Hi Noraly. Welcome to Johannesburg. My wife and I have been following you since you started your adventures in India and are great admirers. We happen to live just a few kilometers from where you are so please give us a shout if we can help with anything at all. I can just imagine how difficult it is coming to a new country with very little backup.

[@mmorlan1481]

You hear sooo many horror stories and negative press about SA. But the real truth is that 95% of the people are just like Graeme and his wife, who will go out of their way to help and make you feel welcome and looked after. I have done 3 major tours of SA on a motorcycle and very single time I had an issue, it was minutes before someone stopped to help. One guy drove 200km out of his way with my bike on the back of his bakkie when my tyre shredded. Another guy stripped a cable off the speed boat he was towing to fix my snapped clutch cable. ( that lasted another 4000km) South Africans are wonderful people.

[@malcellison8831]

Great offer. Well done 👍

[@WheelyArt]

[@Nulrom]

She's my bike! It's a great one but there are some things to be done on her: 1 the seat is a rock. 2 the pipe is very restrictive and heavy. I had a new one, saved 5 kilos and she gained some power (incredibly) 3 lights need to be improved 4 front suspension is too soft. Really too soft for offroading and really too soft for asphalt. 5 stock tires are shit. Care when it rains. 6 it has a ridiculously small tank. You can get an aftermarket one and gives you 30 per cent more range. 7 I added a windbreaker. 8 the bar is easy to brake. Overall a great bike. Very reliable. After all those mods

You can't go wrong with the Honda, bullet proof, frugal, easy to ride, easy to fix, I loved mine (which I sold a couple of months back having owned it since 2014).

We travel to South Africa regularly and we usually avoid the cities-not only because of crime and traffic but because there are so many places in the country to see (read: NOT game parks). South Africa has a pretty good road network and good cell coverage most places. It also has many different types of regions/climates: subtropical, beaches/coastline, mountain, high plains, scrubland, semi-desert, and desert. Warm Indian Ocean, cold Atlantic Ocean.

[@michaeljones1475]

I noticed Noraly mentioned the houses were all behind high walls and fences, that's because the level of crime is very high in South Africa. I think she will have to be extremely careful being a young blue eyed girl travelling on her own and I will really worry about her safety. Please take care Noraly, more care than even South America.

You literally walked within 200m of my old house, brings back such lovely memories. We are now living in the UK. Great videos, keep up the good work

Itchy boots eyes sparkling again. Congratulation on new ride. Had Honda for so many years without serious problems. Reliable motor, but plastic are expansive, get guards.

It’s going left thru the roundabouts that always gets me into trouble! Safe journey! Looking forward to the season!!!

I was shouting at the screen when you started your test ride and went to the wrong side of the road. We've all done it 😁

[@martinlaubscher4324]

Place a red arrow sticker on the centre of the handle bar pointing to the left. Too easy to make a mistake when departing from a quite area.

[@PeterNiepel]

I never shouted at any screen.

[@thetessellater9163]

A young motorcyclist was killed in England when a woman from an American forces unit stationed there came out of the base and drove on the right instead of the left. She is refusing to come here and face justice at present. We can only hope.

Congrats on your "new" Honda CRF250L. It's a great on/off road bike. And from experience, I feel they will never let you down. Nice to see you back on your adventure rides. Thanks.

[@mirjanaskobic4839]

Good luck!!! Looking forward to see SA through your experience.

I just bought the 2021 Rally version of this bike. It rides like a dream, has plenty of power, and is super reliable. Heading out to find some dirt roads!

[@nikunjpapnejja7992]

First thing to do when you open an itchy boots video: hit the like button! Would love to have an update on dhanno!

[@MilanGajicBuva]

I was wondering the same 🧐

[@_desertork1839]

I read somewhere that dhanno arrived in bad conditions and it wasn't rideable anymore, such a sad outcome.

[@michaelladymon5143]

The Honda 250l is a nice choice. There is plenty of aftermarket accessories for that bike.

[@kamencic]

Nice to have you back Noraly. I missed your travels so much.

[@troutguy4561]

In case you are not aware of it, you are excellent at what you do and very inspiring. This is from Bethlehem, Ga. USA. My wife and I are religious followers of yours. Keep up the great work!!!

I don't recommend you watch her Iceland trip then!

I spent several years there, I hope you understand the dangers and take the needed precautions. It’s a beautiful place, but It can get ugly fast.

We used to live in Bryanston. The 'Baron' restaurant, (3km north of the Cramerview Centre where Fire It Up is located) now sits about where our house' dining room used to be! Enjoy your time there.

[@PinaBessa]

Enjoy South Africa, a beautiful country lots to explore. Keep safe! My husband and I really enjoy your videos.

[@hildadeavall6028]

Be safe in SA Noraly. Under level 1 lockdown where we are now, mask wearing in public is still compulsory and a criminal offense if not worn. Some of our police are fantastic and others are rotten, so be vigilant! Just a heads up.
