[S1 - Eps. 83] CROSSING INTO KAZAKHSTAN

[@tumanskychikov7255]

5:52 the border guards gave you a salute . that's reserved for officers only and royalty civilian side . so they have huge respect for you . and those Russian bikers are just jealous that a Lady has done traveling then they will do in their lifetime

[@ger13nunyah56]

tumansky chikov , Full respect for her

[@ricrider4152]

yep, full respect from the men in uniform....

[@pyrodoll2422]

Just what I was thinking, and she wasn't riding a BMW, how dare anyone travel the world on a bike that didn't cost £20k 😆

[@mumblesbadly7708]

I think the Russians weren’t friendly to Noraly because Putin’s regime has villianized non-Russian Europeans because of the majority of EU nations don’t recognize Russia’s bullying of Ukraine and quasi-occupation of some of its territory, which at time included eastern areas of Donbas and Crimea.

[@kenhoward3512]

A funny thought: You mentioned the unfriendly Russian bikers, and I (plus possibly hundreds of your other followers) immediately thought, "How dare they be unfriendly to our Noraly!" You now have 90,000+ friends around the world.

[@RuturajVartak]

they might never even cover a 10th of distance in their lifetime - what our Noraly would complete in her journey

[@markcohen9105]

As of mid January 2020, that number is now up to 327,000 friends around the world. RE is braindead if they don't sponsor her. Let's hope they don't make the same mistake that KTM made with Charlie and Ewan.

[@paxwallacejazz]

Yeah!

[@MrTarmonbarry]

Regarding the Russian bikers , its not that they are not friendly,. its just their nature to be very reserved until they know you better , usually if you just pass small talk they loosen up and will become some of your best friends given time . They almost always look knd of glum or miserable but its just normal for them , its the same in Ukraine , some look the same way but you talk to nthem and they are very friendly and helpful . if she had had the time to drink coffee with them i think her impression would have been different but hopefully she will meet other Russians and get a better impression of them .

[@MrTarmonbarry]

@VolDep45 Take a look at a map and see where they are in relation to Russia , quite a distance

[@Old_Man_Rubik]

Those Bikers are the typical BMW 1200 Fan boys who drive to Starbucks for a Latte and talk about all the Adventures they WILL NEVER DO.......You are a true Adventurer!!!!

[@KARMAkazeMoto]

@DexMeister Ha! Yup, I'd like to think true moto adventurers through-and-through (of any brand) would always befriend a fellow rider. My guess is they were snubbing her for the ride. Shameful.

[@KARMAkazeMoto]

@DexMeister as we say in the U.S., keeping up with the Joneses I guess. I'm for travel! Of course if I had boat loads of money I might do the expensive bike AND travel. 🤔 Eh, who am I kidding? If I had boat loads of money I'd keep my budget bike, travel more, and contribute to foreign aid projects. 😁

[@Old_Man_Rubik]

She has the perfect bike for the terrain she's encountering. I would prefer it over a massive 1200cc bike .

[@toothlessseer3153]

Those BMWs need a whole repair van _(filled with expensive spare parts)_ for such a journey. Far better to have a simple, rugged bike _(with fewer things that can go wrong),_ which require just small set of spare parts & that can be repaired easily. Having said that, I am quite impressed with that Enfield. The only thing that went wrong with it was the clutch plate. _Reminds me of this ancient Enfield I used to ride as a kid, it spent most of the year rusting in a garage but would still come to life (after a herculean effort at kick-starting it)_

[@robertthedutchguy4365]

@DexMeister Maybe there are mortgages to be paid.

[@doughopkins2934]

Hi Noraly, your Adventures are certainly clocking up the miles and the smiles. Thanks again for sharing your videos. Great to see these rarely seen countries.

[@KOTDM1988]

The (probably) unintentional cinematography of your conversation with the Kyrgyzstani border guard, with his face in your mirror - is absolutely excellent.

[@Lawson8489]

Traffic officer wanted to give you fine, because you didn't stop "stop" traffic sign, but he didn't speak English and just let you go. Hahaha

[@goranvuletic8873]

The same trick is used in Ukraine. They put a small, old and rugged stop sign on a completely open road, no barriers or anything to suggest that one should slow down, let alone stop, and then they act as if you committed a huge crime. Luckily I always got away.

[@marcoluoma3770]

4:00 Her smiles... This is so clever (not saying it isnt natural or genuine, but ALSO clever). I've gotten unorthodox easier passes due to being nice to the border guards. It really can make a huge difference. It's all in how you treat them.

[@thefarsideoftherails7415]

[@Nemo_IRL]

Hello from Florida, USA. I'm amazed at all the places were the people speak such good English. I did not expect this.

[@mecima]

Part of the journey is to realize bikers also suffer from tribal mentality, get more than 4 together all of a sudden everyone else is an outsider or intruder, hence I prefer to ride alone or with only a couple of friends and why I enjoy your journey with your can do attitude. Keep smiling.

[@mecima]

@Rata 4U just proved my point, now all russians are bad? good people help, biker or not, rude and tribal ones presume to be judgmental and superior whether they help or not.

[@chuckvt5196]

Such an awesome adventure. The border guards saluting you may me smile so much! Rest up a bit, and get Basanti back in tip top shape!! Take care of Basanti, and she will take care of you!

[@cubicsquare8641]

This is my first ever comment on youtube or on any other channels. During this pandemic layoff I've started to binge watch S2 from beginning to the last episode. Then went back to S1 to continue until this eps 83. And I must say what a wonderful journey it has been through all the episodes. A virtual journey to all the wonderful places in this world rarely seen on TVs, internet. it's an exhilarating experience to say the least as if I am actually the one wearing the helmet. The choice of background music adds to the excitement and thrills throughout the journey although I wanted to hear more of the roars of Basanti and Dhanno. Now it got me interested in motorbikes though I've never ever drove one in my entire life. I'm past 60 but I think its not yet too late though:). Thank you Itchy Boots and wish you all the best of health during this time of crisis.

[@inkjob12]

I so love your videos. Whats different your videos is that you are taking us to places that most of the Moto Travel videos do not go. You are showing us a part of the world that very few of us will ever see. Stuck up Russian Moto travelers !!!....there loss. Here they had a chance to meet a famous You Tube traveler and they decide not to be friendly. You said when you were young was the last time you stayed in a dorm hostel...Say What !!!...Norlay...you STILL are young. Stay safe out there and Im looking forward to seeing the rest of your adventures...LOL

[@ianb2877]

Good trails, great scenery. Enjoy Kazakhstan, take care of yourself and Basanti x

[@roadwarrior8560]

I'd like to think those fantastic local people you meet and those great border guards will some day get a chance to see your videos and see from the comments how much the people appreciate kind and friendly people like them, those Russian bikers are the opposite of everything that's so great about the ordinary people you meet, you deserve a salute wherever you go Noraly, you are a class act for sure.

*Head's up!* You managed to capture something quite *rare* on 6:59, the border crossing. Golf MK2 Country is quite the collector car these days, the bright green color is spot on and it's lifted. It may be the real thing, because 4wd is actually really handy with small cars. While in Kasakh, you can ask the locals there about Dimash, he is famous all over the world now.

I crossed that same border at least 20 times. Always something new with those borders guards, as a US passport holder; they tend to TRY many new rules. But the fun part is that drive from the border to Almaty, so awesome. Thank you Noraly for bringing back those fun memories; I wonder when I will be back there crossing it again. Cheers'

Great journey ! Ride safe! Your smile is fantastic and you are a real person! and a true biker!

In Russia little children will be told off for smiling. Russians say too much smiling is a sign of insanity . So don`t be too harsh on the Russians . Wonderful videos . Thankyou . One year later and I just watched the first satellite launch from Cornwall which will be used instead of Kazakhstan because of the Ukraine war, So this film may become a historical document. Well done Noraly .

As I understood it, the people of Kazakhstan are in fact Turkic, and the meaning of the name essentially "free people" :) Oh, re language, just reached the part where you had lived there for a year :) and then lol a Range Rover? Wow, sooo modern! The Hostel's are REALLY secured! I never got to Almaty, the Soviets had a lot of military/space program bases (and still do) in Kazakhstan so everything was a low profile as I could get :) I continue to marvel at the advancements made in that part of the old USSR :) Seer
