When you said, “what a magical piece of my country...never been here”, it struck a chord that we individually should open our eyes to our own country. And, make every effort to keep our country clean, safe and “magical” for future generations, including the other counties we visit. Thank you Noraly!
That's a common thing in Scotland. Many people have the idea that they need to fly to the Mediterranean to go on holiday and wouldn't dream of staying in Scotland. They live in the city and haven't seen anywhere else.
I Love that your always so happy and positive
Observed trials riding is so much harder than it looks. It takes finesse, skill, balance and control to clear any section - even a flat one if you're crawling along at idle. Congratulations on your day and sharing it with us. Your teacher shows that it doesn't take a large piece of land to create your own obstacle course and hone your skills.
That is where technical mountain biking skills would pay off. Looked really fun.
I continue to exclaim "Noraly you are Amazing!" Thank you for allowing me to go along on your rides.
I used to love trials riding. It takes much more skill than you think.
I loved this content..thank you!
Noraly: No time for sightseeing.
Also Noraly: Cue montage of amazing bridge, amazing sunrise, amazing roads, amazing trees. 😄
That's the reason for no detours. Making it this assomb takes a super long time to get the perfect shots.
Well, cannot wait to watch the next one. Nice job, Noraly. You are an inspiration for all of us who love bikes.
Respect young lady respect... you had me leaning off my office chair !!
A round of applause for Noraly. Enjoyed every bit of the trial.God bless you.
I like Noraly because she's not a "poser." Most bikers are like, "Hey, I just rode in from the next town over." Noraly is like, "Hey, I just rode in from Peru." hahahah
For someone who hasn't done trials riding ever, you were amazing! Can't wait to see the next episode!
She did ride over a mountain pass in the mud and snow. In freezing temps. We nearly froze your butts off just watching. It was in one of the stan countries in the middle east. that was with Basanti, my favorite. I want to go to the shop and visit Basanti, one day.
I think you may be surprised at how much this helps with riding on the roads..👍
should be part of every learners training
Does look like fun. Had to laugh at myself a couple times I was leaning my head and body trying to turn with you. 😆
Me too!
@@jennythorpe777 We all will may have to be careful with so many of us leaning with noraly we might tip the world a little bit.
We should all join one of those yacht racing teams! I can picture us all leaning off the high side of the boat! 😀⛵
Yes indeed, me too. (how do you quote a person with the @ + name), sometimes it works and here not. (normally I tap into the name and it works)
@@kimbee2604 I just touched your comment and the UA-cam app started my reply with your name at the front. But I do know that there are limitations to how this works now. For instance, you used to be able to write a comment and tag someone in your comment using the @ symbol, but that no longer works. I think it only works if you actually touch that person's comment to reply specifically to them.
You did really good. Your instructor was literally dancing on his bike, its obvious he has been doing this from his youth and still loves the dance.
Riding different bikes and styles is so awesome to watch. What a treat, takes me back to my youth. Great series! Thank you.
I had a 1974 Kawasaki KT 250 to participate in vintage trials. We called it motorcycle yoga. You really have to be flexible and have good balance. Modern trials is insane!
Super effort Noraly Trail riding isn’t easy, well done.
trail riding is best place to begin riding as skills learned off road lead to better ability on road , small bike also help as they help teach how to get the best out of what you have , I know plenty of riders who began on larger bikes and just can't keep up with e rider who learned on small bikes
Good effort this will definitely make you a better adventure rider did you do any riding when you worked here in Australia l enjoy watching your adventures very inspiring
Technically, she wasn't trail riding, she was trials riding which is even more difficult.
Trials not trail. Two different disciplines of motorcycle sport.
Sorry for being picky.
It sure takes practice
Absolutely freaking awesome to watch you learning these new riding skills. Loving it!!!!!! 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜
Eish! Loraly, now I understand why you handled Sani Pass and thebChimanimani mountains like a pro. Well done, seriously impressed with your flair for applying yourself to all those lessons. You never cease to amaze me.
I think it is really awesome that you are trying new bikes and new styles of riding. Very enjoyable video. I have never seen the trial bikes before.
I started riding dirt bikes when I was 14 & those skills have been so valuable on the street with my old Harley to the Dresser that you inspired me to buy & get riding again. 😎
My big brother threw me on a little Honda trail 50 when I was 5. We lived on the top of a very steep hill and he showed me where the brakes, gear shift and gas was and pushed me down the hill yelling at my to ride or die. I got to the bottom of the hill and promptly fell over. I was hooked from then on.
"I made my own route!". No truer words ever spoken by either a Mortal or a God.
You're a million % fantastic. The Adventures of NORALY continues! 💖💃🎶🥰 Love you lots from northern California. 🇺🇸
Great when you manage to make these to our delight even though the world situation is what it is. i enjoy watching when you are so positive and happy and you take us along. thank you
Noraly you are such an inspiration and this is because you are willing to be instructed on how to master all facets of riding a motorcycle. My congratulations to you.
Noraly you are a natural rider like when you raced on the TT track I could see that you are a quick learner and with all your pre-training off-road in all those countries have shone through in trial riding as it is a skill on its own and you flew through with little difficulty and I bet learned a lot as trial riding is not an easy sport to master in the 80s when I used to do trials the bikes were not as good as yours but were still proficient at doing the sport and we had a load of fun which is what its all about having fun and making friends in my case life long friends in any motorsport you will find some amazing people and make great friendships along the way and I am looking forward to seeing your endeavours in the future as you have now become an all-round rider.
It was cute how Noraly’s instructor at the trial riding school was showing off while leading her around! 🤗
Yay! It's Itchy Boots time ! Good Morning Noraly! You did a great job on that trial bike! It looked like a lot of fun!
Damn Noraly that was impressive for a first go. Well done.
I dont think a lot of vloggers show the map and explain where they are going like you do... That deserve special appreciation ...!
I am glad to see that you’re honing your riding skills. What you are learning now will be a big benefit to you as you travel, and could save your life. Well done!
Thank you for continuing to bring us AMAZING videos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The World will only have returned to normal when we see Noraly in the middle of an unexplored dessert region saying "Good Morning Internet"!!
"It is 8:00 in the morning and I am having for breakfast!"
@@Phyde4ux Yes! Usually a really nice looking pastry!
Amen

Everyone should ride off road it gives you so much on road skills.
Try snow and ice too. That is really going to teach you to be good to use the clutch. And balance. offroad is a good start. Because the ice is really hard riding on. But so much fun.
Lovely stuff! My first motorcycle was a 1974 Honda TL125 trials bike. The skills you learn in that sport are tremendous confidence-boosters, and transferable to everything else you’ll ever do on two wheels.
Well that was fun to watch Noraly! Love your bravado, your enthusiasm, your openess and willingness to learn and your ability to laugh at yourself. You're a delightful soul indeed. 👍
~Enjoyed your recent live chat that I watched after the fact since I missed it when it was actually live. Love all of your items in your store and plan to buy at least one of each, over time, as my budget permits.
~~Re those drama types who feel the need to be hateful - this is normal, right? People are people. "You can please some of the people some of the time but you cannot please all of the people all of the time." Haters gotta hate. We, your loyal followers, vastly outnumber any of those very few haters Noraly. I too am a basically happy, upbeat and grateful soul. It attracts both friends and foes, for real, lol. If someone is a miserable type person, then they don't get happy people. They might be jealous, they might think it's phony. I have been accused of: being high, did too many drugs in the past, being phony, on too much caffeine, being too positive and on and on, lol. To some people - you cannot REALLY be a happy person!!! Lol. How sad is that?? I actually feel sad for those who don't get it and then I steer clear of them, lol. "Misery loves company" and I like to add: "and it hates happy!" 😁
~~~Being human, at times I can get worn down from the negativity in our world. I cry when I need to, vent to a friend to then let it go and get back to my essence. Every day, along w/my other prayers, I ask The Universe, God, my Guardian Angel - whoever is out there - to please help me continue to "let my little light shine", no matter what, one moment at a time. It works and I say thank you when I put my head on my pillow to fall asleep at night.
~~~~So you shine on Noraly!!! You are a wonderful light of delight! We are not here to do and be as others say we "should" be. We are here to be who we are. Obviously tons of us, around our world, think you are fabulous, just as you are! Hope you enjoy a lovely week ahead and, like so many others, I look forward to your next video! May The Universe continue to keep you safe, healthy and happy! Ride on girl, ride on!! Bfn. 👋🤠👍🏍
I did the same course in England a few years ago it taught me so much about slow riding off road and it stays with you forever
Totally agree! Probably the best way to learn how to handle a bike at slow speed.
You were brilliant. When that instructor said fatigue was setting in I totally know that feeling even though only on the road. That forest section looked amazing, nice to see some hills in the Netherlands.
Noraly, In the mid 70's I helped a good friend move his family to Broomstraw Ridge in Jumping Branch, West Virginia, population 360, from California. I liked it so much I fixed up an old one room house behind theirs and stayed a while, (2 yrs.) We bought a pair of new Suzuki 250 trails bikes and started exploring up in the hills behind the place. What we found was many hundreds of acres of abandon strip mines! It was trail bike heaven! We road new ground almost every time we went out and never saw another soul! I still have peg scars on my shins from it! What a Blast!
You are better in trial than some lawyers (wink)
How quickly you get the hang of it, you are a natural talent.
My compliments for the subtitles, spot on translation!
Love your videos, even when you are not traveling ... I even click the thumbs up even before starting to watch them :D .. take care, Noraly.
After watching so many of your videos that was an absolute rollercoaster of a ride and you could tell even on screen… Awesome!!!
In everything you do, you make your own route. And that’s part of why we love you and your adventures! Great vid ma’am! 😊
The last time I rode a trials bike I was 19, that was errrm, a few years ago! I was leaning left, right, forward, backwards watching the video, it looked like a LOT of fun. Really enjoying this series Noraly, thank you.
Last time I rode a trial bike was errrrm a brand new 1975 Yamaha TY 125! And I kept it a while. I love to watch Trial competition. It is just amazing what the bikes and the riders are capable off! To the good old days. Cheers
@@patrickcooper9641 i had a 1972 ossa mick andrews replica. i enjoyed trials more than motocross or enduro. those were good times!
@@yenbbc8840 Ossa, Montessa, Bultaco, Huskies...........they were so much fun!
I started trial when I was less than 13 on a TY 80 (Yamaha), then a TL 125 (Honda), a TY 175 ...
It brought me invaluable skills on the road and a mentality that saved my life i.e. the pleasure of riding a motorcycle is not linked in any way to speed.
@@sylvainmichaud2262 I totally agree with you. And it is funny to me nowadays all these new motorcycles come with ride modes!! Back then we only had one ride mode: can you ride? I won't even go through the different modes offered now! I can tell you that I and many of us went around the world with an accelerator, some sort of brakes, no GoreTex, no wheelie control, no ABS, a carburetor which could always be repaired/fixed....the most important spare part I/we carried was a clutch cable or 2! Pretty much everything else could be improvised/fixed with some ingenuity! It still applies in less fortunate countries. I know I am older but I am so happy to have experienced biking back then. Sorry about this long comment but I guess we are most likely from the same generation and I love to share my experiences as a biker. Happy holiday season. Cheers
Beautiful just lovely. Your videos, Noraly, are the highlight of my week. Thank you so much :) xx
This was great to watch. My first ride was on my Grandfather's Honda TL 250 at the age of 14. I was hooked. My father found me a beautiful Honda TL 125 (I think a 1974) and purchased it as my first ever bike. This was back when the Trial's bikes had a modest seat on them. I still learned how to climb over logs, rocks etc and take corners uber slow. It takes a lot of skill to stand up and go slow. I have also been to Trial's Competitions and the people who climb rocks that are taller than they are from the bottom at a near stand still and all the other things they do, like going across skinny logs across a river, etc. is mind-blowing. The first time I switched over to riding a traditional 4-stroke dirt bike, I had to essentially relearn how to ride. I found out very quickly that the turning radius was not as good and I couldn't go slow or really around things. I had to learn to go faster and go OVER things. :) I have mad respect for all of the trial's riders who ride now with no seat, etc.
Always a pleasure
Enjoy watching people enjoying all manners of motorcycles
Good morning, Noraly. An another Monday, another great mood video 🥰
You made me remember when I was Young,thank you
What a fun way to ride. It's a whole new world that you can explore and enjoy on two wheels.
yes, trials riding, honing fine balance and dirt skills, all those skills are related to any other dirt travel. Pure enjoyment, yeah, yeah
That was awesome!!’ Those skills will definitely help you when you are off road on your adventures!!! !👍
That's really a fun and good workout. I will definitely choose it over gym everytime 😆. This series just keep getting better! Loving it!
You are so right! This ought to be taught to all riders in their first year of riding. Wow, it looked like fun!!
Is this what they call a boring season??🤔 I don't ride but I'm enjoying every single of it! I find it very interesting to see her on a trial bike knowing she already travelled across continents and experienced different terrains. She's making the most of her time in her country to share dutchmoto and to learn new skills👌Looking forward on Monday's vlog😍
Everyone thinks they can do this until they give it a go. Well done, pretty impressive stuff 👍
just like anything else its practice. the more low speed stuff you practice on bikes the better you'll do at trials. i'd like to give a trial bike a go one of these days though, they look fun and flickable.
Yup, trials bikes are really difficult to ride until you get dialed in. Like the guy said, use your feet to steer.
Everyone should have a go at this. Really hones your low speed manoeuvring while on your “bigger bike”.
I looked and looked again and again yesterday for the new Itchy Boots. Then I realized it was not Monday yet. It was Sunday! Long time from Monday to Monday!
Atta Girl, keep stretching your skills, I love what you are role modeling here to your peers and youngsters. You are living life to the fullest. Heart wide open, spirit guided, feet on the ground, You are doing it. thank you for sharing this part of your life. You are making a difference.
Such a change from the normal Noraly expedition! The European autumn is so good to view from down under. Being a pom going back 60 years autumn is very much missed. The beauty and peace - wonderful! Not surprised you were flaked out after 4 hours...
Geez, if it was that much fun just to watch, then you must have had an absolute blast actually riding trials! Next Monday's videos looks like its going to be a load of fun too! 😁
YOU ARE DOING GOOD,,YOU ARE BORN WINNER
Noraly , thank you for reminding me how much fun it was to play off road which i did most every Sunday for more than forty years . Now i tour on my goldwing when i can get away and enjoy it as well . And yes off road riding is , i believe, the best training you can ever get for riding motorcycles of every kind in most all conditions. Thoroughly enjoy being with you on your adventures .
I have the same Monty 315, they have loads of grunt and can be a bit of a handfull. You did really well and your body position was good. Obviously looking ahead at where you want to be going next, not staring at the floor in front of the wheel. You can now start to appreciate how much balance is improved when stood up. Bloody good Job.
Awesome! I grew up riding dirt bikes and this just takes me right back!
This is adventure extreme sports.... absolute stunning
Five thumbs up!
Yeah, observed trials, the motorsport of my youth in the Rocky Mountains of the USA. It will show whether one has good basic skills, and will improve your riding... all types of riding.
Noraly, trials & motocross schools will improve your adventure riding so much. Do more when you can.
I started riding on fields in 73 at the tender age of 14 on an old 350cc bike. A year later I was riding trials and dirt trails on a old British Greeves 250. At 17 I worked 2 jobs to buy a Bultaco 250 trials bike, it was a quantum leap in ability & elevated my skills too. Apart from competitions, playing "follow my leader" was such fun.
Well done, looks like you had a lot of fun. I liked the bit where the bike started to move before you got on it....:-)
I loved the “I made my own route!” comment. I recently did that twice on a race track and the instructors were not buying my explanation that I wanted to see how the race bike handled off road :) (It handled fine- just don’t brake!). I thought you did great, and the area you were riding in was beautiful. This whole series of videos has been really engaging and enjoyable!
What FUN! I rode street bikes for 10 years before getting on an off-road bike for the first time. The feel is so much different but dirt riding is a blast! And no traffic to worry about, just rocks and maybe a tree or cliff. Always wanted to try a trials bike. You did so well in your 4 hour intro to dirt riding and trials bikes. In all your adventures, I had never thought about your always having an electric start instead of a kick start. Another good thing....the dirt bikes are lighter (for all the times you fall over and have to pick them up). Safe travels!
Thanks for the interesting and fun video! Good to see that you're making the most of your time closer to home and well done for negotiating those forest trails.....Regards from Devon UK.
What a day, you did make it count . Bravo ‼️
Oh, how I miss my little old yz! Forty years without riding and then I see Norali standing in the bike making turns... and suddenly I realize I was instinctively leaning my body and pressing my feet to the ground. You can leave trial but trial never leaves you, I guess. Congrats for the lovely video, Norali.
Oh man, that so takes me back 50 years ago riding with my dad! Was about 10 years old when he gave me his bultaco 250 sherpa t.
It's a grand lifestyle! Cheers from 🇨🇦!
Oh, she's having fun now !
Man, riding a bike like that must be a pretty decent workout for the thighs and core muscles after a while. Looks fun!
Excellent!! The skills you get this way can make life on the bike so much safer. Thanks Noraly.
Watching a few older videos , I realized how musical and animated Noraly's voice is which adds nicely to the narrative qualities within when interacting with others as well as your audience.
I grew up in the 70s riding BMWs everywhere with no reservation and recently tried a Honda CRF 250 Rally
My comment on it is I hope someone buys it soon so I can get back on another old BMW.
Always love your videos. Highlight of my day.
How cool is this! Next time I get home to NL I'll definitely try this. Thanks for taking us along.
as a 74-year-old this took me back to my teenage years THANK YOU. I have been watching your Africa journey starting in Morocco and just love what you're doing x
Great job Noraly. Trails is a whole other world of control. Finese with the engine, brakes, clutch and body english. Yeap, it will wear you out. So worth it to find you balance and control. Stay safe. Motocross, another world.
This series is the best! ❤️
@@martinforrester8249 I wasn't comparing this with the travels. Chill, don't be so pedantic.
@@martinforrester8249 the definition was for my benefit not yours btw...LOL
because it amused me
Just watching as you manouvred Ronin on your way out of there showed how much you had learned today. I realy enjoyed watching your progress/confidence grow as the day wore on. Great episode, as they all are.
Yup me too, that was a tricky right down the slope and a left through the gate with no hesitation.👍
Brilliant Noraly. Trials riding is the true art of riding a motorcycle.
Awwwww amazing cheers, love trials since 16 years old until today 68 trial classic motorcycles
Next: Motocross school !
Good on ya for having a go, it’ll definitely improve your off road riding for when your galavanting around the world😂👍🏽
No fear, just gas up, up and down, so much fun!
A laugh a minute with a little.....close to the edge Ahhh thrown in. What a blast!!! Thank you. Ride safe.
That looked like so much fun Noraly! Already looking forward to next monday.
It seems that the course experience was more difficult🏍💦 than I had imagined, but I was impressed by the positive and enjoyable attitude💛🕊.
The video makes me miss my first motorcycles back in the 70s. Yamaha DT175, and MX250. Love that sound.
I was like a nervous dad watching you ride in the woods. However, YOU DID GREAT! I love how nothing stops you. Great joy young lady.
Trials is one of the most technically demanding motorized disciplines. Well done.
Very awesome...trail riding and dirt bikes will definitely help any rider👍 really like how you mix it up and keep the adventures fresh🍻
When I was much younger, I bought a new trials bike and got pretty good on it. I lived in Alaska and used it to take me all over, out in the bush, where I camped and rode for many miles. It was a great bike! SR
I rode trials bikes for 20 years probably the best training especially going back to an enduro, it really expands how you look at what can be ridden, trials riding is pretty much the most go anywhere on 2 wheel vehicle there is... learning the massive unloads and hoping around like a frog.
Making it look easy Noraly, holy moly and Marcel is insane driving with one hand filming with the other haha very enjoyable video
