rebuild Alaska, you guys have worked tremendously hard not just for Noraly but for all her die hard fans who are eager to experience her next adventure.
I am looking forward to seeing your next adventures and how much Alaska has improved with her new upgrades. I am also glad to see you are becoming a mechanic.
Many Thanks Noraly for a very enjoyable 2022 season following you.
Looking forward to your new adventures in 2023. Your bike looks totally transformed, the upgrades are just what you needed for further adventures.
Honda’s….Bulletproof. I’d also say Aussie as well - best guess. Thats a L-o-n-g way by boat. Also, it means wee “Dutchie” will arrive there kinda towards the back end of Summer, so heat will be down a tad. I am totally jealous - to be able to ride the World, and especially off-road and in some far flung places, that just rocks. To quote an awesome Female Skier…
“When you feel equal parts terrified and excited, that’s the sauce” ( Angel Collinson )
Keep the sauce coming Noraly!
Cheers.
Ah, I was Hoping for a Great Tour of America as this Country has Many Treasures to Explore but anything Noraly Tackles will Always be a Joy to Watch and Enjoy...
I like Alaska in darker colours, Happy New Year to all of you, Noraly, Alaska, Internet, sisters&brothers, let's gooo!!!
What wonderful people to help you out like that - new an improved.
Happy New Year to you Noraly and all the Itchy Boots community, can’t wait for your next chapter, stay safe and keep yourself nice x
Alaska looks amazing! Great job on the upgrades!
Australia is my guess too. I really hope so. It’s my favorite country besides the USA. Alaska looks beautiful. WOW. It’s hard to think of the first time she’s dropped. Thanks for the great adventure Noraly. 🥰
First place I thought of when she made mention of gas (un)availability...
@@djmd808 is it harder to access gas in the wide open areas?
@@marioelburro1492 yes, you can sometimes go 500+ kilometres between gas stations
Hi Noraly, always wonderful and congratulations for completing the 6th season not without difficulties and inconveniences but brilliantly overcome thanks to your skills, your constancy, your common sense and even a small dose of luck (...which doesn't hurt never!!!!!!). Best wishes for a happy 2023 and thank you for the wonderful adventures you will give us.
What a beautiful picture of your newly refreshed bike!
