Noraly is so full of joy for what she is doing its totally infectious long may you carry on entertaining us with your fantastic videos .
totally agree with that!
A very special Lady. I've been following her since her Trip North to America from South America. I've been totally mesmerized by her personality and extraordinary sense of Adventure, her total lack of fear, and her very high Intelligence and ability to always find Angels everywhere when she is most in need. She attracts kindness and goodness in people because she brings the same to them. I'm a very faithful Fan.
I couldn't have put it better myself, nice post Hakulanni.
Thanks for posting this about our beloved Noraly...
Glad you enjoyed it
Itchy Boots is an excellent example of how one uses their passion to create an amazing adventure in life! Just do it.
Certainly agree with you there 👍
Oh wow! Noraly, what an inspiration she is. So brave, so charismatic. Love her!
Totally agree balibelle, let's add some more compliments she deserves:
Courageous, endearing, clever (speaks several languages) modest, very hard working & I would say an ambassador for overlanding . Top woman.
Thank you for commenting, Daz.
INTELLIGENT. I really enjoy her geography lessons. Thank you for recording and sharing!
Your welcome, it was a pleasure to have been there & seen her, a bonus to have recorded it.
I've been watching Norally since her early days and her reruns get me through my slow days. Enjoyed this video as it shows her personality. The struggles she had during covid-19 times to me was the best. I think what got me through it all was her "infectious" smile and laughter. The best cure. 👍👍🏍🏍🏍🙋♂️
there is something about overlanding & venturing into the relatively unknown. Even more so as a solo female explorer, but she breaks the myths about the world as you say with her ''infectious'' smile & laughter.
I also enjoy watching Lea Rieck 'Got2Go' .
Same here, I found her in season 1 before she left India, episode 7 I think, and I often go back to them. There is no doubt that the video's now have a higher quality but there is something I just love about the early videos.
When she was on the OCN video was the first time I found Noraly. How fortunate for her working with the OCN crew, the OCN crew for her help with their videos, and for me ... With all the countless hours of absolute joy watching her back to day 1. It's amazing how she seems to relate through her videos in such a way that it's as if she's actually talking directly to you. Such a personable, warm, and inspiring lady!
@@jaykb6587 definitely, feels like your there with her on the journey. 👍
Only her beatiful spirit outshines her dazzling smile! In a world that so focusses on the negative she is the proverbial little dutch girl who keeps her finger in the dike and shows us the amazing wonders of our world and the essential kindness of the human race.
Perfectly said Patrick 👍
I found Noraly in spring 2019 while researching a purchase of the Royal Enfield Himalayan. I have been a fan ever since. She is so inspiring and her videos are cinematic experiences.
Definitely 👍. Our go to explorer & Overlander 👏
Fantastic love watching her videos ,what a surprise great lady
Inspirational lovely person & so down to earth, no Ayres or Graces.
I love Itchy Boots Noraly's videos. Such an engaging, fun YT creator! I was so impressed to learn she speaks Spanish so well also! Truly an intelligent, adventurous lady!
Totally agree with your comments 👍
Happy to see and listen to Noraly. Thank you for this video. She is amazing.
I was stunned when they said she was up next!! Thinking she was touring in West Africa so was a very pleasant surprise 👌. I got to hear her again several times editing the video 🤣, can never get bored listening to her travelling exploits.
Thanks for commenting 🙂, Daz.
I really enjoyed this.
Thanks for the effort you took to put this together.
Happy Trails!
Thanks for that, it does take time to edit a video, I stayed up till 2 am waiting for it to process before post. I edited 2 videos, have you seen the other one? Thanks for commenting 👍
Love this woman
Noraly = Inspiration
How can someone appear so “normal” be so amazing doing what she does? Lovely, grounded person doing extraordinary things and really doesn’t recognize what she is actually achieving. Noraly, you are a one of! Thanks for letting us share your life. Where you go and what you produce is fantastic. Bless you.xx
Great comments Winston, couldn't agree more with you 👍
So you allowed us to get our weekend Itchy Boots video after all. Thanks for giving us a different aspect of Noraly. She is a good speaker, and it would have been a treat to be there. And profound advice to all. "I just go away.".
Pleased to have brought this to anyone that didn't get to the 1st talk. Yes I don't think she realises just how much of a great person she is. So down to earth, just like in her videos in real life, no ayres & graces.
Long may she travel & even one day do that little mini season tour in the UK 👍. Thank you for your comment, Daz.
@@DazmatronMotorcycleTrips You are very much welcome Daz. You seem equally like a great person yourself! I am from the US. I was in the Navy and once visited England. We pulled into I think Portsmouth. I got to visit London. I was on a ballistic missile submarine out of Holy Lock Scotland. The fish and chips from the U.K. are out of this world. 🙂
@@SteveBlau Yeah Portsmouth is the big naval base down there & wow 👏 such a commendable job you did working on a ballistic missile sub. I salute & pay tribute to all the armed forces both past & present that give us our freedom to live how we do today. I served 6 years as a medic, took me to some great places. Fish n' chips on the coast are tasty, I went for a fish n' chip ride out with BMW Motorrad a few weeks ago coincidentally! What bike do you ride Steve?
@@DazmatronMotorcycleTrips I haven't ridden in years. In the early 70s I had a 125 Honda Elsinore Enduro. I was in middle school and lived on the outskirts of Las Vegas Nevada. So, I rode in the desert. Mini bikes before motorcycles. I even raced motocross bicycles. I attended a handful of desert races. Mint 400, Barstow to Vegas, and some others. I like following Noraly because of my distant motorcycle riding and I am fascinated with the different cultures, languages, foods, environments and people around the world. I will never go to most of these countries, but I totally enjoy watching the videos and getting to appreciate God's wonderful creation. What bike do you ride? Have you ridden in other countries/continents?
@@DazmatronMotorcycleTrips I just read your description, so I see the bikes your ride. 🙂
Noraly is a Hero powered inspiration, round the world on a 300cc bike, smart, capable and bigger balls than 99.9% of litre plus Adventure riders! Noraly & Ed March have certainly brought some inspiration back to motorcycling.
She is awesome 👍
Thanks for sharing this. Very nice impression from the ABR and Noraly's presentation.
Your welcome Riwi, I've still got a bit more footage & the Bridgestone adventure trail, I'll see if I can mash another vid for you. Thank you for your kind comment, it was good to bring Noraly's speech to other people that didn't get to see her on the Friday morning.
I can't believe she was in the country ! Love her so much, reading the comments in her videos she's inspired everyone from young girls to elderly men. From people who always thought they couldn't or shouldn't do something to people that may be housebound for life who say they go on adventures through her.
She helped this woman too massively and still does.
Many thanks for posting this.
Thanks for your comment & your welcome 🙏
so nice to see noraly outside of her own videos thank you
I thought the same, in a different setting talking general 👍
She is an inspiration to any one how wishes they could travel like her I have seen more of the world through her videos . Her humour personality and smile keep you looking for the next vidio
Agree with that, the default channel for solo female overlanding with endearing characteristics.
Good on Noraly, keep going!
Thanks for the video. One of the most interesting and super people on UA-cam. Just comes across as a really interesting and "real" person. Her interactions with the people she meets in her travels is wonderful. Have watched all her seasons and episodes. Will continue to do so as long as she produces them.
Your welcome 🙏 You sound like a great supporter, understandably why 👍
Being an avid Noraly video watcher...and a dreamer of being a rider..her travels help fill a yearning to ride. I'm an American who was born and raised in Africa...and had a true adventurer father...we did many long distance treks. I would love to ride....next wiuld be to get a bike....learn the ropes....Turning dreams into reality is the next challenge!
That's awesome Sarah, you are more evidence of people being inspired by Noraly's expeditions. Coupled with your father being an adventurer you are on the way to beginning your very own adventures! 👊 Enjoy, Daz.
Noraley, is not just an awesome contributor but also an awesome woman and human. She is indeed Badass.
Here here Mike, spot on 👍
Thank you for posting. This really helped me since ItchyBoots did not post a video this week. I was starting to have withdrawal symptoms. :) Genuine and humble... And quite a statesman, as well. What's not to love about Noraly?
Lol pleased this vid brought you up to speed with her adventures Jude, definitely agree with your thought's on Noraly.
Thank you. Noraly does the amazing: she seems so real and yet, she is a global rock star. I found her comments about "being recognized every day" absolutely amazing. It speaks to how the world has gone to the "net" to do everything.
Thanks for your comment Richard. Yes I seen the other day mainstream tv is loosing viewers, unsurprisingly as we have lots of platforms to stream & watch what we want at any given time unlike tv. Big shout out for UA-cam, free to view.
What a great 22 mins and 47 secs I just spent - much appreciated, Noraly is The Star, of course, but I just subbed your channel in gratitude for the coverage of this amzing human being !!
Thanks Jonsey, honestly I can tell you I was sat there & was told Itchy Boots was up next!! 😲. Totally took back by it. I had my camera so just pressed record. She certainly is amazing 👏 .
Really appreciate you subbing in gratitude jonsey, obviously I have a little humble channel & just started out & learning whilst enjoying riding.
I hope there's a vid or two you might find interesting. So far my 'Cost of a Wales Trip seems popular. Thanks again 👍
@@DazmatronMotorcycleTrips I'll be sure to check it out !
@@jonsey156 appreciate you taking a look, thanks jonsey 👍
Great video I was there, but I really enjoyed watching the video. Thanks for asking the question.
Thanks so much for your kind comment. To be honest I enjoyed editing this vid as it was a pleasure to hear Noraly again talking about her adventures. Daz
Thanks for catching her on video. Kind of funny, I was in a Road rally on Vancouver Island British Columbia Canada this past weekend. Sitting in the pub saturday after riding with a couple of Irishmen and they told me Norally was going to be in the UK that weekend. Then your video showed up for me! Cheers
That's awesome co-incidence & just a nice way to end a days riding, fantastic.
When Noraly gives that full face grin you know you've hit the mark mate! Congrats!
Such is her charisma & character, she was laughing & enjoying herself being there it seemed. I'm not sure whether she has given talks or presentations before at least not on that scale.
This video was from the Friday morning on the smaller stage at 11am, a lot of people were still arriving & setting up there tents etc so missed it. The following day she was on the bigger stage, word had spread around the festival, consequently the marquee was packed & 3-4 deep around the side!
I'd say after the overwhelming reception she got from the crowd when she came on stage she seemed taken aback with the support (rightly so). Straight after that she was enthusiastic & comfortably giving her talk & answering questions at the end & having a good laugh at things.
The whole experience was great as it gave us all to see Noraly in a different setting and again she just came across being just a wonderful person we know & love from her channel.
Thanks for recording and posting this, I was disappointed for a couple hours when her Sunday video didn't show up... I've followed and carefully pin pointed her locations on Google Earth since she was in India, what an incredible geography lesson/education...
Hi Mark, pleased the video explained a bit about her next video not appearing. It was surreal seeing her pop up on stage & yes along with her knowledge a great geography lesson.
They say you shouldn't meet your heroes but she didn't disappoint at all, she was just like she is in her video's.
We watch her as a family have done for years and years. As I always say if we are watching her then she is ok as she had to edit the clip and upload it. It’s reassuring. I’m three T-shirts in and seen more of the world with Noraley and it always comes across there is always someone to help you and the world is full of good people will to drop anything to help others. I actually thought the drone tracked her on the bike but she flys it.😂 She does better than people with a team behind them. Looking a you Ewan and Charlie when the footage is edited so poorly you just feel your missing so much like “long way up” Noraley is a credit to how professional she has became. Never met her but we consider her our Dutch girl 😉👍
Completely agree with u there 💯
Noraly's journey through Africa has shown some of the best of humanity... being given bread and invited to tea in very modest homes in Madagascar, accompanied through the desert, ferried across rivers with a 'can do' attitude. This is an amazing view of people living close to the earth, as they have for centuries, on a very diverse continent. Her talk while riding through the diamond mining area of Sierra Leone this last week was very informative...I'm sure she is well versed on geology and mining in many parts of the world.
I would like to see her meet up with Nick Zentner, the geology prof at Central Washington Univ, and travel along the Columbia River Gorge
Yes she's clearly very intelligent with a great personality & prepared to research stuff before she heads out. Literally a one woman band, amazing 👏 👏
Thanks for sharing Daz, very much appreciated.
As ever, thanks Chris, hope you are well & with bike now. As I left the ABR I got a puncture 😖
Way to go everyone always enjoy seeing noraly🎉
Totally agree, this time for me though, in person! Wow.
I've been watching Noraly for quite a few years now. Amazing.
lets keep our fingers crossed she keeps going for a few more seasons & brings this fantastic content to our screens.
Wow, great video. ITCHY BOOTS is a diamond, thanks for bringing her to us, top bloke...
Arh thanks mate, I really appreciate that, glad to fill in the gap that many people wondered why Noraly hadn't posted a week later & thought something might have happened to her.
I have been following her adventures for a couple of years now, I'm not a Motorbike rider these days but she is certainly fearless and its compulsive viewing in my house, she hits the spots no others can reach !!. I did have a motorbike once, I expect its still buried in the side of that bus somewhere !! 😢
Oh dear that sounds like a painful hit into the side of a bus! Hope you have made a full recovery. At least it's less dangerous for you watching Noraly!
Noraly has ridden to and in the UK a few times from Holland between seasons delivering her Bikes for shipping, I've always wondered if she'll do a season here and what a lovely answer she gave. TBH she could make it a 'holiday' season from the almost torturous journeys she's made through each early season and plan a route at the best time of year April / May she'd love it and how she'd make it a challenge would be interesting.
Interesting idea there. Sounds cool, come to the UK & ride for a holiday tour, I guess she'd be happy to have a break from editing 😀
lucky you. she is a lovely person.
I felt privileged, a very lucky man!
Phenomenal Woman. Deserves so much more.
I predict even bigger things will await Noraly 👍
Looking forward to your next episode with Noraly and an explanation how she traveled from west Africa to UK so quickly and what's happening with her bike issues.
Noraly's recent videos show whats happened to the bike 'Alaska' with the burnt clutch plates. Great to see her back on the road again. It would seem she flew to the UK whilst awaiting parts for her bike. 👍
Great video been following her for a few years now. I am deeply impressed with the videos she puts together. Keep up with the great work Noraly.
Thanks, yes long may she continue producing such great content 👍
Verry nice, that Itchy Boots had a presentation in England. Greetings Frits Janssen from the Netherlands 😊
Greetings Frits Janssen, I just rode through the Netherlands a couple of weeks ago to get to the 600 km Romatiche Gaden route.
Noraly : ItchyBoots " women of the year . It is a pity that Honda didn't grab her Bike and get it repaired for her . Just a small thank you from Honda for all of the epic support Noraly gives Honda .
You want to see what a girl , lady , woman looks like in todays world .. She is right` in front of you and goes by1 the name "" ITCHYBOOTS "" . safe travels ..aussiebob .🌹🌹💛💛💛🏍🏍🏍🏍
I mean this in a nice way but if Honda got her back on the road straight away I wouldn't have met one of my heroes at this years ABR festival lol.
But yes, now I've met her, I agree, Honda! Give the planets No1 overlanding inspiration some support.
bless you, you were very respectful towards Noraly the whole time and she is a class act. It was a great room pleasing response to your question - very quick thinking!
Thank you, the respect for someone that is so inspirational & admirable in this world came naturally, definitely a class act. Yes the room seemed to appreciate the question & a great answer from Noraly.
Thanks' for commenting, Daz.
Noraly is certainly a one woman expeditionary force,taking us to places most of us didn't know existed, and with her geographic background, also learn something about our planet and the people on it. One thing I've learned is that people of the 'western' world are you less freindly and hospitable than their counterparts. Or is it really Noraly's georgeous smile, infective laughter and blue eyes 🤔. If she were british, she would be up for promotion to Dame Noraly 😉. Thanks to you too Daz for bringing this video and to the ABR powers to be for this delightfuf surprise, even tho' I had to watch it from Germany. This ITCHIBOOTS dose came just in time 😓😂🤣
Thanks for commenting here 👍. Yes I agree, if there was a draft or pilot for a TV series with the idea of a solo female traveller prepared to travel the world into remote places & survive, there you would have Noraly. Except she'd film, present & star in, edit, prepare equipment, manage logistics, routes & embassy visa's etc etc etc & still have a smile on her face at the end of the day!
I'd sign the petition to get Noraly a Damehood but thats the dilemma, more fame more recognition.
A few people have commented about this, let's just hope there's more places in the world for her to explore.
Thanks fof your comments, pleased the vid helped.
By the way I just rode to Bavaria & rode the 600km Romantiche Strasse , just posted 4 short vids, check those out if you'd like to. Cheers, Daz 👍
What an absolutely charming person she is! Thank you for putting this up.
Thanks Willar, my pleasure, sorry there have understandably been so many comments, I'm still working my way through them lol
Given all the positive attention Noraley gives to Honda why don't they grab a golden opportunity for promotion and help the girl out? I have a Rally due in no small part to the inspirational videos Noraley produces, shame on Honda.
Absolutely agree with that & wondered why not too?
She gets kit from Revit obviously but regarding the bike there seems little support. There might be something in her being attached to that particular bike & saying she did that tour on that particular bike.
So I'm guessing even if Honda sent in a replacement bike it would've the same meaning at the end of a trip.
There is something in saying 'Alaska' was the bike that conquered the Americas. Thanks for commenting, ride safe on your rally & have fun 👍 Daz
@@DazmatronMotorcycleTrips Could you have a more upbeat and positive brand ambassador promoting your product, even in the short term, she has shown what can be achieved with a motorcycle from the more cost effective end of the market
If there are any Honda (UK/worldwide) management people watching this video or, more importantly her UA-cam channel why don’t you make Honda marketing aware of what she’s done and continues to do for the brand?
COME ON HONDA - WAKE UP…..”YOU MEET THE NICEST PEOPLE ON A HONDA” AND NORALY IS PROBABLY THE NICEST! From Cambridge UK 🇬🇧
The big IF is whether Noraly want a brand endorsement or if she preferes to be a “free bird”.
Noraly has has said she doesn’t want a bike sponsor atm. She’s wants to be able to ride what ever bike she wants at the time … she started on royal enfields … can’t remember her bike she had in Holland.. also rode a different brand in the Baja ralley. Maybe she will down the track. Who knows
❤HAPPY BIRTHDAY NORALY❤
👍
Sie ist für mich eine Inspiration, großartig,amazing ,die großartigste Weltreisende. Ich wünsche ihr ewiges Glück 🍀 und weiterhin so viel Freude. 🫶
Definitely agree with your comments Heidi, if only a lot more people were like her 👍
Aha! Now we know where she’s been. What a surprise! Thanks for the video. She seems like a fun person. Great that she shares her knowledge and really nice to see that she enjoys travelling and editing that much. Really hope her fame doesn’t get in the way too much.
Hi, I can definitely report she is as she appears in her video's & don't think she would be stargazing at all.
Lovely , charming, inspirational, just a good soul & very conscious of providing great content on her travelling exploits.
Gez, I just watched her in Sierra Leone. Had no idea she was in the UK. What a bonus! She is a awesome person and that shows through in her interactions. Her status as an inspiration is well deserved.
Totally agree with that 👍
Thanks for making the effort to film and edit her presentation. I was there but glad to listen to her again. Lots of insights.
I appreciate your kind comments vizeomedia, although not on the same level as Noraly it does take a bit of time to edit so thanks for that. Yes I too enjoyed listening to her again during editing! Such a great lady.
Thank you for sharing itchy boots presentation at the UK ABR festival. Great treat to hear / see her in a different setting.
I Adore Noraly.... I have watched every video that she has made.... When I was playing catch up I was watching 10 a day... She is Incredible in every way.... Thanks for sharing, I am so sad I couldn`t get to see her.... :-))
You sound like a 'superfan' Shirley lol, good on ya. My pleasure to have posted this vid, I'm still catching up on replying to all the messages as there were understandably that many!
@@DazmatronMotorcycleTrips She is just such an inspiration to everyone Man or Woman... And her laugh is just a delight.... Thank you for sharing your video... It was wonderful... Ride safe.... And don`t forget your waterproofs.... :-))
@@shirleyboy8859 thanks Shirley, 🤣 I'm going to mention you next time I hit a rain cloud, I'll dig my waterproofs out & say Hi Shirley, I've not forgotten my waterproofs this time 🤣👍
@@DazmatronMotorcycleTrips Stay away from the Rainbows on the road..... (Oil/Petrol)....I am SOOO Jealous that you got to meet her.... :-))
@@shirleyboy8859 Good tip, stay away from those shiny bits, that loose gravel is nasty stuff too!
I was watching the presentation live, thought she was excellent 👌
Can I ask, did you know prior to her coming on stage on that Fri morning, Noraly was the special unannounced guest speaker? Took me totally by surprise but what a treat!
@@DazmatronMotorcycleTrips Nope, didn't have a clue. I watched her 3 presentations and she was excellent in them all. My favorite was her session with Ryan Fortnine
Very good presentation. You have a lot of wonderful fans.🤗
Yes nice to see Noraly talking in a different setting 😀
I've been following Itch Boots for 3 years. She is so real. What you see here is what you see on her channel. In my opinion, she is the best in the class. Love her show.
💯 👍
Yay we found her! Thank you for posting this video! All the best to you in your travels!
Arh glad you appreciated it. Thank you, Daz 👍
Good timing! I just watched the latest video from Noraly. This is an unexpected pleasure! Thanks! I had to add, she is a badass. Through all her encounters she always makes out with a smile, ready to take on the next adventure.
Pleased u enjoyed the video Rob, yes it came as a surprise to me when she walked out on the stage!! Had yo pick my jaw up off the floor 🤣
Thanks for posting! It's fun to see another side and to hear some of the background.... Nicely done :-).
Totally agree Tony. Again she was just so endearing. Initially she told us about the UA-cam videos posted about her secret film crew & even secret life. So keen to dismiss the myth, she shown us the videos she made operating the drone & all her GoPro kit & cameras. Bless her. Great speaker too, down to earth just like she is in her videos.
Its her courage, her honesty, and the scope and capacity of her mind. Competent, humble, and strong. And damn tough.
Definitely agree with that. Before she became 'Itchy Boots' Noraly travelled a lot with her work as a Geologist. She discovered her love for motorcycling in India as it's the most used transport to get about.
A passion grew & fortunetly for all of us, the transition to producing amazing content on UA-cam in only a way she could. Just a perfect unique story.
That was awesome video, thanks.
Thank you for your kind comment, I just happened to be in the right place at the right time.! And of course Itchy is the star!
Super images. steady shots, glad you got her story very well! I'm a yearslong follower, so I thought I knew her, but there appears to be a lot more to Noraly, thanks mate!
Arh thanks Edwin, thanks for your kind comments. Yes I think the stage setting gave another angle on her work.
I tuned in to see some videos of the Festival and listen to #Noraly #Itchyboots. Many younger people I've talked to have watched many #Itchyboots episodes. A few that I know are on an adventure n Mexico or South America, or the Philipinnes riding motorcycles, alone or with friends. Inspired by #Itchyboots
Nice comment & evidence of the inspiration Noraly is creating not only what could be perceived as a more senior hobby but for younger riders actively out there riding the routes. Fantastic.
Curses! The only year I've not been to the ABR Festival and Itchy Boots is there! Great to see her there and by the looks of it the meet and greet where I was with the TRF in 2022.
That's a shame, at least you got to watch the talk on the video 👍
Great to see Norally.
She is good natured, determined and bloody good rider.
Love her series
Totally agree with that 💯
My number one favourite person can't get enough of itchy boots
Agree with you, especially currently with her bike issues & having to pay off the corrupt local police, very challenging.
@@DazmatronMotorcycleTrips yeah that is a bit scary
It may take Noraley some time to get round to visiting our little island, especially when there are so many exciting. wild and wooly dirt tracks around the world for her to still explore. We've not got many of those left here. Probably the best ones remaining around the UK are the old drover routes like those here in Somerset I've done some in a Landy and know they'd be awesome on a bike. The scenery may make up for the lack of off roading.
Interesting...yes I think there are a lot of places she could ride & enjoy for sure off the main routes 👍
Thank you. It was great to see her. I was getting withdrawal symptoms, as she has not posted a video since last week due to traveling to the festival.
Glad the vid helped, just so you know her bike needs some serious engine repairs which takes time for parts to arrive.
Rather than twiddling her thumbs waiting for it to be fixed she flew to England for the massive Glastonbury of Adventure Bike Riding show!
Dear Noraly, have a great birthday party wherever you are! With nice people and youre friends, as you have shown us in Georgia, 4 years ago (S. 1, Eps. 102, 15:40).
Congratulations and stay happy and healthy, especially in your travels! Groeten uit Duitsland
Lovely message 👍
Thanks for sharing. Nice festival.
Glad you enjoyed it
I am from NL and to be honest....I really think I would enjoy Noraly's views on the various landscapes in the UK so....Itchy Boots....we're all waiting patiently for it now...😅
Nice to know you are curious too hear Noraly's views, as she said she would tour the UK but ''would save the best until last''. I said to her at the meet & greet after her talk that could be another 20-30 years!
In fairness to her she said she didn't like to plan too far ahead. Thank you for your comments, Daz.
Well done Daz. Thanks for video.
Thank you, was a pleasure to edit!
Well done on your video, really enjoyed it as an Itchy fan👍
Much appreciated!
Brilliant, thanks for filming this didn't find out till after, did catch the next session though, thanks for posting
No problem, glad to have shared this earlier talk. Obviously word spread & subsequent talks were understandably packed to the rafters! Thanks for commenting 🙂
That is a Blessing to see and hear her. 👍
Definitely a bonus & nice to see her talking in a different environment 👍
I missed this so great to get to watch it, we were stuck in the mud in the trf trail.
Exactly the reason I posted this, for everyone that didn't get to see her first talk. Hope it was fun in the mud! Too difficult for me!
Great video! You did good!
thank you, it's nice to have been able to bring this to her fan base along with me too being able to edit it & watch it a few more times whilst doing so.
Thanks for the video! I enjoyed it. A UK tour would be great!
Pleasure to bring it to her fans.
Itchy Boots as a surprised guest speaker, I would have fainted! I love watching Itchy Boots. Noraly is such an inspiration to so many people. However, I will take her advice and not fly a drone and ride as I would run off a cliff or into something. Let's go Itchy Boots.
🤣 Good advice re the drown. Yes regarding Noraly coming on the stage when I didnt expect it you could have knocked me down with a feather!
Noraly.... our one and only moto princess...
An Overlanding Ambassador 👍
Love that girl.
Along with hundreds of thousands of others 👍
Good to see her there, been following her for years !
Quite a shock to see her pop up on stage actually, she was great, very interesting seeing her in a different setting too.
Great work dude!
Thank you! Cheers!
my favorite story teller..
Yes agree with you there & she is very engaging. She'll be picking up more stories along the way no doubt!
It would be amazing if Noraly did eventually tour the UK!
I think she will one day....obviously I think she was pulling my leg when she said she'd save the best till last! The worlds a big place so it'll be a while yet I think 🤔
Very cool!
👍 definitely
I have been watching Noraly for several weeks now and she's an inspiration. I understand her love of travelling to new places, waking up in the morning in a new place and going to the window to see, then exploring. I'm an army daughter, so this I understand.
I don't understand wanting to travel alone in places like African countries and countries where people are very very poor and might be tempted by the things they see that she has.Or places where women are viewed as being subservient. At least, I'd only go to those places if I had a weapon.
I'm not timid, just realistic.
You make an interesting point Pam. Very true, I know people that have worked there & tell a story of some of the more harrowing side. Noraly just seems to open up the sea & just get through! Long may she be safe & keep on bringing entertaining travel videos 👍
What a wonderful experience. Noraly really is an inspiration.
Well done putting it all together and the best is yet to come. UK. We'll all be riding with her in a big circle. 😂
Ride safe, Noraly and Daz. LJ
Thanks LJ, I just happen to be in the right place at the right time, a real surprise especially when I thought Noraly was touring in West Africa. Think we should close roads just so Noraly can ride them 👍
@DazmatronMotorcycleTrips we should! 😅 its a shame trappings of success are presenting themselves in that way. But she's a true ambassador. And you tube really is today's documentary platforms.
Your view numbers are a demonstration of that too. Amazing. LJ
She’s the focus of at least one crush. 😊
The production quality is remarkable and hard to believe its a one person band but you can see the methodology and that it could be done single handed.
It is amazing she can do it all herself & for so long now, she's a machine!
" I always keep the best for last" That was a good answer.
Might be a few years away?
A lot of places & seasons for her to do yet I suspect.
Driving through Africa has to be her biggest challenge, what a place it is.
Watching her latest episodes you have hit the nail on the head Brian, Very challenging!
Thanks mate nice to hear this
Glad you enjoyed it 👍
Nice vid. I missed seeing noraly unfortunately so thank you.
Thank you for that comment, as Noraly says editing takes time, ok this is not on the same scale but I still appreciate it 👍 😀
@@DazmatronMotorcycleTrips it certainly does take time, I’m trying to get better at it any trying to keep the audience engaged
Noraley does it so well people believe it’s professionally made,it is just that she is that talented.
Totally agree with you there Dave, a lot of effort goes into her vids & she makes it look easy. Never moans about the stuff behind making/editing a video. Awesome person. 👍
Great vid, thanks for posting this. I need to get down to the Festival next year. Noraly and her tour on Ronin sealed the deal for me getting my CB500X. Inspiring lady! Hope you had a blast at the festival mate :)
Thanks Steve, the ABR was bigger & better than last year. I really enjoyed it, there was so much going on that you missed a lot of it. It needs tweaking a bit but overall a great event 👍
Awesome I’ve fallowed Noraly from the start like most people would have loved to see her in person but I know it’s good for her the people who not sure if I’ll word this right but try to benefit of Noraly’s success like her secret life hidden film crew I remember on one site I had commented that they were profiteering off Itchy Boots success because they weren’t good enough to find there own way 😂 but I also realize that it can make more people watch Itchy Boots that actually helps her make mor content for us to watch and to more far out places. I’m so jealous of you 😂 not for being at the ABR Festival but for seeing Noraly and your the first one I’ve came across showing zItchy Boots at the ABR festival so I am now looking for more so thank you for sharing 👍👍👍🏍️🏴🏍️🏴🏍️🏴
Thanks Gavin, thank you for your comments & yes those other videos profiteering from Itchy I think people can read between the lines & know its just that. Was funny listening to Noraly when she said she seen the videos & thought 'What'!!
I was lucky to have been sat there when she came on, totally gobsmacked especially as I wasn't expecting her to be there.
Sorry for thd late reply its taking me ages to reply to all the messages understandably 👍
É provável que vc não entenda meu comentário ; mas fiquei muito contente com seu vídeo , sou fã da Noraly acompanho ela já a algum tempo . Parabéns pelo vídeo e pela oportunidade de estar com ela .
Hola Charles, utilicé el traductor de Google. Gracias por sus amables comentarios. Noraly es un ser humano muy, muy valiente y excelente. Ella brilla una luz en el mundo. Las personas afines como usted y yo apreciamos lo que hace y todo el trabajo duro que realiza. Que siga viajando por el mundo por mucho tiempo. Daz.
@@DazmatronMotorcycleTrips Thanks for your response
Love her answer.
'Saving the best till last'. Yes it's nice to know, I asked her afterwards, saving the best till last could be years away?
In fairness she said she doesn't like to plan too far ahead. But nice to know one day she would like to tour the UK 👍
OMG! Noraly is such a Sweet 'n' Humble 'Rock'yroad Star! Just keep being 'Normal You' We All 'So Love You!🤍Blessings' Stay Safe Always🌦️
Totally agree with that Spirit 💯 👍
