    I don't think anyone else can make a ride through this desert more entertaining and educational than you manage to do it.
    Almost 50 years ago I've also been a biker and I just admire your skill and expertise on and with a bike.
    When watching your live stream I just coudn't believe to see people criticising and insulting you. But with almost a million fans it's probably to be expected, so pls just ignore them.
    Each episode of your production is an excellent piece of film making which would normally take a sizeable and expensive crowd to produce the same quality. You are multitalented.
    Your series is an unparalleled documentary with a flair of entertainment, education and so inspring on top of it.
    And with such charisma. Don't change anything, not your unique accent either.
    Just be yourself, that's what makes it the success which it is.
    When my son was small I took him for a ride on my bike. Now, past his 30's that experience made him buy his own bike for weekend outings. He discovered Itchy Boots and tipped me off as well. Now I'm also hooked.
    We all hope you'll keep it up for a long time to come.

    Some people here who have not ridden a motorcycle may not realize how difficult this kind of riding
    is and on top of that in a most inhospitable area and if something goes wrong how dangerous it can be.
    She struggles some but keeps a stiff upper lip and wades through some extremely difficult terrain and
    overall makes it look easy. The drone shots are terrific. The Messum caldera was only discovered in 1939
    and is thought to have been the single largest explosive volcanic eruption in Earth's history. I understand
    her comment on how amazing the desert can be particularly at night with the vast swath of stars
    overhead.

    Dear Noraly, your bewilderment and appreciation of the world around you never stops to amaze me. What a beautiful area you are riding through. Thanks again for sharing it with us. It must be hard on you and Savannah as well, these corrogated roads are really demanding!

    Noraly, you're one tough human. An inspiration to me. Thank you being who you are. You have no idea how much strength you give to people. I followed your journey when you completed season 1 and oh boy its been a treat still. One of my favorite channel.

    There she is!! Early bird leaving Cape Cross heading out for another educational session crater hooping... another subject I have no idea about. Thank you for sharing. It's amazing how fragile the desert and everything in it is, but left alone all will survive pretty much. Drony and music caught again just perfect. Beautiful. What a screery, what colors. OK, now to a botony lesson. The plant like a pile of dying leaves, after your explanation incredible this living plant. Road is heavily corrugated again... well, good news, no kidney stones as the old biker would say...how does one get out of the crater... I thought we would be seeing a hill climb challenge. Tank full, on the right road... what can go wrong... You watch the track, I'll have the privilege to watch the scenery. Feel like riding along as a passanger... finally, arrived at the motorbike Inn. Good riding, well done... Ah, a last minute geology lesson on continent lava... Thanks for sharing... Ride careful, Stay safe...

    Yet another AWESOME excursion from our beloved Noraly aka Itchy Boots! Hi Noraly and Savannah! 😍 ADORED this vlog sooo much! You are sooo brave. LOVE your passion, enthusiasm and zest Noraly! I keep telling everyone about you! Honda Powersports, National Geographic, Discovery. I know and respect that you like and wish to remain solo. I just think it would be awesome if someone would pick you up and feature your videos in a big way, so more people our whole world over can enjoy what you gift us with Noraly. 😉🙂
    ~Your prowess on motorcycles, your sheer lack of fear, your educating us all on what you see and where you are, the incredible drone flying blows me away every time (Droney needs a name, lol. Maybe Shadow? 🤣), the beautiful music you add, your wit and intelligence, your joy in discovery, your education and your thirst/quest for more = you are a true gem!
    ~~Love ya girl! Got your Africa Edition neck gaiter in the mail today, yay!! TYSM, I LOVE it! Now I have your calendar, key tag and the gaiter. I am thrilled! As my tight budget allows, will get more Itchy Boots goodies! Thanks for you - May The Universe keep on protecting you and Savannah - all ways and always! See you again soon! 👋🤠👍🏍 Ride on!

    I've loved every minute of your trip through Namibia. Lived in one of those inhospitable gorges you went through and had my first child in Swakopmund. Been back a few times, but it's nothing like travelling with you through the very rough and isolated roads.
    I'm so going to miss you in Namibia. But have loved all your trips through Southern Africa, as I have either travelled through them or lived in some of them.
