Slightly envious that you got to see Noraly AND Ryan F9 in person - and together. And thank you for letting us now where Noraly was when she missed her regular Sunday video. I was a little worried about her.
Thank you, yes a few other people made comments thanking me for the update, I'm not sure why she didn't put a short vid out to explain what was happening but I guess it was perhaps all rushed. She did say last week she was in Africa & then she was at the festival a week later!
Definitely, she may show just a few seconds in her videos at some border crossings when she has actually spent an hour or two. As she said on the stage you just have to have patience with red tape & formality.
lol yes you never would have dreamt that occurring. I loved the spontaneous question James put to Ryan after Noraly said she inadvertently found herself in a brothel!
8:30 Noraly likes the Andes mountain range the most. I thought she might mention the mountains of Georgia, but she certainly rode more hours and miles, and had more exhilarating experiences, while traveling up from Patagonia in the Andes. Thanks for your extended coverage of this event. Captions helped the audio a lot, no worries. 🙂👍👍
So many beautiful places she's been, food for thought for us thinking of going to experience the best riding places in the world. Thanks for letting me know about the captions helping. I usually have to go back after posting to correct the captions, if it's already helpful then it might save me an hr! 👍
Arh thank you Aida, I have visited Edmonton & Calgory & enjoyed your beautiful country. It was a nice experience for me as a fan to record edit & post the video. All of her fans along with yourself have appreciated the post so thats great thanks. I have 2 more festivals coming up so hope to get some more good content for you. Thanks Aida, Daz 👍
Yes apologies for the sound Rob, it's difficult to get good sound with a portable dji camera. I loved the question posed to Ryan on the back of Noraly saying she nearly stopped in a brothel lol.
Thanks Pete, I made 3 vids from this years ABR. I thought last year's ABR vid I did was ok too. I've around 100 videos so far, check out my channel for other stuff. I really enjoyed the Gran Canaria trip, Wales trip & Toro Adventure trip in Spain. Glad u like the vids! Thank you 👍
Thanks so much, I was in the right place at the right time, after I picked my jaw up I just thought I'd record a bit, glad I did as people have appreciated it.
I bet being in beautiful green UK is a nice vacation from Northern Africa. Season 7 has been tough, even for the Netherlands Supergirl. Thank you from Richmond Virginia, USA.
I knew an American on his first visit to the UK looked out of the plane window & was amazed with the beautiful green colours draped over the country. Best wishes to you guys in Richmond, Daz.
@@cspark9186 Yes, felt very lucky to have been there, chances of seeing her again are slight, so asking a question directly on her talk & talking to her afterwards was a pleasure. All the nice comments about her are wonderful. I think she'll conquer travelling the world eventually when other routes & countries open up. Books, TV & documentarys abound 👍
@@DazmatronMotorcycleTrips yes, you are a lucky guy. We just finished up the 50th Anniversary BMW- MOA rally here just north of Richmond along with the Vintage BMW Club celebrating BMW's 100 anniversary with corporate BMW from Germany in all their glory. It was fantastic. I would have given it all up to chat with Noraly. No person on earth has done ALL what she has done and has always kept a possitive attitude. That little 5'3" tall blonde, blue eyed girl with a little Honda dirt bike has conquered the world in style. And it's really not about riding a motorcycle at all. It's about what a person can accomplish if you set your mind to it. She's my hero!
@@cspark9186 awesome participating in BMW-MOA rally, I'm not familiar with it? Is it a race or trip? Yes BMW have a few promotions going on reflecting their 100 years anniversary. 3 weeks ago I rode to South Germany from the UK to ride the 600km Romantic Road. (Posted 4 vids on my channel btw) Afterwards I rode to the BMW Welt where they had a little display of the latest bikes. Unfortunately the museum was closed (Monday) but it was a great experience & free! I obviously got back for the ABR festival so all worked out. I echo your comments on Noraly a true ambassador influencing millions!
Not sure how Ryan and Noraly ended up in the same interview. They do completely different things. Ryan’s TH-cam channel is his day job at Fortnine with no ‘adventure’ riding involved whilst Noraly is filming her personal adventures and life on the road. Totally two different things.
Had about the same feeling. I kinda started to truly dislike ryanF9 for him getting more cocky in his videos. While Norally doesnt show anything like that. Maybe it is what you say about ryan being his work.
@@bikenavbm1229 For youtube giving us the ability to "like and subscribe" to channels we are also allowed to judge them. For me personally , i started to dislike Ryan's cocky behaviour. My opinion which for me matters. Nothing more then that basicaly 🤷♂️

@@DazmatronMotorcycleTrips I'm in Canada so a bit more involved. LOL I have a brother who lives in Coventry though and I think that's reasonably close if they have it at the same location. I've got a place to stay anyway.
@@RoadChapters 40 minutes down the road from Coventry to Ragley Hall. I cant see the show moving but perhaps having 2 shows in one year. It was really busy this year understandably as its getting known more.
@@DazmatronMotorcycleTrips All the festival's we have in North America are dominated by Harley culture. It would be nice to take something in with a more Euro feel.
Glad you did this. Would have been there myself but was on the way back from a bike tour to Portugal, just screwed up the dates a bit. Went to the 2022 one and loved it and wondered how it turned out. Thanks for your video not quite as good as being there myself but helped me get the atmosphere.
I think she'd love to go back & ride there again, she loved riding there. Have you seen more people/riders riding there since she said how much she enjoyed it?
That was really funny & the timing was great. Ryan was chuffed he'd got a question, then you asked a question about Noraly 🤣. He's such a top bloke & seen the funny side too. I met a few people at the show but I must say Ryan listened to my suggestion of a video after & was just down to earth & happy to chat. I'm really looking forward to Noraly & Ryan's next video's to see what they say about their experiences at the ABR? Great question though, nearly as good as mine 🤣🤣👍
@DazmatronMotorcycleTrips I'm still editing all my videos from my Normandy trip last month, filmed loads at the ABR including both trails off-road, have over 300gb of vids which I'm currently transferring to an external hard drive, hopefully I can start editing the videos, but they won't be out until August I reckon. Had my 360 cam, so when questions asked and answered I would get the audience reactions as well as the speakers reactions, it was an awesome 👌 festival, can't wait for the 2024 already have my tickets for it
@@BeanieBiker_AutisticRider I'm yet to do the Normandy trip, any tips? The 360 tech will be a great way to edit the talk, I'll look out for your vid. If only the editing was as easy as the filming 😕.
@DazmatronMotorcycleTrips plenty of war memorials, a must see and ride is pegasus bridge and Normandy bridge, the Normandy bridge itself was at one time the biggest cable bridge in the world, it is huge. Plenty of off road and unpaved roads in Normandy as well, with sections 1 and 3 of the TET
@@BeanieBiker_AutisticRider thanks for those tips, a must do route 👍. I have a friend of a friend who owns a tank over there & could take me out. Before I do that tour I'll endeavor to see if I can make it happen. 👍 Im also taking part in a charity ride out for the forces charity. Its being run from the Triumph museum. Incidentally I've got a sponsorship page on my FB if you wanted to spread that around to try raise a bit of cash. 👍. Thanks again for the Normandy advice, top man, Daz.
The Andes! I'm from Canada, and must defend our world class mountains! When she here last year, she skipped Alberta, with Banff and Lake Louise to see.I have seen the Andes, and was unimpressed...
Hi Jonathan, I briefly met Nick Sanders at last years show & seen his presentation this year on the Tenere Stage. An inspirational person with incredible passion & dedication to his cause, how many people can say they have ridden around the world 9 times on a cycle & motorbike!! Although I'd love to interview him, he's off again going around the world on an electric Yamaha cycle soon so he's going to be unavailable. You can find him on FB & his website www.nicksanders.com/
@@DazmatronMotorcycleTrips Nick is amazing! I first heard about him back in 1998 when he did a world trip on a Triumph Daytona (1st gen Hinkley era), but regrettably I never got to meet up with him when he passed through my city (Perth, Western Australia). He's probably the king of long distance riding.
Yes apologies for the sound Tony, it's difficult to get good sound with a portable dji camera. I'll get there early next year & sit on the bale at the front :)
Clutch plates then, ive just watched one of her recent episodes. As she said I hope there are no metal bits left in the engine after they did there best to flush it out with petrol!
I guess she may be suspicious to other cultures & politics, despite the fact she's just a down to earth, hard working individual who simply wants to see the world & other people at the same time. Look what Ryan said too when he went to America, being suspicious just because he had a lot of camera equipment....& he's from their neighbouring country, Canada 🤔 bizarre.
I think she's able to carry out some basic maintenance & she showed all the spare parts she carrys with her recently in one of her vids. I think it was her last series she got a puncture on the very 1st day of her tour in the middle of knowhere so she fixed that. Her bike certainly takes a beating, if anything it's great PR for Honda.
@@DazmatronMotorcycleTrips I always see her paying some dude to fix it and then standing over their shoulder the whole time. Must be nice to be able to throw money at everything.
@@JamesPiccone To be fair to her she's a grafter, travelling alone around the world enjoying her passion & making videos which is time consuming too. I think she deserves the revenue she makes from TH-cam & if that alleviates some of the mechanical repairs sometimes needed by bike mechanics then good for her. 👏
I'm afraid it's the best I could get with a dji gimble camera. I'd suggest putting the subtitles on that'll help. I've just spent 1 1/2 hrs correcting the auto translate as it misinterprets the dialogue sometimes. It'll take a few hrs to process mind.
im a new trail rider i did the trf 8km trail without issue it was fairly chilled the only tricky parts were a triplet of three steep climbs and decents which were pretty hair raising. i actually came off my crf250 on the longer 30k trail onto some nice soft grass. bent my bars and brake pedal but otherwise unscathed. i thought the abr festival was the most fun thing ive done in recent years and will go back again next year. the youtubers did my head in to be honest.
that's interesting to hear about the 8km trail as opposed to the 30km trail. Perhaps I'll tackle it next year? You may have seen i went off the track a couple of times but I'm only just a have a go off road GS rider! I'm trying to get on one of Steph Jeavon's big bike off road skills courses in Wales. I went up before last year doing some trails on a Honda 250. Have u seen the short of me diving off it? lol
I do not understand the "celebrity" worship at all. Ryan is cool, Itchy is cool, but hey, they're just people who have chosen to market themselves doing what they love to do. Some of us have been riding a lot longer (decades) but never chose the path of seeking attention or an audience or even a readership. We do what we do without seeking any kind of exposure or notoriety. I appreciate both of these riders, but frankly, find the crowds response pathetic. I NEVER attend rallies or events or organized rides, don't see the point to any of that either. Riding isn't about everyone else, it's about you. You are the rider, you are the experience with the machine, the road, the 'adventure'. I find these events no better and on the same level as an 'expo' where everyone gets together to listen to endless marketing, never realizing that the real product is you. Everyone is selling something to try to convince you that you can have the experience if you but sign up, buy in or ride upon xxx. It's all bullshit for weak minds and people who need to be told what to do. Where is the adventure in that? Where is the real authentic experience? It's damned sad that real riders have had to resort to these events to stay on the road - but that's whats happened. The authentic experience is now corporate sponsored. If they could patent the air that we breathe and package it up and sell it - they would. Riding is about refusing that type of manipulation and control, YOU get to be in charge, not some sponsor or promoter. I'm actually a bit shocked to find Ryan there (knowing him a bit better) by anyone who becomes a part of the corporate manipulation and profit-making attempts to literally take the adventure out of the adventure should reexamine their priorities. Let's keep it real people (or just ignore me). I won't be seeing any of you at these canned pretender events in any case.
Hi John, reading your message, I can clearly tell a motorcycle festival isn't your cup of tea. I have already booked my ABR ticket for 2024 & the 30km off road trail across the Ragley Hall estate. Of course we all have a choice to go or not or even watch a video about it. If I make another video, as its not your thing, probably best you don't watch it then 👍. You sound like a seasoned rider, I'm early on in my touring but can't wait to get some under my belt. Wheres the best tours you have done & could recommend?

?. On Friday she sent out a message that she was going to ABR in the UK and there would be no video on Sunday!
@@ingridwatsup9671 Are yes I've just seen that announcement on FB. I missed that, thanks, again great she was keeping everyone informed. 👍
Border crossings in general are high stress, itchy boots can do it with no problems. Always impressed by that by itself.
Definitely, she may show just a few seconds in her videos at some border crossings when she has actually spent an hour or two. As she said on the stage you just have to have patience with red tape & formality.
Noraly and Ryan in the same video. My head just exploded! 😂

Itchy boots is such a positive wholesome person, it's just a moment of Zen to watch her videos.
Definitely agree with that. I can't think of anything else I'd do to Zen out & relax watching her awesome video's.
Great Stuff - Thanks !
Glad you liked it!
It's easy to see why Itchy Boot's You Tube channel is so popular.
Totally agree with that!
thanks for posting, another one i missed, Ist time there to much to see & do

Definitely 👍.

Just wear and tear. That bike has been through more than most will see in a lifetime.
Clutch plates then, ive just watched one of her recent episodes. As she said I hope there are no metal bits left in the engine after they did there best to flush it out with petrol!
Recluse torque drive time!
Did she say Turkmenistan was her least favorite country so far?
Yeh, in the first series,
She had a very limited visa to stay in the country and wasn’t able/authorized to wander around much or interact with the locals

Which bike in particular?

@@DazmatronMotorcycleTrips Thanks. I will go back and check it out.
Audio is terrible. Almost unwatchable.
Apologies Jim, it's the best I could get with my dji3 camera, you could turn the subtitles on, that'll assist with the sound.
Useless sound, can't hear

im a new trail rider i did the trf 8km trail without issue it was fairly chilled the only tricky parts were a triplet of three steep climbs and decents which were pretty hair raising. i actually came off my crf250 on the longer 30k trail onto some nice soft grass. bent my bars and brake pedal but otherwise unscathed.
i thought the abr festival was the most fun thing ive done in recent years and will go back again next year.
the youtubers did my head in to be honest.
that's interesting to hear about the 8km trail as opposed to the 30km trail. Perhaps I'll tackle it next year? You may have seen i went off the track a couple of times but I'm only just a have a go off road GS rider! I'm trying to get on one of Steph Jeavon's big bike off road skills courses in Wales. I went up before last year doing some trails on a Honda 250. Have u seen the short of me diving off it? lol
I do not understand the "celebrity" worship at all. Ryan is cool, Itchy is cool, but hey, they're just people who have chosen to market themselves doing what they love to do. Some of us have been riding a lot longer (decades) but never chose the path of seeking attention or an audience or even a readership. We do what we do without seeking any kind of exposure or notoriety. I appreciate both of these riders, but frankly, find the crowds response pathetic. I NEVER attend rallies or events or organized rides, don't see the point to any of that either. Riding isn't about everyone else, it's about you. You are the rider, you are the experience with the machine, the road, the 'adventure'. I find these events no better and on the same level as an 'expo' where everyone gets together to listen to endless marketing, never realizing that the real product is you. Everyone is selling something to try to convince you that you can have the experience if you but sign up, buy in or ride upon xxx. It's all bullshit for weak minds and people who need to be told what to do. Where is the adventure in that? Where is the real authentic experience? It's damned sad that real riders have had to resort to these events to stay on the road - but that's whats happened. The authentic experience is now corporate sponsored. If they could patent the air that we breathe and package it up and sell it - they would. Riding is about refusing that type of manipulation and control, YOU get to be in charge, not some sponsor or promoter. I'm actually a bit shocked to find Ryan there (knowing him a bit better) by anyone who becomes a part of the corporate manipulation and profit-making attempts to literally take the adventure out of the adventure should reexamine their priorities. Let's keep it real people (or just ignore me). I won't be seeing any of you at these canned pretender events in any case.
Hi John, reading your message, I can clearly tell a motorcycle festival isn't your cup of tea.
I have already booked my ABR ticket for 2024 & the 30km off road trail across the Ragley Hall estate.
Of course we all have a choice to go or not or even watch a video about it. If I make another video, as its not your thing, probably best you don't watch it then 👍.
You sound like a seasoned rider, I'm early on in my touring but can't wait to get some under my belt.
Wheres the best tours you have done & could recommend?
