PROBLEMS on the longest stage.. Itchy Boots rides Kalahari Rally - Stage 5

[@akersjon278]

As if riding across Africa by yourself wasn't impressive enough, now we get to see you take part in your first rally. And what happens? Well you are passing other riders (on bigger bikes) right and left (little Savannah is doing soo good!). You are solving problems on the fly (like finding petrol in the middle of nowhere, and fixing punctures like a pro). Further more you are always trying to help your fellow competitors as much as you can, and all this while being...well, while being the same calm, sweet and funny Noraly we all love to watch every day when there is no competition, just calmly riding alone (no stopping to look at the local geology or wildlife this week though, that's a bit disappointing...😉😁 ) As others have already said to you, much respect. Go Noraly Go!❤👍

Perfect commentary ..Noraly is AMAZING!!! ( & a super lovely human-being too!)

[@michellematthews8332]

Fun to watch and inspiring!

[@paullensvelt9385]

That was a proper rally day. Flat tire, fuel leakage, wild animals on the road and a bazillion miles to go. This was one the best episode's to watch, so far. Just, world class riding. Nicely done! And even helping out others, that's a really nice trademark, Noraly!

[@desfoley6335]

Yeah, crazy fast on loose sand tracks! 😳 on a bike with questionable suspension on top of that, really impressive!

Just astonishing. Riveting viewing. The speed on those roads. The distance. On a 250. And hey, let's film it. narrate it, and get it out to us while you're at it Noraly. I think we are all watching something truly special here. Thank you.

[@richardmourdock2719]

Take a good look at 24:00 minutes... This is what exhaustion looks like. Exhaustion not suffered, nor even endured, but hard-earned. A toy manufacturer should make an "Itchy Boots" doll ( with a companion "Savannah") to inspire small children to do what others may think impossible but they wish to try. Don't know how many hundreds of episodes of IB I've watched, but this is my favorite just for its demonstration of grit and perseverance. Love, peace, prayers and safety to you Noraly!

[@c150gpilot]

I'm with Richard!

[@IMFResearch]

@@c150gpilot Me, too! I watched an interview of Noraly on the Ongekend Talent Podcast, and I was really impressed! She's quite a young lady! I've watched a couple of other interviews but that one was long enough to delve into her motives and goals in riding the world. Very fine!

A doll of Norally? Good idea. Would be exhausted immediately.

Dirt all over your face, and blackened hands, you are more beautiful than ever! And we can see the speedo; 93 Km/hr on deep rutted sand is unbelievable. You are amazing! All those thousands of miles on terrible roads has given you unbeatable skills. Smallest bike, first place. I've been watching your adventure for years, and I feel like a very proud friend of yours. Go, racey-boots go!

[@zweispurmopped]

Okay, that was the most tired you ever were seen on camera in your entire journeys. 🥺 That day the routine you acquired around the world searching for fuel came in handy. Now I have worked as driver and have sometimes spent over 20 hours behind the wheel, but nothing nearly as physically demanding as riding a bike through such conditions. Can't begin to imagine how demanding that day must have been. I take a deep bow to your effort! 🤗

So what if the rally was a month ago? How does that diminish her accomplishments?

[@joelrdizon]

I just can't wrap my head around how this woman is doing everything she can to improve the odds for her competitors! They have little experience spotting a bootleg petrol station since they never look LIKE petrol stations at all. But before pulling out, Noraly leaves instructions for the fuelers to actually flag down other riders in distress--I suppose just in case they can't figure out that pindrop she already left on the GPS. Simply amazing and..heart-melting, is that right?

I’ve lived on the road for years in an RV and that part of her that has no home and continuously travels is what resonates for me. Whatever, she is just really special!

[@patriciaparker6585]

I am also an 80+ female that knew the first time I saw her that she was a special woman. My adventures are closer to home now. That’s why I let Noraly take me with her.

The little 250cc Honda has come out as a great option to this kind of rally, the fact that you use less fuel than others and manouvre a lighter package as a whole, even with the puncture logistically Savanah is way ahead of its competitors with double the power, even going through that thick sand I saw how well you handled the challenge but again Savanhah has silently been a good partner. Well done Noraly you have certainly come to the party.

Obviously during your normal 'tourist' rides, you ride much more conservative compared to how you attack the track in the Kalahari. Massive respect! I experienced riding like this when riding to The Gambia from The Netherlands on a XT600 in a group for charity (through the sahara from Morroco, Mauretania, Senegal to Gambia). Long days, hard tracks, but rewarding when you're done every day after sometimes 12-14 hours in the sadle. I'm jealous! My girlfriend and me are huge fans, and she doesn't even ride herself (she's a good passenger :) ) but she has a lot of respect for you and how you travel around by yourself.

All the videos I've watched. This ride you did and the tire repair. Total respect to you. Very impressive!!!

[@rockinroxxi3710]

Full Throttle Savannah 😲 You were literally flying on that sand! I felt like I was in a video game. You did so good even with that tire puncture and leaking gas can. We are so proud of you 👏👏👏

Super prestatie weer Noraly, 700 km geweldig en sneller dan de grote jongens op hun grote machines. Jij en Savannah verdienen een hele grote beker. :)

Noraly is so expert at biking🏍that I nominate her to astronaut to the moon and circumnavigate that celestial body. What a joy to witness her athletic drama...passion and drama like has rarely/never been appreciated. Ride on!

Noraly, what you're doing in the Kalahari Rally is just amazing. What an effort in this stage 5, truly impressive and you're doing better than most everyone. I really admire you. Cheers from Chilean Patagonia.

You are an absolute legend! Completely fearless and continually upbeat no matter what is thrown at you, and those skills... Uplifting and life affirming just watching you. You have got me in trouble though, as after a 16 year lay off from riding motorcycles I'm now determined to get a new one and ride the TET though Portugal next summer.

Did you ???😮😊

Got a Benelli 500 Leoncino Trail a few weeks back, off to France on it in August:)

[@seanwilson7334]

Shocking how badly planned the rally is, locked gates, cars going the opposite direction of the bikes and fuel not where it should be. Amazing riding and overcoming the setbacks, well done 👏

[@ws8080]

Same viewpoint I expressed a couple of stages ago. Great job to persevere!

[@millieblu2348]

I lived in India many years ago and think the disorganization of the rally is likely part of the experience of being in Africa. It is what made me feel more alive. Everything is not nice and neat which also allows for a kind of anything goes attitude which can be much more engaging and freeing. So much is sanitized, prettified, and rule dominated in my country (US) . There is a kind of tension to not break the rules that can take all the fun out of life because you are disengaged from the actual moment.

[@bandobandit353]

If you think participating in a rally like this is difficult, you should try organising one ;)

[@seanwilson7334]

@@millieblu2348 I live in South Africa, events that aren't government planned are better run than that.

[@seanwilson7334]

@@bandobandit353 I understand that people errors can happen like forgetting to open the gates and fuel trucks not getting to the locations but cars going in the opposite direction they should have seen that would not work and is very dangerous in the planning before the event.

[@patrolmanracv]

What more can be said Noraly is Superwoman ..Savanna is Super bike ..the best of the best taking us on an unbelievable journey never to be forgotten ..

Noraly at five in the morning: - "I'm going to take it easy today to save some fuel" Noraly a few hours later: - "Come on, go faster Savannaaaaah!!!!!" 🤣

Still laughing when read this comment 🤣

There she is!! KRXX21-5 The big stage has finally arrived.... 800 Klicks, wow, if you don't get lost.. extra 24 klicks, but you filled up. Your stratagies usually are pretty good. GO GO #28.. Beautiful sunrise, riding into the sun. Meeting up to the group, looks like your decesion was a good one... well done. You do such a good ride surfing threw the sand. Less power, more skill. First flat tire... pretty lucky being the first after five stages. Compliments on your hands on.. impressed the little girl watching you. Maybe a future Kalahari rider. Everything topped up... fuel and water. What was that extra plastic bottle by the next make shift tank up... was that used as a funnel. Great how you check on your co-riders ...keep them moving. Bravo Savannah and Frl N passing some bikes. Hope you missed the dog... NO no no, might be better using your horn. Good going found another petrol station... What a massive tank truck. Good going, you made it with all the additional challenges. Good going. Face it, you had a good day. Maybe, could be better... Yep, maybe. Next time.. don't forget to get a gasket for your spare tank. Rest well, ride careful, stay safe. Off to the last stage ...

This time it‘s just a wow!!! Juergen from Hamburg

[@RhinoGaier]

Impressive Stage - Long - Fuel savvy - Some proper sand tracks - Puncture repair - smart planning to get you through without fuel support vehicles. You twisted Savanah's ear and she held up really well. Well done!!!
