[S2 - Eps. 59] Surviving torrential downpour in Bolivia

[@macuser48]

After watching all of season 1 and now 59 episodes of season 2, I just bought a Honda CB500X. I've never ridden a motorcycle until today. All inspired by Noraly. Now, I can have my own version of Itchy Boots...at the age of 72!

[@shaunbat5097]

How's life on the bike?

[@formerpilot]

@@shaunbat5097 Actually, I didn't pass the rider's test to get an endorsement so I sold the bike back to the shop. No motorcycling for me. Instead, I purchased an e-bike and tool around the streets of Albuquerque. 😕

[@foxiedogitchypaws7141]

Be careful and have Fun!

Roland I also book today for my motorcycle test after whatchig a lot of episodes i hope to have better luck than you ,i did not bougth a bike yet just in case take care

Greetings Boots I worked helping to build roads in Michigan in the '60s and '70s. What you were riding in is called a ditch. Roads have a ditch on either side to carry away water, leaving a relatively dry/firm roadway. And, I understand, you are in 'not' Michigan. I appreciate your grit and sense of humor under grueling conditions. As an adventurer, this is what you signed up for and clearly enjoy as part of the adventure. I believe you are demonstrating a clear metaphor for life - you do the best you can with what you have and it helps to have a plan, a sense of humor, a forgiving, kind, and grateful heart, optimism, and only get hungry when there's food to eat. Your journey also clearly reflects the heart of the Hero's Journey, gratefully accepting help/support along the way. Blessings to you as you continue to live out a travel adventure on our behalf, even though that may not be part of your mission. Thank you.

[@WhiteTiger333]

Amen, Neil! I'm so grateful I found Noraly's channel. Inspiring, amazing - truly, Nat'l Geographic couldn't do better. This journey is even more compelling, imo, especially since it's "live"! It's so cool that fans in the different countries get to enjoy her experience of their neck of the woods. Of course, we Americans are waiting for it to see where she goes...and if we've been there, too. I'm sure I'll learn a lot about my own country!

[@johngilbert9553]

Very well said.

[@daymaker5460]

I think the old dude charging toll must be made to pave the road first! And Neil you truly described a motorcycle adventurer, this woman is that in spades. I have been riding forever and have never seen anything like her. Regards.

How about that another Michigander out here in cyberspace. Well said Neil

[@knuckles-3386]

I’m an old man with health problems and I’m going back to watch these older videos while you heal up from your injuries i hope to be able to get a copy of your book in English and watch your next trip ❤love you please be safe

[@marvinettes]

A few days ago, I searched for women's motovlogs on KZbin and finally found you. I was hooked right away and now I have watched all the episodes from India to this day. I'm just ... speechless. WOW! After these videos, my short day trips in my own country seem really boring and I still have to wait for spring to get on my bike. Thank you for sharing your incredible travels with us and for presenting the stunning scenery around the world with your smile and positive attitude. Have a safe ride!

[@stevegrim]

Try this one. Different continent but just as tough. kzbin.info/door/wn9AheYpfc4F62EZKsOEhw

Royal Enfield should offer a Noraly adventure rider edition with all her adaptions and equipment developed by her from hands-on experience riding the worlds most difficult roads and trails.

[@WhiteTiger333]

On today's road, she could have used an outrigger attachment!

[@jakobdijkstra9672]

thats for shore

[@WybleMontano]

Agree!

[@neilmeiskey5482]

I’d buy it!

[@showizeventsandentertainme454]

Yes I strongly recommend that, I believe that no one would have done this in Royal Enfield so far.

[@PeterGort]

I am in awe of your riding skills, tackling those tough parts at over 4,000 meters altitude takes great perseverance and skill! Especially carrying all your gear! I am enjoying your trip enormously, thank you so much for sharing this with us all.

[@guusderotte1206]

Noraly, treat yourself to a nice paved road every now and then. My heart breaks to see you struggle. Although the scenery is amazing. Ik met Basanti at the motorbeurs in Utrecht. She told me to say hi 👋🏻 to you.

[@andytheflyer]

As a now-retired (UK) geologist, and motorcyclist, your views of the landscape are fascinating. I've not been to the Andes, and I doubt I ever will, but it's good to see the videos of the Andean chain volcanoes on the plate margin. So, thank you Noraly.

[@Rich-cq4gz]

Respect to you Noraly! What a great adventurer....it’s easy to see you are loving every minute, we are too!

[@antcullimore3550]

A few years ago I tried to read Darwin's "Voyage of the Beagle". Much of it is set in South America and I had trouble imagining the scenes he described. After watching your videos of Argentina, Chile and now Bolivia I returned to the book and it is so much easier to read. I even know what some of the animals he wrote about look like! Thank you for showing us this amazing, volcanic, mineralised, desolate but beautiful place.

[@AbdulAziz-lu8fw]

Wow... What you.wrote was a Priceless Reading ALWAYS leads to wisdom That what you becomes🙂👌👍 I enjoyed reading your word's Thank you.. Greetings from Kingdom of Saudi Arabia 🌴🌴

[@Bayerwaldler]

How surprising: I took the same track as you. Darwin's book made me super interested to see the places and landscapes.

UAUUA, I'm from florinópolis -SC Brazil, incredible you spent 2 thousand km here from home, incredible your expedition around the world, your spirit and courage make my trips seem like a walk in the park. Thank you, you turn me on and make us think a little about life, time is passing we have to enjoy every minute, good trips that God protects and if you pass by, there are open doors ... hand on the berry .... speed is life. abs Ivo Bastos.

[@iamDamaaldumeel]

To admit frankly, when life sucks on a daily basis, watching your travel motivates me move ahead. THANKS A LOT NORALY. 💛💙💜💗💚❤

[@henriettethiim]

"Yesterday was the hardest day". Bolivia: "Hold my beer". Noraly, I can't even express how much respect I have for what you are doing. That is super remote landscapes you are riding through in one of the poorest countries in the world! And then in the rainy season. Really hard core. I know that the motorcycle community following you consists of a lot of desktop adventurers and the mansplaining is strong with some of them. But very few of them will ever put themselves through the kind of extreme adventure that you are. They overplan even a weekend trip. Fortunately they are highly outnumbered by all those who thoroughly respect and adore you for what you do. Thanks for taking the time to film and share your adventure. I will think of you every time I am about to chicken out of some sort road. All the love ❤❤❤

[@The_Story_Channel]

@पढ़ो अंग्रेजी पर लिखो हिंदी Relax dude, you are proving her point by being a man mansplaining about one small word she used in the context of "some men" and accusing her of being fake when in reality you know nothing about this individual. You don't need to make a big deal over something so trivial even if your ego was insulted.

[@pennsyltuckyden9823]

Henriette Thiim. Could you please expand on the use of the term " mansplaining " no disrespect, just never heard of it before, thank you.

[@henriettethiim]

@@pennsyltuckyden9823 Wiki says to comment on or explain something to a woman in a condescending, overconfident, and often inaccurate or oversimplified manner". I get my fair share of this. I have travelled further than most motorcyclists I know and still guys will tell me what to bring or how to set up my gear in a very condescending way. I don't mind people's opinions or different views. I love that and feel I can learn all my life. But it is the way it is being served. And I can just see that Noraly despite being more experienced than most, is getting her fair share. Simply because she dares to share her shaky moments. Something that takes a lot more courage, because she exposes herself to all those who think they know better. I hope that made sense :)

[@henriettethiim]

@पढ़ो अंग्रेजी पर लिखो हिंदी oh my, you get easily upset dear. Calm down. No need to get personal. I never targeted you with my comment. So no need to call me any names.

[@jerryborsato6828]

Was at the Toronto bike show in Canada. Seems you are very popular here. The same bike like yours was on display at the show. You were the main person talked about at that display. Everyone seemed to know who you were and follow you and your journey.

[@mikehatswell3961]

Well done Noraly, riding a road like that at that altitude on a fully laden bike is one heck of an achievement, much respect

[@mark2386]

phantastich, Noraly, das du den Tim getroffen und kennengelernt hast~! hat nach viel spass ausgesehen.

[@christophmensch3945]

Noraly, i haven’t discovered a more charismatic and professional motorcycle traveller than you are yet. It's an exciting pleasure to see you ride with so much consideration and riding skills. I'm sure you make it to Alaska in one piece. Also very nice: Tough German meets dutch Badass, a kind of adventurer summit in the middle of nowhere (where else). And: i saw the breakfast and didn't hear you mention lunch a single time. A good breakfast can be so sustainable....

[@pdparmar]

It’s inspiring how Noraly laughs out the most difficult situations! 🏍💁🏼‍♀️

[@frankspeakmore7104]

I take my hat off to you and your adventure. This is the best motorcycle vloging on KZbin.

[@sullybiker6520]

Always glad when you find a biking companion. I wonder how Tim's 690 coped with the variable petrol quality in some of these places - my friend's 690 Duke is very particular about what it drinks.

[@davidgeorgerobinson4149]

Great video. " I will take the bypass". Biker, civil engineer, geologist, and now comedian. Good wishes from Glasgow.

[@1neugene]

You've got to behave yourself on a toll road!😜

[@davericketts9101]

Such courage and determination in conditions that most of us will never see or attempt. I, like many others, have seen every episode from season 1 and up to here on season 2, working my way through these amazing journeys and I cannot add anything to the thousands of comments about 'Wonder Woman'. These videos should be on every school geography curriculum. Fantastic.

Wow...I’m sitting in a comfy armchair but white knuckling it on the armrests. Felt myself drop the bike a half dozen times while Noraly manages to glide through the rough and mess. I am super impressed with you Noraly. Amazing scenery again but as usual lately, really bad ‘tracks’.

[@sumchinmangtonsing1252]

Folks, navigating through slipper and muddy road is tough. But Itchy Boots, you made it. @Itchy Boots you are a great rider 👍

[@giorgiolacognata2138]

Noraly, you are fantastic. What you are doing is bringing back memories. If I may give a bit of advice, I would suggest you to clean and lube Dhanno' chain almost on a daily basis. The spokes should be checked also (I'd suggest you carry some spares). You know, I am not sure that deflating your tires on sandy paths is a good idea. The valve of the inner tube risks to be ripped off. If you had "tubeless" it would be no problem, but with tubes ... Bless you

[@wimm1392]

I love the way you show your respect and consideration to the environment. Fantastic video. Thanks

[@talk2kev]

That was not a road it was a goat trail. My hat is off to you Noraly.I ride GL1800 big touring bike I don't mind dirt roads I mainly stay on payment, but most of what you ride is trails which I totally avoid. I enjoy your videos watched all of your others.I wish you well on your adventures.

[@Eric_412]

I have no idea why a television company hasn’t picked up Noraly’s adventure and make a series out of it. My family and I never miss an episode so we feel if this was a television series a lot of people would tune in, this channel is by far the best channel on You Tube. Yes the theme is similar each episode but that is why this channel works so well. Noraly showing what she eats is such a good idea, it allows us followers to see what different cultures eat and how they live. Was good to see that the toll money she paid goes towards the upkeep of roads 🤣👍😂

[@harshavardhanmp2031]
