Glad my heart didn't have so many parts when my surgeon rebuilt it. Crashed my bike and cracked my sternum. A year later I had shortness of breath and night sweats. Went to emergency and my aortic root was about to rupture...blunt force trauma from bike crash probably caused the issue. 7.5 hours in surgery and 13 years later I get to watch Noraly. Life is good.
11 year anniversary of my heart attack one week ago!!! Doing well, happy you are too !!! Taking the multistrada out this afternoon!! Does my heart good !!!😁😁😁😁😁🏍🏍🏍🏍🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
Wow! Bravo to both of you and many more adventures!
@@SchoolforHackers Keep it going lads.
Have an excellent and healthy new year Brian! 🙏😊
75 miles , it was great!! 45 degrees here in Pennsylvania 😁😁😁🏍🏍🍺🍺🍺
YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I LOVE HEARING GOOD MORNING INTERNET❤ It always makes my day! And I’m sure many others’ day too!
You said just perfect. Put glim in my eyes.🙏🙏🙏
WOW, mad respect for mechanics. I had no idea how many frickin parts there are. Incredibly talented men.
Did you think the engine and gearbox worked by magic?
It's a fairly standard engine rebuild. Mechanics all over the world are doing this stuff everyday and on some much bigger engines.
A MotorBike is so much more than just a MotorBike, Much respect to all the Mechanics, we need your expertise.
That was so cool to watch. This guy needs his business name on the wall. That was global advertising and thanks to Noraly's great camera skills, it showed some great professionalism.
Like some below, I think Honda is dropping the ball. (Even though, Noraly has stripped Alaska to the frame and rebuilt it.) Our Noraly has 1.5 million dedicated viewers of her every move.
Since I found her, about a year, she has solo traveled from the tip of South America to the top of North America on a motorcycle. Then, she put her bike in the shop for a rebuild, rented another bike, and raced in a real Baja Rally race. (including finishing the race injured.)
Then, I realized all of that was only the tip of the iceberg.
I don't get impressed by much anymore, but Noraly and her travels/adventures, all of it, have kept me looking for her and a new post every time I sign on. It's one of the most impressive things I've ever witnessed.
Someone in television is going to figure it out. There are a lot of people doing the same sort of thing on the net, but none are as interesting and compelling to watch as her.
Kudos to those mechanics.
It’s kind of cool that you and Ari Hemming (Shop Manual) both have Honda rebuild videos, giving the bikes some love after challenging Alaskan adventures. It’s also a reminder how much effort went into the original design and engineering of such “simple” machines. I think you really lucked out, finding Bill’s shop, since he is clearly one of the old school, knowledgeable and conscientious mechanics, and one who wisely has a dog supervising everything that goes on in the shop. I cannot wait to see where the next season of adventure takes us.
"But in Africa (Ivory Coast) they fixed it without using a manual.
So glad you got Bill to work on your bike. He’s awesome.
Where is there shop at and the name of Bill’s shop?
As a mechanic, and a fellow Honda duel sport owner (CRF 450RL) i absolutely love this. Hondas are built to withstand neglect and keep running, your maintenance throughout your journey definitely shows! There is nothing i see in this video that makes me think that Alaska was going to give up any time soon. This just shows you how hard you are able to push your bike. Looking forward to see the upgrades, and your next adventure.
I have my fingers crossed to see Alaska down under
The only problem that Honda really needs to address is the design of their output shaft to the front sprocket. They've been using that same poor design for decades, and they really should switch to the type of shaft with lots of small splines that fit tighter, instead of just a few large ones that fit loosely to the sprocket.
@@trevorjameson3213 cant argue with you there, but it usually takes alot of use/ abuse to get to a point where it risks stranding you.
@Bowidog if it were my trip i would go from Papua New Guinea, QSLD, NSW, VIC, Tasmania, then Nz.
Yeah, Australia ans NZ would be absolutely awesome. In this relatives I live next door to Noraly here in Europe and you see and learn so much about the country's Noraly visits. I'd love to see and learn about Australia and NZ
Yes,Yes,Yes,, Oz next !
😂 the “abuse “ clips on Alaska were hilarious.. my fave has to be “..red flashing light..let’s move on..”
Priceless Noraly y Que Viva Alaska 2.0 ✌️😎
I imagined Alaska smiling by looking at the kind of attention she gets from the mechanics and the care Noraly gives to her . Great. The open heart surgery done to the engine was really great. The Surgeons are experts and fantastic.
During heart surgery the smile has to be put in place by retainer clamps in the corners of the mouth, though. Might be a bit weird, maybe accept a 😵-face for a bit until the smile is real again! 🥳
Except that an actual surgeon has to work on a heart while it's still running..
@@robarnt6 LOL!
Noraly?
@@banoesoelist4024 Are you referring to the banter about open heart surgery? It's about Alaska's engine which she called Alaska's heart.
Noraly, Thanks to Bill and Darren for getting Alaska into tip top condition. For her next adventure. Love her graphics colours. 🇿🇦🇬🇧
I love the variety of content on this channel. The social experience + travel is what drew me in first, however, I love the shop talk! It really creates a whole moto-experience!
I would definitely do the same, replace worn parts, upgrade certain areas like the additional tank and get her ready for the next journey. After than i would retire her in my living room and put images of her travel all over the tank. She would be too sentimental to get rid off and she would such a great conversation piece
1st.... I'm really really glad your not replacing Alaska!!
2nd.....I also love that we're getting the details of this thorough overhaul! Great pair of mechanics you got there! Also Great idea to include us in this part of the journey. It adds to the emotional ties we have for this bike.. She deserves this spotlight :)
3rd... I can't wait for the unveiling on your next adventure!!
Thank you for this awesome content.. this is hands down my favorite TH-cam channel.
I got itchy from sleeping with her. Yep, crabs.
Ignore the haters. You know your bike and you know where you're going so just ignore them.
Did you notice how clean his electric tool is?
And all around.
This is what a proper workshop should look like.
🤯🤯🤯It makes sense to all those upgrades that Alaska got. She become as family and earned the sentimental value, plus putting in a hands of a person that loves his job. There is nothing else to add. Let's go Alaska and Noraly !
That young guy is a genius when it comes to motorcycles. He takes them apart like they are Legos!!
The world needs more guys like these two. Their knowledge and skill level is very impressive
Absolutely love this footage. Those gentlemen definitely know their business. It was wonderful watching them. It’s so great that you were willing to restore Alaska as you did instead of buying a new one.
I'm surprised a 300 small engine would have taken you so far Noraly without breaking down more than it did, regular oil changes and filter changes work wonders. It was inevitable that the head bearings and frame would eventually succumb to the terrain!!! Testimony to a rock solid engine and a considerate rider, well done!
Yamaha ybr 125 (125cc) with 10 hp easily makes 60000 miles with full throttle 8500 rpm/60 miles in a hour, without engine repair, and this engine does not have even oil filter, so yes, small not always bad))
Size is pretty much irrelevant. If anything, small engines are easier to work on and are usually simpler. Look up C90 adventures...
Also helps it is not so high strung for higher power but keeping it moderate power
Small bores take people around the world
Honda! What else is there to say ?😄
The same haters that say you spent too much are also riding race bikes for daily drivers that cost twice as much and need maintenance after each tank of gas!
This bike could be just as awesome and thousands less, glad to see you fully diving into this project!
Respect for these professional mechanics!
Darren is a fantastic mechanic! So methodical and organized! And knowledgeable and willing to explain what is going on! Great job to he and Bill doing the work on Alaska! Those two will have her upgraded in no time! And the graphics (what we saw of them) look great!
I think Honda should notice this and sponsor Noraly's motorcycle journey to save her money as well as a thorough endorsement of the CRF300 Rally's durability by Noraly herself.
Edit: I think an acknowledgment from Honda would be enough.
Honda would not do a free engine rebuilt let alone sponsor a new bike. I know we all love Noraly but Honda has many such big name customers.
Yes and Noraly should use her influence and experience to give some tweaks or options to make this honda a real adventure bike.For example, a bigger tank option or a one person saddle and better luggage fasteners (cloer to the center of gravity).
Once you have a sponsor you have to do what they want, not what you want.
There couldn't be a better advertisement for the CRF than today´s video! The health status of the engine and all intestines is really good in face of what Alaska has been put through!
So Honda should sponsor also my 93 Africa twin with 120.000km
When Bill said “by the way we don’t know what we’re doing” made me spit out my coffee laughing!😂
Thanks so much Noraly for giving us videos in between seasons. They’ve been amazing! And can’t wait to find out what the next adventure is!
As much as I have enjoyed your travels and Baja, this video really ranks right up there. It's a testament to your riding skills and care.
Thats right. Real motorcyclists do understand. That road warrior has traversed two whole continents and deserves a proper upkeep.
When you look inside the outer skin of bikes it always amazes me how much stuff is packed inside. It's really great that you found truly skilled moto mech's to revive Alaska for more adventure fun "abuse".
As a former motorcycle mechanic I especially liked this episode. I remember cracking open up to 3 engines per day and seeing either good maintenance conditions or OMG put in box and tell owner major items need replacing (due to abuse or laziness by owner). You are in good shape with those guys - and any mechanic will refer to the manual! Have fun with all the new goodies! Try to use the best lubricants possible.
thank you NORALY, this is another amazing video for me, a retired aviation maintenance Technician, because I get fascinated with all related to engines and mechanical repairs of different machines. Those guys are really specialized in Motorcycle.
Don't listen to the negative comments! You do you ! ..and build your bike the way you want too and get her ready for the next adventure that we are all looking forward to go on with u !👍👍😍🇨🇦
4:33 - I'm not even into motorcycles (outside of your channel) and I think it's good to spend the money to get the best parts in your position, It's one thing if you have limited budget and a motorcycle that you ride once every few months, but you're on that every day for several hours and putting it in irregular more difficult scenarios which in my eyes is 100% worth it.
It's also cool to see you break everything down and why you're choosing certain upgrades, Even if it's not something I would usually be interested in I love learning and I love seeing passionate people talk about their passions :)
Thank you & Safe Travels!
Not sure how you’re going to build on your already amazing achievements. Navigating continents and making friends who speak dozens of different languages, all the while bringing with you more than a million followers, is an insurmountable challenge for most, but you did it all with a smile. Amazing!
Love the fact that during your downtime between adventures you’ve kept us entertained. First the rally and now the rebuild. Great work as always Noraly.
If money versus practicality then the latter will win every time.
As a previous Honda motorcycle mechanic and Service Manager, I can appreciate all that is happening in this video. Looks like you found yourself some excellent techs to help you out. Can't even count the number of times I have done this to my own bikes (dirt and road).
Alaska is like an old horse; having taken it’s rider through thick and thin, the bond is deep and mutual between the two. If your steed has been loyal and true then you must take care of it with respect and love.
Someday you can put it out to pasture but for now enjoy its company one more day
Noraly you are the most interesting person on TH-cam and the world at this time in adventure history!
We love you!
This is additional comment; see what religious maintenance does for the life of mechanical parts; Noraly you have shown us that proper maintenance including oil and filter changes ( air filters too) can extend the life of a engine-bravo for the Honda reliability too!
I can't wait to see you hit 500,000 Miles traveled. Love the videos and stay safe
Wow, you’ve got your own F1 team! Great bunch of guys doing the re build, look forward to the finished product.
As someone who has rebuilt countless motorcycle power plants, kudos to you Norally, for being a very good caretaker of you bike. Goes to show that proper maintenance goes along way towards making sure you do not strand yourself. Great video and thank you guys for going the extra mile for Alaska.
So interesting 🤔
As a mechanical illiterate, it’s always humbling and awe-inspiring to watch skilled and knowledgable mechanics do their thing.
Thanks so much for filming an sharing this episode! 👍🏼
I find this segment fascinating from various points of view. The technical expertise is stellar. Your love and engagement in the rebuild process is a wonderful example of a Pirsig moment.
Zen and all that.
Awesome video. As someone who works in the auto industry, it was refreshing to see you guys in a garage talking about parts and working on what you are passionate about. Reminds me of why I am doing what I am doing today. Thanks for sharing, best wishes on your adventures.
Great job on engine maintenance Noraly! Her heart looked remarkable! And what can you say about Honda...nearly indestructible! With all that mileage in sometimes horrid conditions...she looked fantastic. You made a proper choice in bikes...but then I’m Honda loyal after having 8 of them. Alaska is gonna be one happy girl! Thanks for showing us the transformation!
I'm with you Debbie, love my Hondas always have since 2nd grade with my trusty 50, then upgraduated to a 70!! Have 3 wheelers and need to lower a 230 as I be SHORT!! OH but the zoom Zoom!! and have lived on pins n needles with Noralys adventures! Wished I had been lucky to meet her whilst she was in Colorado🥲🤩go Noraly😍!!
Awsome video, your content are purely 4 motorcycle lovers🥰
You know that guy is a good mechanic because he went through the cost and hassle to get a factory service manual. That's a big batch of brownie points.
I know nothing about motorcycles but the guys know there onions I also like the way he's not too proud always checking the manual as for Bill he's forgotten more than most blokes know your Alaska be good as new cheers n beers Marty Australia
I always find it amusing when you go back and show things, Like “Ignore engine light”. Then again. “Ignore engine light” then again. Humor is good for the soul. The amount of work going back into Alaska, wow. Something huge is planned. I’m glad you found a couple good guys in Alaska to rebuild Alaska. Stay safe.
Overhauling Alaska to build “Super Alaska”! Ready for any road that comes her way!!⚡️
A lot of comments have been, "why not just buy a new bike?" The point is that all motorcycles are a compromise, they are designed to be all things to all riders. The exception to this are competition machines that are designed for one specific purpose. Even a brand new motorcycle would need upgrades to meet Noraly's specific requirements. So the obvious course of action is to keep the tried and tested parts of "Alaska", and tailor other parts to achieve a motorcycle perfect for the "Itchy Boots" adventures that we know and love.
I've not seen one comment "why not just buy a new bike?"
Great episode. It goes to show how the combination of a rider with mechanical sympathy and a well built motorcycle can take you to amazing places.
So glad we are squeezing a few more episodes out of this series😀
ABSOLUTELY. I was preparing myself for a total cold-turkey withdrawal. And NOW I get all these 'icing on the cake' adventures, too THANK YOU, NORALY.
Crazy how good you are at editing me to not look/sound like a total goofball! Such a great experience and can't wait for the next vid!
Lol!
You’re welcome 😜😅
…. That’s a good one! Noraly is the best at riding, racing, videography, editing, soundtrack production, discovery, geology education, teaching, adventure, and a whole host of other things on TH-cam! She always finds and displays the best side of everyone she comes in contact with throughout her travels. She is absolutely the best! Thank you for helping take care of Alaska!
Your bike mechanic skills are amazing and even though I do not own a bike I learned a lot from watching this. I also learned that you have to have long nails to be able to troubleshoot many internal parts.
Dude when you don't try Anything you never getting skilled in Nothing. I make video, s too for almost 15 to 20 years. But when I see an Old movie of mine, I am much beter the last Year. Try and learn... By Experience.. Good luck
Noraly you couldn’t ask for better men at an independent shop to work on your bike, those two mechanics are the real deal, and I hope their business radically blossoms from this video. Arrow exhaust, camel tank, and new decals. Super great choices. Alaska 2.0 will be ready set go to take you all over the world again. Best of blessings to you and always thank you for representing the motorcycle community.
Appreciate it!
So glad you have completely competent tech’s wrenching on Alaska. Particularly the young guy continually referencing the manual on a very public platform demonstrates self esteem and comfort being scrutinized by TH-cam.. this gives us who know what they are doing confidence you will be relying on a squared away machine… Hope you bought them lunch and took care of them because they certainly were taking care of you and Alaska..
Hoping you have a happy new year and a prosperous 2023 Noraly!
Oh how much I love this channel! Just a few weeks ago we watched you finishing your trip to Alaska, then we were treated by the coverage of the Baja rally and now we are enjoying bike porn, uhhh technology!🤗
Really enjoyed this vid, Noraly. I have my fingers crossed we'll get to see more episodes of Alaska's rebuild. Fascinates me, the ingenuity of so many small parts that accumulate to a machine that carries you all around the world. Amazing really.
I think with a new clutch and some bearings your Honda would have easily made it another season. But I think this level of preventative maintenance is to be respected. Much like your travels, it is an example of excellence.
5 liters of extra fuel weighs about 10 pounds ... gonna like the low position of the Camel tank. 👍 New decals, wiring, exhaust, steering & swingarm bearings, piston & rings, valves adjusted, jackshaft spline & sprocket, clutch basket. 👍 Alaska & Noraly, both ready for another 43,000 km! 🙂 Let's GO! 🙂
That Arrow exhaust will probably shave off those 10 pounds that the fuel will take up. Even Steven.
What a fantastic video! It’s testament to the amazing engineering that goes into these small incredible engines. I can’t wait to see her rebuilt.👍🏍
I was going to say basically the same thing. Hondas are some of the best engineered machines on the planet. Their mechanical engineers are very good, especially considering their goal of a profitable, reliable, mass-market product.
Loved this video as a Honda CB500X owner. It was cool to have the mechanics explain the process!
Well done! Good motorcycle mechanics are worth their weight in gold.
27,000 miles oh my God awesome woman!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻✌️🤟
….. And are those converse high tops that you’re wearing?
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Five Star mechanics and all round nice guys! Excellent video Noraly ❤
I finally understand exactly how a motorcycle transmission works!!! Cool cool seeing each part stripped down and explained.
of all the bikes you have taken on your journey , alaska has been the best so far and she connected with a lot of your followers including me. she is a testament of how good and reliable a honda motorcyle can be in the hands of a responsible owner. i ❤️alaska…she is not perfect but she just keep on going and going…and going…🙂
I'm not really a motorcycle guy but I really enjoyed this video and have learned a lot about the motorcycle world in the 100's of Itchy Boots episodes I've watched. With education comes understanding and respect.
I am so happy to see Alaska again, I missed her...she looks beautiful, even after being taken apart into small pieces...she is just a precious, loyal companion that deserves all the care you are giving her.
DEMOLITION is an overly DRAMATIC word for what was really a careful disassembly. Cool to see the process and looks like the bike fared very well mechanically overall!
I’ve been riding for 58 years but am no Mechanic. It amazes me to see these guys tear it down to parts then put it back together again - CORRECTLY!
A KTM mechanic looking at how Honda is doing things and saying: “thats weird”… meaning: “Ahhh that’s how you’re supposed to make that part so it actually will do it’s job”…😂😂😂
Great episode ❤
Amen! But then, they are both top tier rivals, KTM and Honda, both companies are revered for depth of knowledge, history and quality. I think he’s just admiring what he’s finding, and giving respect appropriately.
I should have said oh hey I remember this normal stuff before I came into the oh so strange ktm world!
@@supermotobeard full disclosure: I own 2 1985 original condition Honda GL1200s so I guess I am a sucker for that Honda longevity 😁
Can’t wait for the second episode 🍻🍻
@@BlazinBlades were those the one's that got crusty stator connectors?
@@supermotobeard exactly!
I’m surely not alone in loving this ‘off line” segment of your moto life documentary. We all have to deal with this stuff in order to ride around and do the other stuff, so reality. And you have great tech help there to observe. (plus dog) Thanks!
Your journey has brung a lot of flashbacks in my off-road days.. I was the first to buy a 4-stroke when all my friends had two strokes it was a 1993 dr350 Suzuki. My friends called it the Lead Sled but... after a few modifications there was a new King of the Woods I restrung my suspension front and rear opened up the air box put a megaphone on it and b re jetted the carburetor she pretty smooth out there in the Ozarks mountains. but but you are living my dream I don't know how you get to financing to do this but more power to you. Keep it wfo
I am truly amazed at the strength of the frame after all the abuse this bike has been through.
I cant imagine the labor cost with all that work. It should definitely be ready for the next extravaganza.
Excellent way to stimulate that local economy.
As the owner of the same bike, I’m very curious how much this cost.
So interesting to experience the overhaul of Alaska with you!
I'm going to say "What have I done..." is a rhetorical statement but, it does have a very common answer. You had somebody go through your engine and motorcycle looking for anything amiss. It's a smart thing to do #1 so you don't end up stranded somewhere and #2 there's a good chance it will save you money in the long run. It's easy for one failing part to cause lots of other parts to fail. Now you have a fresh engine on a fresh motorcycle.
Thank you sharing your rebuild of Alaska. With the miles you put on, l’m surprised it was such good shape.😊
The condition of the bike is a testament both to Honda's design and build quality, and your good intuitive sense of how to ride and maintain the bike without pushing components to the point of damage - you have changed fluids and fllters whenever you could, plus of course repairing "survival" items like those fork seals as needed. A lesson for all of us! Looking forward to Alaska's reincarnation and to your next adventure!
"...and a RED light. Let's move on." My fav quote of season 6! 😳🤣
Quite amazing the intricacies of the technology in the heart of Alaska. It's a humbling experience for most to try and understand how everything interacts. How nice to have the trust you do with Bill and Daren. Very excited to see where we're off to next. The camel tank was a small tantalizing clue. Cool video! Thanks, Noraly!
Another great episode! Thanks for including us in Alaska's check-up & overhaul. It's all part of the journey.
I don't think it is foolish to spend the money fixing up Alaska, but I do think that Honda would have been very happy to take her off your hands in exchange for a new model. Their factory having the opportunity to tear it down and evaluate is rare. Plus, having millions watching you is great advertising.
You have to read Peter and Kay Forwood, world motorcycle travel,s story to understand the feelings over a motorcycle, it,s on Google and TH-cam, worth reading
@@jelau4851 why commas instead of apostrophes?
@@nairbyad7188 you'd be surprised how many different type of keyboards are out there for different languages
@@TheKonstantinius Thank you for answering to this folk who ignores maybe
@@nairbyad7188just to piss you off
Noraly, You have earned the respect of (motorcycle) riders from around the world ! You are a rider ! That is something to be proud of. Don’t ever forget that “ it is your life and you are the one that has to live it “. Good Luck ! Happy New Year !
These guys are professional even if small. The repairs she requires could pay for a new bike. But it would be without the upgrades she wants. And no factory bike will. It is also possible to upgrade reliability too. I understand why she is doing it. However if she goes into the outback for a season, the bike will be toast after. After the second fork seals, you need to polish the tubes. There are many other increased costs. Especially when paying parts and labor. Many of us repair our own. I followed Noraly from the first episode when it came out. I have the same 2018 white himilayan. I bought it after I saw her video. Only got 7000 miles on mine. Mostly short drive to work with a few outings every year. Noraly puts me, and most of her viewers to shame in skill, determination, endurance, and bravery. I know I will never do what she is doing. Yet because I am a biker, have ridden forests, beaches, deserts, cities, highway, etc (in 61, started 17), I am living a whole other life through her eyes. Thank you Noraly.
I don't wash my motorcycle often but it's good to do so before a big tear down like this. It helps prevent foreign materials from enter clean places like wire plugs and such. Plus it makes it much easier to not have to deal with all the grime.
It's winter in Alaska. My hunch is it's not advised to power wash outside. And I'm sure he doesn't want a garage full of water.
@@trailruntim It is winter now but this was filmed about 3months ago
You're right on there. The bike should have been steam cleaned before they tore it all down.
@@DaBinChe September is pretty much winter in Alaska. They have about 4 months of decent weather up there and the rest is shit.
Ha mechanics don't clean bikes
Thanks for sharing this, Noraly. As a mechanic/engineer, I found it very interesting, and applaud you (and Honda) on the condition of your bike/engine after such a hard ride. I started watching your videos a few weeks ago with the epic S6 ending. Then I went back to the beginning of S2 then S6. I have seen S3 and S4, and am now enjoying S1. I'll hit S5 when that's done. Hopefully by then you will have started your next adventure! All the best!
Wow, watching this really makes me want to become a motorcycle mechanic. Too old to change careers now, but if I had to do it all over again....
Great video Noraly Bill & his mate really are top guys for Alaska. Looking forward to more adventure with you. 👍🏻👍🏻😊
You prove over and over why Honda's are such great machines and practically bulletproof. You push their machines to such limits and they hardly wear or breakdown. If I was the CEO of Honda I would send you a new bike and give you all the support you need on your journey! You're a hell of an ambassador for their brand!
Wow. I always love watching your travels. Never missed one yet. While I am not mechanically inclined in any way. I found this video absolutely educational and interesting. Can't wait for the next adventure.
I loved this video of the engine teardown and appreciate you and Bill and Darren making it. There are so many facets in life that play a role into making our adventures. Seeing how it all plays together is fascinating. So very well done. Thank you Noraly.
Great job explaining and repairing !
🇮🇹Here WE are, folks! Gooood Afternoon, Noraly, Internet, sisters and brothers, let’s goooooo, as usual! 🇮🇹
Good morning internet!!
1st- congrats on the rally!!
2nd- I’m so glad you are keeping your 300, it is easily my favorite small displacement bike. I have owned 2 Honda 250’s and they are great bikes.
Can’t wait for what’s next…💯
🙏🙏
I'm excited for the next season already 🙌 🤗. Go well, Itchy Boots .
After years of leaving aviation mechanic to an office job I realized where I really need to be. In the shop like these guys you have in your vid. Nice work! 🎉
Not sure if you see all these messages Norally but as I am one of the first.....so maybe you will! Just want to say I have been folloing you for 4+ years and would like to thank you for keeping us entertained. You even inspired me to get off my backside and ride a little 100cc two-stroke around ireland so thanks for that too. Congrats on the Baja.....ride safe....can't wait to hear what's happening next ! 🤗
Given the distance and brutal conditions you rode the bike through, it's amazing that your Honda held up as well as it did.
Great bike,great rider!
Bob, It's a HONDA, built to last.
@@Washoejim Honda has a reputation for building great engines that last. What makes this case so special is the brutal environment the engine went through and it survived.
Anything Japanese will last.
She's really extremely easy on engines, practically never hits redline, doesn't bang gears, keeps up with service intervals.
