Im a rider (both street and dirt) of over 50 yrs. I just turned 71yrs young! Been keeping track of you and your adventures. You riding around the world for 3.5 years without injury is a testimony of your riding skill. Also, I hope other riders take note of why it is so important to wear protective cycle gear, no matter how hot the weather is! One last comment: Now is the time to rest and let your body heal. I've dumped my dirt bikes many times. My biggest mistake was riding before my body was completely healed! Listen to the doctor and let your body completely heal before returning to the road. As we say here in the Northwest 'Keep you knees to the breeze and the rubber side down'. Stay safe Norally!
Hey Paul, Billy here. I live in Kentucky. You sound closer to her than me . But if she needs something and I can help give me a shout. Like you I'm 69 and started riding in 1969. Your right she needs to heal before moving on. Like I said before. Give me a holler if I can help in any way. Talk to you later. Billy
Hey Paul and Billy - i am an old fart too and have had my share of wipeouts on bikes and flying machines - the only way to avoid getting injured is to never go out but who wants that ? Yet i could crush my hands in the refrigerator door. She's definitely not the stay-at-home type but wish she slowed down a bit .. just a bit ...LOL
I’m sure I can speak for countless US citizens that would drop everything to come to your aid, no matter the kilometers! The Itchy Boots Army is on standby. Get well soon, Noraly! 🙏
Noraly, I can promise you that you have thousands friends in the US ADV riding community that would come to your aid at the drop of a hat. You put the word out and folks would be happy for you to recouperate at their homes for sure and I know Alaska would be all sorted out as well. You are a legend here. Everwhere I go I hear people talking about following your adventures. Heal quick and ebrace American hospitality.
My thoughts exactly! Last week I was at the BMW dealer and everybody there knew Noraly! Old guys(like me), young guys, they all knew. The salesman was so excited to get a notification that you were crossing the US border that he couldn't wait to tell us. Actually he told me twice.
all of what Bruce says is true. Hopefully you won't need any doctors or mechanics, but we stand ready to assist. Rest up. See you soon, back on the road.
As a former off-road rider I took a similar fall. Ten miles away from civilization hit a loose rock that rolled out from under my front tire and bam, I was on the ground. I broke my left wrist and ankle and had to ride myself back. Ohh man manipulating the clutch and shifter with a broken wrist and ankle was miserable to say the least. Your new woman ally Tatiana was a god sent angel. As said by another commenter, there are countless American followers who would do anything no matter the expense to aid you in your hour of need. Heal my sweet girl Noraly. We need you to continue when ready. 🇺🇸
I hope you know that you have thousands of friends here in the US that you don’t know but would do anything to help. Some of the nicest TH-cam channels are in that general area and would be there in a heart beat if you needed help. A few days of rest will do wonders for your ankle.
The crash is a typical Nevada welcome for visitors. This is where folks come to crash, crash their diets, crash their bank accounts, crash their irrational dreams of winning a lot of money, crash their lifestyles by getting married, and crash their lives........our homeless problem is completely out of control. Whatever you have you can pretty much crash it in Las Vegas, Nevada.
All the comments show forth how many people have been touched by you through you travels and amazing adventures! God bless you Noraly! Watching again from Colorado
Noraly, the deserts here can easily get up to 120 degrees and fast, consider bringing an umbrella in your kit somewhere for shade. If you fall and have to wait for help, you can be in a life threating situation. Love your videos!
Not all the desserts are that hot. Some, like berry pies for example, are usually served room temperature. And ice cream is at least freezing. Don't scare our Ouchy Boots out of trying those American sweet treats. Now, the deserts... they can be dangerous.
Ray Jardine a PCT and Appellation trail thru hiker even suggested covering the top of the umbrella with a space blanket. It is reflective and can really lower the heat under the umbrella. Use paper clips to attach it. I have used it and it works really well.
Oh my gosh, the visit to the supermarket was hilarious! Noraly and her new friend are a hoot together, like a comedy team! I have a feeling they'll keep in touch.
I've had my best adventures this way - when I slipped and fractured my wrist while climbing down a mountain in Morocco a family took me in for a month. Got caught in fighting in Pakistan and was rescued and taken in by a family, ended up at a wedding. The good helpful people come to help.
When you suddenly switch to Dutch, that's when you know you're really worried. And then even apologising to us for taking your time to turn around after getting injured... The fact that this 'only' happened after 3.5 years of traveling around the world is testimony to your fierceness. Hope you recover quickly, Ly!!
I love you quote: "if you want to have epic battles, you're going to have some battle scars". That's understanding the risks, keeping a positive mental attitude, and accepting your situation. I'm definitely using that in the future! 👍🏻🔥❤️
Damn, Itch! That's a bummer.Glad you got down that hill and back to town without too much trouble. BTW you have more than one friend in the US; probably close to half a million at this point. Speedy recovery!
High time you had a rest - even if fate had to force it on you! Feet up, relax, cool drinks in the shade, don't rush the healing or it won't heal properly!!! Loads of best wishes from all of us Itchy Boots junkies!
So sorry that you and Alaska are injured 😥 The lady from Brazil was so sweet to get you to the doctor and take you grocery shopping 👍😃. I hope that you have healed well ❤️🙏🇺🇸
Greetings from Pennsylvania! Oh Normally, my heart was in my throat when you went down. So glad you're ok! You've got bunches of friends here in Pa! Your videos are always a highlight of my day. As many others have said, give it the time you need. we'll be hear when you are on the road again. Wish you could see all the beautiful states here. Today I am 70 years old and still bopping around on my Vespa LX150. You have been such an inspiration. Love ya. Heal quickly
First...I'm glad you're not severely hurt. Second, congratulations to REV'IT for making awesome gear! Noraly went down at high speed on a very steep hill and rocky terrain and only sprained her ankle when the bike came down on it. No other marks. Glad you were wearing it in that awesome heat.
Itchy Boots. Phenomenal, person, adventure, cinematographer, geologist, enduro, Ducati super sport pilot (Dutch police biker) 🙂 The accolades are endless. As I am sixty year old biker, with amongst other ex MC courier experinance London based. Have so enjoyed your spirit and with respect , watched you develop your ridding skills !!! Simply stunning. You are an amazing ambassador to to entire biking community. There is only one negative.... The law of averages. The way you took on the Kalahari rally was beyond belief, but since you obviously saw the "red mist" or BRAP ! ... it was only a matter of time before you take a nasty off. We as in family, and fellow followers are just so wishing you a strong recovery. Please Noraly, Take it easy with your friend, and allow full recovery

One more Brazilian over here, Noraly. Good to know that Tatiana was able to help you a little, and that she proudly represented my country in such a positive way. Hope you and Alaska get better soon 🙂
Tatiana sure was a real sweetheart...... sure nice to know there's some great people out there! The airlines in the USA are so short of pilots, I'm sure she'll make an excellent one.

@@slavicslavman Hey, that's so nice to hear! Thank you so much, in behalf of all Brazilians 🙂
I am so thankful that you were able to get back to a hotel and a doctor. Traveling through the desert alone offers the freedom and flexibility you desire, but it also has a fair amount of risk. I know that there are viewers that watch over you with their prayers and so we see this as an answer to our prayers for your well being.
Trying to write my feelings on your mishap. First I’m so glad that someone is coming to get you. It could have been worse out there where you fell. Getting Alaska turned around before that injury made it impossible was fortunate. It could have been worse. Please heal fast, take your meds. Kick back for awhile, a Zillion people love and care for you. I hate it that you got hurt! Ice the heck out of that ankle!
As a ‘semi-experienced rider’ I was taught when I was taking a course to obtain my bike license that it is imperative to wear protective gear, even though it’s uncomfortable because of the heat. All should know that you have saved yourself from more painful and serious injuries because you’re always wearing the essentials. (E.G. road burns etc) I’m SO GLAD that you’re not seriously injured because you’re such a wonderful videographer AND rider and an inspiration to so many of your subscribers. BEST OF LUCK when you continue !
@@babar69110 if you can't twist your ankle, you can risk more serious injuries in your knee though. I wear adventure boots and they're really comfy apart from really hot weather
@@Dbdilly don t tell me how to crash :) if you think your ankle rotating will prevent your knee, I agree... You will have maybe a good knee but a tornd ankle... :( My Enduro boots saved my feet so many times that I even use them on road.... But it means not riding feet positioned like duck. Reverted angle inside frame... First thing told in Enduro riding mm .
Over preparing for a crash is a mistake, you should be more focused on not crashing. I motorcycle crash will break an ankle, boot or not boot. The forces are too great....The bike weighs over 300 lbs. A boot isn't going to save your foot. She was lucky. Its more important to put your energy into studying riding techniques from professionals, like any thing else. Pro racers dont' crash as much as you might think. Its the adventure riders that are crashing all over the place in highly predictable scenarios. I personally remove protective gear when its too hot, to stay cool, so I can concentrate, and not pass out. Its that kind of thinking that helps. Wearing orange so other drivers can see you is good, but some drivers aren't looking.....You get my drift. Crash less. Try not to crash at all, ever.
Noraly I’m glad you’re OK, it’s so interesting how as a rule, we can ask for help and support from strangers and at the appropriate time, they show up. I think this has a lot to do with your reflection, as an incredible human being, love of life, your attitude, and how you create, and make things happen for yourself. Get well, take the time, and allow yourself to be cared for, and supported. 🙏🏼❤️
In my 50 years of riding I learned that it is not a matter of if you are going to drop your bike and get injured but a matter of when. I am glad you were not injured severly.
Hey Noraly, we are sisters in crime. I hurt my left ankle too, two weeks ago, going on the TET in Bosnia. Feel with you. Get better soon. Best wishes from Germany - ride on💪
Yikes!!! Sorry Noraly you got hurt. You have many of us that could have provided you with help but glad that you know someone 684 km away. Thanks to Tatiana for taking you to the doc and grocery store. So Noraly, you now need to rest and take a break and let the ankle heal. Don't rush out with a bad ankle. If you need anymore assistance, please shout out on Instagram. We will come running.
Danger of been a lone rider. Always thought you are so brave going into the wilderness alone. Now you just proved how brave and calm you really are. Well done you ,glad it's not serious. You will be back in the saddle Pronto.
Tatiana to the rescue! So glad you found a friend with an adventurous spirit like yours to sort you out. Hope all is well with Alaska too. Take good care and get better!
Noraly, I pray you feel better soon. Just so you know, you may only know one person here in the US, but you have many friends here that would be glad to help you.
I raced (MotoCross, Flat track, scrambles ) in my youth. I now have scars and metallic parts to support wounded parts, and there is no medical reason to remove most of the metallic parts. I quit after a relatively serious fall and went on to do other things. Maybe 15 years after I quit racing, I got back on street bikes and had excellent week long trips with some collage friends. 7 years ago I sold my last bike (BMW 800cc vertical twin) because reflexes start to fade and you may not know it... I stumbled on your excellent guide to a better life with motorcycles. I love it! I would get nervous at the speed you were driving, but I after looking at more of your adventures I believe the speed was added in the editing. The drone shots with you riding by yourself, - perhaps the view was 50 miles in every direction and the only thing moving was you, and a instrumental background that demonstrated your good taste in life and video. You are a very skilled person in many ways and if y ou were a corporation, I would love to buy some stock. You are making the world a better place. Thank you.
You have thousands of friends here in the USA. We watch every video you put up and we're amazed at your bravery of traveling alone. I've followed your video's from the very beginning and bought a motorcycle just because of you and ride around wishing I was a world traveler like you. You're such an inspiration for younger people to get out and do something and see the world. We all wish you well and if possible would do anything to help you get better. Take care of yourself and we will look forward to your next video. We're so glad that girl was so nice to you when you really needed the help.
Oh Noraly! I'm watching with bruised ribs and empathy here on my couch, having had a right-of-way disagreement with two deer on a two-track while on my Wee Strom 700 miles and five days ago. I'm glad you consistently "dress for the fall, not just the ride." My best wishes to you. Heal completely and quickly. BTW, you have more than just one friend in America. You simply haven't met the rest of us yet. ❤
Damn those 🦌. And they are stubborn. Always gotta be right. The arrogance of them is unbelievably rude. I had a right of way discussion with a trash panda 🐼. (Racoon) and just to prove his point he was a real smart ass and threw his body into my car and put a hole in my radiator the size of a baseball just so he could make a point. Last words we had was a serious mean look at me while he stood in shock. He tried to come at me so I left. Cost me $300. Little jerk. Sorry for your ribs. That's some painful stuff.
Hi Norley you hit very hard on the rock ,I know how painful it is ,I hope that not to much injury if it is muscle tear then it will take time dear yes you have done right by keeping ice on it.Grate way of friendship with sweet young lady , But from now on keep some medicen small kit,may be you must be having but you are Brave lady before your fall you realised that it is going to be some problem and you were aware of it but that would happened just you thought . "Brave Always Show their Game on Battelfield" GET WELL SOON &STEADY
I've been riding for many, many years and one thing I've learned is to follow Doctor's orders completely. Once we suffer an injury, we rarely recover to 100%. I have also discovered that we may recover to 90% or even 95%, but never to 100%. So be very careful out in the wild, and mother nature can be wild! Also, welcome to the western deserts of the USA. It's beautiful out there! Take time to recover, and Good Luck!
This was the first episode that i saw, & I was hooked to follow to see how you got on. Then I decided to go back to episode 1tso watch the entire voyage up to now. After I finish then Alaska trip, I'll go back & watch ALL the previous seasons. I salute you !! I'm 73 & still ride - although not off-road. Your videos, drone -shots & charming personality have me hooked! Ride on Miss Boots !!
I've been trail riding for 55 years and that was a proper get off. In true Itchy fashion she laughed about it and the concern was when can I ride again and how's my bike. Well played.
Noraly, I hope you are feeling much better now and enjoying your adventure! It was so unfortunate that you had the mishap while riding in such a beautiful area. Very nice of the lady to help you to the Drs office and grocery shopping! I can’t wait for your next episode! Take care of yourself!
This is what I love about motorcycles - just reading all these comments - there's a brotherhood that is watching after you Noraly. Have a quick recovery 🙏🏻. From another fellow rider in Texas.
That is good to hear no broken bones. Yes, rest your ankle. Wishing you a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing you back on Alaska. Take it easy. 😊
I always worry for you out in the wilderness by yourself, but at the same time I understand why you do it. I am glad you are safe and you got medical care. My family loves to watch you. ❤️
This was the very first episode, I wasn't hopeful looking ahead to watch. But glad to see in the intro, that you were still were smiling and making jokes.😘
Since I knew it was coming I was wincing until the fall. But Noraly has got to be one of the most positive and bright people ever. That’s probably why she has so many followers on TH-cam. We all need that positive influence and that friend who likes adventure. Even if we experience it vicariously. Love her content! Best wishes to her and a speedy recovery! Thank you
one thing ive noticed that would really really help you. try to ride faster. up hills, through mud holes. the reason its so much better to have more speed is the faster you go the more centrifical force your wheels have and the more forces you have keeping you and your bike up right. I know it sounds like the opposite of what makes sense but im telling you if theres one of the most important things ive learned in 25 years of riding dirt bikes/adventure bikes is the faster you can go over tough terrain (within reason) the better chance you have of keeping it upright. regardless you are one tough cookie and I have no doubt you will overcome this no problem!!
Hard to see you go down like that in such a remote place alone. I used to ride in the desert alone quite a bit myself but after a few close calls on bad crashes, I always go with someone else now. I am so glad you are OK. Hope you get better soon and back in the saddle. Too bad some of the people out west can't accompany you on some of the more remote and challenging routes. There is SO much awesome riding out there but it is best done with a companion. Godspeed Noraly.
@@Vahlakable Do you know she is NOT the only one that has done that? There´s plenty of people with a lot of experience, Noraly is just fantastic sharing her adventures with us through social media.
@@Vahlakable Will all due respect, there aren't too many places as remote and deadly hot as the American southwest in late July. People can and do die from exposure within hours without shade or hydration in this climate. I have travelled these areas extensively and I personally know ex special forces guys who almost died on routine trips through some of these backroads. Some of these roads only see a handful of people each week on them this time of year, if at all. If you cannot self rescue or are incapacitated and unable to call for help, assuming it could get to you in time, yes, it is a mortal danger. Every year tourists coming from Las Vegas die in southern Utah and Arizona. I read a book once called Death in the Grand Canyon and it would amaze you how even the smallest mistake can be fatal in these unforgiving environments. There isn't much you can do to prepare for the elements either, and in my experience having a companion through some of these remote and seldom travelled areas can be the difference between life and death. Just my two cents and I do know what I am talking about.
it was a real steep climb with loose rock and gravel. it may cause lost of traction of the wheel tyre to the track surface and may cause our bike not easy to control and out of balance. we have to open the throtle to gain power to maintain speed momentum in this steep climb which in turn may cause the front wheel off the ground surface. in addition the Noraly's bike burdened such maybe about 30 kg of luggage at the back. all those conditions contribute to make the crash happened. not as simple as that to tackle. deflate the air pressure in wheel tyre maybe can help a bit to gain traction & to get better control on bike balance on these steep loose surface. an all wheel drive dirtbike maybe ideal for this condition, that may not need big effort to pass this steep climb.
Of all the places to get hurt and have to see a doctor, you choose the US the most expensive health care arghhh but I’m so glad you found a friend, Tatiana, to help you xo
Noraly you nailed it, epic adventures come with epic scars. It was going to happen at some point, the motorcycle law of averages. Whats most important is you are ok and in good spirits. Second most important is you always dress for the fall, this helped a lot especially with your left elbow! I cant see if you hit your head hard, but I would ask Arai to get a new lid to you in case. Hope Alaska wasn't too badly damaged and of course we are relieved it happened without other vehicles involved and you were still able to continue. Hoping for your speedy recovery, I know exactly how it feels after years of crashing! Speedy recovery legend!
Man, I learn so much from you everyday. How can you stay so calm and happy and cheerful in difficult situations. Most people would be swearing and angry. Now whenever I am in a bad situation, I always think what would Noraly do. Haha
That was really a hard hit and you just stood up, explained what happened, turned the bike around and continued the ride. Respect!!! Hope your ankle is good again.
Believe it or not Noraly, you have lots of “friends” in the US, you just don’t know us yet. Take good care, take a proper break and don’t ride again too soon!
I think I can speak for many viewers who over time have worried about you ending up injured . You know we dont want this to happen but the law of averages states it had to happen one day. Although you seem hurt but you have survived . You have taken tumbles before .At least you got back on . Take care
It's amazing the thousands of kilometers that you have travelled and never had a serious injury. The bright side to your misfortune ( if there is a bright side ) is you have MANY followers that would help you in the " Noraly Network". Tatiana was a guardian angel sent to help you. Sending you good vibes and prayers on a speedy recovery.
Ankle injuries are a nagging type of thing that seems to take a while to get over. I'm glad you use good riding gear to help protect your self. Your boots did their job. Who would have thought a gal from the Netherlands and a gal from Brazil, would meet in small town USA, but then what's new with Noraly's world travels. 👍👍
Hate that you hurt yourself. Something we learned climbing the hills in the Mojave and around the Sierra Nevada on the state line between Nevada and Cali. We found it useful to drag our feet and open the throttle up in first or second gear. The bikes would get squirrely, but the foot drag and leg power were enough to keep the bike from falling over or slipping out from underneath. Note, we even did this with a box full of firewood on the back of the motorcycle. I didn't look closely at your boots, but I think they can do it. Obviously, you'd have to avoid running over your foot again. If you're planning for it, keeping the legs out and away is pretty easy. Also, it makes it easier to lay the bike down if you need to. Odds are you'll run into this again. It's what makes riding fun in California and Nevada. Honest, it is fun, sucks this time, though. Hope your foot and motorcycle heal quick.
When I saw your Facebook post yesterday I was really worried you had broken your arm or leg. While a sprain is still a significant injury, I’m happy to hear it’s not more significant. Here’s to quick healing.
I can only imagine how much your ankle must have been hurting when you had to pick the bike up and turn it around. All our love for a speedy recovery. We need you back doing what you do best!!!!
Great, unintentional endorsement for "all gear, all the time" - the injuries from that getoff could have been much worse without proper protective equipment, including the boots that likely saved you from a cracked or broken ankle. The way you fell I was worried you had broken a rib too! Thanks for taking us the places you do, despite the challenging conditions. I think that Rally Raid suspension is getting your over the rougher patches with more security than formerly, but of course there is always something that will decide to bite you. Get well and be safe - more than a million pairs of eyes are watching out for you!
Noraly. Only yesterday I was watching you going fast in the desert, and saying to myself "don't hurt yourself".... and now you did it. 😥 Noooooooooooo. So sorry that happened. Sending Well Wishes to you for a speedy recovery. 🤞🙏👊👊👋
Happy to hear that at least you didn't break any bones. I love your positive attitude, even when you have setbacks like this. By the way, you have many many friends in the US, you just haven't met them in person yet. You have a huge fan base here, me included (too bad I am on the East Coast). I am positive that whatever you need, people will help you.
Wherever Noraly goes in the US, There will be people around, if needed, to help her out. We all love what she's doing. Close by, in the Palm Springs area.
Dear Noraly, I am here wishing you a very speedy recovery, get plenty of rest, stay off that foot and like Tatiana said, a couple of margaritas.😁😁 Tatiana, se você chegar a ler meu comentário, MUITÍSSIMO OBRIGADO por ajudar nossa rainha Itchy Boots, você foi simplesmente a heroína do dia e te desejo também muito boa sorte em obtendo o seu brevê. Valeu, beijo no coração 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Rule of thumb when bike stall at steep path. To prevent it from slipping downward. Apply/Locking rear brake, If handle bar is at uphill. Conversely, apply front brake, if handle bar is at downhill. Always watch out for tendency of front wheel slip off on loose sand, rocks while cornering. At the same time, try not to avoid jamming front brake, but slow down and apply rear brake. Stay safe and enjoy riding..
Loved the "If you want to fight epic battles you might get epic scars" comment. Sorry about the fall, but it looks like you fall way less than Charlie and Soy Tribu. Have a good rest up. Get Alaska seen to and we will look forward to your continuing adventures.
A good technique for turning around on a steep difficult hill is to leave the bike on its side (or push it over), then just drag the rear wheel around to where the kickstand is downhill and you’re across the slope. Pick it up, and you’re pointed where you need to be. It’s a lot less work than muscling the bike through a 15-point turn.
She probably didn’t want to drag her bike like that though through the dirt and large rocks because she loves it so much and tries to take as good care of it as possible.
@@James_Edward59 That’s pretty patronizing. They’re adventure bikes for a reason, and what I described is a pretty standard technique, though not everyone knows it. Anyone afraid to drop their bike has no business leaving the pavement. Edit: word choice.
@@Iron-and-strings No need to patronize a tough adventure rider, either, or suggest it’s cool to risk further injury doing a multi-point turn on steep rocky terrain just to avoid a potential scratch or two on a bike purpose made to be used hard. But here we are. All dude had to do was not be contrary on a subject he clearly knows nothing about.
Noraly; so sorry over your crashing! Please do take care and stay safe and heathy. I am recovering from open-heart surgery and enjoying your videos. God Bless YOU!!
Hello Tatiana, welcome to the wonderful world of Noraly, thank you for stepping in to help out. Gonna be a pilot eh? That's proper cool 🙂 As for you Noraly, take it easy, rest that ankle, and don't go trying to get going too soon (ie before your ankle has had time to get better). Oh and better now when you're in a nice warm place than later when you're up north in the cold.
She's doing things that most of us would never do solo travel around the world and most of us would take the normal Highway she's cutting through deserts and other things that could potentially hurt her due to the hot heat or her breaking down
Sooooo glad you did not break anything (body part). Take all the time you need to recuperate🙏🙏 We will be here when you get back on road. Best Wishes for full recovery! Prayers... 💖💖🏍🤠
@@francismuia8020 Let's hope for a speedy recovery ! Noraly was briefly riding near where I live. I would of loved to have met her! Greetings Frances from Desert Hot Springs, CA.
From a guy with 52 years of riding under his belt, you are doing very well, this is a mere hiccup. Good riding gear is hot and heavy but comes in handy when you take a soil sample! I savor your video reports like good food, and will wait impatiently for you to heal.👍
Im a rider (both street and dirt) of over 50 yrs. I just turned 71yrs young! Been keeping track of you and your adventures. You riding around the world for 3.5 years without injury is a testimony of your riding skill. Also, I hope other riders take note of why it is so important to wear protective cycle gear, no matter how hot the weather is! One last comment: Now is the time to rest and let your body heal. I've dumped my dirt bikes many times. My biggest mistake was riding before my body was completely healed! Listen to the doctor and let your body completely heal before returning to the road. As we say here in the Northwest 'Keep you knees to the breeze and the rubber side down'. Stay safe Norally!
Hey Paul, Billy here. I live in Kentucky. You sound closer to her than me . But if she needs something and I can help give me a shout. Like you I'm 69 and started riding in 1969. Your right she needs to heal before moving on. Like I said before. Give me a holler if I can help in any way. Talk to you later. Billy
Hey Paul and Billy - i am an old fart too and have had my share of wipeouts on bikes and flying machines - the only way to avoid getting injured is to never go out but who wants that ?
Yet i could crush my hands in the refrigerator door. She's definitely not the stay-at-home type but wish she slowed down a bit .. just a bit ...LOL
Is 53 too old to start as a female especially 😕
I’m sure I can speak for countless US citizens that would drop everything to come to your aid, no matter the kilometers! The Itchy Boots Army is on standby. Get well soon, Noraly! 🙏
Absolutely!
We will rise when needed !
Absolutely!
I second that put me on standby anytime !
She would have people lined up around the block if she ever put out the SOS!
Noraly, I can promise you that you have thousands friends in the US ADV riding community that would come to your aid at the drop of a hat. You put the word out and folks would be happy for you to recouperate at their homes for sure and I know Alaska would be all sorted out as well. You are a legend here. Everwhere I go I hear people talking about following your adventures. Heal quick and ebrace American hospitality.
I totally agree. Noraly, we are all watching you and would love to help if we can. DM me if you need help in the Seattle area.
My thoughts exactly! Last week I was at the BMW dealer and everybody there knew Noraly! Old guys(like me), young guys, they all knew. The salesman was so excited to get a notification that you were crossing the US border that he couldn't wait to tell us. Actually he told me twice.
You're covered in NorCal for sure.
Well said
all of what Bruce says is true.
Hopefully you won't need any doctors or mechanics, but we stand ready to assist.
Rest up. See you soon, back on the road.
This girl never stops smiling . . . .that`s why we love this channel
Even after crashing and hurting yourself and Alaska, you manage to stay as cheerful as always. You're such an inspiration, Noraly 😘
At the end of the video I could tell she really just wanted to cry. No shame in that
Absolute truth!
😂
@Contingency IBCT I suspect she is more sad about being waylaid rather than the pain.
Glad I saw your comment, because that was exactly how I felt after watching.
As a former off-road rider I took a similar fall. Ten miles away from civilization hit a loose rock that rolled out from under my front tire and bam, I was on the ground. I broke my left wrist and ankle and had to ride myself back. Ohh man manipulating the clutch and shifter with a broken wrist and ankle was miserable to say the least.
Your new woman ally Tatiana was a god sent angel. As said by another commenter, there are countless American followers who would do anything no matter the expense to aid you in your hour of need. Heal my sweet girl Noraly. We need you to continue when ready. 🇺🇸
i bet that hurt !!!
I hope you know that you have thousands of friends here in the US that you don’t know but would do anything to help. Some of the nicest TH-cam channels are in that general area and would be there in a heart beat if you needed help. A few days of rest will do wonders for your ankle.
The crash is a typical Nevada welcome for visitors. This is where folks come to crash, crash their diets, crash their bank accounts, crash their irrational dreams of winning a lot of money, crash their lifestyles by getting married, and crash their lives........our homeless problem is completely out of control. Whatever you have you can pretty much crash it in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Yes.!!

@@journeyman553 Sooooo True lol
Tu as des amis aussi au Québec !
All the comments show forth how many people have been touched by you through you travels and amazing adventures! God bless you Noraly!
Watching again from Colorado
Noraly, the deserts here can easily get up to 120 degrees and fast, consider bringing an umbrella in your kit somewhere for shade. If you fall and have to wait for help, you can be in a life threating situation. Love your videos!
Not all the desserts are that hot. Some, like berry pies for example, are usually served room temperature. And ice cream is at least freezing. Don't scare our Ouchy Boots out of trying those American sweet treats. Now, the deserts... they can be dangerous.
Excellent advice!
I have worked Search & Rescue out here for many years. This desert Kills people. Please be careful. Hope you feel better soon.
She oicked the wrong time of year to traveling in the desert. Spring or fall would have been better.
Ray Jardine a PCT and Appellation trail thru hiker even suggested covering the top of the umbrella with a space blanket. It is reflective and can really lower the heat under the umbrella. Use paper clips to attach it. I have used it and it works really well.
I am glad a fellow Brazilian help you out. We are good people 🇧🇷❤️
I wish you a Speedy recovery, Noraly. 🙏
Yes. Huge props to Tatiana for helping out. Get well soon Noraly!
Well, as she didn't go through Brazil, at least one Brazilian can participate in this journey.
OFCOURSE YOU ARE GOOD PEOPLE ! ❤ 🇬🇷
She seems like a total sweetheart! Maybe she will do a video series on her adventures while learning to fly? I'd watch it.
Primeiro vídeo com mais de 1 comentário de brasileiros que vejo!
"if you want to have epic battles, you're going to have some battle scars" That's an excellent mindset to have!
Oh my gosh, the visit to the supermarket was hilarious! Noraly and her new friend are a hoot together, like a comedy team! I have a feeling they'll keep in touch.
Thank you Tatiana for taking care of our Noraly, it was very kind of you ❤️
NOOOOO! Well from the intro it doesn't look horrible. From the Instagram post I was worried it was much worse. Rest well and get better soon!
I've had my best adventures this way - when I slipped and fractured my wrist while climbing down a mountain in Morocco a family took me in for a month. Got caught in fighting in Pakistan and was rescued and taken in by a family, ended up at a wedding. The good helpful people come to help.
I wanna hear more!!!
@@mandingocalderwood900 me too!
Brazilians always charismatic comrades and always like to welcome .... Brazilians always happy .....proud to be Brazilian.....
helps to know Spanish
its Bad Karma to push your luck--- the results is the Universe telling you to change your ways....or the next time might be the end.
@@alexandershatzko8748 She just fell over on a hill climb and sprained her ankle, it's really not that dramatic or a reason to stop traveling
Itchy boots was wearing the wrong boots..
Glad your spill wasn’t worse, Noraly.
Very smart of you to wear quality protective gear - makes all the difference.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
So right! ‘ATGATT’ Imagine what would have happened to the Harley rider in his shorts and T shirt 🙈
@@reinmansmith I shudder at the thought of it.
The aviation community is much like the motorcycle community, both are readily willing to help a brother or sister out! You’re in good company Noraly!
When you suddenly switch to Dutch, that's when you know you're really worried. And then even apologising to us for taking your time to turn around after getting injured... The fact that this 'only' happened after 3.5 years of traveling around the world is testimony to your fierceness. Hope you recover quickly, Ly!!
I love you quote: "if you want to have epic battles, you're going to have some battle scars". That's understanding the risks, keeping a positive mental attitude, and accepting your situation. I'm definitely using that in the future! 👍🏻🔥❤️
That would make a great t shirt.
The casinos are the best places to eat. Great prices and good food.
The deserts in the U.S. are a dangerous
Damn, Itch! That's a bummer.Glad you got down that hill and back to town without too much trouble.
BTW you have more than one friend in the US; probably close to half a million at this point.
Speedy recovery!
So True, Mad Trout !
she could conquered the steep hill if not because the baggages she carried
High time you had a rest - even if fate had to force it on you! Feet up, relax, cool drinks in the shade, don't rush the healing or it won't heal properly!!! Loads of best wishes from all of us Itchy Boots junkies!
@@justinsmith4562 , yes, but it has affected her ability to ride where she wants. ( sigh )
The kindness of strangers is the one of the best things about travel. Enjoy the unexpected delay, Noraly, as best as you can.
So sorry that you and Alaska are injured 😥 The lady from Brazil was so sweet to get you to the doctor and take you grocery shopping 👍😃. I hope that you have healed well ❤️🙏🇺🇸
Greetings from Pennsylvania! Oh Normally, my heart was in my throat when you went down. So glad you're ok! You've got bunches of friends here in Pa! Your videos are always a highlight of my day. As many others have said, give it the time you need. we'll be hear when you are on the road again. Wish you could see all the beautiful states here. Today I am 70 years old and still bopping around on my Vespa LX150. You have been such an inspiration. Love ya. Heal quickly
Pennsylvania is with Noraly 👍👍👍
Pa for Noraly!
Ya, I'm from PA too.
@@poppawheelie2 yeah 👍👍👍
Happy Birthday 🎉🎉🎉
The motorcycle community is always willing to help, stay safe y'all
First...I'm glad you're not severely hurt. Second, congratulations to REV'IT for making awesome gear! Noraly went down at high speed on a very steep hill and rocky terrain and only sprained her ankle when the bike came down on it. No other marks. Glad you were wearing it in that awesome heat.
Itchy Boots. Phenomenal, person, adventure, cinematographer, geologist, enduro, Ducati super sport pilot (Dutch police biker) 🙂 The accolades are endless. As I am sixty year old biker, with amongst other ex MC courier experinance London based. Have so enjoyed your spirit and with respect , watched you develop your ridding skills !!! Simply stunning. You are an amazing ambassador to to entire biking community. There is only one negative.... The law of averages. The way you took on the Kalahari rally was beyond belief, but since you obviously saw the "red mist" or BRAP ! ... it was only a matter of time before you take a nasty off. We as in family, and fellow followers are just so wishing you a strong recovery. Please Noraly, Take it easy with your friend, and allow full recovery
One more Brazilian over here, Noraly. Good to know that Tatiana was able to help you a little, and that she proudly represented my country in such a positive way. Hope you and Alaska get better soon 🙂
What is it with you Brazilians. Your the best people.!!!!!
Tatiana sure was a real sweetheart...... sure nice to know there's some great people out there! The airlines in the USA are so short of pilots, I'm sure she'll make an excellent one.
@@slavicslavman Hey, that's so nice to hear! Thank you so much, in behalf of all Brazilians 🙂
I am so thankful that you were able to get back to a hotel and a doctor. Traveling through the desert alone offers the freedom and flexibility you desire, but it also has a fair amount of risk. I know that there are viewers that watch over you with their prayers and so we see this as an answer to our prayers for your well being.
Dear young lady, you have more than one friend in this country! Your sense of exploring and adventure is overwhelming, and reminds me of my youth!
You are so kind that you didn’t even cuss out your bike. If I fell off, I can only imagine what would have come out of my mouth
So glad you weren't seriously injured and that you have a friend coming to Alaska and your rescue. Heal quickly!
Trying to write my feelings on your mishap. First I’m so glad that someone is coming to get you. It could have been worse out there where you fell. Getting Alaska turned around before that injury made it impossible was fortunate. It could have been worse. Please heal fast, take your meds. Kick back for awhile, a Zillion people love and care for you. I hate it that you got hurt! Ice the heck out of that ankle!
As a ‘semi-experienced rider’ I was taught when I was taking a course to obtain my bike license that it is imperative to wear protective gear, even though it’s uncomfortable because of the heat. All should know that you have saved yourself from more painful and serious injuries because you’re always wearing the essentials. (E.G. road burns etc) I’m SO GLAD that you’re not seriously injured because you’re such a wonderful videographer AND rider and an inspiration to so many of your subscribers. BEST OF LUCK when you continue !
real enduro boots would make the difference. And the real good ones are comfortabe (ok , not to walk with it ;) )
ATGATT (all the gear all the time)
@@babar69110 if you can't twist your ankle, you can risk more serious injuries in your knee though. I wear adventure boots and they're really comfy apart from really hot weather
@@Dbdilly don t tell me how to crash :) if you think your ankle rotating will prevent your knee, I agree... You will have maybe a good knee but a tornd ankle... :( My Enduro boots saved my feet so many times that I even use them on road.... But it means not riding feet positioned like duck. Reverted angle inside frame... First thing told in Enduro riding mm .
Over preparing for a crash is a mistake, you should be more focused on not crashing. I motorcycle crash will break an ankle, boot or not boot. The forces are too great....The bike weighs over 300 lbs. A boot isn't going to save your foot. She was lucky. Its more important to put your energy into studying riding techniques from professionals, like any thing else. Pro racers dont' crash as much as you might think. Its the adventure riders that are crashing all over the place in highly predictable scenarios. I personally remove protective gear when its too hot, to stay cool, so I can concentrate, and not pass out. Its that kind of thinking that helps. Wearing orange so other drivers can see you is good, but some drivers aren't looking.....You get my drift. Crash less. Try not to crash at all, ever.
Hallo Noraly,
Alles van die beste & spesiale groete uit New Zealand. Love & Hugs.
Glad that you fine, ankle is not broken.
Get well soon.
Glad you're mostly OK, and with your U.S. friend. Know that you've got thousands of other U.S. friends watching your journey.
She's making more friends everyday ! Everywhere she goes !
Noraly I’m glad you’re OK, it’s so interesting how as a rule, we can ask for help and support from strangers and at the appropriate time, they show up. I think this has a lot to do with your reflection, as an incredible human being, love of life, your attitude, and how you create, and make things happen for yourself. Get well, take the time, and allow yourself to be cared for, and supported. 🙏🏼❤️
In my 50 years of riding I learned that it is not a matter of if you are going to drop your bike and get injured but a matter of when. I am glad you were not injured severly.
Hey Noraly, we are sisters in crime.
I hurt my left ankle too, two weeks ago, going on the TET in Bosnia.
Feel with you. Get better soon.
Best wishes from Germany - ride on💪
Yikes!!! Sorry Noraly you got hurt. You have many of us that could have provided you with help but glad that you know someone 684 km away. Thanks to Tatiana for taking you to the doc and grocery store. So Noraly, you now need to rest and take a break and let the ankle heal. Don't rush out with a bad ankle. If you need anymore assistance, please shout out on Instagram. We will come running.
Just for fun, I’m guessing it’s William Gloege, Africa Twin RTW dude.
Danger of been a lone rider. Always thought you are so brave going into the wilderness alone. Now you just proved how brave and calm you really are.
Well done you ,glad it's not serious.
You will be back in the saddle Pronto.
Thanks Tatiana you're a hero
Tatiana to the rescue! So glad you found a friend with an adventurous spirit like yours to sort you out. Hope all is well with Alaska too. Take good care and get better!
Itchy Boots. Get well soon. You have a lot friends in USA and around the world.
Noraly, I pray you feel better soon. Just so you know, you may only know one person here in the US, but you have many friends here that would be glad to help you.
If ever the time for help is needed, We are not too far away !
I raced (MotoCross, Flat track, scrambles ) in my youth. I now have scars and metallic parts to support wounded parts, and there is no medical reason to remove most of the metallic parts. I quit after a relatively serious fall and went on to do other things. Maybe 15 years after I quit racing, I got back on street bikes and had excellent week long trips with some collage friends. 7 years ago I sold my last bike (BMW 800cc vertical twin) because reflexes start to fade and you may not know it... I stumbled on your excellent guide to a better life with motorcycles. I love it! I would get nervous at the speed you were driving, but I after looking at more of your adventures I believe the speed was added in the editing. The drone shots with you riding by yourself, - perhaps the view was 50 miles in every direction and the only thing moving was you, and a instrumental background that demonstrated your good taste in life and video. You are a very skilled person in many ways and if y ou were a corporation, I would love to buy some stock. You are making the world a better place. Thank you.
Larry Lynch - maybe speed was added - but the super wide angle does make things whiz by faster. Hope your metal parts dont ache too much
You have thousands of friends here in the USA. We watch every video you put up and we're amazed at your bravery of traveling alone. I've followed your video's from the very beginning and bought a motorcycle just because of you and ride around wishing I was a world traveler like you. You're such an inspiration for younger people to get out and do something and see the world. We all wish you well and if possible would do anything to help you get better. Take care of yourself and we will look forward to your next video. We're so glad that girl was so nice to you when you really needed the help.
And canada
And Australia
And the only person who helped her was a brasilian girl👏.
And Denmark.
Groningen, the Netherlands too!
Oh Noraly!
I'm watching with bruised ribs and empathy here on my couch, having had a right-of-way disagreement with two deer on a two-track while on my Wee Strom 700 miles and five days ago. I'm glad you consistently "dress for the fall, not just the ride." My best wishes to you. Heal completely and quickly.
BTW, you have more than just one friend in America. You simply haven't met the rest of us yet. ❤
We're here if she needs us !
It's what I was always taught. Dress for the slide not the ride.
Damn those 🦌. And they are stubborn. Always gotta be right. The arrogance of them is unbelievably rude. I had a right of way discussion with a trash panda 🐼. (Racoon) and just to prove his point he was a real smart ass and threw his body into my car and put a hole in my radiator the size of a baseball just so he could make a point. Last words we had was a serious mean look at me while he stood in shock. He tried to come at me so I left. Cost me $300. Little jerk. Sorry for your ribs. That's some painful stuff.
Hi Norley you hit very hard on the rock ,I know how painful it is ,I hope that not to much injury if it is muscle tear then it will take time dear yes you have done right by keeping ice on it.Grate way of friendship with sweet young lady , But from now on keep some medicen small kit,may be you must be having but you are Brave lady before your fall you realised that it is going to be some problem and you were aware of it but that would happened just you thought .
"Brave Always Show their Game on Battelfield"
GET WELL SOON &STEADY
I've been riding for many, many years and one thing I've learned is to follow Doctor's orders completely. Once we suffer an injury, we rarely recover to 100%. I have also discovered that we may recover to 90% or even 95%, but never to 100%. So be very careful out in the wild, and mother nature can be wild! Also, welcome to the western deserts of the USA. It's beautiful out there! Take time to recover, and Good Luck!
This was the first episode that i saw, & I was hooked to follow to see how you got on. Then I decided to go back to episode 1tso watch the entire voyage up to now. After I finish then Alaska trip, I'll go back & watch ALL the previous seasons. I salute you !! I'm 73 & still ride - although not off-road. Your videos, drone -shots & charming personality have me hooked! Ride on Miss Boots !!
I've been trail riding for 55 years and that was a proper get off. In true Itchy fashion she laughed about it and the concern was when can I ride again and how's my bike. Well played.
Noraly, I hope you are feeling much better now and enjoying your adventure! It was so unfortunate that you had the mishap while riding in such a beautiful area. Very nice of the lady to help you to the Drs office and grocery shopping! I can’t wait for your next episode! Take care of yourself!
Rest, relax and recover. Alaska isn’t going anywhere. ❤️
This is what I love about motorcycles - just reading all these comments - there's a brotherhood that is watching after you Noraly. Have a quick recovery 🙏🏻. From another fellow rider in Texas.
That is good to hear no broken bones. Yes, rest your ankle. Wishing you a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing you back on Alaska. Take it easy. 😊
I always worry for you out in the wilderness by yourself, but at the same time I understand why you do it. I am glad you are safe and you got medical care. My family loves to watch you. ❤️
This was the very first episode, I wasn't hopeful looking ahead to watch. But glad to see in the intro, that you were still were smiling and making jokes.😘
Since I knew it was coming I was wincing until the fall. But Noraly has got to be one of the most positive and bright people ever. That’s probably why she has so many followers on TH-cam. We all need that positive influence and that friend who likes adventure. Even if we experience it vicariously. Love her content! Best wishes to her and a speedy recovery! Thank you
I'm Brazilian and I'm so proud you've stumbled upon one of us bc we're a friendly and helpful people.
You're ok I guess 😏.
It's true, I love Brazilians!
Ya, but she was giving off vibes of being a bad pilot.
"Why do we fall? So that we can get up again." - Thomas Wayne... Hopefully a quick recovery for you Ms. Noraly... Get well soon and keep on riding!
one thing ive noticed that would really really help you. try to ride faster. up hills, through mud holes. the reason its so much better to have more speed is the faster you go the more centrifical force your wheels have and the more forces you have keeping you and your bike up right. I know it sounds like the opposite of what makes sense but im telling you if theres one of the most important things ive learned in 25 years of riding dirt bikes/adventure bikes is the faster you can go over tough terrain (within reason) the better chance you have of keeping it upright. regardless you are one tough cookie and I have no doubt you will overcome this no problem!!
Hard to see you go down like that in such a remote place alone. I used to ride in the desert alone quite a bit myself but after a few close calls on bad crashes, I always go with someone else now. I am so glad you are OK. Hope you get better soon and back in the saddle. Too bad some of the people out west can't accompany you on some of the more remote and challenging routes. There is SO much awesome riding out there but it is best done with a companion. Godspeed Noraly.
Have to agree, I never go alone anymore when I'm off roading
She alone has already traveled the entire globe and are you giving her valuable advice here?))
@@Vahlakable Do you know she is NOT the only one that has done that? There´s plenty of people with a lot of experience, Noraly is just fantastic sharing her adventures with us through social media.
@@Vahlakable Will all due respect, there aren't too many places as remote and deadly hot as the American southwest in late July. People can and do die from exposure within hours without shade or hydration in this climate. I have travelled these areas extensively and I personally know ex special forces guys who almost died on routine trips through some of these backroads. Some of these roads only see a handful of people each week on them this time of year, if at all. If you cannot self rescue or are incapacitated and unable to call for help, assuming it could get to you in time, yes, it is a mortal danger. Every year tourists coming from Las Vegas die in southern Utah and Arizona. I read a book once called Death in the Grand Canyon and it would amaze you how even the smallest mistake can be fatal in these unforgiving environments. There isn't much you can do to prepare for the elements either, and in my experience having a companion through some of these remote and seldom travelled areas can be the difference between life and death. Just my two cents and I do know what I am talking about.
it was a real steep climb with loose rock and gravel. it may cause lost of traction of the wheel tyre to the track surface and may cause our bike not easy to control and out of balance. we have to open the throtle to gain power to maintain speed momentum in this steep climb which in turn may cause the front wheel off the ground surface. in addition the Noraly's bike burdened such maybe about 30 kg of luggage at the back. all those conditions contribute to make the crash happened. not as simple as that to tackle.
deflate the air pressure in wheel tyre maybe can help a bit to gain traction & to get better control on bike balance on these steep loose surface.
an all wheel drive dirtbike maybe ideal for this condition, that may not need big effort to pass this steep climb.
Of all the places to get hurt and have to see a doctor, you choose the US the most expensive health care arghhh but I’m so glad you found a friend, Tatiana, to help you xo
Noraly you nailed it, epic adventures come with epic scars. It was going to happen at some point, the motorcycle law of averages. Whats most important is you are ok and in good spirits. Second most important is you always dress for the fall, this helped a lot especially with your left elbow! I cant see if you hit your head hard, but I would ask Arai to get a new lid to you in case. Hope Alaska wasn't too badly damaged and of course we are relieved it happened without other vehicles involved and you were still able to continue. Hoping for your speedy recovery, I know exactly how it feels after years of crashing! Speedy recovery legend!
Yea definitely consider new helmet. Best wishes for a speedy recovery!
Man, I learn so much from you everyday. How can you stay so calm and happy and cheerful in difficult situations. Most people would be swearing and angry. Now whenever I am in a bad situation, I always think what would Noraly do. Haha
That was really a hard hit and you just stood up, explained what happened, turned the bike around and continued the ride. Respect!!! Hope your ankle is good again.
remeber She is a motobiker, not a footballplayer
Adrenaline.. I think she can't even feel all the pain until she arrived to the hotel and rested.
@@pearvar77 That's right but you can see it in her face.
I'm so happy it wasn't more serious and that you found people that are helping you!! My thanks to Tatiana for being a friend in need!!❤ Onward!

Believe it or not Noraly, you have lots of “friends” in the US, you just don’t know us yet. Take good care, take a proper break and don’t ride again too soon!

I think I can speak for many viewers who over time have worried about you ending up injured . You know we dont want this to happen but the law of averages states it had to happen one day. Although you seem hurt but you have survived . You have taken tumbles before .At least you got back on . Take care
How cool is that. These ladies have fun with that broken leg. But foremost it proves that you meet nice peolpe all over who help you out!
It's amazing the thousands of kilometers that you have travelled and never had a serious injury. The bright side to your misfortune ( if there is a bright side ) is you have MANY followers that would help you in the " Noraly Network". Tatiana was a guardian angel sent to help you.
Sending you good vibes and prayers on a speedy recovery.
Ankle injuries are a nagging type of thing that seems to take a while to get over. I'm glad you use good riding gear to help protect your self. Your boots did their job. Who would have thought a gal from the Netherlands and a gal from Brazil, would meet in small town USA, but then what's new with Noraly's world travels. 👍👍
European girl and South American girl meeting in little Overton NV. With two different, important plans. Only in America !
You dress yourself, as motorbikers should, for the ride and the slide!👍
Get well soon!! Greetings from🇨🇭
Hate that you hurt yourself. Something we learned climbing the hills in the Mojave and around the Sierra Nevada on the state line between Nevada and Cali. We found it useful to drag our feet and open the throttle up in first or second gear. The bikes would get squirrely, but the foot drag and leg power were enough to keep the bike from falling over or slipping out from underneath. Note, we even did this with a box full of firewood on the back of the motorcycle. I didn't look closely at your boots, but I think they can do it. Obviously, you'd have to avoid running over your foot again. If you're planning for it, keeping the legs out and away is pretty easy. Also, it makes it easier to lay the bike down if you need to. Odds are you'll run into this again. It's what makes riding fun in California and Nevada. Honest, it is fun, sucks this time, though. Hope your foot and motorcycle heal quick.
When I saw your Facebook post yesterday I was really worried you had broken your arm or leg. While a sprain is still a significant injury, I’m happy to hear it’s not more significant. Here’s to quick healing.
Hope youn heal quickly Noraly. Love the knack you have of finding great people who care for you wherever you go. Tatiana, I salute you.
One thing is for sure, Tatiana will have about 1 million people who will be willing to sub to her channel when she starts up a channel for flying.
I can only imagine how much your ankle must have been hurting when you had to pick the bike up and turn it around. All our love for a speedy recovery. We need you back doing what you do best!!!!
So sorry you hurt yourself. I'm in Texas and it's been over 100f for the whole of the summer. The heat is no joke
Great, unintentional endorsement for "all gear, all the time" - the injuries from that getoff could have been much worse without proper protective equipment, including the boots that likely saved you from a cracked or broken ankle. The way you fell I was worried you had broken a rib too! Thanks for taking us the places you do, despite the challenging conditions. I think that Rally Raid suspension is getting your over the rougher patches with more security than formerly, but of course there is always something that will decide to bite you. Get well and be safe - more than a million pairs of eyes are watching out for you!
You are so right about all the gear. As someone who has come off my bike and broken many bones without adequate padding, I can attest to that.
Revit Expedition boots have great ankle protection. Imaging the injury without those.
Get well soon and full marks to Tatiana for helping you out
Noraly. Only yesterday I was watching you going fast in the desert, and saying to myself "don't hurt yourself".... and now you did it. 😥 Noooooooooooo.
So sorry that happened. Sending Well Wishes to you for a speedy recovery.
🤞🙏👊👊👋
Even though you're wearing motorcycle boots, you still get hurt. Wishing you a speedy recovery! Subscribers from South Korea!
Happy to hear that at least you didn't break any bones. I love your positive attitude, even when you have setbacks like this. By the way, you have many many friends in the US, you just haven't met them in person yet. You have a huge fan base here, me included (too bad I am on the East Coast). I am positive that whatever you need, people will help you.
Wherever Noraly goes in the US, There will be people around, if needed, to help her out. We all love what she's doing. Close by, in the Palm Springs area.
ATGATT...
All the gear, all the time
Dear Noraly, I am here wishing you a very speedy recovery, get plenty of rest, stay off that foot and like Tatiana said, a couple of margaritas.😁😁 Tatiana, se você chegar a ler meu comentário, MUITÍSSIMO OBRIGADO por ajudar nossa rainha Itchy Boots, você foi simplesmente a heroína do dia e te desejo também muito boa sorte em obtendo o seu brevê. Valeu, beijo no coração 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Well done tatiana. 👏
Be well soon Noraly, We all care for you so very much!
Rule of thumb when bike stall at steep path. To prevent it from slipping downward. Apply/Locking rear brake, If handle bar is at uphill. Conversely, apply front brake, if handle bar is at downhill. Always watch out for tendency of front wheel slip off on loose sand, rocks while cornering. At the same time, try not to avoid jamming front brake, but slow down and apply rear brake. Stay safe and enjoy riding..
Loved the "If you want to fight epic battles you might get epic scars" comment. Sorry about the fall, but it looks like you fall way less than Charlie and Soy Tribu. Have a good rest up. Get Alaska seen to and we will look forward to your continuing adventures.
A good technique for turning around on a steep difficult hill is to leave the bike on its side (or push it over), then just drag the rear wheel around to where the kickstand is downhill and you’re across the slope. Pick it up, and you’re pointed where you need to be. It’s a lot less work than muscling the bike through a 15-point turn.
She probably didn’t want to drag her bike like that though through the dirt and large rocks because she loves it so much and tries to take as good care of it as possible.
@@James_Edward59 That’s pretty patronizing. They’re adventure bikes for a reason, and what I described is a pretty standard technique, though not everyone knows it. Anyone afraid to drop their bike has no business leaving the pavement. Edit: word choice.
@@DessertRat though you are correct with the technique you stated, there is no need to be so hostile.
@@Iron-and-strings No need to patronize a tough adventure rider, either, or suggest it’s cool to risk further injury doing a multi-point turn on steep rocky terrain just to avoid a potential scratch or two on a bike purpose made to be used hard. But here we are. All dude had to do was not be contrary on a subject he clearly knows nothing about.
Noraly; so sorry over your crashing! Please do take care and stay safe and heathy. I am recovering from open-heart surgery and enjoying your videos. God Bless YOU!!
Hey Mister! This from stent lady in GA who also loves the adventurous spirit! Take care and get better soon!
In the US, there is ALWAYS pizza places that deliver. And in most places, Chinese restaurants usually also deliver.
Hello Tatiana, welcome to the wonderful world of Noraly, thank you for stepping in to help out. Gonna be a pilot eh? That's proper cool 🙂
As for you Noraly, take it easy, rest that ankle, and don't go trying to get going too soon (ie before your ankle has had time to get better).
Oh and better now when you're in a nice warm place than later when you're up north in the cold.

@@trailerparksupervisor7046 Even if true I'm fairly sure you're not getting to see that video.
I don't care either way, as long as they're happy.
You take a big risk every day.
Part of the reason people respect and and admire what you do.
Keep fighting 💪
She's doing things that most of us would never do solo travel around the world and most of us would take the normal Highway she's cutting through deserts and other things that could potentially hurt her due to the hot heat or her breaking down
Glad to see the big Noraly smile after an injury.
Hope recovery is swift.
Noraly you have hundreds of friends here in the states. You just haven’t met us yet. Please take care of yourself and keep us updated.
Sooooo glad you did not break anything (body part). Take all the time you need to recuperate🙏🙏
We will be here when you get back on road. Best Wishes for full recovery! Prayers... 💖💖🏍🤠
Quick recovery Noraly. I love your content...❤️❤️❤️Bless Tatiana for being helpful... Much love from Kenya 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
Rock On ! African Tigress ! Greetings from the Palm Springs Area !
Vipi am her fan too from Kenya
@@francismuia8020 Let's hope for a speedy recovery ! Noraly was briefly riding near where I live. I would of loved to have met her! Greetings Frances from Desert Hot Springs, CA.
From a guy with 52 years of riding under his belt, you are doing very well, this is a mere hiccup. Good riding gear is hot and heavy but comes in handy when you take a soil sample! I savor your video reports like good food, and will wait impatiently for you to heal.👍
Noraly, my girlfriend and I, are watching you everyday, more than Netflix. Lol. Love your Avententures, stay strong and safe.
