Fantastic days with best friends. Great editing Noraly, thanks! At least, we have to do one trip or rally together per year. Let´s think in next one!
Totally agree! I’ve already got some ideas for next year! 🤩
@@ItchyBoots Marriage. When a woman laughs, it means that…
LOL "Great editing Noraly". I was thinking editing was a bigger challenge on this adventure. I can only imagine what ended up on the cutting room floor to meet Itchy Boots requirements......Wishing you both all the best. Ride Safe. Thank you for the best entertainment out there. Peace!
@@clabart I agree. She and Charlie would make a great match. Love them both.💕💕
@@sara_sara-iu7qf I'm not a mom
Four friends on an adventure helping each other out and having a great laugh, exactly how life should be!
Great lesson and reminder for some of us who are wound up tight by life; thank you!
Yeah this trip looks so fun. The trail is spectacular.
@@trukenyan definitely💖. A great lesson for those of us who didn't manage to escape.
That's what Merin and Pipin thought when decided to follow Sam and Frodo!
I love seeing all the camaraderie and laughter.
My mother, who is in her late eighties, virtually housebound and partially sighted, has just become a fan of yours since I introduced to your videos a couple of weeks ago. She is in awe of your spirit of adventure and your wonderful productions. Thank you Noraly. Cracking content on this one as always.
We all like our girl no surprise mom does too
Glad you introduced your mom to Itchy Boots! She will enjoy every minute of every episode! 👍🏻🇺🇸
A bittersweet episode for me this week. I lost my Dad last week, a true biker he was, riding bikes since he was 16 all the way up till he passed at 62. It was actually him that showed me your channel years ago. The ending shots of you all camping with the bikes were beautiful, my Dad camped many times away with his bike. Thanks Noraly for the great episode and giving me a visual image of what I feel my Dad is doing now wherever he is.
So sorry for your loss. Bittersweet indeed. Noraly brings joy to so many!
Condolences to you my friend… Ride safe and honor him! 👍🏻🇺🇸
Sorry for you loss.😢
Sorry for your loss, your expression tells us just how much you miss him, and what a great dad he was for you ❤
You have my sympathy. Lost my dad 2 years ago. He may be gone in physical sense, but from your words, it sounds like he will live in your heart and spirit forever, and so....he will never leave you. Noraly shines a light that can brighten the darkest day. Peace!
lovely to see noraly having fun with friends in a safe country, rather than alone in a war zone. Amazing scenery.
Me too, it's nice not to be feeling anxious about her all the time !
Yeah, I was worried for her too in west Africa with what's going on around there now.
Glad to see you out of Africa. That is no place for a solo lady to be driving. Godspeed.
What a beautiful adventure.. thank you Noraly, Charly, Roel and Killian for taking us along! There is nothing more valuable than Friendship. ♥️
Loved the part where you followed Killian and showed both courage and competence with Charly laughing in admiration as he watched you. I love your solo videos too. All good,
Noraly and Charlie have such great energy together! Great rides, great people, great times!!!
Can't imagine anyone watching this video and not wishing they were there. The scenes from camping touched the soul. Its no wonder she hit 1.8M subscribers. Whatever content she produces is exceptional. Very inspiring. Thank You Noraly. Peace! ❤❤❤..... Can't wait till next week!
I rode some of this country a couple of years ago, absolutely stunning.
i dont see motorcyclists, i see friends for life who share the same passion. What a positive dynamics in the group.
I would say there are groups of friends like this everyday sharing their passion together many not so fortunate to ride in such beautifull places or on glamorous machines or with TH-cam superstars but the dynamic is the same. long may it continue.
@@bikenavbm1229…. I agree! I’ve been riding for 57+ years and my riding buddies from youth still get together and ride! 👍🏻🇺🇸
So nice to see itchy. Happy, smiling and laughing all the time. Her personality really coming out. What an amazing lady.
I know you like to travel alone but I think I am enjoying this adventure even more than when you are alone. It’s nice to see a new and different side of your personality. Also I’m really liking Spain and the places you are riding. Very beautiful.
These episodes of the 4 friends were one of Norely's best episodes so far. It's priceless to see this whole group on this great adventure, I was emotional at times seeing so much joy and companionship among you. I think Norely and Charly should do this more often. Thank you so much. You are the best.
It wasn’t that long ago that Noraly rode thru the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. The worlds thoughts go out to the people in that region.
The last two episodes have been absolutely fantastic, and how cool is that to go on an adventure with some friends who enjoy a good time, thanks Noraly!
Knee slapping laughter is the perfect medicine to recover from Africa……and just about anything. You are very blessed in how your friends have come around you. 😊
I actually love this "intermission" group ride in the middle of an active season. You should do more of this in future seasons; trying out different bikes in different places with a group of friends!
I had the same thought. Maybe a future miniseries with the same friend constellation? Or a collaboration with some female ADV-Motovloggers here on TH-cam? Would bring a fresh breeze into the channel.
Amazing scenery in Spain and Andorra on an epic trip with great friends. Very intense downhill ride with an unfamiliar bike! Also thinking of Morocco today and hoping that all the wonderful people that helped and hosted Itchy Boots on her journey there are ok.
I checked her route through Morocco vs the map of the area most affected by the earthquake, not much overlap at all. I'm sure there were damages beyond the most affected areas and suffering by those not directly in the earthquake areas. It is a major disaster and I wish them the best in their recovery.
My thoughts are with Morocco and it's people as well, especially after this big recent earthquake a few days ago.
That was incredible.
I'm sat in silence after this for a few minutes, just basking in the warm glow and heady feeling it created.
Thank you Noraly;
truly amazing.
Hey Itchy Boots and Friends, Thank you for the adventures, laughter and beautiful sights. Prayers Flying (from Michigan, United States) and safe travels for you all!
Another awesome video thank you so much ride safe
This group ride was definitely a great thing for them to do! So much laughter and challenging riding! 👍🏻🇺🇸
Been absolutely great viewing the last two episodes. Charly and Noraly are great together. Laughed so much with them. Thoroughly enjoyed thank you for stunning views and all 🎉
It’s such a shock to see a part of Morocco you passed through nearby has been stricken by an earthquake so badly. I hope the survivors get help as soon as possible. Btw, this video is beautiful.
My thoughts exactly
Looks like you had a terrific time in Spain/Adorra. What beautiful mountains and scenery! The small quaint towns are adorable and make me want to visit. I love watching your adventures, which is the next best thing.
Amazing. Great to see you all having fun and laughing together. Lovely.
Holy smokes Noraly, that downhill run was incredible. A serious challenge. Glad you survived it & rode it well. A bit of a stretch & development of your skill set? Agree that one doesn’t always have to follow, as made by another of your fellow riders. Fantastic scenery. Great drone shots. Beautiful little villages. I laughed when you mention the challenge of getting moving early with the boys who don’t seem to be early risers like you. Just another great video. As to a future bike change… we’ll, enjoy following you as you make that decision. Thanks again for a great post.
I'm a new rider but a longtime skier and I notice something from skiing that holds true in riding. When you are fearful you mess up. Charging and attacking is what makes you successful. I will often follow someone down a run that I wouldn't have done on my own and if I follow without thinking I do fine. When I stop and think of I should, then hesitantly follow... I will fall every time.
What a lovely video! Full of happiness, smiles and laughter. I loved the part where Charlie thumped the tyre and the cooperation between you all. It's truly Inspiring.
Noraly ive learnt so much following you on your journey across many borders,I feel a deep sadness for the devastating earthquake in Morocco, so many of the little villages in the Atlas mountains have been destroyed.Stay safe wherever you are.
I'm still cracking up with, "all this soup and only one spoon", while you all are trying to eat noodle soup. You all need to get those handy folding silverware things that look like pocket knives. Can put it on your belt or in your pocket, but always handy. I found myself pushing myself up in my chair getting ready to go over the rough & rocky terrain. LOL! Yes, at 73 yrs old, I still remember how to ride. LOL! Love seeing you all have such great adventures and rides. Thank you for sharing and refreshing memories of when my husband and I were younger and we went on our adventures thru the desert. Stay safe out there and happy travels.
I wasn't even aware that Andorra existed. What a beautiful place. Nice to see people together have so much fun while making a mission. This was such a great episode. Thanks, Noraly, Peace
It’s where entertainers and athletes live to minimize taxes. It’s also a very nice place, of course.
@@oklahomahank2378
It's beautiful.
Like old Europe.
It certainly is a beautiful place!
It’s also great for winter sports. Plenty of snow on the high ground (and also good toboggan runs if you have kids). Hotels are also good. Mainly Spanish speaking.
Officially, Catalan language, with a large Portuguese community...
What an absolutely outstanding episode from the whole ensemble 🎉
The scenery is sublime. The interaction between the 4 of you is hilarious and definitely what you have missed.
Applause to Noraly for following Killian (and keeping up with him) whilst Charly took the easier route.
We can all see that you're having an absolute blast on this Andorra journey.
Good to see you with friends and laughing. Charlie gets you and you get Charlie, a great friendship.
This looks like such a fun time. Happy for you Noraly. Laughter, friends and a great adventure what more could you ask for.
I'm so glad yall are enjoying this trip, friends mean so much in this world of pain and suffering, God bless and always take care and be safe 🙏
Friends, travel, fantastic scenery and beautiful humor! Noraly, I love your shared conversations with Charley, but what was the MOST fun was when you were saying NO - NO to the down hill line and then Charlie’s Cam “point-of-view” took the high road. Loved your camping spot!
@@kenc1800 ….. Yes, they did pick a beautiful camping spot… 👍🏻
@@kenc1800 I also found it comical / interesting to see CS took the high road. I bet it was a steeper downhill than it looked but camera can't show it. Watching Noraly handle this big bike in such rocky rutted washouts is impressive. The longer the ride the more fatigued you get. Yes what a magnificent camp experience. She is tough! Peace!
What better way to shake off all the stress and hardships of your West-Africa journey than to ride with friends! Loved all the smiles and laughter.
I think I watched the laughing section more than 20 times, specially when Charly dances. That was awesome Noraly and friends. Thanks.
Awesome group of riders! One of my favorite episodes! It’s great to see Noraly laughing so much!
The last two episodes have been absolutely fantastic, what an amazing trail to ride on, it was so isolated, but the scenery through the mountains was incredible, and the drone footage was fantastic! It comes through your voice and your commentary how much fun you are having and enjoying the ride. Nobody does it better!
Absolutely!
I couldn't agree with you more, Diane.
Wow Noraly, this is the best episode yet! The photography, the setting, Spain, the friendly nature of your companions. I was especially smitten by the lunch scene and the chatter in Spanish. Thank you for the reminder of how beautiful Spain can be.
Great fun. Noraly, you are a legend going down that track! I thought disaster was impending, but you did it! I loved all the happy laughter.
lovely to see you having fun with your friends. thanks for the video
It has been very enjoyable to see Noraly having a relaxed, laughter filled time with friends. What a spectacular place to ride!
I am envious of the camaraderie among Noraly, Charlie, Roel and Killian. What a wonderful group of friends to travel with. The friendship and scenery of the places you traveled was spectacular. I enjoyed every episode. Many thanks.
The word envious popped into my mind too. Awesome video.
Just love seeing you and Charly laughing.❤
Thanks Noraly you’re awesome 👏🏍️🇺🇸😎
It was so much fun watching this video. Even if we weren't physically part of it, it was so wonderful watching you have an incredible time with Charly, Roel and Killian. The laughter is contagious and the scenes are breathtaking
This episode was so much filled with good vibes. Excellent filmmaking!
I know that you love riding alone... but this episodes where you are with friends are way more wholesome. 🤩
Do it more often please, you smile a lot.
laughter the best medicine thats what it has been in this drive thru in spain even other wise when norally goes solo there is no dearth of laughter for her she smiles away all the difficult situations she faces in her solo trips amazing and awesome spain is
Anyone else find Noraly and Charles to be an amazing couple whether she likes it or not!!! They seem to never stop laughing together and have so much fun… She rides that DUC like a champ!!!
When she😅keeps upright ha ha
16:39
Keep on going. Its what we do even at the age of 72t
Yes thanks youre the best
Thanks
The laughter, friendship and adventure in a beautiful, peaceful country, perfect Noraly. Let's add Charlie always adds to the joy!
Somehow I always catch myself smiling and grinning watching the video’s. Thanks so much!
What an epic journey. There is nothing like a great ride with great friends.
Wow …. the scenery….the route….the laughter….this is healing ❤
What a ride and crew to be with!!! Beautiful area and the aerial views are incredible! The trails were challenging, yet you conquered all of them…. Lol…. Thank you for sharing these days in your life! Ride safe Noraly!
Shame that appears that motorcyclists have ruined them already.
I was thinking some of those tracks were even tougher than they looked on camera due to camera not showing the steepness. Loose, rocky, and rutted going up or down is tough, especially if you've been in the saddle for awhile pushing limits trying to follow Killian. Always amazed at how tough and humble she is. Peace!
@@jasonzerbini2375 ….. totally agree! These were some tough tracks and fortunately in the dry!
What a life on the back of a bike! I've had 37 motorcycles and nearly a million miles at 76 years old. Your ride with friends brings back so many wonderful memories! I'm living vicariously on these beautiful trails and the camaraderie of special friends!
Just awesome!! Thank you Noraly, Charlie, Roel and Killian!
Hi Noraly! This is one of the most beautiful videos I've watched on your channel so far. I've been following you for over two years now, and I've watched pretty much every video of yours. It's always a treat to see you explore new places by yourself, and do things so fearlessly that a lot of others won't even think of.
Traveling solo gives you an incredible sense of joy, but it felt lovely to watch you go out on a ride with friends, ride together, crash, help each other out, and end it all with a big laugh. The right group of friends can truly help you make some of the most beautiful memories, and when I saw you laughing on the ground at the end, I found myself laughing too, even though I had no idea what the joke was.
You're such a beautiful storyteller, and truly an inspiration to me. All the best, and I do hope to see more such content! :)
Agree 100% with you! Awesome video, and friendship, riding with friends is nice too!
This is probably the most entertaining of all the episodes I have viewed (and there are many). The laughter, the scenery, the friendships are all causes for celebrations. Thank you.
Such a great video! So wonderful seeing you have a fun adventure with your friends. Good friends are gold! I am a 69 year -old retired teacher and I am still riding a scrambler. I used to ride a dual purpose bike (KLR 650) but too heavy and too high centre of gravity. Keep the rubber side down, Noraly!
Noraly, this video is amazing, the quality of the images, the music, the friendship, … You killed it.
Thank you for entertaining all of us, thousands and thousands of people. THANK YOU AGAIN
Oh Noraly, it’s so good to see you laughing! I think we all needed this change of pace. Thanks for bringing us along and allowing us to smile along with you. Really enjoyed the last two episodes.
One spoon was all they had....but it was enough to stir the laughter and friendship together to give a smooth consistency to the Group Dynamic !!!! Great people, great bikes and great countryside !!! Thanks Noraly !!
Yes..everything was great and so is your comment!!
I totally agree! The few limitations were quickly overtaken by the laughter, fantastic views and 😅 friendship.
Noraly, you have a very contagious laugh lol😂❤️. The video was amazing! I loved all of this adventure! Just beautiful! So happy for all of you! 👏👏👏🙏❤️🇺🇸
I'm only 2 days late, and 9 mins into this, and like # 43 000, lol, and i love the change in your filming!!!
Its great to capture you in the distance, while the adventure happens. Can't imagine how much time is spent into piecing this video together!
I'll vote for you having the best producing here!!!
We miss you in Beautiful British Columbia ❤️
Yes , I agree this was an outstanding production! I’m certain that the editing was quite the challenge since she also used footage from the other riders! She has my vote on this one too!👍
Wow, what an adventure. LOVE this episode, especially all the laughter. When you can lay the bike over and laugh about it, that's a win😉. Thank you Noraly and Charlie for all the smiles at this end. 👍👍 Bob in Nevada
I associate ducati with high-tech sports motorcycles, I honestly don't understand bikes at all, but it seems to me that a motorcycle for traveling should be somewhat simpler so that it can be repaired in any hole in the world🙂
Indeed Ducatis are very good bikes. I don't think It can cross the Darien Gap in a boat or be repaired in the middle of Africa. Alaska just got out of a hearth wrenching surgery in someone's backyard.
@@roger38888I miss Alaska! She has such a nicer "purr" than the growl of this bike.
@@roger38888 yep ... as good as those guys may have been at working on a basic Honda I seriously doubt they have access to the Ducati digital diagnostic equipment or online service network 😉
Yeah find someone to work on a Ducatti in BFA and you're very, very, very lucky. Like go buy a lotto ticket immediately lucky. Stick with the big Japanese brands that are sold and maintained all over the entire world...the 250/300L can be fixed by almost anyone.
Same opinion.
Such a great and uplifting video. Great friends, motorbikes, stunning scenery, laughter and one spoon. Loved it; thank you.
There's nothing I'd rather see than our Noraly having a great belly laugh and having a good time with friends ❤
THAT was SO much fun! Glad to see you laughing and enjoying the comradery with the other riders. I was hoping you would get to try out Killian's smaller bike, but keeping up with him was impressive. Great video, thanks and Happy Trails to you!
Smuggling talent
Killian's AJP PR7 is roughly 2kg heavier than Noraly's CRF 300 Rally, so yes should have tried it.
Honestly, with this bunch of friends happy being together, plus the beautiful scenery, fun ride and heaps of laughter too, I don't miss the African adventure we started on...
How I wish this could go on a little bit more 🥰
Feels like there's a pinch in my heart when I saw and read the "Thank you" on the last part. I will definitely miss this group 🥰 that I learned to like and love.... From my heart, I wish each one of you the best of fun and experience and your safety wherever you choose to take your adventures...and more sponsors too
You do so well solo. but you do so well with companions! I have a tear in my eye from the true enjoyment you had with those wonderful guys! amazing scenery too.
Wow, super beautiful in those mountains!
Noraly's vídeos always have have excitement,fun, enthusiasm and energy.❤
We are waiting for the bikers wedding of the century. They have unfinished business back in El Salvador. Charly and Noraly🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
@@roger38888You have it right.
The laughter is contagious! Awesome videography and you've managed to capture the hearts of all of us with your video once again, Noraly.
What a refreshing change from jungle,mud and humidity. You did well Noraly. Those boys were testing you to the limit. I liked your honesty and the way you diplomatically skirted around a decision on the Ducati. It's a beautiful bike but too big and heavy for you. I bet your little Honda would have been in its element. Oh your filming was superb. Congrats.
There is much love in this video. Absolutely wonderful. 💖
Normally I am not really into videos of groups of bikers filming their outings together. This here is different. It's the Noraly-Touch, I guess. 🤗
Super lovely, I was laughing along with you lot, beautifully filmed in wonderful scenery and edited so perfectly! A real Gem! 🥰
😍🤗!!1!
Something is better than nothing, It's going to be a few long months 😧
@@johnhaque563The weeks will become long, but the Sundays will be very special days, just like they should! 🤗
The ending music was like I was experiencing the end of an epic adventure and it left me in a melancholy mood. This is how great Noraly is at creating her content. You really feel it! What an adventure! Can't wait until next Sunday!
How much fun that would be. Great to see you enjoying your time with friends.
This is just a feel good episode. Great video. Many thanks for the vicarious journey in Spain, made with good friends.
Such an wonderful pleasure seeing you so relaxed and just totally enjoying the ride, no deadlines to meet or trials to overcome, just great company and incredible locations (not that your or Charly's wider travels are any less spectacular). Thank you as always for allowing us along for the journey.
I used to teach motorcycling, and it great to see these trips. I am glad Noraly talks about the weight of the bike. A strong piece of advice is to never ride a machine that you can't lift up if you fall. Especially if you travel on remote and dirt roads.
Love when you and Charly ride together! Always lots of laughter. You two should think about riding together for one of your series. So fun for those of us watching you together. 💕
Thank you and your amazing friends for allowing me to live vicariously through your adventures. These are the few times, when I look back at life and wish I had told my younger self to be adventurous. Never stop laughing with friends, it is the cure for everything.
I’m so glad you have this opportunity to ride with friends. It’s great to see you have a chance to push yourself and take risks with your riding that you can’t when you are on your own!
Dear Noraly these episodes were interesting and prove that you are just as good as any of the men. In addition the Ducaties are too powerful and heavy for your travels. Did the others appreciate the surroundings. This was ok for a break but not the future. I sincerely look forward to the resumption of your best format. Best wishes for your future journey.
Laughter. Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful. There is no better medicine.
Charly is a great companion for a fun adventure.
Spain is so beautiful. Thank you Noraly, Charles, Killian, & Roel. You all should make a movie!!
Andorra is not Spain...
Andorra & Spain are beautiful. So technically, it was the border between Spain & France.
"I'm not following Killian..." riding behind him 😁 Amazing simply amazing!! Now, I would like to read someone saying that Noraly only rides small bikes and on easy off road roads. well done you Noraly!! 👍👍
One of the finest episode among all Noraly. I can find myself more connected to you adventure. I can tell we see a change in the way you express the emotions of the adventure. Thank you again for showing us this beautiful world. All the best. Waiting for the next one😊
The right kind of people for adventure right there! Thank you for putting a big smile on my face 😄
What an excellent video. Nothing better than a group of friends sharing a mutual love of the outdoors and motorcycling.
In deciding to follow that difficult route you showed real guts and your ability to ride much larger bikes on difficult terrain.
I hope you all have many more happy adventures.
A great outing with friends in some beautiful off-road tracks, it doesn't get much better. Thanks for taking us along...much appreciated.
The previous video and this videos have by far been the best adrenaline pumping videos. This is legendary and u taking the dangerous trail and nailing it on the ducati x was legendary. U are by far the best Nuraly. Legendary biker for life.... Hats off❤
Having a great time and riding with friends is priceless. I wouldn't trade it for anything. It's nice to see you not riding by yourself for a change. Enjoy and ride safe.
It's a pleasure to see what Charles brings out of you Noraly.What a change of pace.
Ver a Norali y Charly , juntos es un sueño!! Mis viajeros favoritos!! Los aprecio mucho!!desde Mendoza Argentina
a ver
I'm impressed! Your offroad riding skills have so much improved over the past years!
I enjoy all of your videos but this is one of my favourites. What a beautiful area of Spain & Andorra, amazing. And lots of laughter to show how much fun you all had.
