Thank you for carrying the 2,42 millions of us in the back seat looking over your shoulder. We travel around the planet from our home. You are a brave soul.
I was curious about the abandoned village you stumbled upon. Apparently it was called Potamy, it's also said to be referred to as "Little Paris" by some. The town dates back to Roman times, but the ornate building you saw near the entrance is a school built in 1800's. The inhabitants left during the population exchange with Greece in 1924, and the name of the village was changed to Başköy with the new inhabitants moving in. In 2011, someone in the village died due to a rock falling on their head. The village was declared a natural disaster zone, people were moved to a nearby town, and not much has been done since from what I gathered. There are apparently 21 churches and 14 houses under protection in the village, but that hasn't stopped the raids from treasure hunters (though I bet there's not much left to be raided at this point).
As a Turk I am so happy to see a solo female adventurer feel secure to explore almost inhabited parts of my country. I just want to feel proud of my people, always. I believe in them, always.
This sentiment might come across awkward, but the word "Türk" means "followers of the eternal law". In Genghis Khan's (Also a follower of Töre) empire it is rumored that a naked woman wearing nothing but gold and jade could safely walk from Persia to China. Now, that is law and order.
I can't help it, but I get very emotional from these videos. My Greek roots lay in Cappadocia. My grandparents from both sides came from Nigde. In 1923, there was a population exchange between Greece and Turkiye. The Christian Greeks who were living in the area for thousands of years had to leave everything behind and go to start a new life in Greece. Also the Muslims from Greece had to go back to Turkey. My grandparents were always very sad whenever they were talking about their homeland in Cappadocia. They were living peacefully with their Turkish neighbors. But unfortunately, war drove them away from their beloved lands and friends. Cappadocia has a special place in my heart. ❤ Thank you, Noraly, for showing us these amazing places with so rich history. ❤
As a Turk, I observe that we are very similar to the Greeks. There were many ethnic groups in the Ottoman Empire, but I think the Greeks and Turks were the most integrated and mixing during the empire. That's why today, these two peoples do not like each other the most. It's like a love-hate relationship : )
The Greeks were influenced by the nationalist movement in France and revolted in 1820. In 1923, he was expelled because the Greeks occupied the city, isn't this quite normal? I love the Greeks, but let's not get caught up in politics.
My Turkish family passed from Salonica to Aivali during the same population exchange. I grew up hearing their sad stories. It was a great tragedy for both Turks and Greeks. I hope we can build a better future... Cappadocia is uniquely beautiful. Hopefully, you will visit it one day.
We all are students with our class teacher on a guided tour to Turkiye ... nothing else explains this fabulous vlog . One simply can't see any tourist destination in the same way as one sees in Noraly's vlogs. How many of us would have gone into the claustrophobic caves or explored the abandoned villages. How else could we have seen the bird's eye view of this historic landscape if not for the fabulous drone footage. And not surprisingly wherever Noraly goes her persona earns her a very warm welcome. Even the pets of the place make her feel home. Her radiant smile is always unmissable , through thick and thin. Simply fantastic entertainment, alas it only just lasts for a few miserly minutes. I wish it went on and on. Ride on Itchy Boots
I'm sure that we'd all love to see longer videos. But they take time to produce, and she needs time to take the footage in the first place. IF the videos were longer, Noraly wouldn't be able to travel to get the footage and make the videos. Kind of a catch-22 situation. And I'm sure you realise this.But youre right about being on a class trip; it's history, geology, geography and sociology all in one!
@@N1inSK you are absolutely right about the length of Noraly's videos and the hardwork involved in making them. But they are so mesmerizing that one wishes that they kept running on longer. Its appreciation of the great work she does. Thanks for sharing your thoughts
Noraly doesn’t waste time to show us the popular tourist destinations which are available in thousands of websites and videos. As a Turkish person living in Türkiye, even though I been to Konya and Kapadokya many times, I haven’t seen most of the places that she visited. Thanks for that.
Amazing, amazing, amazing ... on an 80 km day, Noraly manages to find cave dwelling abandoned villages, majestic views, perilous trails, a river of greenery at the bottom of a gorge, glorious drone footage with blissful music all crowned by the smiles of the locals ...

the video is absolutely stunning girl but I am going to make question about mentioned the carves dug out via Romans! Most of this places been carved out and populated by Persians befor Romans came over! Otherwise why would Romans has to head up this carved areas ! That means that there been ppl and specially achamenids people building many caves and underground cities already belonging to ppl s region ! As many original ones in iran (meymand)been founded a unique achamenied signature of civilisations! Not only to dug out caves but building the most valuable sculptures rocks buildings in world... So ofc as Romans were power tripping the persian empire ofcourse they had to head up the most populated and build ancient cities like here !otherwise why ppl would live there already??? It's logical right ? And history of this places dates back befor Christianity too. My critics about this announcement of u in this videos but it doesn't feel right ! A single switch of this can change the entire cevilisation history ! So its wrong With all respect ! I hope u undrestand that many underground cities still has been founded yet in Turkey that belongs to achamenid ppl ! It's archeology said
Scanning 400-500 comments and didn't see any comment on how Noraly picked up a fully loaded Frankie at 8:18. Looked strong and apparently well healed after her accident several months ago. Nice job Noraly. Moritz must be relieved to see no damage to the beautiful gas tank. Peace! ❤❤❤
She was using the proper technique, which is to put your back against the bike, and lift with your knees, not your back. I know a woman smaller than Noraly who used to do demos that involved picking up a fallen Honda Gold Wing (about 900 pounds) using this technique. It's still not easy!
If I would’ve had teachers half as interesting to make history come alive as Noraly , I would’ve never dropped out of school . Not to mention her beautiful smile that just melts people and animals alike. So glad you take us along❤
This is what I think of when I think of Turkey. I don’t think about modern cities, cars, technology, etc…. Thanks so much for taking me along on your journeys where I learn soooo much!!!
Simply outstanding..How can this channel not have 10 million subscribers..? This is the content that must overshadow all the nonsense that's on the internet.
Thank you, Noraly, for giving me such good memories of 50 years ago. My wife wanted a kilim (carpet) . We looked in many shops. The last one was in Ürgüp. When we spoke to the gentlemen, who assisted an author writing a book about kilims, an old stray dog entered the shop. We both stopped breathing , in those times not every Turkish gentlemen was dog friendly. We looked at each other.......when he harms the dog, we leave. But........he said: Hello Laila where have been, good dog. He told us the dog once had a broken paw and he paid the surgery. We bought a kilim for 1300 guilders and the book and it was sent to the Netherlands. The kilim was made by a young lady as a proof for her future husband. The seller called it a Box-Older-Piece. I hope they were happy together.
Wat een mooi verhaal & souvenier is dit! Die bijzondere kilim is hopelijk nog steeds bij jullie in goede handen. Het jonge meisje van weleer heeft nog steeds eer van haar handwerk nu ze in uw reactie genoemd wordt.
Noraly's Vlogs are never dissappointing as she cinematographically captures her interactions with the local people, culture, historical sites, mount-scapes and back trails. Love you Noraly...❤
Undoubtedly, she is the best, picking the places, routes, descriptions, challenges, music, drone footages, and and for wraps this out, an unique pinch of charm. I love her!
The scenery takes my breath away! Would never be able to see the glorious ruins without the awesome drone work. What a beautiful planet we live on. Thank you Noraly ❤
I HAVE YET TO FIND any videos on TH-cam that give me as much pleasure and enjoyment as yours do. I lived in Turkey for several years, I am from the UK but was working in Turkey. I fell in love with the country, the people, the food and the culture and I miss the place dreadfully. Your videos have brought me so many nostalgic memories and for that I thank you. Your videos are all so well filmed, produced and narrated you deserve serious acclaim for your excellence as a documentary film maker. ♥
Not only do we get great videos of stunning countrysides from all round the world but, we also get superb history lessons and information about the areas visited. Big shout out to Noraly.
I absolutely LOVE the drone footage of the skies that are so endless. We just never get to experience that kind of pristine beauty in everyday life. It's breathtaking. Thank you, Noraly.
I think that's a big contributary factor to why she has so many subscribers. She's our ideal wife girl friend daughter granddaughter etc you get my drift.
Oh my, if I were still able to travel, I would be going to Turkey. There is so much variety in landscapes, cities, food, smiling people...and something I especially love: abandoned things to explore! What a terrific part of this journey!💖
I've never even considered going to Turkey, but Dr. Boots always shows the beauty in all these different countries. And it makes you want to get your passport and just go see the world. These countries really should pay her some sort of tourism ambassador fee.
I am Turkish, I was born and live in a wonderful geography like Turkey, my life would not be enough if I traveled to explore this geography, every part of my country has a different history and needs to be discovered, yes, we live in a magnificent geography, but the fate of the Turkish people is news from outside the region where many people live due to economic difficulties. A very small minority with better economic power are aware of these values and can travel and explore them. Thank you for visiting our country, introducing us to it, and showing us places that even those of us in this geography have not seen. 🙏
I lived in Cappadocia for four years or so and there are possibly hundreds of underground cities parts of which may date back much further that is currently accepted by the mainstream. Some of the underground cities are connected to others by way of tunnels some of which are miles long.
I absolutely love what I have seen of Turkey through your eyes and lens, Noraly. These ancient caves carved into the cliffs are other wordly....and how super friendly the locals are....and what a rustic and homely little room to sleep in. Sigh!
The landscape and houses and artworks look Biblical. It's astounding. And you're so brave, Noraly. Thank you for showing us all these beautiful places and people in Turkiye. 🌺
Simply stunning. Noraly does some brilliant drone footage of areas that we can only dream of visiting, and then tells us how amazing her dinner is. That made me chuckle.
Perseverance, courage and a neverending smile even in the face of extreme difficulty, is the core reason we watch your episodes Noraly. Thank you for inspiring us and showing us the world 🙏💐
Incredible! Turkey is fascinating. Cappadocia's geology and human history extend beyond comprehension. How lucky to find such a perfect place to stay. I loved this. ❤❤❤
My son directed me to your videos after I bought my first bike! I’m so glad he did! You are amazing and your videos are outstanding. I would have never have pictured Turkey as you show it through your travels. Stay safe and keep riding! I’m living vicariously thru you and your travels🙂
I travelled to Turkey many years ago - Cappadocia was my favourite region. Watching this video brought it all back to me. What an amazing place. The people, landscapes, and the food - all fabulous. I am enjoying this season immensely. Thank you for your wonderful videography.
So many of the roads are paved in brick, even in the mountains! How amazing! Some were decorative. Loving this season….as I have with all of them! Thank you for taking us along!
Norally, it's really great to be a passenger on your motorcycle and explore the world through your eyes. In addition, it is another beauty to look at other people with your magnificent heart and accept them as they are without prejudice.
The abandoned houses and caves are just incredible! The aerial views provide the size of the village, simply amazing! And, such a nice place to stay with great people. The geological formations never cease to amaze me. Thanks for sharing another day of your adventures. Ride safe Noraly!
Noraly, you made my day, helping me to escape the cold and wet weather depressions by taking me into the indescribably fascinating and marvellous Turkish hinterland. Enjoy, take care of yourself and do not risk too much.
Thank you, Noraly, for continuing to bring us to incredible parts of Turkey 🇹🇷 I never would have seen this landscape and abandoned villages if not for you. Your drone shots are breathtaking 😍 Frankie down...but not out ❤ It's a relief to see you able to lift Frankie back up 💪Bravo from North Borneo 👏
For many days or almost weeks, we do have foggy wether in the South of Germany 😒. But when Noraly publishes a new episode of her stunning bike trip, the sun 🌞 is shining in my notebook screen 💻and in my heart 💖. I`m so thankful for this, Noraly 👍!
Geology, history and local current knowledge. There is always something to marvel at with your videos, Noraly. On a side note, is there anyone else who finds it a bit staggering that so many of these out of the way places have a room for tourists/adventure bikers like Noraly. Many of them seem to be clean and well equipped, anyone? Turkey is a wonderful choice to begin season 8, Noraly…❤❤❤Rick 23:40
From the routine of 8-5 workdays, I’ve found a sense of freedom through your travels. Riding in your backseat and experiencing every beautiful corner you visit brings us immense joy and a refreshing breath of life. Thank you, Noraly, for being such an incredible peace ambassador. You’ve also made me reflect on my own country. I feel a bit ashamed for not fully appreciating the beauty of Turkey, the land I was born in. It’s eye-opening to realize how often people remain unaware of the treasures in their own homeland. Turkey, as a crossroads of civilizations and an open-air museum, holds incredible history. Have you ever stepped into a place and marveled at how many generations before you walked the same path and touched the same stones? That thought alone is awe-inspiring. Thank you for sharing this journey and helping us rediscover the beauty and history that surrounds us.
Another great trip, so much to learn and see in every country, people are so kind. I would hope teachers in America could show your channel to their classes. With all my travels across the world in the military the most friendly people were always the poorest. They would invite us to stay, show us gratitude and keep us safe. We would always leave stuff for them and help them do repairs on their vehicles and houses. Too bad some of the world do not treat their people so well. Thanks again Noraly. 👍😊❤️ 26:01
Never fails to amaze with your spirit of adventure and a smile on your face,travels the world and does so with humility and respect for everyone. Worlds most interesting person.
I like that you went old school with Frankie’s design; hope she can hold up over the various bashings she will undoubtedly get. Also hope you are feeling well after the operation and getting back to riding. You certainly seem happy, which is good to see ❤
Ms Boots, thank you for sharing this wonderful episode with us. Your smiles says everything & going down 8 level. You’re such a strong sweet lady. Love, prayers & respect to you dear 🥰🙏🕉️
I feel so smart! I had guessed it was rock slides that made that town inhabitable. Fascinating area. As always, Noraly presents it to us in such a wonderful way. Very jealous of that Turkish food! Thanks Noraly, for bringing all this to us.
What a beautiful ride! Love learning about the beauty and history of the land. You get to meet so many amazing people on your adventures. I’m so fascinated by the homes in the area! Thank you for the opportunity to see these beautiful places!❤
Noraly Once again you are our ambassador, your explanation of the beautiful place we can't even fantom. We travel with you eager to meet such wonderful people always wanting to help. Keep safe.
Wow!! I'm so glad you decided to return to Trukey 🇹🇷. I'll never forget those hot air balloons!! I re-watched that video a bunch! Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with us!!❤❤
So great to watch your hard work and calculations and design decisions paid off when you popped Frankie up from the ground. I always think of Moritz and his crew watching your videos and seeing the fruit of their labors coming to life. I bet they were shouting solutions at the screen when the gear shifter was bent!
LOL I find myslef thinking of Moritz as well because he has a stake in this. He may have had concern over his beautiful gas tank being scuffed but it appears unscathed! I'm sure he knows Frankie will get damaged in some form or another on such an endeavor. Moritz put his reputation on the line in front of the world for the living legend, Itchy Boots. I have great respect for him for doing this, not to mention how he prepared the machine for her. Peace!
A shift lever is cheap. The shift mechanism, inside the gearbox, is not so cheap. Because the shifter is so exposed and vulnerable, it is actually a good idea for it to be lightweight and bend easily. if it were really stout and strong, there would be much greater risk of much more serious damage to the internal shift mechanism. Make the cheap, easily replaced part absorb the impact.
@@dotme-y4x Dot: All due respect, dude, but are you seriously suggesting the solution is that Noraly needs to ride offroad more carefully? I wasn't addressing anything she said, really, just pointing out that the part bent because it was designed to bend under force rather than damage the transmission. As someone who rode offroad in woods, dirt roads, and pipelines for a number of years, I can promise you no amount of caution is going to keep you from never having this sort of mishap,. It's inevitable if you ride long enough. Noraly is if anything an extremely careful and cautious offroad motorcyclist. These things happen. You could engineer some sort of guard to protect the shift lever, but always and only at the cost of making it more awkward to use. When you're riding as much as she does, the better solution is just to accept that it will get bent. Mine got dinged many times, and I just twisted it back where it belonged, more or less, and rode on.
@@joebond5012 You can manipulate the shifter manually with pliers, Just put it in second gear and limp back to civilization. Not too difficult with a big high-torque thumper. Abuses the clutch a bit, but ought to get you back OK. I've even used locking-jaw pliers as an emergency shift lever, until I could get a replacement part.
Amazing that one person can put out top quality videos like this, so lucky to have noraly entertaining us versus the big budget crap that's on tv, thank you itchyboots!
"Every day brings a new adventure and fresh excitement with Itchy Boots! Thank you, Noraly, for taking us along on your incredible journey! 🌍🏍❤" super is adorable...... The paw on top of Noraly is so cute.....🥰🥰
To shed light on forgotten places, revealing the cycle of life with a backdrop of dry river beds valleys and gorges, a journey, yours and others through history combine to tell a wonderful story. 👏
And STRONG as always! Bringing a big XT 600 upright and straightening the shift lever BY HAND. Hats off for Noraly! I think I should say helmets off...
Last week and again this morning I realized what I was missing in the Africa episodes which was the expression of joy, wonderment, and excitement in your eyes as you explore the different places. I'm not saying you didn't enjoy the Africa journey (I loved it) but there was a difference in your expressions. As always, Noraly, I enjoy your journeys and am so grateful to be able to join you. Thanks for taking us along. Enjoy your journey, stay safe, have fun, and we'll see you in the next video!
The first of this series (IMHO) to reflect the gregarious nature that Noraly can completely fascinate us with. And of course she can back these amazing sites up with facts about how they came to be - because she has academic creds to back up that charming demeanor !
The abandoned town - woah! Thank you so much for the perspective of the how and why this region is how it is. It makes me appreciate what I am seeing even more. The geology of the region makes the cave dwellings seem not quite as secure as I thought. If the terrain was that malleable, then earthquakes, or even gradual erosion could, indeed, change things in a jiffy - oy! The fabulous drone view at the end really illustrates how the mountains have been carving themselves away over the millennia. I wonder what the human action is on the mesas. Looks like potential crops. The food you are eating now looks so healthy and delicious. So nice that you don't have to eat iffy 'what-is-it, really' on the road. And the lovely decorative road pavers - such a nice and unexpected touch! I also smiled at your very cool rock room with modern windows fitted in.
What a very cool adventure today! I just cannot get over the beauty of these Cave houses. So many and when you see them with drone footage it's just amazing. Thank you Noraly.
I’m so incredibly grateful for being able to see Turkey riding along with you on Frankie, seeing places I never would have been able to see! 🥰🙏🏽Thank you for being adventurous,strong, brave , curious and resilient, Noraly ❤️🔥
Beautiful Turkish countryside that I will never get to see except through your excellent travel adventures. Indeed there is always… something… that Noraly manages to handle well. Fascinating geography, archeology & geology. All in one.
It's so fantastic to watch your amazing videos Noraly. Turkey is gorgeous. It really shows how much you care about quality. It looks like you're have a whole team following you. Your drone images are more stunning than ever. I love it that you play more flying them. It's awesome!
Aside from the great comments already posted, I can't help but comment on the craftmanship of the area. Cobblestoned roads in excellent shape, in the middle of nowhere, literally.
Thank you Noraly for your inspiring videos! Your vids keep me motivated in harder times and remind me to approach things in a positive way. Keep up and stay safe!
Human settlement in the region of Cappadocia in central-eastern Anatolia, aka Katpatuka (= land of beautiful horses in the ancient Hittite language) dates back to the Paleolithic era. Several ancient highways crossed here, bringing different cultures into contact with each other. Could this explain the Nordic appearance and blond hair of Noraly's host? Beautiful immemorial land of the Hittites!
What a fascinating place. And the history is mind blowing. You are doing a great ride with Frankie. Loved this episode. Imagine living in those caves. Wow!
As a person from Türkiye, I really enjoyed the video. Türkiye has endless gems to discover! While I’m traveling to other parts of the world, I’m in love with my country :D
It's beautiful. The locals all seem very friendly. The rugged terrain puts me in the mind of the southwestern states of America, somehow. It's not at all what my imagination, my prejudices,,, expected or anticipated. Noraly has really proven to me that I know nothing of the world. She still makes me nervous, though!
@@randyroberts4239In fact, Turkey is geographically similar to America. In the north, there are generally beautiful forests and mountains. Turkeys central part is geographically similar to the southwestern states. At the same time, we are surrounded by the sea on three sides

Simply outstanding..How can this channel not have 10 million subscribers..? This is the content that must overshadow all the nonsense that's on the internet.
I love her silly little giggles. She brings joy to me days watching. Finding her content educational.
Thank you, Noraly, for giving me such good memories of 50 years ago. My wife wanted a kilim (carpet) . We looked in many shops. The last one was in Ürgüp. When we spoke to the gentlemen, who assisted an author writing a book about kilims, an old stray dog entered the shop. We both stopped breathing , in those times not every Turkish gentlemen was dog friendly.
We looked at each other.......when he harms the dog, we leave. But........he said: Hello Laila where have been, good dog. He told us the dog once had a broken paw and he paid the surgery.
We bought a kilim for 1300 guilders and the book and it was sent to the Netherlands. The kilim was made by a young lady as a proof for her future husband. The seller called it a Box-Older-Piece. I hope they were happy together.
Wat een mooi verhaal & souvenier is dit! Die bijzondere kilim is hopelijk nog steeds bij jullie in goede handen. Het jonge meisje van weleer heeft nog steeds eer van haar handwerk nu ze in uw reactie genoemd wordt.
@ingeborgvanderveer789 Dank U.
I can’t say thank you enough for bringing be along with you and Frankie. What a beautiful country and beautiful people.
Noraly's Vlogs are never dissappointing as she cinematographically captures her interactions with the local people, culture, historical sites, mount-scapes and back trails.
Love you Noraly...❤
Undoubtedly, she is the best, picking the places, routes, descriptions, challenges, music, drone footages, and and for wraps this out, an unique pinch of charm. I love her!
15:15 WOW! 23:45
The scenery takes my breath away! Would never be able to see the glorious ruins without the awesome drone work. What a beautiful planet we live on. Thank you Noraly ❤
I HAVE YET TO FIND any videos on TH-cam that give me as much pleasure and enjoyment as yours do. I lived in Turkey for several years, I am from the UK but was working in Turkey. I fell in love with the country, the people, the food and the culture and I miss the place dreadfully. Your videos have brought me so many nostalgic memories and for that I thank you. Your videos are all so well filmed, produced and narrated you deserve serious acclaim for your excellence as a documentary film maker. ♥
Try kings, on her bike, Runa, of she goes.
There are many traveling motorbike podcasters.
Move back.
Not only do we get great videos of stunning countrysides from all round the world but, we also get superb history lessons and information about the areas visited. Big shout out to Noraly.
Not touristic areas, which makes your videos more precious.
You have such a wonderful personality, always laughing and joyful not matter the circumstances
That SMILE! When you found the room for the night and met the lady, your Smile is so endearing. Thank you again for an amazing episode.
I absolutely LOVE the drone footage of the skies that are so endless. We just never get to experience that kind of pristine beauty in everyday life. It's breathtaking. Thank you, Noraly.
I love Itchy Boots channel because no matter how many difficulties she faces, Noraly never swears and that is nice quality a person can have.
Editing
I think that's a big contributary factor to why she has so many subscribers. She's our ideal wife girl friend daughter granddaughter etc you get my drift.
Absolutely, true💖 I also love her because of that🌟
Dutch swearing.
@@cleroyster2610Nope, Dutch people are swearing alot but not Noraly.
One of my favourite ones, as I’m completely in love with Turkish food and culture. Always amazed to see the land
Oh my, if I were still able to travel, I would be going to Turkey. There is so much variety in landscapes, cities, food, smiling people...and something I especially love: abandoned things to explore! What a terrific part of this journey!💖
Itchy Boots is extremely and amazingly thrilling to watch and she is so brave that I cannot stop watching her expeditions every time. God bless her ❤
Her drone takes are out of this world….👏👏👏👏👏
I remember when she first got a drone...I think she bought it off a fellow traveller???...it's really added to her videos...as well as the music.
What an amazing country! Thank you so much for traveling in the tunnels and abandoned villages to share this amazing place!
I've never even considered going to Turkey, but Dr. Boots always shows the beauty in all these different countries. And it makes you want to get your passport and just go see the world. These countries really should pay her some sort of tourism ambassador fee.
I'm so glad you decided to go back to Turkey, it has so many different people, places and things to see and explore.
Thank you Noralee.
Stunning Turkish landscape and the music suits it all so well. Thankyou Noraly.
I am Turkish, I was born and live in a wonderful geography like Turkey, my life would not be enough if I traveled to explore this geography, every part of my country has a different history and needs to be discovered, yes, we live in a magnificent geography, but the fate of the Turkish people is news from outside the region where many people live due to economic difficulties. A very small minority with better economic power are aware of these values and can travel and explore them. Thank you for visiting our country, introducing us to it, and showing us places that even those of us in this geography have not seen. 🙏
I lived in Cappadocia for four years or so and there are possibly hundreds of underground cities parts of which may date back much further that is currently accepted by the mainstream. Some of the underground cities are connected to others by way of tunnels some of which are miles long.
I absolutely love what I have seen of Turkey through your eyes and lens, Noraly. These ancient caves carved into the cliffs are other wordly....and how super friendly the locals are....and what a rustic and homely little room to sleep in. Sigh!
I just love this channel. You lift me up. I have been very sick, and I look forward to your laugh and smile. Living adventures thru you. Thank Noraly.
Another documentary better than National Geographic!!!
Off the tourist trail in the extreme. Superb, loved it. Thank you
That food is really good looking it must be home cooking
Best part of my Sunday (and Wednesday)!
It's mindblowing how much work they put into those caves
The landscape and houses and artworks look Biblical. It's astounding. And you're so brave, Noraly. Thank you for showing us all these beautiful places and people in Turkiye. 🌺
Turkey is more beautiful than I imagined!
Simply stunning. Noraly does some brilliant drone footage of areas that we can only dream of visiting, and then tells us how amazing her dinner is. That made me chuckle.
Perseverance, courage and a neverending smile even in the face of extreme difficulty, is the core reason we watch your episodes Noraly. Thank you for inspiring us and showing us the world 🙏💐
Incredible! Turkey is fascinating. Cappadocia's geology and human history extend beyond comprehension. How lucky to find such a perfect place to stay. I loved this. ❤❤❤
My son directed me to your videos after I bought my first bike! I’m so glad he did! You are amazing and your videos are outstanding. I would have never have pictured Turkey as you show it through your travels. Stay safe and keep riding! I’m living vicariously thru you and your travels🙂
I travelled to Turkey many years ago - Cappadocia was my favourite region. Watching this video brought it all back to me. What an amazing place. The people, landscapes, and the food - all fabulous. I am enjoying this season immensely. Thank you for your wonderful videography.
So many of the roads are paved in brick, even in the mountains! How amazing! Some were decorative. Loving this season….as I have with all of them! Thank you for taking us along!
Norally, it's really great to be a passenger on your motorcycle and explore the world through your eyes. In addition, it is another beauty to look at other people with your magnificent heart and accept them as they are without prejudice.
The abandoned houses and caves are just incredible! The aerial views provide the size of the village, simply amazing! And, such a nice place to stay with great people. The geological formations never cease to amaze me. Thanks for sharing another day of your adventures. Ride safe Noraly!
Turkey is so amazing, so beautiful, I wish I can live there . Thank you for showing us those places
Thank you Noraly, love the history of the places you visit. Your posts are so interesting, I love them.
Thanks for taking us along. I'm too old to go travelling so it's so nice to see one of my bucket-list destinations through your capable camera skills.
Noraly, you made my day, helping me to escape the cold and wet weather depressions by taking me into the indescribably fascinating and marvellous Turkish hinterland. Enjoy, take care of yourself and do not risk too much.
Oh, I totally agree!
Thank you, Noraly, for continuing to bring us to incredible parts of Turkey 🇹🇷 I never would have seen this landscape and abandoned villages if not for you. Your drone shots are breathtaking 😍 Frankie down...but not out ❤ It's a relief to see you able to lift Frankie back up 💪Bravo from North Borneo 👏
Wonderful landscapes! I have to visit Turkey again. Nicest people and so much to explore 🙏
Thank you, Noraly! 👍
I learnd so much about this Country from Noraly. Take care. Have a nice trip.😊❤
For many days or almost weeks, we do have foggy wether in the South of Germany 😒.
But when Noraly publishes a new episode of her stunning bike trip, the sun 🌞 is shining in my notebook screen 💻and in my heart 💖.
I`m so thankful for this, Noraly 👍!
Greetings from soggy Seattle
Absolutely wonderful! The sceneries, the buildings, the people and the food are just amazing. Merci Noraly!
Geology, history and local current knowledge. There is always something to marvel at with your videos, Noraly. On a side note, is there anyone else who finds it a bit staggering that so many of these out of the way places have a room for tourists/adventure bikers like Noraly. Many of them seem to be clean and well equipped, anyone? Turkey is a wonderful choice to begin season 8, Noraly…❤❤❤Rick 23:40
From the routine of 8-5 workdays, I’ve found a sense of freedom through your travels. Riding in your backseat and experiencing every beautiful corner you visit brings us immense joy and a refreshing breath of life. Thank you, Noraly, for being such an incredible peace ambassador.
You’ve also made me reflect on my own country. I feel a bit ashamed for not fully appreciating the beauty of Turkey, the land I was born in. It’s eye-opening to realize how often people remain unaware of the treasures in their own homeland. Turkey, as a crossroads of civilizations and an open-air museum, holds incredible history. Have you ever stepped into a place and marveled at how many generations before you walked the same path and touched the same stones? That thought alone is awe-inspiring. Thank you for sharing this journey and helping us rediscover the beauty and history that surrounds us.
Another great trip, so much to learn and see in every country, people are so kind. I would hope teachers in America could show your channel to their classes. With all my travels across the world in the military the most friendly people were always the poorest. They would invite us to stay, show us gratitude and keep us safe. We would always leave stuff for them and help them do repairs on their vehicles and houses. Too bad some of the world do not treat their people so well. Thanks again Noraly. 👍😊❤️ 26:01
Never fails to amaze with your spirit of adventure and a smile on your face,travels the world and does so with humility and respect for everyone. Worlds most interesting person.
Turkiye is amazing. Never have seen this area. Thanks for traveling for those of us that likely will never see these places.
I like that you went old school with Frankie’s design; hope she can hold up over the various bashings she will undoubtedly get. Also hope you are feeling well after the operation and getting back to riding. You certainly seem happy, which is good to see ❤
Zip ties, jubilee/hose clamps, epoxy, and lots of spares will be good for her :) Is Frankie tubed or tubeless?
Seemingly a 30 year old Yamaha is better than a 4 year old Honda
Ms Boots, thank you for sharing this wonderful episode with us. Your smiles says everything & going down 8 level. You’re such a strong sweet lady. Love, prayers & respect to you dear 🥰🙏🕉️
I feel so smart! I had guessed it was rock slides that made that town inhabitable. Fascinating area. As always, Noraly presents it to us in such a wonderful way. Very jealous of that Turkish food! Thanks Noraly, for bringing all this to us.
What a beautiful ride! Love learning about the beauty and history of the land. You get to meet so many amazing people on your adventures. I’m so fascinated by the homes in the area! Thank you for the opportunity to see these beautiful places!❤
Noraly
Once again you are our ambassador, your explanation of the beautiful place we can't even fantom. We travel with you eager to meet such wonderful people always wanting to help.
Keep safe.
Wow!!
I'm so glad you decided to return to Trukey 🇹🇷.
I'll never forget those hot air balloons!!
I re-watched that video a bunch!
Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with us!!❤❤
So great to watch your hard work and calculations and design decisions paid off when you popped Frankie up from the ground. I always think of Moritz and his crew watching your videos and seeing the fruit of their labors coming to life. I bet they were shouting solutions at the screen when the gear shifter was bent!
LOL I find myslef thinking of Moritz as well because he has a stake in this. He may have had concern over his beautiful gas tank being scuffed but it appears unscathed! I'm sure he knows Frankie will get damaged in some form or another on such an endeavor. Moritz put his reputation on the line in front of the world for the living legend, Itchy Boots. I have great respect for him for doing this, not to mention how he prepared the machine for her. Peace!
A shift lever is cheap. The shift mechanism, inside the gearbox, is not so cheap. Because the shifter is so exposed and vulnerable, it is actually a good idea for it to be lightweight and bend easily. if it were really stout and strong, there would be much greater risk of much more serious damage to the internal shift mechanism. Make the cheap, easily replaced part absorb the impact.
Good point. Carrying a spare would be easy. Maybe a guard over it would be a good plan too. I know it's weight, but at least it's down low.
@@dotme-y4x Dot: All due respect, dude, but are you seriously suggesting the solution is that Noraly needs to ride offroad more carefully? I wasn't addressing anything she said, really, just pointing out that the part bent because it was designed to bend under force rather than damage the transmission. As someone who rode offroad in woods, dirt roads, and pipelines for a number of years, I can promise you no amount of caution is going to keep you from never having this sort of mishap,. It's inevitable if you ride long enough. Noraly is if anything an extremely careful and cautious offroad motorcyclist. These things happen.
You could engineer some sort of guard to protect the shift lever, but always and only at the cost of making it more awkward to use. When you're riding as much as she does, the better solution is just to accept that it will get bent. Mine got dinged many times, and I just twisted it back where it belonged, more or less, and rode on.
If that gear lever snapped off while in neutral she would be in big trouble.
@@joebond5012 You can manipulate the shifter manually with pliers, Just put it in second gear and limp back to civilization. Not too difficult with a big high-torque thumper. Abuses the clutch a bit, but ought to get you back OK. I've even used locking-jaw pliers as an emergency shift lever, until I could get a replacement part.
Amazing that one person can put out top quality videos like this, so lucky to have noraly entertaining us versus the big budget crap that's on tv, thank you itchyboots!
"Every day brings a new adventure and fresh excitement with Itchy Boots! Thank you, Noraly, for taking us along on your incredible journey! 🌍🏍❤"
super is adorable...... The paw on top of Noraly is so cute.....🥰🥰
You are one strong and brave lady, always smiling and laughing through trouble. Hats off.
To shed light on forgotten places, revealing the cycle of life with a backdrop of dry river beds valleys and gorges, a journey, yours and others through history combine to tell a wonderful story. 👏
I am glad to see you again and you are full of health.
And STRONG as always! Bringing a big XT 600 upright and straightening the shift lever BY HAND.
Hats off for Noraly!
I think I should say helmets off...
Such a beautiful place with a rich and amazing history. 😊thank you for sharing your life with us.
Last week and again this morning I realized what I was missing in the Africa episodes which was the expression of joy, wonderment, and excitement in your eyes as you explore the different places. I'm not saying you didn't enjoy the Africa journey (I loved it) but there was a difference in your expressions. As always, Noraly, I enjoy your journeys and am so grateful to be able to join you. Thanks for taking us along. Enjoy your journey, stay safe, have fun, and we'll see you in the next video!
Africa was more adventurous and unexplored. This is like driving around the house 😂
@@petertrhan6811 Yeah, different strokes I guess. Personally, the African content was more enjoyable for me.
No traffic , crowded roads or teeming masses of people.
Exactly, you nailed it.
@@Zoomster-wu7if Hey mate, I'm not saying I didn't enjoy the Africa journey. I loved it!
Your journey has opened my wyes to the beautiful country of Turkey.....absolutely stunning!
Oh Noraly! Simply stunning! That was absolutely spectacular!! Turkey is full of wonderful surprises!
wow, what an amazing place! with so much appreciation for you to show it to us.
The first of this series (IMHO) to reflect the gregarious nature that Noraly can completely fascinate us with. And of course she can back these amazing sites up with facts about how they came to be - because she has academic creds to back up that charming demeanor !
The abandoned town - woah! Thank you so much for the perspective of the how and why this region is how it is. It makes me appreciate what I am seeing even more. The geology of the region makes the cave dwellings seem not quite as secure as I thought. If the terrain was that malleable, then earthquakes, or even gradual erosion could, indeed, change things in a jiffy - oy! The fabulous drone view at the end really illustrates how the mountains have been carving themselves away over the millennia. I wonder what the human action is on the mesas. Looks like potential crops.
The food you are eating now looks so healthy and delicious. So nice that you don't have to eat iffy 'what-is-it, really' on the road.
And the lovely decorative road pavers - such a nice and unexpected touch! I also smiled at your very cool rock room with modern windows fitted in.
What a very cool adventure today! I just cannot get over the beauty of these Cave houses. So many and when you see them with drone footage it's just amazing. Thank you Noraly.
I’m so incredibly grateful for being able to see Turkey riding along with you on Frankie, seeing places I never would have been able to see! 🥰🙏🏽Thank you for being adventurous,strong, brave , curious and resilient, Noraly ❤️🔥
Beautiful Turkish countryside that I will never get to see except through your excellent travel adventures. Indeed there is always… something… that Noraly manages to handle well. Fascinating geography, archeology & geology. All in one.
Every new video is like medicine for heart and soul.
THANK YOU NORALY 🙏👍
It's so fantastic to watch your amazing videos Noraly. Turkey is gorgeous. It really shows how much you care about quality. It looks like you're have a whole team following you. Your drone images are more stunning than ever. I love it that you play more flying them. It's awesome!
Aside from the great comments already posted, I can't help but comment on the craftmanship of the area. Cobblestoned roads in excellent shape, in the middle of nowhere, literally.
Incredible Noraly, thank you for taking us along for the ride!
Great video. Great quality. Very inspiring. Thanks for uplifting the thousands of people who will watch this video.
Thank you Noraly for your inspiring videos! Your vids keep me motivated in harder times and remind me to approach things in a positive way. Keep up and stay safe!
Amazing and crazy cave houses and abandoned villages not to mention underground cities, thanks Noraly for finding these gems.
Human settlement in the region of Cappadocia in central-eastern Anatolia, aka Katpatuka (= land of beautiful horses in the ancient Hittite language) dates back to the Paleolithic era. Several ancient highways crossed here, bringing different cultures into contact with each other. Could this explain the Nordic appearance and blond hair of Noraly's host? Beautiful immemorial land of the Hittites!
Noraly, it's a joy following you on your adventures.
What a fascinating place. And the history is mind blowing. You are doing a great ride with Frankie. Loved this episode. Imagine living in those caves. Wow!
As a person from Türkiye, I really enjoyed the video. Türkiye has endless gems to discover! While I’m traveling to other parts of the world, I’m in love with my country :D
It's beautiful. The locals all seem very friendly. The rugged terrain puts me in the mind of the southwestern states of America, somehow. It's not at all what my imagination, my prejudices,,, expected or anticipated. Noraly has really proven to me that I know nothing of the world. She still makes me nervous, though!
@@randyroberts4239In fact, Turkey is geographically similar to America. In the north, there are generally beautiful forests and mountains. Turkeys central part is geographically similar to the southwestern states. At the same time, we are surrounded by the sea on three sides
