DAMN! You have stolen my comment! The only obstacle for Yamaha, or another manufacturer, would be the carburetor. An exemption to emissions regulations might be possible.......I ride a KLR 650 to avoid the damn computer......My carb has no secrets..... Moritz has cleaned up the standard bike and made a sensible (and honest) machine for the intended purpose. MANUFACTURES TAKE NOTE! Not everything has to climb trees and chase squirrels at 200 MPH to be marketable!

I mean... or you could buy the T700 and make some minor upgrades and be worlds better than this bike. pouring a ton of effort into an old bike is lovely and all. but the flip side to that coin is. it melted on basic test run. begs the question how the bike will hold up on a world adventure.

She had loads of luck to go with it. It is documented in her own work. Class adjourned.

I bought my first motorcycle in 1978, a used Suzuki GT550. The electric started did not work. I used the kick starter all the time. I never repaired the electric starter. I just got used to the kick starter. I've been skeptical towards all my other motorcycles without a kick starter ever since.

It’s like ‘yeah, an oil pump’ and then the oil pump has about twenty things that have been refined over the years. If I would start over again I think I would want to learn about these things and make my profession of it.

With carburetor system, you can even do your own tuning when needed on the go. Fantastic!!! 👏👏👏

Just that level of knowledge of motorcycles is amazing, and the availability of all those parts to build such a bike definitely has my admiration and respect.

[@phyllismcdaniel-cook946]

You were privileged to have Moritz as your engineer! Soo excited to begin your new adventure!!

[@justaguy7477]

We have pre ordered your book. We look forward to reading more about your experiences and travels. We are in Canada with Dutch heritage. Hengelo and Rotterdam are where my grandparents are from. They moved to Canada in the mid 50's. I miss the droppies.

Noraly, practice using the kick start first thing in the morning, when the bike is cold. That's when it's hardest to start, so that's when you need the practice most...and it's the most likely time you'll find the battery flat from some unknown drain while you sleep.

[@BillO964]

Noraly, glad you found such a knowledgable motorcycle expert to build your custom bike. Awesome.😊 It is a beautiful , strong machine for your next adventures.

[@denniswade4998]

I was heartbroken when you talked about removing the extra rider's footpegs because you won't be taking anyone with you. . . . . I had my bags packed and ready to go!!! Oh well . . . . at least I'll have the videos! I am SO looking forward to watching all of them!

Well, just wow, one of the best totally engaging, informative, and interesting "tv" programs i've ever watched, I uselly watch itchy boots while doing my most hated household chore, washing up. I was so transfixed the water went stone cold, and my wife had a right rant when she found me stood static at the sink, just watching😂 Gonna be hard to beat this episode, and she's not even on the road yet 😊 SO looking forward to this series.

[@mudujohnjo88]

Can't wait to enjoy the next episode. Happy you're back. Sending positive vibes in your new adventure! Let's GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Noraly!!

[@Monyornothin]

It goes without saying what an amazing job this man is doing to build this motorcycle for you but the original idea is the real genius. This is exactly what you needed for your next adventure!! 🤘😎

[@isabelleb6230]

I could watch and loved to see much more episodes of Moritz explaining the details of these old Yamahas and brining Frankie to the best version to ride for you, Noraly. Excited what you are up to!

[@TSM-908]

Noraly, the last 60-90 seconds of this episode is stunning. Your eyes are just shining with utter glee for the start to season 8. Please remember that you will be travelling with a 68 year old virtual passenger, and I really want you to live your dreams and be happy and safe. So you be careful , if you can’t be careful then be good and if you can’t be good you have the best time of your life. PS memo, I have two crazy smart sons (both married & living their dreams) and one digitally adopted daughter called Noraly doing the same. 😂🥰🦅🦅❤️

[@ragweed3524]

I absolutely love Frankie. The attention to every detail is awesome. I know you are going to love your next companion and I’m sure she will serve you well! Let’s Go!

[@novaconceptAa]

Dear Noraly... Finally! I'm sure there are many of us who were waiting for the day when your bike would be ready. I can't say that in my particular case, I didn't enjoy the restoration of this improved and incredible machine, but of course traveling is the ultimate adventure (as you have of course known for years). All the good fortune to you in this new journey, and looking forward to enjoying what is to come. Greetings from Chile!

[@mattmurphy7239]

I'm glad to see that you fully recovered and you are making more videos. Looking forward to the new ones

[@VeniVidiRitchie]

I'm so excited for the new adventure. I joined the channel years ago when it had 170.000 members and now look where we are! All the best and good luck Noraly. On to the next episode! 👍🏼👍🏼💪🏼💪🏼

[@olddirtbiker5088]

Noraly-If you find it awkward kick starting that big motor while sitting on it it may be easier to put the kickstand down, get off the bike, stand on the right side and kick start it with your right foot. You can even jump on it with your body weight if you need to. That's how I started my 1968 BSA 441, cold start.

[@daveblack6951]

Moritz and his team are extraordinary! Looking forward to the new season.

[@kellymeier579]

Congratulations, Noraly, on completing your bike build and kudos to Moritz and his team for building you such a fantastic motorcycle. I will say, when you first introduced us to your next bike, an old 80's machine, I was super nervous for you. However, to have such a specialist like Moritz focus on simplicity and specifically addressing known problems with the bike, I have every confidence that you will not only do well, but you will thrive and excell on your next adventure. I found your channel several years ago when i was recovering from cancer treatment and could not ride myself. You have been such an inspiration to me to get well and get back on my bike. BTW, I ride a 2017 Yamaha Super Tenere. Go team Blue. Thank you for being you and Happy Trails.

[@Miquaybloodstrom]

Wonderful. I am now in full Itchy Boots video mode. Ready for my two doses per week. Also, Moritz, if you start your KZbin video channel up you will be watched by many people. Watching you all work together, your workshop and your knowledge has been wonderful to see. From problem to engagement to ideas to design to solution - loved it.

[@moniqueanthonio9626]

Lieve Noraly Gefeliciteerd met je nieuwe motorvriendje Frankie hij is heel erg mooi geworden en voor jou gemaakt!!! geweldig!! Ik kan niet wachten op je nieuwe avonturen. Ik ben blij dat je weer helemaal tip-top bent. Net als je motor. Moritz heeft een geweldige prestatie geleverd. En natuurlijk ook gefeliciteerd met het feit dat je boek nu in Australie ,India, UK en Usa uitgegeven gaat worden. Je bent weer goed op weg.

[@GeorgeKremer-sp2uw]

So great to see Frankie taking shape with lots of care, thought and love! It will take great care of you on your next adventure! Let's go!

[@tonydownunder5703]

Thanks for looking after her guys and the bike looks incredible 💪💪💪💪💪 Real tuff 💪💪💪💪 I love it 👌👌 And Itchy Boots will test it way beyond anybody can imagine and then some more. Let the adventure start 💪💪👌👌👍👍

[@trippontwowheels]

So happy to see you back at it again. Go get ‘em Noraly!!

[@Gidono]

It's amazing how much custom work has gone into that bike. That is so cool.

[@Indarow]

I’m so excited to see your upcoming journey! I own a KLR 650 and my bucket list trip is from my home here in Colorado, up to the northern-most tip of Alaska, then down to the southern-most tip of South America and back. I’m actually purchasing a big cruiser bike within the next year… not for the journey, but so I can preserve the KLR that I inherited from my dad for the trip. It would mean everything to me to be able to complete my bucket list trip on my father’s motorcycle.

[@obud3777]

Dankeschön Moritz, Sie haben einen sehr guten Job gemacht! 👍

[@tiniselles]

As a Dutchie I bought your book in Dutch and I thought it was well worth the read. So I can recommend the book (in English) to everyone 😊

[@SchoolforHackers]

Ah! A Dutchie! I’ve wondered what the correct term is; I’m pretty sure that Hollandaise is wrong….

[@tiniselles]

@@SchoolforHackers I think Dutchie is a cute name for a Dutchman or Dutchwoman 😊

[@SchoolforHackers]

@@tiniselles And Hollandaise is a joke 😁

[@whenever-199iq]

That yamaha, along with some other very special parts, is just awsome. You did the right thing building a custom bike for your own unique ventures. I have an early eighties yamaha myself and somehow im not surprised in the choice of bike, and you certainly had the right people for the job. Happy trails.
