[@tomaskrashevsky818]

Sure he is, big time, but one thing I can't get my head around, his boss seems to have a fleet of KTMs, same as Noraly is riding, so knowing where they are heading why he sends such a flimsy 'imitation' of a dirt bike? Being a brilliant guide and truly good rider, he deserves better treatment.

[@frankgavin1686]

Noraly's drone videos add so much context and texture to the amazing geography she travels. Her bike handling skills are narrowly eclipsed by her film editing skills. A remarkable woman on a remarkable journey. I suspect those of us who follow Noraly live vicariously thru her adventures.

Hallo Noraly, Maar gewoon in Nederlands, mijn taal en geboorte land en zeker niet zo machtig om mij in Engels uit te drukken. Zo trots op je Noraly, wat een avontuurlijke reizen en volg alles. Ik geboren in 1965 en nu ziek door een hersentumor en als wens dat ik weer 20 was. Als mijn geheugen het toe laat heb ik je daarover eens bericht. De geweldige avonturen die jij beleefd, de video verslagen die je daarover maakt geven mij het gevoel dat ik het ook beleef. Ik was te veel met werk/carrière om daar ook maar even over te denken en is wens nu vervlogen. Nu blijven je avonturen de hoogtepunten van de week en kan soms niet wachten op een nieuwe aflevering. Mocht je in Nederland een lezing geven of een bijeenkomst bijwonen, zal ik alles maar dan ook alles in het werk stellen om jou te ontmoeten. Ga vooral zo door met de imponerende avonturen. Mijn dank daarvoor. Jan Blaauwbroek.

And isn't it amazing how good the KTM performs and how reliable it is? I am enchanted by the landscapes, the coast and estuaries. The grove of bottle trees is incredibly impressive. Apparently they are huge Moringa trees (Moringa drouhardii JUM). What an amazing country !!

Magnifiek Noraly - the first time in years that I have re watched an entire video of yours, twice, in years - once before work @ 70, inspired me to get my 500cc Scooter out for the first time this year and travel 200 miles around my customers in Scotland - what a fabulous adventure both of us had today!

Noraly you're fresh as ever, what a life and what a soul. The feeling of traveling is something unique, love everything you update, big time for you dear Noraly and for us grateful followers🌍

[@b-radsadventures6846]

I don't think that another human exists that can so naturally highlight the good things on any route, hotel, stranger, village, or situation. You're a role model for...everyone. Thank you. We could all do better!

[@BettyKoehler-zg5sv]

Noraly, you are nothing short of amazing! Love your videos…thank you for taking us along! Greetings from PA in the USA!!

[@ronaldwhite5670]

What an adventure, beautiful scenery, the colours, the people…….wow

[@solarwinds5164]

I can't believe Didier was given a replacement motorcycle that is not adapted to doing his job as a guide, and it's not even in good condition, with the chain falling off?!! Nonetheless, what a trooper Didier is, and of course Noraly, with her amazing ''can-do'' attitude, never ceases to amaze. I do wish we could get to know the people she comes across a bit more. 😘

Noraly replied to another similar comment. She said all the bikes in shop were rented out a couple days after she arrived because of an enduro event going on and the China bike was only option for Didier.

[@solarwinds5164]

@@jasonzerbini2375 Oh well that makes more sense, thanks so much!

[@DianeGleason-tc9zd]

Noraly you are doing a trip of a lifetime! I love the fact you are fascinated by the land! Everything you show us is so beautiful!!

[@ChrisPlow]

You can’t compare the bikes but let’s be honest Noraly’s riding skill is now on another level. Dakar ‘25 ? I bet my house on her being up in top elite. Fabulous videos great personality, grit and determination and positivity on another level

[@guaduaymaderacalico]

Noraly and Didier! Keep on bringing us these great adventures in the amazing roads of Madagascar! 💪🏻❤️🌍

[@sniper1967]

Wow I’m completely blown away by your videos! This quality content is not normal. I found your channel yesterday after a guy mentioned it on another channel. Then I started watching the journey through Congo, but then I realized that I must watch the whole journey through Africa. So now I have started watching from the rally training and I can’t stop😂😂😂 Thank you so much for this amazing experience. Greetings from Denmark 🇩🇰 ❤😊😊

[@janemarett1885]

Magical place , not many tourists, so the places don’t get overwhelmed and run down . Lovely Noraly.

[@marycrawford4421]

Drone shots are stunning!!!

[@brianwalker9185]

The color contrasts, images....great photography. Love your channel...you are great.

[@samuelgeorge8524]

Your drone piloting skills, riding skills and editing skills are getting so fine tuned Noraly! And props to Didier in going through with this!

[@jasonzerbini2375]

If someone told me I get to ride with Noraly but I have to take this 200cc anemic China bike in soft sand with a pack on it and my back I'd say "Sign me up, Lets Go!" Its such a rare opportunity that ANYONE gets to ride with Noraly. What amazing scene selections she chooses. The zoom out from her alone on the beach is breathtaking. Super Happy. Thank ye Kindly Noraly. Peace! ❤❤❤

[@lucindavillarreal2676]

The opportunity of a lifetime for sure!!

[@romymongalini3838]

Beautiful Madagascar presented by the best presenter -Noraly! It is good that Didier has complete protective wear. Again, thanks for bringing us along.

[@txbagman3444]

What a beautiful country! However, I can understand why there is not any 'tourists' there. It takes our intrepid Itchy Boots to get there. You call upon all your experience, skills and dedication to show it to us. "To boldly go where no one has gone before"!! 😍🙏💪😲😃 Be Well Safe Travels Dear Noraly! 💖💖🏍🤠

[@lucindavillarreal2676]

WOW! Just stunning drone scenery with dramatic skies!! I think Noraly is clearly ready to rip it on that fast bike!! From the tuk tuk to the pousse pousse and the tuf tuf, it’s pretty clear Itchy Boots prefers the vroom vroom! Outstanding video today ! Poor Didier was dealt a bad hand but don’t worry buddy, you’re with Itchy Boots!! Loved this! Cheers from Texas USA❤

[@danomies]

“vroom vroom” 😂 she does indeed!

[@KlausZanetti]

24:25 ... the most impressing and biggest "Bottle-Trees", I`ve ever seen ... Thank you Noraly, for inserting an extra drone sequence of this wonderful piece of nature ! And by the way, another big thanks for carrying us online around the world on two wheels !

[@Faceyman1]

Love following the adventures of Noraly and the way she shares the World with us! Video, drone footage and Noraly's commentary are incredible and I find myself always waiting for the next KZbin episode!

[@tdragger172]

I just can't wrap my head around being able to go on such an adventure. Thanks for taking me along with your video content. I'm an old guy brought up when adventurers would spend years out collecting content, all on their own funding (cash flow out with nothing coming in) only to produce a film later that could recover the costs and hopefully make a profit. Being able to have cash flow in while also producing near real-time content is amazing in itself.
