  • @dirtrider17
    @dirtrider17 2 ปีที่แล้ว +52

    Very well done Noraly! Beware, once racing gets in your blood there is no getting rid of it. Remember to ride within the limitations of your bikes suspension as that will be the biggest danger within your control. Those other bikes will soak up stuff that will buck you off your little Honda and you will be wondering what happened. As you already had a close call that you described in this video. I would set the caps of your forks flush with the top of your triple clamps for maximum stability(especially helpful in sand). If you get into deep sand remember to lean back and try to carry the front wheel a bit. Best of luck, ride safe and you are awesome! Cheering you on from Canada!

You have off-roading in your blood and muscle memory probably more than most out there and don't even realize how many times you've saved it "automatically". I'm loving watching you in "competition" mode, you're doing awesome, especially for a first racing event! Thats coming from another old-timer rider/racer. Yes, lots of respect, and more fun to come!! You have the experience, you know your limits, now use it and know when to back off and know when to push harder. Or, make it just a "fun-ride". Whatever suits you..

    The only woman, riding the lowest cc in the division. You're already passing people on the flats; just wait until you get into the scrambles when the training you took a while back kicks in. If you had another 20-25 mph during level riding I figure you'd easily finish in the top 40%.
    And O.M.G.! Look at yourself after finishing for the day. You are radiant! Competition is in your blood!

    It’s great seeing Noraly and her 25 HP Savannah bombing along, passing much higher-powered buggies and purpose built rally cars. What a long way from learning to ride off road in Oman!

    Guess who's really enjoying herself! Runs the Kalahari on a used 250, does well. Runs Melle Moto Dakar, does well. Picked up by pro team for Dakar,.... now a pro driver.

    I wondered if we would see this transition. It's one that I've always found when someone says "Go". Suddenly it is not riding any more - it's competition. I think I saw it when Noraly realized that she had followed others the wrong way. Suddenly, she took control of her race and began to move up. Great ride and great result!

Rude to leave a cloud of dust in your face! I hope they apologise! Even moved up in position! I too, have HUGE respect for you! BRAVO!

    Awesome!! I join the group of "Huge Respecters"... I was like, "What tha.... Savannah is a 250cc... If anyone gives Noraly a 450cc or so, maybe she would go faster!" By the way the camera angle over the fuel tank was incredible too, looks like Noraly and Savannah are one, the handling is really really good... Loved this episode! 👏👏👏👍

    I'm GLAD you didn't slow down or stop for filming purposes.
    It's good that you ran the race as a race, and not a cruise. .
    We don't need footage of all the race. We got a pretty good idea of what your day was like from the filming that you did do. .
    Such respect for you "going at it" and not taking it easy. .
    *WELL DONE YOU!!* .

    I can't understand how Honda doesn't offer you some level of sponsorship. You take their entry level stock bike which is street legal and do all of your traveling with it. Then you enter it in a LEGIT rally and not only keep up with but pass alot of the rally prepped bikes with 2 to 3 times the hp. The only changes you make are taking off your panniers. You are awesome!

  • @ianc4901
    @ianc4901 2 ปีที่แล้ว +33

    It's hard for you to take it easy but it's just as hard for me not to try to ride that bike for you !
    Even though this was a recording I could barely stop myself from willing you on and cheering for you !
    HUGE respect Noraly ! 👍

    My God this was so exciting!!! So epic, so awsome. It's the first time I see every detail of a rally racer in his first race. It was so real that I could feel the anxiety, the adrenaline pumpimg up and so. And the way you described everything is just amazing, just the best. This is a complete different level. Motorsport is passionate, but please be careful, it is also dangerous even today.
    Today Noraly/Itchy Boots the racer is born!!!

    I love the "was going to do this and that, and then RACE MODE was ON!!" I race sailboats, there is a little competitive monster in all of us that once let loose, forgets about fear and restraint. Under those conditions we really discover who we are and how amazingly capable we are. Like the guy said; "HUGE respect".
