IMPORTANT - When I announced in the video when I arrived in Dakar that I would need a break to prepare for the next part of Africa, I also realized I needed to change something to keep my channel running while I travel through some tough parts of world. Please check my full post on Instagram about this topic (@itchybootstravel) but the bottomline is that I will go back to TWO videos per week instead of three. Every Wednesday and Sunday I will release a video from now on ♥️ Let’s go, IT’S TIME FOR AFRICA! 💪

Hello, lets go together once more!!

I am a disabled vet and I have gotten inspiration from watching her and her travels. So much so I recently decided to try and take a trip across America on the national trails with a quad electric recumbent bike . I wish her safe travels and best wishes some of those countries are not that safe in Africa and I hope she stays away from the border with Burk and Mali. Quite a bit of kidnapping for random come along those borders. Nigeria is supposed to not be safe for foreigners either.

Very cool comment

I have the utmost respect and appreciation for a Girl/Woman who wrenches on her own motor bike....!

It was very strange, the many people commenting on your last video wondering where you are.. when you literally told them at the end of the video you were taking a break. did they even watch the video? lol There is also a slew of people who demand that you put out videos all the time, ( without taking breaks ) because their lives are boring while waiting for said videos.. Those people are very cultish.. and are perhaps needing to get an actual life of their own? lol We should be appreciating your riding, storytelling and inspiration re the places you visit.. and then taking such inspiration and applying it to our own lives.. Safe travels ahead chick!

2 quality episodes per week is still a monumental task. Keep safe and ride on😊

The adventure continues! Thanks for taking us along!

It won’t be the same but it’s better than nothing. I always look forward to your videos. Thank you “Itchy Boots “.

Noraly is making a lot of motorcycle shop owners very happy! Rides into town, hands her bike to the shop owner and tells him replace everything! They must be amazed. Who the hell is this crazy woman? Noraly you are a shining star wherever you go! Safe travels young lady!

Also the fact that she is hands on with helping work on her bike in the shoppe she receives much respect there,, In any US the shoppe, they would be worried about their liability insurance or worse damage to their male employees tender macho little ego's having a hands on woman helping R&R on her own machine..Again much respect to The Dakar shoppe and Noraly for being so intimately involved & interactive with the whole experience of motorbiking around this wonderous planet.

Good to see you back👍🏻 One tough bike and one tough girl🤗

Bello Noraly, welcome back. We missed you but what is important is that we hope you had a good rest. Take care, Cape Town, South Africa.

Brave, courageous lady doing this all on your own. I've enormous respect and appreciation for your effforts. Having traveled overland through Africa back in 2001/2, these a LOT of admin, planning and vehicle issues to address to make one's life easier, and safer. Wishing you a fantastic, smooth ride ahead Noraly! Blessings always 🙏 ✨

I’ve missed you so much, and been worried about your welfare, we love you and your adventures !❤❤

Thanx to you now I know a reliable workshop for my KTM whenever I pop up in Senegal 😉😉

We are so happy to see you again Noraly and by the looks of you, the break had done you good. Alaska is definitely thanking you for the TLC. If you are ready, we are too, for that next leg of the adventure....

I'm so glad to see you Noraly. Next time you changing your oil , make sure the engine is hot. Never change oil when is cold.

This subscriber, along with I’m sure tens of thousands of others missed your intelligent, informative, personable and just plain old likable self. That section getting to Dakar had to have had your mind going at warp speed. Glad you took time to collect your thoughts, get necessary maintenance done, so that you can enjoy the next part of your journey with confidence. Welcome Back 🙌🏻

Well said ~ she is our girl, filled with determination!

Watching Noraly herself servicing parts of Alaska ie change the engine oil etc I won’t be surprised when Noraly has completed/satisfied with her travels on planet earth, she will be having her own Honda dealership across Europe. With professional advice not only which bike to buy for would be bikers, what documents to prepare, which country and what to look for. Noraly has it all. I’m 74 now and I wish to see her bigger succes, hopefully before my creator calls me back.

Welcome back, Boots! So happy to have your company once again. I think that all of your fans fully understand cutting the video output to twice a week is the correct and safest thing to do. It will also reduce your workload and allow you to relax and enjoy your adventure a bit more! Let's Go!!!!!

HAPPY TO SEE AGAIN AFTER LITTLE BREAK

As many have said, WE MISSED YOU! Now that Alaska is ready and hopefully you got some much needed rest, let the adventure continue!

Honda should name this off-road bike 'Honda Noraly'

I can't wait for this trip to start. Love your channel.

We missed you so much Noraly! Welcome back

Welcome back Noraly, we all missed you. And I agree with you knocking it down to two days a week. Maybe it will give you a little more time to enjoy the moment you find yourself in.

Now something worth watching. Better than Netflix and all those silly superhero movies here the adventurers are real.

So good to see you again! I need my Itchy Boots fix!

With all that traffic, I can see why they have a lot of speed bumps. Nice to have a motorcycle shop available to do some needed matinence work.

I must admit, I checked your home page a few times making sure I hadn't missed a notification. I'm glad you took the time to rest. Good to see you back

I recall a time in India when Noraly started her journey and didn’t seem to know the business end of a wrench. Now, she looks like a pro mechanic assisting in maintenance work on Alaska. Total growth.

Honda should at the end of your trip take your bike and put it in a museum and then give you a new one. The reliability of Honda is very good and you Noraly are a excellent ambassador for them.

Thanks Noraly you’re awesome 👍🏻😎🇺🇸🏍️

Been looking forward to another Itchy Boots video! Thanks Noraly for the best adventure channel on KZread! Much love to everyone and their families from Cedar City Utah USA currently 🤠💪🙏🏵️🤠

Good to see you again! I've missed these little doses of internationality.

Oh, so happy to see Noraly again!!! Yes, Alaska needed some tender loving care and thank goodness for that Dakar shop and his crew, they were awesome. Now that Alaska is back on the road again, we are ready for the next leg of the journey and as voracious as we are to see Noraly's videos, we are adjusting to having two videos a week. That means that we will be giving Noraly time to do her traveling, but also time to collect, edit and post the videos and all will be dependent on good internet reception. So Itchy Booters, let's be patient with our Noraly. GO ITCHY BOOTS, GO ... 🏍🏍🏍

And we are off again!… I mean Noraly is off and we are enjoying keeping her company on her travels. Such an adventure even in the cheering section Noraly! Looking forward to seeing the new video posts on Wednesday and Sunday and this should be plenty. Take good care of yourself and Alaska and enjoy your travels which I can tell are often far from easy. ❤

Noraly, I am glad you are back, looking forward to more of your travels. Since I have been riding for over 50+ yrs, have raced motocross, cross country, little flat track, and lots of trial riding, was a mechanic, service mgr, parts mgr in the Honda business for a few yrs, I would like to make a suggestion if you don't mind. Your oil looked very black and dirty, and since you ride in a lot of the time in rough conditions, I would HIGHLY suggest you change your oil & filter, and air filter way more often. I know the Honda book probably says you can go for many miles/Km but, If it was me in your type riding, I would change the oil & filter probably every 4k-5k miles or as close as you can. Oil and filters are cheap compared to a new engine, and do watch your coolant. I know, and you do to, that we don't want you to have you have any problems out on the trial, or road, or desert, or swamp. Did I cover them all...lol. Glad you are back, ride safe. It seems that there are a lot of problems in the south of that continent , so do stay safe. I know and a few of my friends would really miss you, so as an old guy, like a father image be safe. And remember if kick stand is down it will not start if in gear, like most every Honda I have been around. I also want to say you run in that traffic like a pro, it would drive me nuts. Later, STOCKY

So happy to have our Noraly back! I hope you and Alaska feel rejuvenated! I know Alaska is a happy girl with all the new goodies and fluids. Amazing planning for the next leg. I’m glad you are going to try to slim down the workload...notice I said “try”. Looking forward to all the new adventures ahead with our favorite You Tuber at the helm. Let’s Go!

thank you visiting my country !! am of your senegalese follower , keep going and be safe. we love youu🥰🥰

The absolute highlight of my day I’ve followed you on every season you’ve shown me the world I will never see as I had a stroke last year and travel is a distant dream so I thank you for sharing your wonderful journeys you make my days a little bit easier and show me wonders I can only dream about xx keep going lovrelyblass much love from Scotland xx

Welcome back Noraly!! Madu did a great job servicing Alaska in preparing for your next adventure.. I'm sure you can handle whatever challenges lies ahead given your great track record and adventurous spirit. Looking forward to the next video. Be safe. God Bless.

Hi! About your new tires in 09:57 these are my favorite tires! I ride with Trackers third year and they are perfect for all off-road conditions: wet grass, muddy roads, hard stones, aslo sand (but I have no desert experience) Only week side is, they does not last long, for my riding style ~2000km max for the rear! I’m ride with Husqarna 701! Good luck with your journey!!! Drive safe!

Missed you so much! Wonderful to have you back. I've lived in South Africa for over 40 years now and have traveled to various African countries, my heart is in my mouth at the thought of you traveling the horn by yourself, please please be safe, love of God be with you xx

Welcome back Noraly, and yes we are still here, we definitely don´t want to miss your awesome adventures😊

Every time I see you helping in servicing Alaska I am reminded of a poster in an auto shop I visited several years ago. Labor rate $100 an hour, if you watch $150 an hour, if you help $200 an hour. Brings a big smile!

Nice to see your back and getting your hand dirty. Keep an eye on that coolant. Not a good sign being that low. As always stay safe cheers

Welcome, welcome Noraly!! We've missed you so much. You look amazing and well rested.❤ Honestly this is always the fastest 20 minutes!! Time with you goes way too fast! Thank you and stay safe.❤

Great to be back looking through Noraly's lense, always an amazing story unwrapping before our eyes. Michelin is supposed to be a good brand of tires, so I'm sure is going to be an awesome ride, as always!!! Can't wait!!! Go Noraly!!! ❤

I've been very curious about your bike setup. Thanks for a behind the scene vlog that gave more of idea what your riding with.

Woohoo Itchy Boots & Alaska! Noraly, so happy you're doing well & ready for the next leg of this epic African Adventure! Much love, guidance & protection always. 🏆🙌💚😁✨🔥🔥🔥

Congratulations Noraly on getting the big service sorted successfully on Alaska and we are of course all glad to be riding with you again even if only from our lounge chairs. Just a couple of things while I think of them, WHY, we’re you running ..so ..low, on Coolant..? 🧐 Surely Alaska has a Coolant Overflow bottle connected to her Radiator which SHOULD, catch ALL, of the ‘expansion’ Coolant that is expelled from the Radiator when it is running hot, and then return it all, into the Radiator again, via Vacuum suction, when Alaska cools down again, and so you should ALWAYS have very, very, minimal, losses of any Coolant in that fully ‘sealed-Coolant-system’…?? 🧐 The fact that you had lost so much Coolant now has me worried that you might actually have a ‘Leak’ happening somewhere in your bike’s ‘sealed’ Cooling System..?? 😳 And secondly, as you are finding a lot of the very fine sand inside your fuel tank, and it is clogging up your fuel pumps filter, I makes me ask, why, are you not, already using a very fine mesh, fuel-filtering-‘Sock’ that just fits inside of your fuel tank’s filler cap hole, and which would then ‘capture’ all of that fine sand and grit, ..inside of it, as you refill your tank, each time, and thus allow you to then just pull out the filter ‘sock’ when the tank is full, and then turn it inside out and empty all of that fine sand and grit out of it, instead of it ending up inside your tank..? 🧐 And just further on that point, are you also, running an external, disposable, inline-fuel-filter in your fuel line between the tank’s PetCock, and the bike’s Fuel-Injection Manifold, to capture any fine grit that does manage to get through the tank’s fuel pump filter and then end up heading for your fuel injection system..? That is a very cheap, and a very, valuable, ‘last-line-of-defence’ against fuel injection failure, happening, somewhere, miles from anywhere, in the ..deepest, ..darkest, heart of Africa..! 🙄

So nice to see you back please be safe Africa is a dangerous continent ❤❤❤

Willkommen zurück, Noraly. Ich war schon sehr gespannt darauf, wieder was von Dir zu hören und zu sehen.

Good to see you back Noraly, we were worried!

Hi Norlay...just a thought...you find sand inside your fuel tank. ...a tank breathes as fuel leaves its replaced by air coming in from outside. If you find where..you could put a filter cloth or a fuel filter in line of the breathing pipe..enjoy.

Noraly, you bring happiness to people like us who love to ride motorcycle and for any reason we don’t go step forward

Glad your back and giving alaska a service and clean, good luck with all the borders coming your way. Stay safe

Being a man, I'm always amazed at how you can talk so well while riding in traffic. I would be struggling to concentrate on what I'm saying and where I'm going. You're a testament to a woman's superior multi-tasking ability.

I am so glad that you were able to get Alaska ready for the next leg of your epic journey. We await the next episode with a sense of new adventures on the horizon. Safe travels always.

It’s great to have you back on your journey and Alaska got some TLC. Oh my traffic there seems chaotic. Safe travels Noraly as we wait for the next videos. Take care ❤

So happy your back!❤

So glad to have you back, hope you are well rested and wishing you a safe and wondrous journey further.

I appreciate you showing the paperwork and prep that goes into these rides, because while I'm sure it's the most fun in your life doing the riding, it's also SO MUCH WORK. I appreciate the videos though, and keep it up!

In Europe, we're used to traffic lights, road markings, signposts, etc; these roads have none, so everyone has to be completely aware and ready to give way or move forward depending on an immediate, continual, and subconscious, dynamic risk assessment ! It seems safer !

Hey Itchy Boots! Welcome back to the channel! Glad everything is sorted! What !You didn’t stop for fresh bread? I’m shocked! Great catch on the camera mount! So excited to continue this journey with you Let’s go Itchy Boots!!

I'm happy to see you have everything sorted out with Alaska, visas, etc., and are ready to resume your adventure - and take all of us along with you!!

Nice to see you back on track 😊 Look forward to next posting 👍 Take care...

I found your channel maybe two years ago while I was planning a cycling trip across South America. Now that I've finished that trip, I've been bingeing your other videos to get new ideas for bike trips. And to be honest I'm impressed that you post videos even twice a week, I was trying to keep a blog on my bike trip and was often too exhausted at the end of the day to even keep a little journal! Videos are so much work! But I'm glad that you make them, it's been fun to watch your journeys.

Yay Noraly, getting your bike completely serviced, getting you some r and r and laying out your agenda for the next few weeks! We’re ready for your next adventure!
