      I think and really do hope she understands the magnitude of her work. She does a lot of good, surely she sees that.
      Here's a quote I found online referring to Dutch people, "They do not draw attention to themselves and do not value the accouterments of success highly prized by other western societies.
      They dislike displays of wealth, as they run counter to their egalitarian beliefs.
      They do not boast about their accomplishments or their material possessions."

    Noraly, I love your videos and the attention you have brought, (in a good way,) not only for motorcyclist worldwide, but especially to duel sport riding. The history that you share is priceless. I have ridden most of my life and am as close to three quarters of a century in age as you can get without being there. Recently I watched the ABR 2023 videos. You were amazing! The way you conduct yourself is a talent many of us could learn from. The world is always looking for someone they can look up to as an example and you have fulfilled this many times over. You are not only a skilled rider, but a very classy lady. I wish you the very best and look forward to every adventure you share with your Internet family. May God continue to watch over you and bless you!

    Lisa & I feel so blessed to come across your channel. We are so proud of you and the interaction you have with the people you meet. Once in Luzon PI my buddy and I got lost with the Jeep in new a people’s army territory. We ran across a older man carrying wood stacked really tall on his back. He said is was dangerous there and we should go to his village. We gave him a ride home many miles away. The whole village told us to stay so we did and slept in a grass hut but kept hearing people moving around outside. The next morning we woke to find the whole village cooking some pigs for a party for us bringing their elder home. These people had very little yet gave us so much. As we left in the morning after we all ate they all ran after us. John and I went to a market to buy them 5 new pigs and supplies and again went to the village to give all and more back to them. To see their smiles and feel their gratitude make us all happy. Everyplace we went around the world the poorest people were the best, the kindness, the things they taught us and how happy and proud they were. Best days of my life. 👍 keep up the good work.
