And it’s a wrap! The official last video of season 6.. 🥹 You have now also caught up with me in real-time, because I am still waiting for Alaska to arrive! During season 6, I had built up the time between filming and releasing episodes substantially. That had several reasons and advantages. That way, I could reach Alaska in time before winter, didn’t have to stress with deadlines, I could make sure there was an episode ready every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, I had time to race the Baja Rally and spend extra time on editing those videos. It also allowed me to keep my real-time location hidden, for my own safety, because the internet is mostly a beautiful but sometimes also a bit of a scary place :) But… shipping a motorcycle with sea freight is a time consuming hobby, so now all there is left to do is wait. Once my motorcycle arrives, I will start riding and filming and give myself a bit of a head start again so I can edit the first episodes before releasing them. Fingers crossed I can start soon because I am super excited to hit the road again! ❤❤ I wish everybody a very happy 2023 and talk soon!!
Congrats on producing a great season for us all to enjoy. Your videography and story telling is amazing and I'm looking forward to your next adventure!
Thank you Noraly for trusting me to make your visit to Alaska successful on Alaska! Trusting 2 KTM guys to rebuild your little Honda in a backyard shop was an immense honor! You were stressing with a smile and your usual positive attitude, energy and lightheartedness! It’s a true pleasure to work with people like yourself that keeps me doing what I do in the Motorcycle world! Good luck on your next adventures and keep in touch! Maybe we will see each other again someday, especially since we will be on the same continent next year! 😊
I think they deserve a better ending in the video for all their work, the bike got finished and that's it. I understand Noraly is grateful but it would be nice to thank them in the video!
In 2023, I watched this season. Every videos on this. Didn't missed a second. Took me while but i'm gladly watched all of it. I'm sorry my english is not that much good, but i must say it was amazing. And i felt that movement when you got emotional at the end movie. I thank you for your courage, bravery and for showing that amazing world to us. I can't tell you enough how happy to watch them. So thank you Noraly. I promis i will see the other seasons as well.
Exactly..and that begs the question..... Maybe she should have gone to mechanics school or similar? Although the geology knowledge does often improve and make unique her compilations.
I love the way Itchy Boots travels globally but thinks locally.... Always using local resources, like private mechanics, or the photographers that is the daughter of the local moving company owner... and on and on... Not only does she support locals, but she builds rapport, and we get to see the best of everyone she touches, interacting as a team..... It matters not the continent or the language spoken... Truly incredible, in my view!
I just finished a epic 4 day trip on my Husqvarna and one really awesome encounter I had was I encountered a stranger at a gas station and he asked me if I watched Itchy Boots! I was ecstatic, it was so cool having something in common with a stranger like that.
On behalf of everybody watching and following Itchy Boots I like to say thank you to the two guys who worked on the bike and all the supporting people and supplies 👍👍👍 Thank you 👍
Amazing work by both Bill and Darian for tearing down and rebuilding Alaska better and stronger for another 40,000 K. Also great job on beautifying Alaska Noraly, she is looking really spiffy.
I have watched a few other solo rider videos lately. I now know why I love your videos so much. You emphasis the ride and difficulties of the ride. We become aware of your stresses but mainly the ones you encountered riding. You also educate on the area you are riding through. Thanks for sharing and will patiently await the next season.
I think I've watched more of your videos than I've watched any tv show. You got a good thing going here. Alaska looks great. Looking forward to your next adventure!
Myself as well! I have been completely hooked, I used to ride dirt bikes, mopeds etc when I was young. I started riding a moped when I was about 7 years old approximately my feet couldn't even touch the pedals my dad had to start it for me and off I went. This makes me want to get back into all of that. I even bought some of her merch. Absolutely love the videos better than a TV show for sure. 👍
Can’t wait for the next adventure.. I have shown your videos to my granddaughters, 7 & 5 years old. Every time I see them they ask about where you are and if they can watch another video!! You are a true and positive ambassador of the motorcycling community!
I love all you are doing Norally. As an older rider,that has hit a wall physically, hip replacements, arthritis, I live through you! I enjoy all you do, you make me feel like I am still riding! Thank you! We love your adventures and many of us, who can not ride anymore, we watch and dream through your adventures. Please, when your in a rough spot, know, thousands of new riders, thousands of veterans and any one between that gap, love you! You are the strength when I know my legs couldn't do that ride! I and many others love and respect you! you are living our dreams we didn't we had , and we wish you well! Thank You!
Well said Chris. I also gave up bikes due to hips on the way out but I tried and bought a Honda Forza maxi scooter instead and loving it, the step through just makes it possible and once on that comfortable seat I'm away again hopefully for another decade 'til I'm 90. 🙂
Well, not only did you do it right, you did it your way! You not only did all of that, but by being involved it the rebuild, you now have a much better knowledge and understanding of how ALASKA is put together and how she works. Beautiful! Great to see you set off on another adventure and best of all!….you’re taking us along!!! Take care, we’re anxious to explore with you.
I have been watching some of the previous videos during this hiatus and just had a great laugh while watching a live stream from December 2019. Itchy Boots was answering a question about how fast does she rides and mentions that she doesn't ever expect to go blasting down a dirt road at 80 or 90 kph. Of course I flashed back (forward) to her spending a bit of time plucking out cactus thorns after crashing in her Baja Rally! To her credit she does state later in the video, " Well you never know whats going to happen" She brightens my days and is an antidote to all the doom and gloom.
This season was my first experience with Noraly. I really like your positivity even when you're obviously having a hard time. Itchy Boots never becomes Bitchy Boots.
@@alvinsmith3894 I work in oil factory and believe me women are complaining more then man even when they do less hard and dangerous work. Dont look it like that its just random, depends what type of men or woman are coming to your work. Noraly is one in million humble, respective and capable of traveling whole globe person. sry for bad grammar
Thanks a ton bill and company for helping rebuild Alaska, you guys have worked tremendously hard not just for Noraly but for all her die hard fans who are eager to experience her next adventure.
this year has been a turning point for me, Itchy boots "would bite a fly" and after years I was able to ride my own motorcycle 😍 You can't understate how great, the only inspiration *Noraly* has been😃 Thank you! ! !! You made the year memorable 😊 2023 is not believed to be good, but let's make it good👍
@@johnhemming9721 por ahí donde es? Sabes en que continente será la próxima temporada? Yo sospecho de que pueda ser Australia, pero no estoy seguro, también podría ser chiná, Japón, etc..... Saludos y feliz día 😊👋👋👋👋👋👍
What a build! What a great group working on Alaska. I have enjoyed this season so much. I wish I had done something like this maybe 50 years or so ago. But I still ride, street and dirt. I bought a Himayalian this year and she will continue to explore my beloved Oregon, thinking about Noraly's further adventures! Can't wait!
Alaska looks like a brand new bike! I love the new look. You both deserve all the upgrades after all your miles of riding. I’m excited to see where your next adventure takes you! It’s winter in Minnesota so I spend alot of time watching you ride and living vicariously through your adventures. Thank you for all of the time and effort you put into your videos and thank you for sharing the adventures with us! 🎉
I didn't realize how much I enjoyed your videos until you aren't on anymore. Your interactions with people and being at new locations my favorite. Down the dirt roads not so much since I live in a western state and get all that I want
She looks awesome !! Noraly is so hands on!! So as 2022 comes to a close..what an eventful year this has been for Itchy Boots, hey? In the TH-cam world- you either have “it” or you don’t. The insanely successful Itchy Boots channel has proven she has “it”. She has a genuine and natural ease in front of the camera. She has an uncanny ability to engage and capture her audience with her super charismatic personality. She has become a master filmmaker and content producer. Thank you Noraly..keep following your dreams and let your big heart of gold guide you to your next destination. We will keep following you no matter what content you choose to produce. So remember folks to like and subscribe her videos…that is the best way to say “Thank You”. Let’s go Itchy Boots! See you in the next video! Cheers to you Noraly! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!❤❤🎉🎉
It has all came to another bitter sweet end again, Noraly. You look very happy with yourself. It shows you are on top of things in Alaska and happy with Alaska your new old bike. Moreover, the success of riding through two continents. In addition, you just completed another milestone by participating in Alaska's rebuilding. Understanding mechanical systems enables a person to prevent unnecessary wear and damage. I can't wait to view your upcoming adventure. Cheers, Leon
So awesome that you were able to be in the shop and be an integral part of the rebuild. Loved the rebuild music, too. 😀 Alaska's first startup sounded like "Let's Go!" That deep orange and black combo is sa-weet! The tinted windscreen does give a touch of Batmobile. And, of COURSE, the shipping guy just happened to have a professional photographer as a daughter. 😁 So now I have a chance to backtrack to some of my favorites of your past adventures while you prepare for the next continent - yippee!
Norally , Thank you for an incredible year of exploring and discovering all the world holds for us. You took us there and I hope you show us more. One trip around the world and you shift degrees a few, you will see another whole new world. We need you ! RIDE my Friend RIDE!
Alaska is even more beautiful than she was new! WOW! Ready to Rock and Roll!! I am really, really looking forward to your adventures on the "NEXT" continent! Best Wishes for the New Year! 💖💖🏍🤠
Awesome season, Noraly! So glad you extended it to the Baja rally and the Alaska rebuild. I can't wait to see what's next. If it does turn out to be Australia, and there's anything you need a hand with in Victoria, hit me up.
Probably is Australia, either that or finish the trip she originally wanted to make in Africa. But that kine of meticulous cleaning normally only happens when you ship a bike to Australia.
Awesome Noraly, you bring faith to the world, so much respect for the shop that fixed your bike never be embarrassed to check a manual that is what a good mechanic should do. Greetings from Holland (the Netherlands).
Thank you so much for your work. Watching your videos has inspired our young children to want to travel the world and not be afraid to try new things. They were so tickled when you traveled through areas that we have been to.
We will be taking a cross country trip with the kids in a few months. They want to document it just like you do. We will let you know and I'll have the kids comment to you the highlights. Thanks so much for continuing to inspire.
@@rjp3427 She mentioned Japan once as well but all of the northern hemisphere is wintertime. Actually I am gonna predict New Zealand first, then Australia. I remember she said she had no desire to return to Australia but she is allowed to change her mind :) :)
I am looking forward to seeing your next adventures and how much Alaska has improved with her new upgrades. I am also glad to see you are becoming a mechanic.
Well Noraly, I think you have hit the "big time" once you start receiving parts with your youtube handle engraved on them you have made it. Love you and your content. I so look forward to any new adventures you will be on. Best Wishes for the New Year. "Go Itchy Boots"
Noraly looks like a pro turning wrenches. The exhaust looks great and sounds really good. All the comfort changes are always worth it. Alaska’s make over and upgrades were a huge success. 👍🏻
Australia is my guess too. I really hope so. It’s my favorite country besides the USA. Alaska looks beautiful. WOW. It’s hard to think of the first time she’s dropped. Thanks for the great adventure Noraly. 🥰
I did this with my first 125 back in '84. re sprayed the frame and lost a vital earthing point somewhere. new headlamp every other month was the result. Never again. The taller windscreen looks like a great idea. It will translate into much less stress on your lower lumbar spine muscles. Go Noraly, looking forward to the next mission
What an amazing rebuild from being gutted and completely refinished! Kudos to your mechanic team in Alaska! Your bike, Alaska, looks good as new, even better with the upgrades and enhancements. Alaska's new muffler is the bomb! Great to hear you feel comfortable and love the ride you're getting, but the slightly higher rise may take getting used to on rougher terrain, as you are such an able and skilled rider, that won't be an issue. I can't wait to see you continue your adventures, explorations, and discoveries by putting yourself through natural and inner character tests beyond even what you may expect. I am kept in suspense about where Alaska is being shipped to... what lucky continent is next? Will it be the Australian outback to continue your Baja rally experience? Asia? Africa? You've done the western hemisphere, so there's still lots of world left for you to conquer on Alaska! As usual, I wish you God's blessings, great luck, and godspeed Noraly Itchy Boots!
My experience has showed me that Hondas will run upside down you're filming is great thank you I am 77-year-old self ordained Choctaw Indian medicine man certainly appreciate you let me ride with you love it be safe
Noraly you had one of the best rally teacher in california. Just got the news from masen klein. First after the 2.stage in the big dakar rallye. All the best for you in 2023 from switzerland. Peter
Alaska looks beautiful, she looks like an entirely new bike, I love her aggressive new shoes too, hope they help with the grip on the next trip, KEEP 2 DOWN BOOTS AND MAX WRIST!!!!
Hi Noraly, always wonderful and congratulations for completing the 6th season not without difficulties and inconveniences but brilliantly overcome thanks to your skills, your constancy, your common sense and even a small dose of luck (...which doesn't hurt never!!!!!!). Best wishes for a happy 2023 and thank you for the wonderful adventures you will give us.
I've had 3 Hondas in my life. Watching Itchy Boots has me looking for another. I can't wait to get back on two wheels again. Looking forward to the next season.
Many Thanks Noraly for a very enjoyable 2022 season following you. Looking forward to your new adventures in 2023. Your bike looks totally transformed, the upgrades are just what you needed for further adventures.
Wow. At first I was thinking it would be a lot cheaper to just sell Alaska and buy a new bike, but by being so involved in a complete rebuild with two dedicated and talented technicians, adding all the higher quality aftermarket parts, and a fantastic decaling job, you have made Alaska something special and far beyond what a new bike would be. Great job, and I look forward to your next adventures.
@@ralphgesler5110 Yes indeed. And I think she definitely has a sentimental attachment to that motorcycle that took her all away from almost Antarctica to the top of the western hemisphere.
I love that she is getting her hands dirty , wrenching on her bike! I wouldn’t be surprised, now that she know a lot more about the process,she will be even more involved, or just tackle these jobs herself someday.
These two videos about the tear down and build up of the machine are such gems on this top notch content channel, thanks again for giving us such great insights!
Great build. Wow that's a lot of broken parts. Blessings to have great friends that can build and fix things. Can't wait for the next journey. Stay strong and healthy. 🙏✌️
I have absolutely loved watching your adventures in season 6 Noraly. You have made me feel like I am there again and that I will return one day for a motorcycle adventure of my own. 😊 Thank you for putting out such uplifting and positive content.
“Such a pretty engine” Noraly speaks my language albeit with an accent. :) Alaska turned out great with the new look. I have the same Mosko Moto tank bag and can attest to the quality of their gear. Really enjoyed this season and look forward to the next one. Safe travels.
I have always appreciated and love who you are. Those who prefer to be alone are intelligent, conscious about time, value time, good at planning their lives etc etc. l too love to be alone. Great scientists like Edison and many others prefer to be alone. I love your determination the moment I watched the first video ‘Kick Off’ Lots of love from all of us. Ride safe and may you be a star of all the bikers out there.
I have learned more about the world through you and Eva's adventures than I did in 4 years of college. Your videos should be required as homework in our education classes during high school here in the USA. Don't ever give up on pointing things out based on your Geology background - you rock!
She doesn't use patreons and when was the last time that one of her videos was interrupted to run an ad. Hmmm, can't remember one, ever. She has the most intensely blue eyes I've ever seen. Yep, she's a robot. No, actually she is one of the purest Adventurers on TH-cam and I hate to miss an episode, and I ride everyday. Discovery Channel has nothing like Noraly. Brilliant! See you soon.
Hi Noraly , being from Australia I'm a fan of Toby but it's like watching a friend now that you have introduced us to Mason . And may I say what so many others have said and that is that your travels are so inspiring and as a follower of yours if you do make Australia your next trip there is room in the bike garage and a spare room in the house if you need a few days off in Perth. It would be an honour to meet you , Kind regards John
As a 30+ year bike technician, that was an absolute ton of work on that rebuild! I bet if you were to film the entire thing, it would be over 20 hours of work! Those fellows did a great job, and it's awesome you got to join them and film it! I'm looking forward to the new season!! The bike looks fantastic!
@Daren Beard those are the best kind man. I really enjoyed watching you guys get it back in order! You think that shaft may of not got quite the heat treatment most do? Those things usually last the life of a Honda. I know she's put it through the wringer, but I've seen a ton of sprokets wear out in the splines before the countershaft does. Maybe that crazy volcanic sand or something.
I really think it's one of the forum things where it does happen to these bikes and just riding across the world it was hard to catch. You know how it is, sometimes that one bike has that weird problem. Seems like I see something new everyday with bike.
Simply the most anticipated VLOG on TH-cam, thank you for the quality of your content and storytelling, You are a beautiful person, your energy, enthusiasm and tenacity are a joy, living your best life! 👍
The little 300 is looking bad-ass! Proper mirrors, proper exhaust,... Very nice!!! I would prefer a clear winshield as well, but that dark one goes well with the rest of the bike. Looking forward to see the bike back in action!
Holy Smokes Noraly, way too many superlatives to mention, but a huge thumbs up for all you have accomplished, for me, an education like no other. Looking forward to your next high adventure on your upgraded and improved Alaska.
What a thorough, expert tear-down and re-build of the bike! Loving the new graphics. I especially like the new windscreen, handle bars, wheels, tires, sprockets, brake rotors, seat, and the Double-Take mirrors. You’ve definitely earned a break, so we hope you get some rest. Good Vibrations
Wow wow wow you are a massive inspiration. I stumbled on one of your videos and am now captivated by them and are currently sat watching them back to back I have shared them with some of my biking friends. I served in the military for 24 years I have parachuted, dived, skied and seen what I thought was a lot of the world but following you has made me think , I have infact seen little. Your personality and smile make the video worth watching alone. Please keep up the good work.
Great that you met Bill and were able to have a thorough rebuild of Alaska by a competent team! Anxiously awaiting your next adventure and getting to see another continent though your eyes. I hope that Alaska is in a speed boat! Lol…. Ride safe and Happy New Year Noraly!
She's going to take some heat no matter what she does but, in this case, she absolutely did the right thing. Considering what that motorcycle is going to do and where it's going to do it, it makes perfect sense to go through it after it has some run time to see what problems could be brewing. I don't think most riders have any clue as to how common it is for the people that know to go through something just to see how it is.
I wonder if Noraly will ever consider doing a tour of the United States. There are so many places I'm sure she would be amazed to see or experience the ride. Seeing things like Crater Lake in Oregon or riding around Mt.Rainier Washington would be really cool for her. And let's not forget the "Ape Caves" lava tubes in Washington state where one can walk maybe 3 miles underground inside them!
i spent a good portion of my life traveling on public transportation or my sailboat. you have opened my eyes to the wonder of dirt roads only. that's the real road. many places we've both seen. even cayous cuchino, between Honduras and the bay island. I'm transfixed by your pleasure in seeking out "first nation people". thank you
Thank you for this season 🙏 Because you said that the airfreight is expensive and that you will go with the seafreight, My guess is that the location for the next season is Australian!!!
Totally enjoyed the Alaska season I’ve been subscribed since the early days and consider this the best adventure. Looking forward to your next travels please take the opportunity to rest up if you can, take care and safe travels.
Big congratulations to you Noraly for finishing your trip and somehow managing to shoehorn the Baja rally in! Love from me and my wife here in NZ. Oh, and I know you are not landing here because we are not on a continent! Cheers, Al
Alaska looks awesome after the rebuild. The new graphics are sweet. Looking forward to your next adventure in whatever part of the world you're off to next.
Great technician, full attention to details, using torque wrench, verifying every step of the process, simple explanations but totally understandable, congratulations.
We share similar gearhead disease as most motorcycle people do, we like to upgrade stock bikes and make them better for our use. Like the new graphics and glad to see you continue to do what you do so well making videos and riding your motorcycle. Ride on!
And it’s a wrap! The official last video of season 6.. 🥹 You have now also caught up with me in real-time, because I am still waiting for Alaska to arrive! During season 6, I had built up the time between filming and releasing episodes substantially. That had several reasons and advantages. That way, I could reach Alaska in time before winter, didn’t have to stress with deadlines, I could make sure there was an episode ready every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, I had time to race the Baja Rally and spend extra time on editing those videos. It also allowed me to keep my real-time location hidden, for my own safety, because the internet is mostly a beautiful but sometimes also a bit of a scary place :)
But… shipping a motorcycle with sea freight is a time consuming hobby, so now all there is left to do is wait. Once my motorcycle arrives, I will start riding and filming and give myself a bit of a head start again so I can edit the first episodes before releasing them.
Fingers crossed I can start soon because I am super excited to hit the road again! ❤❤
I wish everybody a very happy 2023 and talk soon!!
Happy New Year! All the best Noraly!
Hope God be always with your Alaska and you be safe 👍🏽👍🏽😆
And advance happy New year 2023 😆
Can't wait for the next experience to begin. 🏆👊🏻👍🏻

A Big Bravo to the Mechanics. They know what they are doing. Not very many nlike them.
How wonderful and unusual the mechanics let Noraly help.

Alaska is playing the piano again!🤗
I think they deserve a better ending in the video for all their work, the bike got finished and that's it. I understand Noraly is grateful but it would be nice to thank them in the video!

My guess is Australia for the next season.
As a expat in the US, i would like to see that trip.
Yes that's what I thought after yesterday's video. Because of the fuel tank and because she has been everywhere else
Guessed that too.
If it is Australia I hope she meets with Adam from Motology films!
@@santaclause007 Africa…?
Just wanted to say thank you for showing the whole rebuild. Us gear-heads really appreciate it.
True!
Yes I agree this old gear head is very thankful for being able to see the whole rebuild. Thank you Noraly!

@@johnhemming9721 por ahí donde es?
Sabes en que continente será la próxima temporada?
Yo sospecho de que pueda ser Australia, pero no estoy seguro, también podría ser chiná, Japón, etc.....
Saludos y feliz día 😊👋👋👋👋👋👍
Happy New Year Itchi Boots and ride safe for your new episode with Alaska. Cheers!

What a build! What a great group working on Alaska. I have enjoyed this season so much. I wish I had done something like this maybe 50 years or so ago. But I still ride, street and dirt. I bought a Himayalian this year and she will continue to explore my beloved Oregon, thinking about Noraly's further adventures! Can't wait!
Alaska looks like a brand new bike! I love the new look. You both deserve all the upgrades after all your miles of riding. I’m excited to see where your next adventure takes you! It’s winter in Minnesota so I spend alot of time watching you ride and living vicariously through your adventures. Thank you for all of the time and effort you put into your videos and thank you for sharing the adventures with us! 🎉
I didn't realize how much I enjoyed your videos until you aren't on anymore. Your interactions with people and being at new locations my favorite. Down the dirt roads not so much since I live in a western state and get all that I want
You are looking so healthy - the break has obviously done you good. Can't wait for the next adventure to begin. Happy New year Noraly.
She looks awesome !! Noraly is so hands on!! So as 2022 comes to a close..what an eventful year this has been for Itchy Boots, hey? In the TH-cam world- you either have “it” or you don’t. The insanely successful Itchy Boots channel has proven she has “it”. She has a genuine and natural ease in front of the camera. She has an uncanny ability to engage and capture her audience with her super charismatic personality. She has become a master filmmaker and content producer. Thank you Noraly..keep following your dreams and let your big heart of gold guide you to your next destination. We will keep following you no matter what content you choose to produce. So remember folks to like and subscribe her videos…that is the best way to say “Thank You”. Let’s go Itchy Boots! See you in the next video! Cheers to you Noraly! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!❤❤🎉🎉
Well said , I totally agree 👍.
Those guys are really really experts on it. It's so good to watch them doing their job. Alaska is back again!
As a person who has rebuilt several Bikes from the ground up, I truly can appreciate what I just watched. Alaska turned out amazing !!
It has all came to another bitter sweet end again, Noraly. You look very happy with yourself. It shows you are on top of things in Alaska and happy with Alaska your new old bike. Moreover, the success of riding through two continents. In addition, you just completed another milestone by participating in Alaska's rebuilding. Understanding mechanical systems enables a person to prevent unnecessary wear and damage. I can't wait to view your upcoming adventure. Cheers, Leon
So awesome that you were able to be in the shop and be an integral part of the rebuild. Loved the rebuild music, too. 😀 Alaska's first startup sounded like "Let's Go!" That deep orange and black combo is sa-weet! The tinted windscreen does give a touch of Batmobile. And, of COURSE, the shipping guy just happened to have a professional photographer as a daughter. 😁
So now I have a chance to backtrack to some of my favorites of your past adventures while you prepare for the next continent - yippee!
Such a joy to follow the mechanics’ descriptions of the details!
Norally , Thank you for an incredible year of exploring and discovering all the world holds for us. You took us there and I hope you show us more. One trip around the world and you shift degrees a few, you will see another whole new world. We need you ! RIDE my Friend RIDE!
Alaska is even more beautiful than she was new! WOW! Ready to Rock and Roll!!
I am really, really looking forward to your adventures on the "NEXT" continent!
Best Wishes for the New Year! 💖💖🏍🤠
Awesome season, Noraly! So glad you extended it to the Baja rally and the Alaska rebuild. I can't wait to see what's next. If it does turn out to be Australia, and there's anything you need a hand with in Victoria, hit me up.
OZ & NZ would be my guess as well. Especially this time of the year
I am waiting for you in Sunny Queensland, free board & lodging, and I speak Dutch and play Klaverjas.
Probably is Australia, either that or finish the trip she originally wanted to make in Africa. But that kine of meticulous cleaning normally only happens when you ship a bike to Australia.
Really enjoy you're videos and trips
Awesome Noraly, you bring faith to the world, so much respect for the shop that fixed your bike never be embarrassed to check a manual that is what a good mechanic should do. Greetings from Holland (the Netherlands).
got a message from ïtchy roots 165.. to pm?
Thank you so much for your work. Watching your videos has inspired our young children to want to travel the world and not be afraid to try new things. They were so tickled when you traveled through areas that we have been to.
We will be taking a cross country trip with the kids in a few months. They want to document it just like you do. We will let you know and I'll have the kids comment to you the highlights. Thanks so much for continuing to inspire.
IF I had to make a wild guess. I'd say your going to Australia. Happy New Year, and new adventures! =D
I am thinking same here😁😁😁😁so love this blue eye girl so full of life
That is my guess as well. Return to her geology roots.
In the past she said she has no desire to go back there again. My guess was Mongolia, but you could be right.
@@rjp3427 She mentioned Japan once as well but all of the northern hemisphere is wintertime. Actually I am gonna predict New Zealand first, then Australia. I remember she said she had no desire to return to Australia but she is allowed to change her mind :) :)
me too, it was my first tought!
I am looking forward to seeing your next adventures and how much Alaska has improved with her new upgrades. I am also glad to see you are becoming a mechanic.
Well Noraly, I think you have hit the "big time" once you start receiving parts with your youtube handle engraved on them you have made it. Love you and your content. I so look forward to any new adventures you will be on. Best Wishes for the New Year. "Go Itchy Boots"
Its funny how people that have the most beautiful smiles have a lot of grief and hardship behind them. Great travels Lady.
Noraly looks like a pro turning wrenches. The exhaust looks great and sounds really good. All the comfort changes are always worth it. Alaska’s make over and upgrades were a huge success. 👍🏻
Hopefully she also put collapsable rearview mirrors ...
@@francopieracci2113 DoubleTake?!?! Yes, Noraly’s mirrors are here for a good time not a longtime. 😂
@@francopieracci2113 ha ha! I was thinking that same thing when I saw her installing them. We should take bets on how long they'll last!
Australia is my guess too. I really hope so. It’s my favorite country besides the USA. Alaska looks beautiful. WOW. It’s hard to think of the first time she’s dropped. Thanks for the great adventure Noraly. 🥰
First place I thought of when she made mention of gas (un)availability...
@@djmd808 is it harder to access gas in the wide open areas?
@@marioelburro1492 yes, you can sometimes go 500+ kilometres between gas stations
I did this with my first 125 back in '84. re sprayed the frame and lost a vital earthing point somewhere. new headlamp every other month was the result. Never again. The taller windscreen looks like a great idea. It will translate into much less stress on your lower lumbar spine muscles. Go Noraly, looking forward to the next mission
Normally you inspire me to ride cleaner and harder to become a better rider. Motorcycles are my passion. Thx for letting us ride along!
Absolutely love her positivity ! When the situation hands her lemons, she makes lemonade. Others would complain but Itchy just takes it as it comes !
What an amazing rebuild from being gutted and completely refinished! Kudos to your mechanic team in Alaska! Your bike, Alaska, looks good as new, even better with the upgrades and enhancements. Alaska's new muffler is the bomb! Great to hear you feel comfortable and love the ride you're getting, but the slightly higher rise may take getting used to on rougher terrain, as you are such an able and skilled rider, that won't be an issue. I can't wait to see you continue your adventures, explorations, and discoveries by putting yourself through natural and inner character tests beyond even what you may expect. I am kept in suspense about where Alaska is being shipped to... what lucky continent is next? Will it be the Australian outback to continue your Baja rally experience? Asia? Africa? You've done the western hemisphere, so there's still lots of world left for you to conquer on Alaska! As usual, I wish you God's blessings, great luck, and godspeed Noraly Itchy Boots!
My experience has showed me that Hondas will run upside down you're filming is great thank you I am 77-year-old self ordained Choctaw Indian medicine man certainly appreciate you let me ride with you love it be safe
Noraly you had one of the best rally teacher in california.
Just got the news from masen klein. First after the 2.stage in the big dakar rallye.
All the best for you in 2023 from switzerland.
Peter
Alaska looks beautiful, she looks like an entirely new bike, I love her aggressive new shoes too, hope they help with the grip on the next trip, KEEP 2 DOWN BOOTS AND MAX WRIST!!!!
Hi Noraly, always wonderful and congratulations for completing the 6th season not without difficulties and inconveniences but brilliantly overcome thanks to your skills, your constancy, your common sense and even a small dose of luck (...which doesn't hurt never!!!!!!). Best wishes for a happy 2023 and thank you for the wonderful adventures you will give us.
Can't wait to see where you're off to next! My dream is to be able to freely travel like you! Thank you for sharing your journey!
After selling my last bike 5 years ago, I'm ready to buy another this spring. This channel has finally done that to me.
I've had 3 Hondas in my life. Watching Itchy Boots has me looking for another. I can't wait to get back on two wheels again.
Looking forward to the next season.
Bought a Himalayan last year after 15 year hiatus. All Noraly's fault :-) Love it riding again.
Well i'm pretty sure that you'll gona do the next trip to Australia, and maybe New Zealand as well. ( well in a way oceanic continent )
Many Thanks Noraly for a very enjoyable 2022 season following you.
Looking forward to your new adventures in 2023. Your bike looks totally transformed, the upgrades are just what you needed for further adventures.
Wow. At first I was thinking it would be a lot cheaper to just sell Alaska and buy a new bike, but by being so involved in a complete rebuild with two dedicated and talented technicians, adding all the higher quality aftermarket parts, and a fantastic decaling job, you have made Alaska something special and far beyond what a new bike would be. Great job, and I look forward to your next adventures.
@@ralphgesler5110 Yes indeed. And I think she definitely has a sentimental attachment to that motorcycle that took her all away from almost Antarctica to the top of the western hemisphere.
Plus, this process would benefit in the event of the next break down, she will know the bike inside and out.
I love that she is getting her hands dirty , wrenching on her bike! I wouldn’t be surprised, now that she know a lot more about the process,she will be even more involved, or just tackle these jobs herself someday.
Well thought out setup, proactive rebuild, and nicely planned photo op and shipping. I am betting Alaska will be AKA Australia in a few months!
These two videos about the tear down and build up of the machine are such gems on this top notch content channel, thanks again for giving us such great insights!
Great build. Wow that's a lot of broken parts. Blessings to have great friends that can build and fix things. Can't wait for the next journey. Stay strong and healthy. 🙏✌️
I have absolutely loved watching your adventures in season 6 Noraly. You have made me feel like I am there again and that I will return one day for a motorcycle adventure of my own. 😊 Thank you for putting out such uplifting and positive content.
you are an extraordinary person and a role model for all adventurers 🥰
From Puerto Rico, USA. A little island 110 x 35 miles, in the Caribbean. God bless you in your new adventure.
“Such a pretty engine” Noraly speaks my language albeit with an accent. :) Alaska turned out great with the new look. I have the same Mosko Moto tank bag and can attest to the quality of their gear. Really enjoyed this season and look forward to the next one. Safe travels.
Alaska looks awesome. I’m guessing you are heading to Australia but I’d really love to see you travel through Mongolia!!
My guess would be Australia too. It's summer down there right now.
definitely Australia ^^.
Either Australia and/or New Zealand, or what?
Another for Australia
She told me Australia 🤣🤣🤣
I have always appreciated and love who you are.
Those who prefer to be alone are intelligent, conscious about time, value time, good at planning their lives etc etc.
l too love to be alone. Great scientists like Edison and many others prefer to be alone.
I love your determination the moment I watched the first video ‘Kick Off’
Lots of love from all of us.
Ride safe and may you be a star of all the bikers out there.
Noraly when alaska idling the exhaust sound incredible... wow... 🥰
Alaska’s new look is awesome and thanks for the scenery as always
I have learned more about the world through you and Eva's adventures than I did in 4 years of college. Your videos should be required as homework in our education classes during high school here in the USA. Don't ever give up on pointing things out based on your Geology background - you rock!
Wow, is this the same bike? Awesome. Fantastic job to the 3 of you!
We cry after seen this episode . We love you Norali . Love You so much
She doesn't use patreons and when was the last time that one of her videos was interrupted to run an ad. Hmmm, can't remember one, ever. She has the most intensely blue eyes I've ever seen. Yep, she's a robot. No, actually she is one of the purest Adventurers on TH-cam and I hate to miss an episode, and I ride everyday. Discovery Channel has nothing like Noraly. Brilliant! See you soon.
Just been watching the Dakar and you must be so happy that your friend Mason is doing so well , he a having an awsome ride , go well 🇦🇺
Hi Noraly , being from Australia I'm a fan of Toby but it's like watching a friend now that you have introduced us to Mason . And may I say what so many others have said and that is that your travels are so inspiring and as a follower of yours if you do make Australia your next trip there is room in the bike garage and a spare room in the house if you need a few days off in Perth. It would be an honour to meet you ,
Kind regards
John
As a 30+ year bike technician, that was an absolute ton of work on that rebuild! I bet if you were to film the entire thing, it would be over 20 hours of work! Those fellows did a great job, and it's awesome you got to join them and film it! I'm looking forward to the new season!! The bike looks fantastic!
We were there for a good three days but there were definitely some breaks! Not exactly a flat rate job so we took our time.
@Daren Beard those are the best kind man. I really enjoyed watching you guys get it back in order! You think that shaft may of not got quite the heat treatment most do? Those things usually last the life of a Honda. I know she's put it through the wringer, but I've seen a ton of sprokets wear out in the splines before the countershaft does. Maybe that crazy volcanic sand or something.
I really think it's one of the forum things where it does happen to these bikes and just riding across the world it was hard to catch. You know how it is, sometimes that one bike has that weird problem. Seems like I see something new everyday with bike.
@Daren Beard yep, same here. Always a goofy issue here and there for sure! Enjoy the new year man.
probably cheaper to buy new bike than rebuild and ship the old one
Simply the most anticipated VLOG on TH-cam, thank you for the quality of your content and storytelling, You are a beautiful person, your energy, enthusiasm and tenacity are a joy, living your best life! 👍
Something to keep in mind at stoplights is the center often has the most oil build up. Generally is a good idea to stay to the left or right.
Never thought about it that way. Make sense.
Alaska looks amazing! Great job on the upgrades!
The little 300 is looking bad-ass! Proper mirrors, proper exhaust,... Very nice!!!
I would prefer a clear winshield as well, but that dark one goes well with the rest of the bike.
Looking forward to see the bike back in action!
Just watching you around bikes, it's like your mind is in constant motion... always learning! As always, thanks for inviting us along.
Holy Smokes Noraly, way too many superlatives to mention, but a huge thumbs up for all you have accomplished, for me, an education like no other. Looking forward to your next high adventure on your upgraded and improved Alaska.
What a thorough, expert tear-down and re-build of the bike!
Loving the new graphics.
I especially like the new windscreen, handle bars, wheels, tires, sprockets, brake rotors, seat, and the Double-Take mirrors.
You’ve definitely earned a break, so we hope you get some rest.
Good Vibrations
I wonder the cost of rebuild was greater than the sales one?
Here in socal that rate is $150/hour 😀
I like Alaska in darker colours, Happy New Year to all of you, Noraly, Alaska, Internet, sisters&brothers, let's gooo!!!
Wow wow wow you are a massive inspiration. I stumbled on one of your videos and am now captivated by them and are currently sat watching them back to back I have shared them with some of my biking friends. I served in the military for 24 years I have parachuted, dived, skied and seen what I thought was a lot of the world but following you has made me think , I have infact seen little. Your personality and smile make the video worth watching alone. Please keep up the good work.
Great that you met Bill and were able to have a thorough rebuild of Alaska by a competent team! Anxiously awaiting your next adventure and getting to see another continent though your eyes. I hope that Alaska is in a speed boat! Lol…. Ride safe and Happy New Year Noraly!
She's going to take some heat no matter what she does but, in this case, she absolutely did the right thing. Considering what that motorcycle is going to do and where it's going to do it, it makes perfect sense to go through it after it has some run time to see what problems could be brewing. I don't think most riders have any clue as to how common it is for the people that know to go through something just to see how it is.
@@jerrym3261…. You’re right, most don’t have a clue. They just ride.
I have really enjoyed listening and seeing her adventures.takes me back to my youth. Safe travels and best wishes
I wonder if Noraly will ever consider doing a tour of the United States. There are so many places I'm sure she would be amazed to see or experience the ride. Seeing things like Crater Lake in Oregon or riding around Mt.Rainier Washington would be really cool for her. And let's not forget the "Ape Caves" lava tubes in Washington state where one can walk maybe 3 miles underground inside them!
i spent a good portion of my life traveling on public transportation or my sailboat. you have opened my eyes to the wonder of dirt roads only. that's the real road. many places we've both seen. even cayous cuchino, between Honduras and the bay island. I'm transfixed by your pleasure in seeking out "first nation people". thank you
Thank you for this season 🙏
Because you said that the airfreight is expensive and that you will go with the seafreight, My guess is that the location for the next season is Australian!!!
Totally enjoyed the Alaska season I’ve been subscribed since the early days and consider this the best adventure. Looking forward to your next travels please take the opportunity to rest up if you can, take care and safe travels.
You made the bike look so awesome.
You get to know Alaska more intimately by
Rebuilding and cleaning her.
What wonderful people to help you out like that - new an improved.
Big congratulations to you Noraly for finishing your trip and somehow managing to shoehorn the Baja rally in!
Love from me and my wife here in NZ. Oh, and I know you are not landing here because we are not on a continent! Cheers, Al
Here’s to the next adventure, happy new year all the best for 2023👍🏍
Alaska looks awesome after the rebuild. The new graphics are sweet. Looking forward to your next adventure in whatever part of the world you're off to next.
Great technician, full attention to details, using torque wrench, verifying every step of the process, simple explanations but totally understandable, congratulations.
Nice Episode again. I wonder where Alaska will go. I say Australia.
I think China
I think Africa!
Excellent video again and nice (and a bit proud) to see the Dutch license plate on Alaska. All the best for 2023 and safe travels!
We share similar gearhead disease as most motorcycle people do, we like to upgrade stock bikes and make them better for our use.
Like the new graphics and glad to see you continue to do what you do so well making videos and riding your motorcycle. Ride on!
You've been spotted ! Alaska looks great in his new graphics. Enjoy your stay.
