How “awesome” to see two huge influencers of my motorcycle TH-cam watching together for such a session. Thanks to both for setting this in motion. Cheers to you both, and be well during this crazy time.
Loved the outtakes so much! I think you see the real person in these times. Best video I’ve seen in a long time. Ps I also missed out on the neck tube scarfs so please let us all know when you might do another run.
Hey mr FlyerThoroughly enjoyed this real unpretentious down to earth video with a lovely lady, mind you is Dutch (Happy people) love my bikes with a passion not sure i would travel so far but lovely insight into this way of life! Have subscribed to you Noraly. al het beste!
I didn’t realise that if you dropped a bike, you’re not allowed to have an opinion. I didn’t realise that anybody who isn’t strictly heterosexual, isn’t allowed to do TH-cam. I didn’t realise that TH-camrs aren’t allowed to form a community and support and promote each other. Thanks for your bigoted rant. Most entertaining.
What an inspirational young woman Noraly is. Wouldn't the world be so much nicer if youngsters looked up to her instead of so called celebrities. Great interview, Andy.
Noraly is WRONG when she says her first videos were bad!! Those were the videos that got me hooked on her channel. They were honest, beautiful, exciting videos! Yes, Season 2 videos are more "polished" -- but Season 1 videos are just as exciting!
zatoichi101 I was half way season 2 and was “itching” for more so watched all of season 1. They were not as polished but rapidly became professional. Then I had enough of season 2 to move on to.
I've just gone back to season 1 to watch with my wife and sure, there's a big difference in quality and also in content in terms of what Noraly chooses to show. However, her lovely honesty and cheerful look at the world was as engaging back then as it is now. That's what keeps us watching your travels, Noraly! Thank you.
I started watching Noraly a week after she started her channel and have been hooked ever since. An amazing lady and an example to all of us as bikers and human beings. Great interview.
One more thing. What I genuinely feel is more appealing for watching the Itchy Boot vlogs is how genuine and how much humility is shown. Especially the children that come to say hi etc. Can't fake that..
Andy, I think this is THE BEST interview I've ever seen of anyone, anywhere. Noraly was thoroughly engaged and enjoying the chat, her body language was explicit, leaning in and getting closer as it progressed, laughing enthusiastically, and with completely open banter, which brought out the best of you BOTH. Congrats and DO IT AGAIN!!
Great interview thanks to you both. Noraly is doing for Royal Enfield what Charley and Ewan done for BMW. But I do prefer her travels and mode of transport.
Great interview Andy, Noraly has such an interesting story to tell. She brings out the best side of people in the country’s she visits. And engages her viewers on her travels, 2 of the best motorcycling channels in one place. Smashing it 👍
Super cool delightful hour-and-a-half with amazing Noraly. So amusing to see her bubbly enthusiasm even gives you the giggles Andrew. I wish I had known about this joint chat, I would have wanted you to compliment her on her editing skill, choice of background music, and drone footage. Remarkable and professional. She truly deserves her viewer total! What an uplifting afternoon, thank you both.
I'm so glad Noraly didn't start doing product endorsements during her videos. Yes, once your channel achieves a certain amount of popularity you start getting companies wanting to send you free stuff for endorsements or sponsoring your videos. I only mention what I genuinely use and have purchased. If one of those companies wants to send me new free gear in appreciation no strings attached that's fine. Thank you you know who you are :-)
Excellent interview thank you Andy! 👍 Noraly, your enthusiasm, self confidence and love of life brings so much joy into our lives. We look forward to seeing your documentaries in the future.
Great interview Andy, Noraly is such a lovely lady. I do admire her enthusiasm and confidence (bravery) to do what she does. Noraly is definitely an inspiration, for motorcycle travellers and simple just for life in general. Good luck in the future Noraly.
Got my itchyboots fix. Great chat, Noraly is an inspiration for a frustrated traveller like me. Hopefully we will see her back on the road again soon. Full English brekkie, TMF and itchyboots, the perfect start to my day. Take care.
Andy I loved your interview with Norlay you are such a pleasure to listen to. I have only just started watching Itchy Boots TH-cam and absolutely love it, as an old lady now but still have my bike license but don't ride any more. I would never have been as game as Norlay although I did drive by myself from Melbourne Vic Australia to Darwin back in the early 60's so I guess I have a little bit of adventure in me and thats why I love what she is doing. Look forward to more interviews you do with her thanks. Ruth
Thanks for this Andy and Noraly, two of the best. She just never stops being delightful, I hope she can resume her journey and we can all get back to something resembling normal soon.
This was so enjoyable to watch .Well done Andy for arranging it ,and Noraly for taking part . What a great way to spend some time in the evening here in NZ .
Noraly is every bit as interesting and humorous and inspiring just sitting on her couch at home and talking as she is when riding. And Andy is a wonderful interviewer. I thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you!
What a pleasant change. I have watched almost everything Noraly has put out including lots of Q and A’s but the questions you asked were new and fresh. Great film and I will start having a look at what you like doing now Andy TMF. 👍😊
"you hang up... no you hang up..." so proud of you Andy giggling like a little girl and flirting trying to hold off the innuendos. Have to say you held up far better than I would...I'd have folded when the conversation turned to Noralys muff. Thanks again for pulling off the interview, my two favourite people on utube having a laugh and enjoying being alive... cheers!!!
Catching up with the back catalogue - my two favourite bloggers in one video! - just fan-boy thanks! A really nice watch. I can’t believe I didn’t watch either (any) during lockdown, but then I was dragged out of retirement but the NHS so it was a busy time for me 🙈!
What an absolutely amazing woman Noraly is ! I don't realy know what else I could say, whatever it would never be enough, Good luck on her future travels and hope she continues to enjoy what she does and sharing with the rest of the world what she thought would be video's of content that not many would be interested in.....How wrong she was , She might me on her own most of the time but she is literally followed by millions.
I enjoy her channel and TMF's - she's just a pleasure to watch, she truly comes off as genuine, and watching her chronicle her journeys is just fantastic escapism.
This is the best interview with Noraly that I've found. The two of you have a great rapport, and she seemed very relaxed and open. Can you do another one with her when she's done with season 6? That would be awesome!
This is a "take charge woman" re: The change tire situation. She's riding along and states"I'm getting a puncture!" In the next scene, she pulls off the wheel, breaks down the tire with tire irons, If you've done this, you'll have an appreciation for that task, never a complaint or a fret from her, she adapts and overcomes.
Really? How exactly did she 'adapt and overcome' getting bailed out of Peru by Dutch taxpayers? If she was a bloke, you wouldn't even be commenting, as blokes have fixed punctures on motorcycles for decades and decades.
@@tonebonetones You may be on to something there, but you see I don't know of any guys that went solo on a bike for 60,000+ miles let alone any women. it's a feat that I would not attempt. My dual-sport days are behind me, I wasn't that good at it anyway! More to my point, there's a guy on TH-cam that is doing a similar trip and his videos are unwatchable as he continually whines and complains about his plight. She does not! The tire change episode was an example of that. As far as the flight back to the Netherlands was concerned, these are strange times and she had little choice.
@@tonebonetones "We have problems? We fix them!" is her unofficial motto. She is not unique in that respect, but it's still a joy to watch. Whining about her being bailed out by Dutch taxpayers (in which she herself had a big hand in organising btw) doesn't take anything away from that. The corona situation is hardly something you can plan for, or fix yourself if you get caught in it. As a Dutch taxpayer myself, I think bailing her, or any other fellow adventurous countryman out of a perilous situation is a much better way of spending money than a lot of other things they spend money on.
@@tonebonetones Your comment is so sad and angy :( You seem like a very frustrated person. Good luck with that. I would rather be wathing and listening to an inspired Noraly on her adventures than read comments of a sad bloke like you who ony complains about others who in the real world live a life you only dream about. Noraly is the real life warrior and explorer. You are just a keyboard warrior. My hart goes out to you. Good luck with being who you are right now.
La mejor de lo mejor, sus videos hacen viajar y olvidar lo malo que vemos a diario en este planeta, su interacción con los niños me fascinan además ver a los cachorros y gatitos que le han dado todo su amor
Another great interview, I have to own up to not being aware of Noraly or itchy boots before, probably because my focus was on bike reviews, adventure riding etc, so thank you for opening my eyes, I am sure to investigate some of her vids. That said, if there are over 100 vids in series 1, that is a lot of commitment. I have been working and living in Holland, this time since February, so can confirm that the restrictions in travel are less, which was fortunate for me while I had my CRF over here, it may be flat but we take the smaller roads to enjoy the bends and the connection with the environment, town, village or even following the waterways.
Thanks to TH-cam for making people famous from nothing to something, Thank you TH-cam for giving ordinary people the power that has only been available to extraordinary people.
What an exceptionally beautiful person, personality and stunning scenery of documented areas visited. Enjoy every moment of each series. Well done. Keep on going !!!
Hello Andy, I remember the day you mentioned Itchy Boots and never looked back, what an inspirational young lady she is, so thank you thank you for the intro, a great hour or so watching you both, a pair of you tubers , sorry Noraly, at the top of their game, I would dearly love to meet Noraly and your good self one day, I nearly went to see Noraly when she did live stream at the bike shop but things did not work out, anyway well done to both of you, ride safe and see you on the next video. Derek
Just come across this now! Wonderful interview of a particularly inspiring human being! Will be subscribing to her channel, for sure! Rally funny to see people just getting their heads round Zoom, too - something we all now take completely for granted! Good o'l Covid, eh? Great stuff, sir; and good luck Norally!
@@TheMissendenFlyerListen, you've got over 1200 videos on your channel! There's only so many hours in a day!! I'm getting through them, I promise!! (Mostly because your content is superb but also partly trying to steal tips and tricks for how to make decent YT vids!!)
Many thanks to Missendenflyer for bringing us our favorite Lady of motorcycle adventure, Noraly! So good to see you both in great spirits and healthy! Sorry to say that I missed out on the "Itchy Boots Edition"scarf but I must have one as soon as they will be available! As a motorcyclist and two wheel traveler for the past 62 years I know full well the value of a great scarf! Continued luck and safe travels to you both and your channels inspire me...…………….Bravo!
Great chat. Thanks a lot. It was really a pleasure to listen to. In fact I was LOL when Noraly mentioned her handling of not really understood questions of inhabitants. Sometimes I felt this indeed when she answered.
Noraly is absolutely right about the Five Stans of the Silk Road. I have toured there and the people are very friendly to travellers as they seldom see some and they are very curious as to why, as Westeners, we choose to travel there and they greet you, want to shake your hand, have their picture taken with them ... I was even interviewed by their national tv news when I happened to be in one of their museums.
This is my first time viewing your channel, and thank you for having Noraly, she is my biggest joy to watch. She is absolutely inspiring and brings mush joy to those of us who can only dream of doing what she does on a regular basis.
Such a level headed and also gracious person. Glad I found your channel Noraly. I always wanted to travel the world but it wasn’t in the cards for me. Thank you again for sharing your adventures. ♥️
It's reassuring that Noraly mentioned that she carries an inreach. Half the time it seems like she barely has a litre of water on her when she ventures into remote areas.
Those were a couple of great questions and and an inteview well done! I watched this in 3 sessions because I was so hooked. Helps that Noraly is just so genuinely friendly and lovely. I've been watching her channel since Oman, and I do not agree that any of her old videos were bad, she's always been good at it!
Noraly has a great channel, always amazed me what she managed to make and upload while travelling. Was genuinely worried watching her trying to get home during lockdown. Thanks for the interview, catch the rest of the interview later on the big TV.
This might be one of the very few youtube videos having more than 1hour duration, which I have watched without speeding it up or stopping it midway. Norally as always, cheerful, and filled with that positivity. Nice chat by themissendenflyer. Subscribed.
Just discovered Noraly! She's inspirational and a great woman ... If I had a second chance in life I would go round the World like she's doing! Well I guess I have to be happy with my week long trips to neighboring Sicily or Italy - as family, work and money do not permit anything else ...
Great interview, Andy! Just love Noraly's channel and admire her courage, tenacity and her bubbly personality. Hope to see her back on the road again soon...
Noraly rides with Angels watching over her. She has been helped out of the blue many times by Angels showing up when she need them . Absolutely amazing. Lots of people praying for her.
"With these headphones You look like princess Leah" ahaha, brilliant ! By the way an excellent interview (my humble opinion) and another occasion to hear Noraly speaking about her adventures, what is a release for her frustrated fans since she can't publish videos every day anymore.
Like this Mr TMF. Great interview. What a lovely lady is Noraly. No airs and graces, just a normal lady doing her thing. Great to hear some of the background of her story. I really hope she goes on to greater things, she deserves it. 👍
TheMissendenFlyer , just locked down with a bad back TMF. On deck now. I was lucky enough to get a 3 week, 5100km tour on the GS with my wife just prior to Covid. Took in the highlands regions of NSW, Victoria, then a lap around Tasmania. Spectacular & much appreciated considering our current pandemic lifestyle. Australia is doing ok & we are now moving towards the easing of restrictions, which already includes a government approval to ride again. So I have been viewing your work in the background, just didn’t want to give you too many comments to have to answer. Hope you & the family stay well. Cheers
@@russelllocke7180 Sounds good - and yes thanks all's well here, but sadly a long way from any meaningful easing here yet (not surprising with over 30,000 dead!)....
Well done, Andy! Been following Noraly since very near the beginning, her videos always leave you wanting more! Great interview, great questions from your viewers, and the out-takes were awesome! Even tho I'm laid-up, healing from a riding injury, took me a while to set aside 1.3 hrs to watch this in one setting....well worth the time!! Cheers Andy!
I was really interested in and moved by Noraly’s video on the silver mine. I’ve been viewing her earliest Season One videos, and it’s fun to see how her videography and editing skills have progressed over time. I’m sure she would be a great documentary filmmaker. On a completely different note, I have a soft spot for Ducatis as well (coincidentally also beginning with a Monster), and I think it is very telling that Noraly’s dream is to reunite with her first bike. Most of us THINK we are attached to specific bikes, but generally succumb to new bike fever (at least I always have). Noraly is clearly value and experience driven rather than stuck in consumerism mode as so many of us are. Thanks for this really fun video!
Anth David , there are many places in the US where the Himalayan will be in its element. We still have a lot of dirt roads, narrow back roads, trails, etc. have you heard of the TransAmerican Trail?
Thank you for a great interview. You did it well. I am more and mire convinced that you are a Traveler First Class. Touring. Observing. Reporting. A WATCHER!
TMF, just WOW....smashing good show. Two of the best in the business. You really pulled it off this time. Went on for more than an hour and I didn’t want it to end. Cheers 👍🏼 😎 🇺🇸
hi Nora, the universe is and will continue to be with you! many good things will come to you. you deserve it! And the universe will conspire in your favor! Thank and be happy! thanks for the interview with this great lady
Greetings from South Africa, Andy. I am a complete newby to Noraly as well as your channels with whom I have subscribed as well. I am soon to be 74 and have been riding bikes for some 60 years and still own a motorcycle. Thank you for a brilliant interview and Yes, I have watched some of your bike reviews quite some time ago, I think cars too like the 2CV Citroen?! 🤔
Great interview Andy. Thanks for setting it up. I've been following Noraly's travails from the outset. She's an inspirational character and deserving of all the plaudits and positive comments she receives. Let's hope she can resume her adventures in the not too distant future
Morning Andy, found you thru' following Nory on her videoblog travels (while we are all cocooned at home), good interview mate, I thoroughly enjoyed the vid and your relaxed style comes across well and put Noraly at ease. I'll be back for more now, keep it up son cheers, Col in the Scottish Borders.
Thank you Andy, loved every minute. I follow Norely and find myself transfixed to screen when she posts but I have to say that your channel rates high in my screen time as well. This interview has showcased another of your many talents, please do consider doing more of these interviews. In my opinion I suggest that you don't tweak, alter or change your style ...you are thoroughly entertaining , your natural vive is truly appealing .....Hey! cause it's natural! keep doing what you do how you do it! I will go to rest now feeling thoroughly entertained.
Serious point raised by that dermatologist. Noraly never seemed to wear a hat when it was hot. Exposure to the sun in these early years can unfortunately bite you back in later years. We in Australia know about these issues, having the worst melanoma record in the world.
Thanks Andy for putting your chat with Noraly together in this video, it was great fun to watch. I heard you mention her quite a while ago but never checked out her videos back then. I started watching Itchy Boots season 2 when the lockdown started and was hooked. Her attitude and great quality videos make watching a pleasure. I tend to have the same concern you showed about people with bad intentions (bandits) and being alone in some of those parts of the world but maybe that's my issue. She met so many good people along the way.
The difference between Noraly and many other female riders is the quality of the videos more like documentary. No silly stuff and feels like you are riding with her by the use of POV shots.
Thanks for the interesting interview Andy. I recently started watching Itchy Boots channel and when I saw the suggestion from TH-cam for this interview, I thought I will watch a little bit, but ended up watching the whole thing. Good work!
Two great TH-cam motorbike personalities, real entertainment listening to them chat. Thanks to you both for getting together, thanks to Andy for posting.

Thanks a mill' for coming on again Noraly - t'was great fun! ....and thanks for watching until the end!!

How “awesome” to see two huge influencers of my motorcycle TH-cam watching together for such a session. Thanks to both for setting this in motion. Cheers to you both, and be well during this crazy time.

It's darn impossible to not love this girl :) !!
I didn’t realise that if you dropped a bike, you’re not allowed to have an opinion.
I didn’t realise that anybody who isn’t strictly heterosexual, isn’t allowed to do TH-cam.
I didn’t realise that TH-camrs aren’t allowed to form a community and support and promote each other.
Thanks for your bigoted rant. Most entertaining.
To not love Noraly, you would have to be the most black-hearted Vogon on planet Earth.
Norlay " just leave " 😂
What an inspirational young woman Noraly is. Wouldn't the world be so much nicer if youngsters looked up to her instead of so called celebrities. Great interview, Andy.
You are so right!
Now there's the truth..
I force my 8 year old daughters to watch her videos--what a strong, wonderful role model for young women!
Michael Lauder young?? Sorry but 32 is not young.
@@niksanike6583 Of course it is. When you go to 'big school', you'll realise that!
This woman is the closest thing you’ll find to a real life Lara Croft. Excellent interview by the way.
Cheers Bill...
What about Rachel Lasham c90 adventures. Not that I don't love Noraly

And from a part of the world that i. And many whit me needed to see in a way we never seen before.
I find season 1 better than the followings because Noraly was an honest amateur.
I agree. I’m thinking on going back to first season when I’ll catch up
She's an inspiration
A real champion.
Such an infectious laugh
Amazing riding skills
Watching from Sydney Australia
Love her to bits
Bless up
Noraly's enthusiasm is extremely infectious. What a beautiful human being! Can't wait to see you continue on your travels.

Yeah! You got/bought your Norally yet!?

Noraly is the real life warrior and explorer. You are just a keyboard warrior. My hart goes out to you. Good luck with being who you are right now.
Yes, I wish I had her courage and strength of character. An amazing person
Iv'e watched several Itchy Boots videos and what can you say. I can't believe how she does this on her own, truly, truly very impressive!!!
La mejor de lo mejor, sus videos hacen viajar y olvidar lo malo que vemos a diario en este planeta, su interacción con los niños me fascinan además ver a los cachorros y gatitos que le han dado todo su amor
I have followed Noraly for a year or so and the lady is getting much better at off road riding at speed. She is fantastic
Another great interview, I have to own up to not being aware of Noraly or itchy boots before, probably because my focus was on bike reviews, adventure riding etc, so thank you for opening my eyes, I am sure to investigate some of her vids. That said, if there are over 100 vids in series 1, that is a lot of commitment.
I have been working and living in Holland, this time since February, so can confirm that the restrictions in travel are less, which was fortunate for me while I had my CRF over here, it may be flat but we take the smaller roads to enjoy the bends and the connection with the environment, town, village or even following the waterways.
Maaan, i admire so much to this girl. Thank you for this interview 👏👏👏
Noraly shows more of the world and its truth than any of the media the differences are huge. The world needs more Noralys . Great interview cheers
Agreed!
Agreed,John. The people she meets, seem to be polar opposites to what governments, and media, would have us believe. 👍🏻
THE most beautiful lady with a captivating smile that could light a room. Love the journeys and her personal interactions with the various people.
Thanks to TH-cam for making people famous from nothing to something, Thank you TH-cam for giving ordinary people the power that has only been available to extraordinary people.
What an exceptionally beautiful person, personality and stunning scenery of documented areas visited. Enjoy every moment of each series. Well done. Keep on going !!!
Hello Andy, I remember the day you mentioned Itchy Boots and never looked back, what an inspirational young lady she is, so thank you thank you for the intro, a great hour or so watching you both, a pair of you tubers , sorry Noraly, at the top of their game, I would dearly love to meet Noraly and your good self one day, I nearly went to see Noraly when she did live stream at the bike shop but things did not work out, anyway well done to both of you, ride safe and see you on the next video. Derek
Just come across this now! Wonderful interview of a particularly inspiring human being! Will be subscribing to her channel, for sure! Rally funny to see people just getting their heads round Zoom, too - something we all now take completely for granted! Good o'l Covid, eh? Great stuff, sir; and good luck Norally!
What kept you!!!
@@TheMissendenFlyerListen, you've got over 1200 videos on your channel! There's only so many hours in a day!! I'm getting through them, I promise!! (Mostly because your content is superb but also partly trying to steal tips and tricks for how to make decent YT vids!!)
Many thanks to Missendenflyer for bringing us our favorite Lady of motorcycle adventure, Noraly! So good to see you both in great spirits and healthy! Sorry to say that I missed out on the "Itchy Boots Edition"scarf but I must have one as soon as they will be available! As a motorcyclist and two wheel traveler for the past 62 years I know full well the value of a great scarf! Continued luck and safe travels to you both and your channels inspire me...…………….Bravo!
Great chat. Thanks a lot. It was really a pleasure to listen to. In fact I was LOL when Noraly mentioned her handling of not really understood questions of inhabitants. Sometimes I felt this indeed when she answered.
Noraly is absolutely right about the Five Stans of the Silk Road. I have toured there and the people are very friendly to travellers as they seldom see some and they are very curious as to why, as Westeners, we choose to travel there and they greet you, want to shake your hand, have their picture taken with them ... I was even interviewed by their national tv news when I happened to be in one of their museums.
What a treat to open your channel and see my absolute two favorite moto vloggers together. Thank you both very much.
18:28mn.
Her first were as great as the last one.
My favourites are when Noralie descript the geology/ history of the place.
Great personalities both of you! Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Lovely TMF lovely.........Noraly lovely too! Very good interaction and thank you for this vlog.🤓
My pleasure as usual Iain!
This is my first time viewing your channel, and thank you for having Noraly, she is my biggest joy to watch. She is absolutely inspiring and brings mush joy to those of us who can only dream of doing what she does on a regular basis.
Thank you for watching and for stopping by!
It was quiet a challenge when in high altitude . Hearing the difficult breathing and still have to get bike up or walking.
Brave, very brave.👍🤙
Such a level headed and also gracious person. Glad I found your channel Noraly. I always wanted to travel the world but it wasn’t in the cards for me. Thank you again for sharing your adventures. ♥️
Garmin inreach is definitely worth its weight in gold for a person that rides adventure motorcycles. Glad to hear that you have one Noraly.
It's reassuring that Noraly mentioned that she carries an inreach.
Half the time it seems like she barely has a litre of water on her when she ventures into remote areas.
Those were a couple of great questions and and an inteview well done! I watched this in 3 sessions because I was so hooked. Helps that Noraly is just so genuinely friendly and lovely. I've been watching her channel since Oman, and I do not agree that any of her old videos were bad, she's always been good at it!
Noraly has a great channel, always amazed me what she managed to make and upload while travelling. Was genuinely worried watching her trying to get home during lockdown. Thanks for the interview, catch the rest of the interview later on the big TV.
This might be one of the very few youtube videos having more than 1hour duration, which I have watched without speeding it up or stopping it midway.
Norally as always, cheerful, and filled with that positivity. Nice chat by themissendenflyer. Subscribed.
Welcome along!
Just discovered Noraly! She's inspirational and a great woman ... If I had a second chance in life I would go round the World like she's doing! Well I guess I have to be happy with my week long trips to neighboring Sicily or Italy - as family, work and money do not permit anything else ...
Great interview, Andy! Just love Noraly's channel and admire her courage, tenacity and her bubbly personality. Hope to see her back on the road again soon...
Noraly rides with Angels watching over her. She has been helped out of the blue many times by Angels showing up when she need them . Absolutely amazing. Lots of people praying for her.
Dont think it’s anything g to do with angels - more resourcefulness on Noraly’s part!
Enjoy both your channels! I have been following Noraly for some time.. thanks for chatting with her.. Thumbs up! Cheers!😀👍🤗🤗
"With these headphones You look like princess Leah" ahaha, brilliant !
By the way an excellent interview (my humble opinion) and another occasion to hear Noraly speaking about her adventures, what is a release for her frustrated fans since she can't publish videos every day anymore.
Can anyone tell me the make of those headphones? I cannot identify them anywhere. Great interview by the way.
Like this Mr TMF. Great interview. What a lovely lady is Noraly. No airs and graces, just a normal lady doing her thing. Great to hear some of the background of her story. I really hope she goes on to greater things, she deserves it. 👍
Had me glued to the screen the whole vid. Cheers TMF, you both know how to entertain us with interesting moto related adventures. 👍🏍😷🇦🇺
Thanks Russell - always good to hear from you...it's been a while, where have you been?
TheMissendenFlyer , just locked down with a bad back TMF. On deck now. I was lucky enough to get a 3 week, 5100km tour on the GS with my wife just prior to Covid. Took in the highlands regions of NSW, Victoria, then a lap around Tasmania. Spectacular & much appreciated considering our current pandemic lifestyle. Australia is doing ok & we are now moving towards the easing of restrictions, which already includes a government approval to ride again. So I have been viewing your work in the background, just didn’t want to give you too many comments to have to answer. Hope you & the family stay well.
Cheers
@@russelllocke7180 Sounds good - and yes thanks all's well here, but sadly a long way from any meaningful easing here yet (not surprising with over 30,000 dead!)....
Well done, Andy! Been following Noraly since very near the beginning, her videos always leave you wanting more! Great interview, great questions from your viewers, and the out-takes were awesome! Even tho I'm laid-up, healing from a riding injury, took me a while to set aside 1.3 hrs to watch this in one setting....well worth the time!! Cheers Andy!
Glad you enjoyed it Allen!
She is so so wonderful ❤️
Bloody fantastic interview guys! Thank you both for your time and effort.
I was really interested in and moved by Noraly’s video on the silver mine. I’ve been viewing her earliest Season One videos, and it’s fun to see how her videography and editing skills have progressed over time. I’m sure she would be a great documentary filmmaker. On a completely different note, I have a soft spot for Ducatis as well (coincidentally also beginning with a Monster), and I think it is very telling that Noraly’s dream is to reunite with her first bike. Most of us THINK we are attached to specific bikes, but generally succumb to new bike fever (at least I always have). Noraly is clearly value and experience driven rather than stuck in consumerism mode as so many of us are. Thanks for this really fun video!
Love hearing what time the day starts! Gives context to the full day's travels.
Great interview, she’s so spontaneous and answers the questions so fluently. What next, a Harley-Davidson tour of the US perhaps....
Anth David , there are many places in the US where the Himalayan will be in its element. We still have a lot of dirt roads, narrow back roads, trails, etc. have you heard of the TransAmerican Trail?
Thank you for a great interview. You did it well. I am more and mire convinced that you are a Traveler First Class.
Touring. Observing. Reporting.
A WATCHER!
She has great facial expressions, positiveness, an infectious laugh...and she's independent.....................!
The more frustrated she is the cuter she is i can’t help it I’m in love with her ❤
Documentary make is a perfect fit! You have everything it takes, intelligence, openness, empathy, curiosity and much more!
Noraly is so honest and sweet, such a lovely girl
TMF, just WOW....smashing good show. Two of the best in the business. You really pulled it off this time. Went on for more than an hour and I didn’t want it to end. Cheers 👍🏼 😎 🇺🇸
Cheers Bradley!
Wow wow...noraly with sound :-) nice to have you two on chat.
Let's show the pro's how it's done eh? ;0)
@@TheMissendenFlyer I get wat you guys mean by that .....😊😊😊😊😂😂
hi Nora, the universe is and will continue to be with you! many good things will come to you. you deserve it! And the universe will conspire in your favor! Thank and be happy! thanks for the interview with this great lady
The documentary question was a great question, Noraly's eyes kind of lit up a bit on that one. She would be great at it.
Greetings from South Africa, Andy. I am a complete newby to Noraly as well as your channels with whom I have subscribed as well. I am soon to be 74 and have been riding bikes for some 60 years and still own a motorcycle. Thank you for a brilliant interview and Yes, I have watched some of your bike reviews quite some time ago, I think cars too like the 2CV Citroen?! 🤔
She sure got the talent (actually she has all what it takes) to make first class documentary videos...
Great interview Andy. Thanks for setting it up. I've been following Noraly's travails from the outset. She's an inspirational character and deserving of all the plaudits and positive comments she receives. Let's hope she can resume her adventures in the not too distant future
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice to see Noraly is keeping well and great she managed to understand TMF's 100mph speech and interruptions.😉
Yes very impressive command of multiple languages!
Yeah, TMF does seem to like the sound of his own voice and the limelight.
Morning Andy, found you thru' following Nory on her videoblog travels (while we are all cocooned at home), good interview mate, I thoroughly enjoyed the vid and your relaxed style comes across well and put Noraly at ease. I'll be back for more now, keep it up son cheers, Col in the Scottish Borders.
Cheers Colin - glad you found me and you'll like the next video I post then (on Thursday!).....
Fantastic interview what a genuine person good one TMF
Thank you Richard, glad you enjoyed it...
Thank you Andy, loved every minute.
I follow Norely and find myself transfixed to screen when she posts but I have to say that your channel rates high in my screen time as well.
This interview has showcased another of your many talents, please do consider doing more of these interviews.
In my opinion I suggest that you don't tweak, alter or change your style ...you are thoroughly entertaining , your natural vive is truly appealing .....Hey! cause it's natural! keep doing what you do how you do it!
I will go to rest now feeling thoroughly entertained.
Thank you for the kind words and encouragement Seb - appreciated!
Serious point raised by that dermatologist. Noraly never seemed to wear a hat when it was hot. Exposure to the sun in these early years can unfortunately bite you back in later years. We in Australia know about these issues, having the worst melanoma record in the world.
Thanks Andy for putting your chat with Noraly together in this video, it was great fun to watch. I heard you mention her quite a while ago but never checked out her videos back then. I started watching Itchy Boots season 2 when the lockdown started and was hooked. Her attitude and great quality videos make watching a pleasure. I tend to have the same concern you showed about people with bad intentions (bandits) and being alone in some of those parts of the world but maybe that's my issue. She met so many good people along the way.
Yes I think it shows the incorrect perception we have of some of these far flung countries - all world travellers Ive met say the same!
The difference between Noraly and many other female riders is the quality of the videos more like documentary. No silly stuff and feels like you are riding with her by the use of POV shots.
Thanks for the interesting interview Andy. I recently started watching Itchy Boots channel and when I saw the suggestion from TH-cam for this interview, I thought I will watch a little bit, but ended up watching the whole thing. Good work!
Great stuff! Thank you....
What a bright, intelligent person.
Two great TH-cam motorbike personalities, real entertainment listening to them chat. Thanks to you both for getting together, thanks to Andy for posting.
