Hay Noraly just to give you a small but of Advice your bike was submerged in water you need to take your seat off and go pull every Fuse out of the fuse box and dry them as they will corrode very fast and may cause them to blow on you leaving you stranded . Make sure you dry the fuses and blow into the fusebox to get asmuch moisture out and your water in the tank don't let your tank get to low or it will suck all that water in and you will have a helish time trying to get it out of the combustion chamber . Get your tank down to quater way and pull the fuel lines and drain it or siphon it all out and put fresh fuel in from your fuel bag Stay safe and I have been waiting for this episode
@@RynoLeGrange well its advice that she can take and save for later expeditions that could help her from falling victim to the dreaded burnt out fusebox problem that can happen
@@RynoLeGrangethanks for your information , that is what l would have done first , water is heavier than water and it is easy to drain out . She will get your message later and know what to do the next time
Honestly I've learnt more about Africa from Itchy Boots (and Hardest Geezer) than from any news network. They show the reality of everyday life, the hardships but also the joys. How people are innately good and helpful. I would never have imagined being enthralled by footage of someone waiting in line at a gas station. So thank you for changing perceptions simply by allowing people to see day to day life across this magnificent continent.
Noraly- I have seen EVERY episode you have ever made- clear back to S1 Ep1. This episode is your all time best! You editing skills rival famous Hollywood film studios! You are an AMAZING woman with many abilities! We all love you!
Hey Noraly. You can add isopropyl alcohol 70% or higher to your gas to remove water. Water mixes with the alcohol and allows it be burned during combustion. Love your channel. I can't ride anymore. Had a bad motorcycle accident. Broke my back and a few other limbs. Had to learn to walk again. But watching you ride brings me joy. I miss riding my bike. Be safe out there...😊
Generally, I’d agree with you, it’s a beautiful continent, however, once you get into the depths of the Congo jungle all you can see is a wall of tall trees on both sides of the road and it’s pretty dull. I can understand why Noraly covered 1300km in just one episode.
I was describing your latest adventure to my grown boys. I told them how I love your tenacity, your courage, your bravery, your resourcefulness, your kindness, your smile, your playfulness, your positive attitude. You are a woman for all times! Continue inspiring us Noraly. You make our world a better place❤
Never thought I"d see the day Noraly would appreciate 1300 km of tarmac. But ahhhh, the break from chaos was so well deserved. I think Alaska was ok with it too!
Hello Noraly, It has been years since I started following your travels, and I must say, I'm absolutely captivated by your adventurous spirit and passion for exploration. Your content is invaluable to me; through your videos, I'm transported to places around the globe that I may never have the chance to visit myself. Your dedication and fearlessness are truly admirable, and I want to express my heartfelt admiration for your incredible work. Above all, your courage, passion, determination, politeness, and professionalism are truly remarkable. You are an inspiration to many, and I applaud you for your extraordinary achievements. Kudos to you!"/Gemunu
@@lucindavillarreal2676 Thank you so much for your kind words! It means a lot to me to know that my thoughts of Noraly is resonated with you!. It's truly uplifting to know that there are friends out there who share similar feelings and perspectives❤🙏
I'm from the Republic of Congo, currently residing in Namibia. I eagerly awaited this episode to see my country through your travel adventure. Thank you, Noraly, for showcasing my country once again! Your determination to ride 1300 kilometers through the Republic of Congo despite challenges like unpredictable weather and motorcycle mishaps is truly commendable. Your resilience in the face of adversity reflects the adventurous spirit of our nation, where individuals like you embrace challenges with courage and perseverance. Despite setbacks, your journey symbolizes the indomitable nature of the Congolese people. Wishing you safe travels and smooth roads ahead as you continue to explore and discover new experiences along the way.
weather and mishaps are the least of her worries. and don't pretend I'm wrong. If she was driving through inclement weather in a safer country, this series wouldn't be nearly as compelling. In Africa she has been harassed and extorted and scammed. You couldn't pay me to visit the congo. But I'll watch someone else risk their safety LOL
Such a wonderful adventure with you, the producer, director, camera person and narrator. I find nothing on traditional media that competes with what you give us over and over again.
@@WillysPerformanceCycleCtr The first thing is about riding a bike, the second is the freedom of the open road, it is like a drug, once you get it you can not give it up. She is amazing!
Thank you Noraly for sharing this amazing continent Africa is. It is impossible not to fall in love with every country you visited there. The splendor of Mother Nature and the splendor of the African people's kindness, hospitality, resourcefulness, beauty, and strength. The parts of your videos I love the most are your interactions with the locals. What a pleasure meeting all of them through your lens. You have shown the very best from people and for that, I am so grateful!
The best message we see on Noraly trips is how complete random strangers at times help Noraly to fix her problems along the journey. Shows that there are a lot of great compassionate humans out there. We are seeing on social media at times bad things but this video series always uplifts me to think there are super great people worldwide. Noraly provides all of us with hope and shows we must be kind to each other
Congratulations Alaska & Noraly, 60,000kms together and still going strong! A remarkable duo, notwithstanding the real beatings you've both taken en route. This is the BEST travel vlog online!!
During the rain shower you stop at the gas station. visor open.....music stops (1 sec.)....visor closed again...music continues. That's some top editing! You make it exciting this way! Well done Noraly...well done!😀👍👊...love it.
Your exploits show that problems are simply another element of adventure. They crop up here and there, and no mater how dire they seem at the moment, a solution is always in the waiting. Each solution builds confidence and pride, and increases the reward! Great lesson!
So after hundreds of episodes I finally caught up with you. What started as an interest in riding offroad, soon became a ‘feel good’ travel log, and then slowly I started to realize that my childhood hero Pippi Langkous actually bought a motorbike and was fearlessly traveling the world. Every episode I was traveling with you and sometimes holding my breath because of all the challenges you endure, but knowing that it would end well because there were so many upcoming episodes still. Since this episode I worry a little bit more, because I need to wait for your next video. What you’re doing is much more than a travel log, it’s an amazing documentary about the state of the world, the people and nature in the early 21st century. I am sure it will be an inspiration for a lot of people, not just now but for many decades to come, just like Alan Lomax did about 80 years ago by recording (musical) life on tape. Thank you for all your hard work.
I'm hooked on itchy adventures. I once rode across a railroad trestle . Abandoned. No rails . Just ties. No hand rails. I would not come back across. Had to take the long way back. About 40 feet above the river. It took all I had to do it. Once. I stopped on the other side and sat down awhile. You have guts lady. A real trooper. . You can be in my foxhole anytime. .. What an attitude. IT makes my day.
That was the first Itchy Boots episode that I ever saw. This channel is like a drug! If she ever stops making these videos, the world is going to have some serious withdrawal!
Definitely riding with angels! Plural. Just an angel on her shoulder wouldn't get Noraly through all she's had to survive. This does take me back to the desert, thinking then how rough it was for Noraly and Alaska... ❤👍👋
She so blessed..I have tears on my eyes...I am always praying for her that the evils we live with peculiar to Africa doesn't come near her.. in Jesus name... She is so brave beyond measure... I hope one day the world may be the UN would make your travels into a documentary on humanity and the African hospitality. Amen
For what you eat, sweat, worry and exercise with Alaska you should weigh 10 kilos. You are such a brave and interesting person. I admire and envy you. I am 79 years old grandmother, I live in a comfortable apartment in Santiago de Chile. I enjoy very much my travels with you!!! Thank you very much for taking me along with you!!❤❤❤❤
Noraly, thanks. I live in the Southern most tip of Africa. Thanks for showing the World the real living, loving heart of Africa. The one without politics. I sometimes have tears in my eyes seeing the deep kindess of ordinary people. Thank you.
@@mtkoslowski Hi IB, I used "tip" not to be too exact. "City" would mean Cape Town and "Town" would be Agulhas. I should have said region. But anyway, it is in the southern most stretch of about 500 km along the sea shore. Anywhere from Plett to Cape Town. Tip: Whatch out for an orange on a radio areal - 60's style! Pleasure meeting you.
1300 km is a long distance! Hope you got Alaska fixed and running well. Nice to be on tar for a relaxing ride with a nice breakfast to boot! Take care and ride safe Noraly!
I really appreciate your shareing your life woth us and your kindness to strangers on your journey thru life. What goes around comes around. Love greg and codymy cat
Thank you Noraly.. you are so sweet and wise. Seeing all of this beautiful country is an education unattainable to me in any other way. I am an 85 year old mother of two lovely women, four grandchildren and four great grandchildren. I truly thank you for all the beautiful photography and people I meet through you. May God keep you safe in every way! Sandra Sherritt, Southern California!
I never expected to see this much of the world from the back of your bike. Nor did I know that (almost) all people, everywhere, are good people. You've shown us that. Thanks, and safe rides :-)
Wonderful to see some smooth riding on asphalt roads after a long time with Alaska touching even 114 kmph. The gruel and the beating that Alaska went through over 60,000 km is a testimony to Honda quality. But above all it is the grit and determination of the iron lady that is simply unbelievable and a delight to watch!
There are many people making these videos but Noraly is the best. I love her videos. She is very charismatic and my respects for how she drives the motorcycle. God keep her always.
I keep writing the same comment about Norali, but I'm just amazed about the fact that she's such a trooper. She goes in the middle of knowhere, buys whatever food she founds, and eats the damn thing without flinching. I'm African and live in Africa and even I don't do that! That woman is a warrior!
Exactly! Some of the foods she's eaten have grossed me out. I could NEVER eat Caterpillars!!! My stomach was churning watching that video of her. Lol...I've never known anyone as amazing as Noraly. She continues to shock us. Geez, I get pamic attacks when my car breaks down, but here comes Noraly, the woman of the year, and she's riding in foreign land alone with no food....amazing!
I think she has sometimes bad experiences with food, but she has the decency not to report it here. 🤫 She does not want to undermine the good intentions of those people.
I would ensure you get the oil changed as fast as possible, water in the tank is fine as it clearly isnt enough to hydrolock the engine. But water can find its way into the oil through multiple spots, and that will cause a lot of long-term problems with your connecting rod bearings. Also check every fuse and electrical connection for stagnant water and clean corrosiion off of them with a metal brush.
We have to commend Noraly on managing a tough season on the road and handling the details in the background-TH-cam thumbnail updates to her seasons, website updates, new merch, and much much more. Your dedication and hard work don't go unnoticed, and they're truly appreciated! ❤️ Keep shining, Noraly! 🌟
@@Mayra9148 Yes, she talks about her editing duties quite often. Since she stops at hotels, motels, B&Bs, or lodges each night, she spends her evenings editing her videos.
Yes, these behind the scenes duties often go unrecognized. She deserves all the accolades for an often thankless job. And she accomplishes these tasks often under extreme circumstances and always punctual with delivery of outstanding videos!! Thank you for bringing attention to that! Loved your comment!!
In nineteen century man Polish man, Kazimierz Nowak traveled in Africa on bicycle, 40 000 km. Crossed river, mountains, using all transportation what was there but most of was his bicycle. Find his story on google, another forgotten modest my country man. Bravo tor great lady Noraly. God bless and save you !😀🥰❤❤🩹
I can see Norally's countenance beginning to light up as she exits the jungle of West and Central Africa and breaks into open country and good roads in Congo Brazaville. Nice to see you in Point Noire as you begin your descent into Southern Africa.
I don't understand why people add good roads to the comment as is the previous countries didn't have good roads. Don't let her road choices make you think there are no good roads in all the west and central African countries she visited. She only chose the bad roads for adventure purposes, the avoidance of big cities and possibly reckless driving on the tared roads. She is only on good roads because she thinks Alaska has had enough. If not that, you would still see her on bad roads even in the Congo.
I'm always checking for an update if you have posted something yet.Thats how I have become so addicted to your adventures.When you travel, we're traveling with you Noraly..Keep it going.I salute you
Noraly, I started googling places that you have traveled and learnt a lot more from you about South American and African geography than 6 years of middle and high school. Thank you and stay safe.
So true most of what we learn in school is selected fake , twisted and misleading, as a college graduate with a degree in teaching I can attest to this, one if the books I found during my college times was entitled , " Lies my Teacher Told Me " this book was quite an eye opener. Noraly you are quite woman, it would an extraordinary man to keep up with you.
Even with all your problems from Alaska's falling into the the water and losing your table directions, you press onward through the Congo. May god or your guardian angle stay with you. 💙
So happy to see my country though the eyes of an adventurer. And for once we don’t only see the bad side of Congo 🇨🇬 but also the wild beauty! Thanks for this 🙏🏾
Congo has beautiful roads, I didn't expect that, also not populated. We must stop believing the propaganda that is spread by the newspapers. For me now, if anything happens in Africa, ill have to go there and verify it because we know savages of Africa from print media and I haven't seen those through Noraly's lenses.
I am impressed by your riding skills. You are riding a (relatively) underpowered bike, with a heavy cargo load, over rough, muddy roads. The fact that you keep it upright like you do is a testament to your skill.
Alaska what a bike, she gets the bragging rights , she is the Queen in the Itchy Boots Bike universe, Basanti, Dhanno and savannah must be jealous of her, she has been through snow, Desert, Rain forest , travelled the Longest distance, survived a lot of challenging situations what an Awesome bike , enjoy your journey Noraly.
Noraly and Ed march made me a honda convert. I have a rally for offroading (nicknamed noraly), and a black at(charly). Best bang for the buck. Dutch trail was pretty gnarly (and cold!) few weeks back with all the rain.
You are great example now just to female children but male as well, you are great, gentle, strong, optimistic,knowledgeable and fearless. Keep posting and we will keep watching. ❤
I got hook with your channel for several months now, i feel like I'm traveling with you and enjoy the scenery. It's a big WOW for a lady riding Bikes alone in countries of Africa.
Congo Brazzaville is a hospitable country happy to see my country again through your channel ouesso-dolisie-pointe noire - cabinda (luanda) too bad you didn't go to Brazzaville congratulations and good continuation in Angola
All through the countries she's been to, they all have good roads but you'll never find Norally using them. she always go for the bad ones probably because it's fun as a biker riding on such roads. However, he last episode made her rethink on the choice of roads. Now you'll see better roads all the way to Angola and beyond if she doesn't chose to go with worse roads again.
@@sammednzegge3082 Yeah as much as I love what she's doing I think people don't have the entire picture of what thise countries looks like. Yes we all want every road paved in those countries but the viewers should also know there are better roads and it's her choice to go for the bad ones. Can you imagine she has never been to a better immigration and customs office throughout the West African countries? Meanwhile there are better roads connecting all these countries.
This video meant something to me because I was born in the Belgian Congo in the last year before war of independence when my family had to flee to Europe. Thanks for giving us a glimpse of the Congo today. Noraly, ik vind het prachtig wat je allemaal doet, ik volg je al jaren vanaf het begin
@@xavierkanyinji5365It is a country of 5 millions people, with most us located in the two big cities (Brazzaville, the politic capital and Pointe-Noire, the economic capital). It's not a densely populated (and we prefer it 😊)
Congo is soo beautiful with good roads , wonderful sceneries and very clean environment at least where you have shown so far. I especially love the cleanliness and how nicely green it looks, it looks like a paradise. Please show more of this side of Africa too besides the outback least used and very remote routes/roads you mostly prefer to use as well.
All the countries she's been to are beautiful with good roads. For the purpose of her channel, she chooses the bad roads always until Alaska fell in the river. If that hadn't happen, you'll still find her using bad roads in the Congo.
I am South African, Since the last time you travelled in SA and bought Savanah. I have never missed any of your episode up to date. I have learnt a lot and seen a lot of daily challenges African people face in their countries through your channel. I can only say I am blessed to be South African. Watching from Rustenburg SA
Noraly, speaking for me, after traversing the muddy roads for so many episodes the pavement is a visual stress reliever. I can only imagine how you feel. The scenery that you filmed is still beautiful. I've said it before. Your adventures bring the world a little closer together. We get to see parts that we would otherwise never see. Excellent cool 😎
Good Morning internet, good morning Noraly... bonjour Madam,whoever I always looking forward to each ride episode. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to ride along with you dear. Have a safe journey Noraly.
Surprised Alaska is running after her swim. Those guys were amazing. People waiting for fuel seemed so patient. The rest of us could take a lesson. Another wonderful video 😊
Wow the cloud formation @ 15:30 mins amazing, never seen anything like this in Australia, or other places around the globe we have visited - very special.😊
Hey Noraly, glad you had a break from the mud ! And glad Alaska is hanging in ...she will be glad of a service! Don't forget to give yourself some TLC too...!! Great stuff as always. Cheers Steve 💚
Noraly not only are your videos top notch but you are the best story teller narrator ever. I have been watching some of my favorite older videos for the third time. Your hard work shows every minute of every video.
I am just captivated by your travels Noraly. You take us on a route that is truly off the beaten track. Your interactions with the locals is so real and honest. You have such a fresh approach on how you see the world. Thank you for taking us with you.
U re a rare gem infact the commander in chief of adventurers. From Abuja Nigeria I hail you. God bless your discovery exploits not even many male can do as u re doing.
All South African team Noraly please let's gather here and show her support because she was once in our beautiful country South Africa. Myself I'm addicted with her channel since 2022 I'm learning alot from her. ❤❤❤❤❤
You are amazing. I love your beautiful journey. I stumbled across your content tonight. Just wow!! It's good to see Africa in a different light. It's beautiful there..
Its fascinating to see a part of Africa that almost no westen adventurers get to; but Noraly allows us to see the fascinating contrasts this continent offers.
Well that rain is relentless!! Nice not to worry about fighting the mud! Nice tarmac and nice scenery for a change of pace! I can’t believe Noraly said it herself! She enjoyed the tarmac!! That mud has broken her! Rapid trek through Congo and beautiful drone footage of your final destination! And now let’s go Angola! Hang in there Alaska! What a champ!! Loved it Noraly!! Cheers from Texas USA❤❤
Yes indeed we need to mark our calendars that Noraly welcomed tarmac with open arms! If anyone can navigate Africa without a tablet/GPS its Noraly. I always feel so happy when we see her get a good breakfast and hear the joy in her heart, as well as seeing her in a nice serene accommodation like where she ended up at the coast. Peace from PA USA!
I enjoy the really good roads. It makes it possible to look about. After riding a bike for many years I find I am watching the dirt muddy roads and not the surrounding area. Please give us more of the paved roads . I am 83 and did a lot of riding when I was younger. Paved roads give us time to look at the surroundings of the country you are in. I do so enjoy your rides. Please keep Safe.

Sweet maama Africa
Hah! Yeah! The Western media is only interested in bad news when it comes to Africa.
itch boot you are really adventure woman
That is so true
The Congo is so beautiful!
Noraly- I have seen EVERY episode you have ever made- clear back to S1 Ep1. This episode is your all time best! You editing skills rival famous Hollywood film studios! You are an AMAZING woman with many abilities! We all love you!
Hey Noraly. You can add isopropyl alcohol 70% or higher to your gas to remove water. Water mixes with the alcohol and allows it be burned during combustion. Love your channel. I can't ride anymore. Had a bad motorcycle accident. Broke my back and a few other limbs. Had to learn to walk again. But watching you ride brings me joy. I miss riding my bike. Be safe out there...😊
Or but some spirits = ethanol (~95%, C2H5OH) to dissolve water. -10 % of ethanol is added in EU to 95E gasoline.
I had never heard of just adding IPA to the tank. That's a really great piece of knowledge to carry with. Thank you for sharing!
That's a great tip, thank you. How much do you add per litre approximately?
No selfpitty and a very positive attitude. You dont see that often anymore
@@v.i.4268 Right you are! E10 contains max 10% alc., and E5 - max 5%
Africa is an incredibly beautiful land. So much diversity in landscapes. I love this journey.

I hope one day the world may be the UN would make your travels into a documentary on humanity and the African hospitality. Amen
Lovely video 📸❤
O God! Congo is heaven ❤!! Thanks for showing me
For what you eat, sweat, worry and exercise with Alaska you should weigh 10 kilos. You are such a brave and interesting person. I admire and envy you. I am 79 years old grandmother, I live in a comfortable apartment in Santiago de Chile. I enjoy very much my travels with you!!! Thank you very much for taking me along with you!!❤❤❤❤
If resilience was a human, she is a perfect definition, if bravery is a human, she is a perfect definition. I salute her courage
Noraly, you are a brave biker showing us the beauty and simplicity of Congo and other parts of Africa. Best wishes.
Noraly, thanks. I live in the Southern most tip of Africa. Thanks for showing the World the real living, loving heart of Africa. The one without politics. I sometimes have tears in my eyes seeing the deep kindess of ordinary people. Thank you.
She gives us what most documentaries dont give us
Your words are gold my friend 🙏.
Regards from Angola.
You live in Cape Agulhas?
@@mtkoslowski Hi IB, I used "tip" not to be too exact. "City" would mean Cape Town and "Town" would be Agulhas. I should have said region. But anyway, it is in the southern most stretch of about 500 km along the sea shore. Anywhere from Plett to Cape Town. Tip: Whatch out for an orange on a radio areal - 60's style! Pleasure meeting you.
1300 km is a long distance! Hope you got Alaska fixed and running well. Nice to be on tar for a relaxing ride with a nice breakfast to boot! Take care and ride safe Noraly!
I really appreciate your shareing your life woth us and your kindness to strangers on your journey thru life. What goes around comes around. Love greg and codymy cat
Thank you Noraly.. you are so sweet and wise. Seeing all of this beautiful country is an education unattainable to me in any other way. I am an 85 year old mother of two lovely women, four grandchildren and four great grandchildren. I truly thank you for all the beautiful photography and people I meet through you. May God keep you safe in every way! Sandra Sherritt, Southern California!
Thank you momy. God bless you too! From Côte d’ivoire. West Africa
I never expected to see this much of the world from the back of your bike. Nor did I know that (almost) all people, everywhere, are good people. You've shown us that. Thanks, and safe rides :-)
So true, if we are not careful, we could live in fear of leaving the house - bravo Norally
Wonderful to see some smooth riding on asphalt roads after a long time with Alaska touching even 114 kmph. The gruel and the beating that Alaska went through over 60,000 km is a testimony to Honda quality. But above all it is the grit and determination of the iron lady that is simply unbelievable and a delight to watch!
There are many people making these videos but Noraly is the best. I love her videos. She is very charismatic and my respects for how she drives the motorcycle. God keep her always.
The soundtrack you added while you were blasting through the rain at 70mph, is AMAZING !!!
I keep writing the same comment about Norali, but I'm just amazed about the fact that she's such a trooper. She goes in the middle of knowhere, buys whatever food she founds, and eats the damn thing without flinching. I'm African and live in Africa and even I don't do that! That woman is a warrior!
Especially street meat.. it could be anything..I would just stick to plantain …😂
@kmer1975 great reply! And that pretty much sums up Noraly.
Exactly! Some of the foods she's eaten have grossed me out. I could NEVER eat Caterpillars!!! My stomach was churning watching that video of her. Lol...I've never known anyone as amazing as Noraly. She continues to shock us. Geez, I get pamic attacks when my car breaks down, but here comes Noraly, the woman of the year, and she's riding in foreign land alone with no food....amazing!
I think she has sometimes bad experiences with food, but she has the decency not to report it here. 🤫 She does not want to undermine the good intentions of those people.
Pocas mujeres así. De verdad da mucho a respetar ni idea cuántas Europeas así. Bendiciones 🙏
After watching so many videos, I am very proud to be a China person when you ride on this spacious and smooth road!
Happy 60,000 kilometers Alaska, thank you for taking Noraly safely around the world and in Africa, let's go for many more kilometers of adventures
Poor Old Alaska.. She'll keep on battling just like you Norally.. We all love you 💚👋
Bravest lady on You Tube. Wow you are amazing. Thanks for sharing your adventure.
I would ensure you get the oil changed as fast as possible, water in the tank is fine as it clearly isnt enough to hydrolock the engine. But water can find its way into the oil through multiple spots, and that will cause a lot of long-term problems with your connecting rod bearings. Also check every fuse and electrical connection for stagnant water and clean corrosiion off of them with a metal brush.
We have to commend Noraly on managing a tough season on the road and handling the details in the background-TH-cam thumbnail updates to her seasons, website updates, new merch, and much much more. Your dedication and hard work don't go unnoticed, and they're truly appreciated! ❤️ Keep shining, Noraly! 🌟
hiii i dont know if noraly has ever talked about this but does she edit and manage everything herself? im very curious to know
@@Mayra9148 Yes, she talks about her editing duties quite often. Since she stops at hotels, motels, B&Bs, or lodges each night, she spends her evenings editing her videos.
Yes, these behind the scenes duties often go unrecognized. She deserves all the accolades for an often thankless job. And she accomplishes these tasks often under extreme circumstances and always punctual with delivery of outstanding videos!! Thank you for bringing attention to that! Loved your comment!!
In nineteen century man Polish man, Kazimierz Nowak traveled in Africa on bicycle, 40 000 km. Crossed river, mountains, using all transportation what was there but most of was his bicycle. Find his story on google, another forgotten modest my country man. Bravo tor great lady Noraly. God bless and save you !😀🥰❤❤🩹
I can see Norally's countenance beginning to light up as she exits the jungle of West and Central Africa and breaks into open country and good roads in Congo Brazaville. Nice to see you in Point Noire as you begin your descent into Southern Africa.
I don't understand why people add good roads to the comment as is the previous countries didn't have good roads. Don't let her road choices make you think there are no good roads in all the west and central African countries she visited. She only chose the bad roads for adventure purposes, the avoidance of big cities and possibly reckless driving on the tared roads. She is only on good roads because she thinks Alaska has had enough. If not that, you would still see her on bad roads even in the Congo.
I'm always checking for an update if you have posted something yet.Thats how I have become so addicted to your adventures.When you travel, we're traveling with you Noraly..Keep it going.I salute you
15:51 ohhh😲🌧️🌧️🌧️⛈️🎞️🎥 very exciting to watch
What a beautiful country and nice roads. I never knew Congo was like this.
You always are so kind tipping the people who help you great heart!!!
Noraly, I started googling places that you have traveled and learnt a lot more from you about South American and African geography than 6 years of middle and high school. Thank you and stay safe.
So true most of what we learn in school is selected fake , twisted and misleading, as a college graduate with a degree in teaching I can attest to this, one if the books I found during my college times was entitled , " Lies my Teacher Told Me " this book was quite an eye opener. Noraly you are quite woman, it would an extraordinary man to keep up with you.
Even with all your problems from Alaska's falling into the the water and losing your table directions, you press onward through the Congo. May god or your guardian angle stay with you. 💙
So happy to see my country though the eyes of an adventurer. And for once we don’t only see the bad side of Congo 🇨🇬 but also the wild beauty! Thanks for this 🙏🏾
Well said
Congo has beautiful roads, I didn't expect that, also not populated. We must stop believing the propaganda that is spread by the newspapers.
For me now, if anything happens in Africa, ill have to go there and verify it because we know savages of Africa from print media and I haven't seen those through Noraly's lenses.
I am impressed by your riding skills. You are riding a (relatively) underpowered bike, with a heavy cargo load, over rough, muddy roads. The fact that you keep it upright like you do is a testament to your skill.
Much love to everyone and their families from Cedar City Utah USA!
Thanks for another awesome adventure Noraly🥀🤠✌️
Good morning from beautiful St George Utah!! Blessings to you, neighbor!
Congo was so beautiful. The savanna was something else. Thanks Noraly for taking us along as you discover Africa.
Resilant rider thanks for taking us with you around the world.
Watching the adventures of Itchy Boots is one of the highlights of the week. Never miss an episode. Thank you so much!
The world truly appreciates the wonderful Noraly! Her spirit elevates.
That's my Country ❤
Thank you for passing through and enjoy our hospitality
Alaska what a bike, she gets the bragging rights , she is the Queen in the Itchy Boots Bike universe, Basanti, Dhanno and savannah must be jealous of her, she has been through snow, Desert, Rain forest , travelled the Longest distance, survived a lot of challenging situations what an Awesome bike , enjoy your journey Noraly.
And I think you forgot to say, taking an unwanted dip in a river. 😫
Noraly and Ed march made me a honda convert. I have a rally for offroading (nicknamed noraly), and a black at(charly). Best bang for the buck. Dutch trail was pretty gnarly (and cold!) few weeks back with all the rain.
@@jeanxlaxon7897 --I have owned several Honda's in my 76 years, all of them take a Lickin and keep on Tickin, the Japanese are Great Engineers.
So true, Alaska have seen more countries than the other bikes she had even put hands on😂😂😂
You are great example now just to female children but male as well, you are great, gentle, strong, optimistic,knowledgeable and fearless. Keep posting and we will keep watching. ❤
I’m glad you enjoyed time crossing my country the Central African Republic 🇨🇫 and its natural sceneries.
I got hook with your channel for several months now, i feel like I'm traveling with you and enjoy the scenery. It's a big WOW for a lady riding Bikes alone in countries of Africa.
Good afternoon Noraly, from Derbyshire England 😍
Congo Brazzaville is a hospitable country
happy to see my country again through your channel
ouesso-dolisie-pointe noire - cabinda (luanda)
too bad you didn't go to Brazzaville
congratulations and good continuation in Angola
Look at those smooth roads!!! Must be a relief to ride after the dramatic adventure to the border.
All through the countries she's been to, they all have good roads but you'll never find Norally using them. she always go for the bad ones probably because it's fun as a biker riding on such roads. However, he last episode made her rethink on the choice of roads. Now you'll see better roads all the way to Angola and beyond if she doesn't chose to go with worse roads again.
@@alpha_visionthat's true. She chose the bad roads in Nigeria, Cameroon and CAR, they were many paved roads she could have used!!
@@sammednzegge3082 Yeah as much as I love what she's doing I think people don't have the entire picture of what thise countries looks like. Yes we all want every road paved in those countries but the viewers should also know there are better roads and it's her choice to go for the bad ones. Can you imagine she has never been to a better immigration and customs office throughout the West African countries? Meanwhile there are better roads connecting all these countries.
You are a superwoman!!!. I love your courage and enthusiasm.
What a brave lady, I wouldn't take that risk alone myself. What a super woman and congratulations on your escape.
"I can only deal with one problem at a time" great philosophy for life Norally. I think both Alaska and you need a service break.
Looking forward to see you get to East Africa and specifically Kenya 🇰🇪🇰🇪
👋🇿🇦
Will she reach Kenya 😅?? I hope so
@@Kipchumba105 she must passby for us fans and meet the toa kitu kidogo crew 😂😂 very amazing people
Noraly thanks for showing us Congo.
It's quite amazing to know that Congo have such beautiful roads in the jungle.
This video meant something to me because I was born in the Belgian Congo in the last year before war of independence when my family had to flee to Europe. Thanks for giving us a glimpse of the Congo today. Noraly, ik vind het prachtig wat je allemaal doet, ik volg je al jaren vanaf het begin
But this is not Belgian Congo in the video, rather what was the French Congo (to date Congo Brazzaville)
Jij bent in Belgie of je bent in Nederland. Ik ben in Canada. Het lijkt wel of niemand meer in zijn eigen land blijft.
Noraly is geweldig 🤩. Congo is echt een prachtig land, gelukkig hebben wij dit kunnen zien door Noraly.
Congo is so empty ,no people and cars
@@xavierkanyinji5365It is a country of 5 millions people, with most us located in the two big cities (Brazzaville, the politic capital and Pointe-Noire, the economic capital). It's not a densely populated (and we prefer it 😊)
Congo is soo beautiful with good roads , wonderful sceneries and very clean environment at least where you have shown so far. I especially love the cleanliness and how nicely green it looks, it looks like a paradise. Please show more of this side of Africa too besides the outback least used and very remote routes/roads you mostly prefer to use as well.
All the countries she's been to are beautiful with good roads. For the purpose of her channel, she chooses the bad roads always until Alaska fell in the river. If that hadn't happen, you'll still find her using bad roads in the Congo.
I am South African, Since the last time you travelled in SA and bought Savanah. I have never missed any of your episode up to date. I have learnt a lot and seen a lot of daily challenges African people face in their countries through your channel. I can only say I am blessed to be South African. Watching from Rustenburg SA
You are the brave lady. Watching your videos regularly.😅
Thanks Noraly for taking us on your adventure. Beautiful landscape!
We as Angolans will be really pleased to receive you here... 😍🤩👏👏👏
The heroine, Norali, I follow you from Saudi Arabia, and I love your adventures, and I love Africa and its kind people🇸🇦👍
Noraly, speaking for me, after traversing the muddy roads for so many episodes the pavement is a visual stress reliever. I can only imagine how you feel. The scenery that you filmed is still beautiful. I've said it before. Your adventures bring the world a little closer together. We get to see parts that we would otherwise never see. Excellent cool 😎
You managed to extirpate something good and positive from my country of birth, quite an achievement! MERCI NORALY
Good Morning internet, good morning Noraly... bonjour Madam,whoever I always looking forward to each ride episode. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to ride along with you dear. Have a safe journey Noraly.
congrats Alaska surpassed 60,000 km & she is still on the road with water in her tank. amazing both of you👍👍👍💕
I don't think any of us thank you often enough , for taking us with you on these
expeditions . So Thank You Noraly . From an old biker.
The clouds were so beautiful, what amazing skies, if you don't like the weather just wait a little, it will change.
This needs to be repeated Noraly. You are an amazing lady!!!🤩I hope Alaska gets all the TLC it deserves soon. Lots of love from Gene in Tennessee.
Omg just watching her doing this in my original country make me so happy and proud♥️😍😍😍
Surprised Alaska is running after her swim. Those guys were amazing. People waiting for fuel seemed so patient. The rest of us could take a lesson. Another wonderful video 😊
What lesson would that be, how NOT to run a gas station?
Words that don't miss almost in every video
"GOOD MORNING INTERNET "
I am really really obsessed 😍 with her rides
"loooook at thisss"
@@Kelebeketkisioo I think you surely must have posted on wrong channel.
Good Morning Internet - Famous Noralyism!
Wow the cloud formation @ 15:30 mins amazing, never seen anything like this in Australia, or other places around the globe we have visited - very special.😊
Hey Noraly, glad you had a break from the mud ! And glad Alaska is hanging in ...she will be glad of a service! Don't forget to give yourself some TLC too...!! Great stuff as always. Cheers Steve 💚
You are an amazing person. Thank you❤..from.South Africa
Noraly not only are your videos top notch but you are the best story teller narrator ever. I have been watching some of my favorite older videos for the third time. Your hard work shows every minute of every video.
I am just captivated by your travels Noraly. You take us on a route that is truly off the beaten track. Your interactions with the locals is so real and honest. You have such a fresh approach on how you see the world. Thank you for taking us with you.
Dank je voor de super mooie landschappen, die jij ons laten bewonderen. En, "Chapeau" voor deze uitdagend circuit.
U re a rare gem infact the commander in chief of adventurers. From Abuja Nigeria I hail you. God bless your discovery exploits not even many male can do as u re doing.
Wow! The most I've ever done in a day on a motorcycle was 900 kilometers. You are doing very well. May God always accompany you and project you.
All South African team Noraly please let's gather here and show her support because she was once in our beautiful country South Africa. Myself I'm addicted with her channel since 2022 I'm learning alot from her. ❤❤❤❤❤
You are amazing. I love your beautiful journey. I stumbled across your content tonight. Just wow!! It's good to see Africa in a different light. It's beautiful there..
You, and Alaska, have had some harrowing experiences during this stretch of Africa but both of you keep movin' on! What champions!
Its fascinating to see a part of Africa that almost no westen adventurers get to; but Noraly allows us to see the fascinating contrasts this continent offers.
Best traveler Noroly. Thank you to show us Republic of the Congo.
Well that rain is relentless!! Nice not to worry about fighting the mud! Nice tarmac and nice scenery for a change of pace! I can’t believe Noraly said it herself! She enjoyed the tarmac!! That mud has broken her! Rapid trek through Congo and beautiful drone footage of your final destination! And now let’s go Angola! Hang in there Alaska! What a champ!! Loved it Noraly!! Cheers from Texas USA❤❤
Yes indeed we need to mark our calendars that Noraly welcomed tarmac with open arms! If anyone can navigate Africa without a tablet/GPS its Noraly. I always feel so happy when we see her get a good breakfast and hear the joy in her heart, as well as seeing her in a nice serene accommodation like where she ended up at the coast. Peace from PA USA!
Yay! Was eager for todays video. 🎉 Watching now, hope adventure is treating you well Noraly. 🇺🇸
I enjoy the really good roads. It makes it possible to look about. After riding a bike for many years I find I am watching the dirt muddy roads and not the surrounding area. Please give us more of the paved roads . I am 83 and did a lot of riding when I was younger. Paved roads give us time to look at the surroundings of the country you are in. I do so enjoy your rides. Please keep Safe.
Do you still ride at 83? I’m a little younger than that (but not all that much) and thinking of taking up biking again.
Good morning Noraly, God Bless You as You Help Those Who are Needy. You Intentionally Buy!
