My motorcycle and I get an absolute beating in the highlands of GUINEA 🇬🇳 |S7E38|
In this episode, I am riding into the Fouta Djallon Highlands of Guinea. It feels like I entered Jurassic park - I am blown away by these landscapes. Trying to cross these plateaus turns out to be extreme rock riding and I ride over 100 kilometers of rocks!! My motorcycle is getting a real beating, but I hope it's all worth it - wait till you see where I end up in part 2 of this ride, in the next episode...

She was just a thrill seeker, when she feel the adrenaline pumping out, it makes her enormous joy and satisfaction with her ride. Just like when she ride at Baja Rally where pain are nothing compare to the joy of riding she feel.. She really an awesome lady rider !

The greatest adventurer of the 21st century! Her bravery is incredible.
Noraly has an amazing ability to connect so well with the viewer. I was so entrenched in the video, it was as if I was there.....so much that I caught myself waving to a passing motorcycle! Somehow even with very limited electricity Noraly finds a way keep the laptop, drone, and camera batteries charged, editing and posting videos. Just spectacular scenery! Thank you for the continuing education classes Noraly. And give Alaska a hug for me! Peace ❤❤❤

There's one thing better - riding on your own! Noraly made me to travel to Morocco and now I'm infected by that virus ;-)
It's really cool that as Noraly's channel has grown, people all over the world recognize her as she rides by.
I love mountains. This episode makes me wish for another lifetime. ❤️ To visit those Highlands. I'm not likely to get it done in mine but I'm thankful to get to see it through her camera at least.
A beating but not beaten ! This is Itchy we are talking about and nothing stands in her way for long !
Keep on Noraly, we all love you as you show us the world through your eyes and strugles, pains, joy and wonders....gratitude and respect😊
That "road" gives a whole new meaning to the term of 'taking the beaten path'. What totally awesome scenry though and with great drone views of it. Thanks for taking us along on your adventure. You are one very amazing Lady!
Your joy in this episode shows how you love nature and the simple things in life.
Another day at the office for Itchy Boots! What an amazing "job" she has. Ride safe Noraly and keep well.
Shaken but not stirred , Rising to the challenge is the character that drives you to heights beyond . You never fail too amaze to take us too places most dont know exist let alone dream of tackling as you have . THANK YOU for being who you are !
Every episode you get to see a beautiful part of the planet you would never get to see. With a very realistic perspective on the realities of life there.
Thank you so much for the drone footage . Nothing else can show how awesome the area is you are riding through . What a rough ride over the rocks . I loved it when you apologized to Alaska . What a great ride and thankfully no T Rex!

Beautiful scenery. Thanks for the arial views. Travel safely and keep the videos rolling. We all appreciate your energy and talents.
Apart from Noraly's own high level of physical fitnees and stamina, I'm amazed how that little single cylinder 300cc Honda engine just keeps on going no matter what...... from South America to Alaska, then from Spain to halfway down Africa !

Stunning, spectacular landscapes and drone views! WOW! Thank you for sharing! I would love hearing you commenting the geology of such gorgeous places! Some stretches of the road are truly awful😬🙄😵💫
Watching Noraly videos has taught me that people get along just fine Its the governments and powerful people that start wars,I find it interesting that Noraly manages to get along with almost every body she encounters even if they don't have A common language and nations with the most sophisticated communications can't or does not want to.
It’s great to get to ride (fly) along with you and learn so much about the local culture and geography! Your drone footage make me feel like we’re flying with you! It certainly brings the landscape into perspective! Ride safe Noraly!
What a beautiful ride. What you must see when you close your eyes at night.... having traveled to all these beautiful places
Noraly’s visual images of the many towns-villages that she goes through reminds us that it’s relatively the same all over the world, ie. Guest rooms, eateries, gas stations (or gas people) minus the automobiles on the dirt roads that Noraly prefers to ride on… and I don’t blame her, traffic and the possibility of crazy drivers is not what Noraly wants to encounter … Noraly’s solo rides are simply beautiful because she can concentrate on the road, giving us the amazing footage and historical narrative … simply amazing that Noraly is always excited looking forward to her next rest stop (and we are all happy that she ends her video at a guest house…)
Unbelievable drone shots ❤️ Looks like a lost city/ country AMAZING Definitely makes me want to go .. Thank you as always Noraly 🥰
Noraly, my arms are hurting just watching what you went through on this leg of your journey. Amazed at your stamina.

I watch your videos with my mother and she says that the color of the dirt in this part of Africa reminds her of her mother’s rancho in Colorada, Mexico. It’s named Colorada because of the red color of the dirt there. I hope Alaska fared well with the roadside petrol 🙏🏼And stunning drone footage in today’s episode, thank you Noraly ❤️
At last, I’m all caught up! It’s been a long journey from season 1 but at last I’m up to date with all the videos and what a brilliant journey it’s been. I’m so glad I found Noraly’s channel. ❤️
Hi Noraly, what a beautiful ride today, all that greenery and the drone footage was awesome, thanks for letting us be your pilion on your adventure. The more difficult the more the smile and even Alaska who does nof understand a word gets a "sorry Alaska" . Can't wait for the next episode. Be safe out there and God Bless.

What great words William! I bet Noraly talks to Alaska a lot more than we see. I talk to my motorcycle especially in the face of challenges. I've commented numerous times about her humbleness. Such a wonderful trait and contributor to how admired she is around the world. No matter what country and people, no one likes a big ego. Peace from the USA
...it brings always a smile to my face when Norlay with her sweet dutch accent says: "oh...potholes" 😊 stay safe🍀
Wow, masterful riding skills on display here, Noraly! Where you remark on how tough the going is and finish with a little giggle is exactly where I would be bemoaning my bad luck to have chosen such a route. Small wonder you are feeling the physical effects of that rough terrain, truly gruelling for sure. Again, so happy for you to see how much fun you’re having. Beautiful video from the drone and your ‘GO-PRO’. You are truly one-of-a-kind, Noraly, I just can’t wait for your next video, wishing you continued success and happiness…❤❤❤Rick

6:48. Back in 1997 I had the honor of staying with the Mabunda family in that property to the left. I had to camp in a tent because there was no room in the hut, but they treated me like family for the entire 2 weeks I was there. What a GREAT experience.
Thank you,so much! For sharing your passion with us. Your passion give us the opportunity to know places, people,their culture. It's beautiful. My gratitude 🙏🙏🙏
5 years on and the journey continues! Props to this idol of mine. It's like we get to live vicariously through your adventures! I'm glad I get to explore my country on two wheels, which is pretty huge for me! But you are next level! Cheers!
Now THAT was hard work....and there is more to come !!!! Amazing motorcycle skills and amazing scenery.....what a journey !!!!
you are one hell off a rider Noraly !
They grow, rice, fonio (a crabgrass cereal), corn (maize), oil palm, coffee, and kola nuts, so its most likely one of these listed, what a beautiful lush area.
Holy moly! That really is a proper beating! 😳 😵💫 But a lovely view indeed while your vertebrae get rattled through your brain and back into their place. And lovely peeps and lovely Noraly and adventure! This day was made on behalf of Itchy Boots! 🤗😍
I am glad you did lots of drone footage for this trip. It was beautiful! 👍
You are one tough cookie, my lady. Keep on keeping on. God speed. And thank you for the stunning views of Nature at its most generous.
Thank you, Noraly, for those wonderful landscapes. They make gorgeous computer wallpaper.
Your reflections on the available electricity of a town and "Jurassic Park" scenery I can feel through my bones, and I am far, far away. Ride Well!
Sensational - I can only imagine how tough that ride must have been and poor Alaska took a beating! But the drone photography lends some spectacular views and also puts into perspective the landscape Noraly is traveling through ... that escarpment is huge!!! Wow - The waterbowl of Western Africa🤩 GO ITCHY BOOTS, GO ... 🏍🏍🏍

I was watching this and thinking how much I worried about our Noraly when she was in South America and how little I have been worrying about her in West Africa. I wonder why that is? SO MUCH ADVENTURE!
And finally, the waiting is over..thanks for the videos..we get to know more places in africa..❤❤
That difficult road at times at least rewards with stunning scenery, this great journey continues. Thanks for taking us along once again..😎🍺
Rockey Road Ahead and Noraly is over joyed! Beautiful drone views of another amazing amazing part of Africa.
The drone footage is always amazing but today's was spectacular! Thank you for your travels and for sharing them with us.
Such beautiful scenery even thought it was a rough and rocky ride. I hope poor old Alaska has been holding up alright in the rough terrain. Have many more smooth and safe adventures Noraly.
So thankful for you today Noraly...❤ Thank you, thank you, thank you!! ❤
The moment Noraly sees trails like this, she is like YESSS!!! 😃
Beautiful drone footage. 💗 and you sounds so joyful and happy to be back in the mountainous regions. …in your happy place. Thank you for sharing with us.
The Journey Continues! Enjoy your ride!
Love the views and drone shots. Amazing country. What a bumpy ride but with views. Be safe!
Thanks for bringing me along, Noraly! The plateaus and the dramatically beautiful cliffs along with the greenery are stunning! The drone shots of the cliffs - amazing! Those tracks look like so much fun! I have gone back to watch the first five seasons that I missed (picked you up in season 6 when you were near me in California. A friend in Germany sent the link then that got me addicted to Itchy Boots adventuring. Now in season 7, I anticipate Wednesdays and Sundays! So awesome and your production is the best! And Alaska is serving you well - great bike. See you Sunday!
we live with you an extraordinary virtual journey, your smile and your capital really. Morroco❤
12:05 the green landscape is so beautiful! Your videos are worthy of National Geographic
You deserved that incredible scenery Noraly, riding that rocky road looked very painful indeed! Poor Alaska took a real beating, I hope you gave her a good checkover after that insane road! What an amazing ride though, truly spectacular👌The people are so nice also👍
Equally as amazing as the views is the sound of the little Honda that just kept putting along!
Che pista MERAVIGLIOSA sugli Altopiani, ma molto faticosa per te, immagino. In ogni modo sei un carroarmato, e nessuno ti ferma. Grazie per bellissime immagini, specialmente quelle riprese dal drone.

WOW!! Such a beautiful home our Creator has given us to enjoy. That was quite a workout!! Great job of riding and film editing 👍👍👍😎
Absolute perfect timing on rainy season avoidance for this day! All the boxes were definitely checked for an adventure riding day...mystery fuel, mountains, jungle, extreme rocky trails, friendly people, and excellent drone footage! Such a joy to see that the things such as no electricity and running water does not deter happiness in the people. Outstanding video Noraly!
Beautiful country, as for that road, at least the dust isn't an issue.
Excellent ride! 99% of us will never ride the back roads! Thank you for taking us with you! I Always enjoy your adventures!
At least you got through while it was dry! No fuel. No electricity. I hope that we all can remain resilient and happy when the shortages hit us all.
OMGosh Noraly ! You are incredibly lucky and fearless. So happy to be able to ride along with you on this journey and share in your enthusiasim. . Love the drone ! 😊😊😊😊😊😊
Wow Noraly what a super duper series this is on the West side of Africa, from desert to grassland, river crossings, rocks and mountain roads.... Awesome scenery and good people. Thanks again for the journey and all the episodes that make a great story👍👍👍🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

Another fabulous day riding with you in Guinea, with the beauty of eagle eye drone views green forests below, along a exceedingly rough and bumpy path/road. No dust today. God save your body. 👍 ❤
Its amazing how most of the roads are quiet and Noraly is negotiating them alone with aplomb! Wonderful
Incredible, I was awestruck after those first drone shots! My soul feels refreshed once more, thanks Noraly. :)
Paradise! Such beauty! From the people to the dense greenery to the rocky terrain!! Safe travels, Noraly!
I posted earlier that I was glad to see Noraly back on the road or what could called bad roads and trails. Don’t get me wrong, I love the information, the geology and great landmarks. I love the sense of adventure. I ride motorcycles here in East Tennessee, but here I ride on we'll paved secondary roads or back roads. I would comment more but sense I watch the videos on my smart TV it is not an option with opening the videos on my computer. The travels by Noraly are superb, hardly any come close while maintaining a sense of pure adventure.
So many of us still with you but kind of speechless! What can be said except we don’t follow other moto riders but our Noraly and she never fails to grip our attention.
Such an iconic episode. One of those episodes I'm waiting from moment to moment to see "Lion the king" cartoon characters start dancing and singing the jungle song😊. Well done, very nice episode.
Wow, Noraly, now that's a rough and rocky trail!!!😂 Those beautiful drone shots are magnificent!!! Lots of love from Gene in Tennessee.
A country full of lots of nature and beautiful landscapes, and excellent people, thanks for taking us to continue learning a little more about Africa.
I long ago retired from my motorcycle after 10 intense years of riding throughout Arizona and New Mexico -- and I never encountered rocky roads like that, and I'm glad I didn't. Kudos to Noraly for hanging in there. Some wonderful footage!
Noraly, I’ve just re-watched the video you made at Christmas 2020 when you rode around Utrecht giving out little presents ‘just because’. Anyone reading this should search out that video because it shows a touching side of Noraly that is just so sweet. What I can’t understand is why we’re stuck on 1.68 million subscribers, surely anyone who sees Noraly on her adventures will be drawn to her adventures and outstanding video presentations.
