Honestly I've learnt more about Africa from Itchy Boots (and Hardest Geezer) than from any news network. They show the reality of everyday life, the hardships but also the joys. How people are innately good and helpful. I would never have imagined being enthralled by footage of someone waiting in line at a gas station. So thank you for changing perceptions simply by allowing people to see day to day life across this magnificent continent.

Hay Noraly just to give you a small but of Advice your bike was submerged in water you need to take your seat off and go pull every Fuse out of the fuse box and dry them as they will corrode very fast and may cause them to blow on you leaving you stranded . Make sure you dry the fuses and blow into the fusebox to get asmuch moisture out and your water in the tank don't let your tank get to low or it will suck all that water in and you will have a helish time trying to get it out of the combustion chamber . Get your tank down to quater way and pull the fuel lines and drain it or siphon it all out and put fresh fuel in from your fuel bag Stay safe and I have been waiting for this episode

Congo looked nice. No road blocks. Decent roads. Thanks for showing us.

I keep writing the same comment about Norali, but I'm just amazed about the fact that she's such a trooper. She goes in the middle of knowhere, buys whatever food she founds, and eats the damn thing without flinching. I'm African and live in Africa and even I don't do that! That woman is a warrior!

I was describing your latest adventure to my grown boys. I told them how I love your tenacity, your courage, your bravery, your resourcefulness, your kindness, your smile, your playfulness, your positive attitude. You are a woman for all times! Continue inspiring us Noraly. You make our world a better place❤

Never thought I"d see the day Noraly would appreciate 1300 km of tarmac. But ahhhh, the break from chaos was so well deserved. I think Alaska was ok with it too!

Africa is an incredibly beautiful land. So much diversity in landscapes. I love this journey.

Noraly, you are a brave biker showing us the beauty and simplicity of Congo and other parts of Africa. Best wishes.

Noraly- I have seen EVERY episode you have ever made- clear back to S1 Ep1. This episode is your all time best! You editing skills rival famous Hollywood film studios! You are an AMAZING woman with many abilities! We all love you!

Hey Noraly. You can add isopropyl alcohol 70% or higher to your gas to remove water. Water mixes with the alcohol and allows it be burned during combustion. Love your channel. I can't ride anymore. Had a bad motorcycle accident. Broke my back and a few other limbs. Had to learn to walk again. But watching you ride brings me joy. I miss riding my bike. Be safe out there...😊

Hello Noraly, It has been years since I started following your travels, and I must say, I'm absolutely captivated by your adventurous spirit and passion for exploration. Your content is invaluable to me; through your videos, I'm transported to places around the globe that I may never have the chance to visit myself. Your dedication and fearlessness are truly admirable, and I want to express my heartfelt admiration for your incredible work. Above all, your courage, passion, determination, politeness, and professionalism are truly remarkable. You are an inspiration to many, and I applaud you for your extraordinary achievements. Kudos to you!"/Gemunu

The Congo is so beautiful!

Such a wonderful adventure with you, the producer, director, camera person and narrator. I find nothing on traditional media that competes with what you give us over and over again.

Your exploits show that problems are simply another element of adventure. They crop up here and there, and no mater how dire they seem at the moment, a solution is always in the waiting. Each solution builds confidence and pride, and increases the reward! Great lesson!

This lady is a woman of steel. She is really guided by Angels and the Ancestors. Her optimism and positive attitude is so infectionsBRAVO DUTCH GIRL😊

Congo is really beautiful country. They have good roads as well. Thank Noraly, for opening our eyes about our beautiful continent.

As we have all said before, you are really traveling with Angels. There is always help along the way. Thanks Noraly... You are blessed😇🙏🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

Noraly, thanks. I live in the Southern most tip of Africa. Thanks for showing the World the real living, loving heart of Africa. The one without politics. I sometimes have tears in my eyes seeing the deep kindess of ordinary people. Thank you.

There are many people making these videos but Noraly is the best. I love her videos. She is very charismatic and my respects for how she drives the motorcycle. God keep her always.

In nineteen century man Polish man, Kazimierz Nowak traveled in Africa on bicycle, 40 000 km. Crossed river, mountains, using all transportation what was there but most of was his bicycle. Find his story on google, another forgotten modest my country man. Bravo tor great lady Noraly. God bless and save you !😀🥰❤❤‍🩹

For what you eat, sweat, worry and exercise with Alaska you should weigh 10 kilos. You are such a brave and interesting person. I admire and envy you. I am 79 years old grandmother, I live in a comfortable apartment in Santiago de Chile. I enjoy very much my travels with you!!! Thank you very much for taking me along with you!!❤❤❤❤

Wonderful to see some smooth riding on asphalt roads after a long time with Alaska touching even 114 kmph. The gruel and the beating that Alaska went through over 60,000 km is a testimony to Honda quality. But above all it is the grit and determination of the iron lady that is simply unbelievable and a delight to watch!

Bravest lady on You Tube. Wow you are amazing. Thanks for sharing your adventure.

Noraly, I started googling places that you have traveled and learnt a lot more from you about South American and African geography than 6 years of middle and high school. Thank you and stay safe.

Congratulations Alaska & Noraly, 60,000kms together and still going strong! A remarkable duo, notwithstanding the real beatings you've both taken en route. This is the BEST travel vlog online!!

The best message we see on Noraly trips is how complete random strangers at times help Noraly to fix her problems along the journey. Shows that there are a lot of great compassionate humans out there. We are seeing on social media at times bad things but this video series always uplifts me to think there are super great people worldwide. Noraly provides all of us with hope and shows we must be kind to each other

Thank you Noraly.. you are so sweet and wise. Seeing all of this beautiful country is an education unattainable to me in any other way. I am an 85 year old mother of two lovely women, four grandchildren and four great grandchildren. I truly thank you for all the beautiful photography and people I meet through you. May God keep you safe in every way! Sandra Sherritt, Southern California!

I am impressed by your riding skills. You are riding a (relatively) underpowered bike, with a heavy cargo load, over rough, muddy roads. The fact that you keep it upright like you do is a testament to your skill.

I would ensure you get the oil changed as fast as possible, water in the tank is fine as it clearly isnt enough to hydrolock the engine. But water can find its way into the oil through multiple spots, and that will cause a lot of long-term problems with your connecting rod bearings. Also check every fuse and electrical connection for stagnant water and clean corrosiion off of them with a metal brush.

I'm from the Republic of Congo, currently residing in Namibia. I eagerly awaited this episode to see my country through your travel adventure. Thank you, Noraly, for showcasing my country once again! Your determination to ride 1300 kilometers through the Republic of Congo despite challenges like unpredictable weather and motorcycle mishaps is truly commendable. Your resilience in the face of adversity reflects the adventurous spirit of our nation, where individuals like you embrace challenges with courage and perseverance. Despite setbacks, your journey symbolizes the indomitable nature of the Congolese people. Wishing you safe travels and smooth roads ahead as you continue to explore and discover new experiences along the way.

I don't think any of us thank you often enough , for taking us with you on these expeditions . So Thank You Noraly . From an old biker.

Hola Noraly. Admiro mucho su trabajo, su valentía y por supuesto el esfuerzo que realizas para ofrecernos tus videos. Espero se recupere pronto de sus lesiones para disfrutar plenamente de nuevas aventuras. Soy de Costa Rica. Un gran abrazo y siempre Adelante.

1300 km is a long distance! Hope you got Alaska fixed and running well. Nice to be on tar for a relaxing ride with a nice breakfast to boot! Take care and ride safe Noraly!

I'm hooked on itchy adventures. I once rode across a railroad trestle . Abandoned. No rails . Just ties. No hand rails. I would not come back across. Had to take the long way back. About 40 feet above the river. It took all I had to do it. Once. I stopped on the other side and sat down awhile. You have guts lady. A real trooper. . You can be in my foxhole anytime. .. What an attitude. IT makes my day.

Noraly thanks for showing us Congo. It's quite amazing to know that Congo have such beautiful roads in the jungle.

I enjoy the really good roads. It makes it possible to look about. After riding a bike for many years I find I am watching the dirt muddy roads and not the surrounding area. Please give us more of the paved roads . I am 83 and did a lot of riding when I was younger. Paved roads give us time to look at the surroundings of the country you are in. I do so enjoy your rides. Please keep Safe.

If resilience was a human, she is a perfect definition, if bravery is a human, she is a perfect definition. I salute her courage

Poor Old Alaska.. She'll keep on battling just like you Norally.. We all love you 💚👋

During the rain shower you stop at the gas station. visor open.....music stops (1 sec.)....visor closed again...music continues. That's some top editing! You make it exciting this way! Well done Noraly...well done!😀👍👊...love it.

Thank you Noraly for sharing this amazing continent Africa is. It is impossible not to fall in love with every country you visited there. The splendor of Mother Nature and the splendor of the African people's kindness, hospitality, resourcefulness, beauty, and strength. The parts of your videos I love the most are your interactions with the locals. What a pleasure meeting all of them through your lens. You have shown the very best from people and for that, I am so grateful!

Words that don't miss almost in every video "GOOD MORNING INTERNET " I am really really obsessed 😍 with her rides

The soundtrack you added while you were blasting through the rain at 70mph, is AMAZING !!!

You are my hero. I really like watching your videos in the evenings. May God grant you good luck, strength and good fortune.

What a brave lady, I wouldn't take that risk alone myself. What a super woman and congratulations on your escape.

Happy 60,000 kilometers Alaska, thank you for taking Noraly safely around the world and in Africa, let's go for many more kilometers of adventures

Surprised Alaska is running after her swim. Those guys were amazing. People waiting for fuel seemed so patient. The rest of us could take a lesson. Another wonderful video 😊

Noraly, your videos are the best “reality” show on the internet. Your style exudes a confidence and adventure that far exceeds anything I’ve ever seen. Please don’t ever stop!👍

Noraly not only are your videos top notch but you are the best story teller narrator ever. I have been watching some of my favorite older videos for the third time. Your hard work shows every minute of every video.

So after hundreds of episodes I finally caught up with you. What started as an interest in riding offroad, soon became a ‘feel good’ travel log, and then slowly I started to realize that my childhood hero Pippi Langkous actually bought a motorbike and was fearlessly traveling the world. Every episode I was traveling with you and sometimes holding my breath because of all the challenges you endure, but knowing that it would end well because there were so many upcoming episodes still. Since this episode I worry a little bit more, because I need to wait for your next video. What you’re doing is much more than a travel log, it’s an amazing documentary about the state of the world, the people and nature in the early 21st century. I am sure it will be an inspiration for a lot of people, not just now but for many decades to come, just like Alan Lomax did about 80 years ago by recording (musical) life on tape. Thank you for all your hard work.

I never expected to see this much of the world from the back of your bike. Nor did I know that (almost) all people, everywhere, are good people. You've shown us that. Thanks, and safe rides :-)

That's my Country ❤ Thank you for passing through and enjoy our hospitality

I love this series of your travels through Africa, I used to watch your channel long time ago but somehow lost track of your channel, now I will watch all of this trip. You are very courageous and a good motorcycle rider! I live in California USA

We have to commend Noraly on managing a tough season on the road and handling the details in the background-KZfaq thumbnail updates to her seasons, website updates, new merch, and much much more. Your dedication and hard work don't go unnoticed, and they're truly appreciated! ❤️ Keep shining, Noraly! 🌟

Alaska what a bike, she gets the bragging rights , she is the Queen in the Itchy Boots Bike universe, Basanti, Dhanno and savannah must be jealous of her, she has been through snow, Desert, Rain forest , travelled the Longest distance, survived a lot of challenging situations what an Awesome bike , enjoy your journey Noraly.

Am Namibian and i am loving you all the way. You are brave and you have a beautiful heart. Me and my Family are with you on this journey. We love you.

Noraly I was born and have lived in Africa my whole life and I am in absolute awe of your trip! You are showing us the reality of what a wild and wonderful place Africa and its people are and you bring it home in a beautiful way. Thank you!! I am rooting for you. Stay safe.

All South African team Noraly please let's gather here and show her support because she was once in our beautiful country South Africa. Myself I'm addicted with her channel since 2022 I'm learning alot from her. ❤❤❤❤❤

congrats Alaska surpassed 60,000 km & she is still on the road with water in her tank. amazing both of you👍👍👍💕

I am South African, Since the last time you travelled in SA and bought Savanah. I have never missed any of your episode up to date. I have learnt a lot and seen a lot of daily challenges African people face in their countries through your channel. I can only say I am blessed to be South African. Watching from Rustenburg SA

I’m glad you enjoyed time crossing my country the Central African Republic 🇨🇫 and its natural sceneries.

Even with all your problems from Alaska's falling into the the water and losing your table directions, you press onward through the Congo. May god or your guardian angle stay with you. 💙

So happy to see my country though the eyes of an adventurer. And for once we don’t only see the bad side of Congo 🇨🇬 but also the wild beauty! Thanks for this 🙏🏾

You are amazing. I love your beautiful journey. I stumbled across your content tonight. Just wow!! It's good to see Africa in a different light. It's beautiful there..

Best traveler Noroly. Thank you to show us Republic of the Congo.

I can see Norally's countenance beginning to light up as she exits the jungle of West and Central Africa and breaks into open country and good roads in Congo Brazaville. Nice to see you in Point Noire as you begin your descent into Southern Africa.

I know a doctor who is from Congo. He worked in the US as a physician's assistant and now has his own clinic in Belgium. He still owns a home in the US. Excellent doctor and a nice guy.

You managed to extirpate something good and positive from my country of birth, quite an achievement! MERCI NORALY

Congo Brazzaville is a hospitable country happy to see my country again through your channel ouesso-dolisie-pointe noire - cabinda (luanda) too bad you didn't go to Brazzaville congratulations and good continuation in Angola

Congo was so beautiful. The savanna was something else. Thanks Noraly for taking us along as you discover Africa.

The world truly appreciates the wonderful Noraly! Her spirit elevates.

Thank you very much for sharing, in fact these three countries mentioned brought me memories of Congo, Gabon and even in the next episode Angola, in a way it made the colonization of Brazil richer in many ways. Continue being a trailblazer and brave on your journeys... we are with you!

We as Angolans will be really pleased to receive you here... 😍🤩👏👏👏

Its fascinating to see a part of Africa that almost no westen adventurers get to; but Noraly allows us to see the fascinating contrasts this continent offers.

In the entire Africa arc Alaska has taken quite a beating but she's as strong as her owner & nothing can stop her from conquering all of Africa ❤❤ all the best ❤

Grateful to You Noraly for this spectacular journey throughout the Paradis of Africa

As an African, since I didn't get the chance to travel through Africa, I am enjoying exploring the continent through your adventures. Big like.

What a beautiful country and nice roads. I never knew Congo was like this.

I'm always checking for an update if you have posted something yet.Thats how I have become so addicted to your adventures.When you travel, we're traveling with you Noraly..Keep it going.I salute you

It must have been such a relief and pleasure to ride on smooth roads, find places to eat and even with a delay stop at real gas stations again!! I know Alaska will make it...she always takes care of Noraly! Enjoy your time at the coast and I look forward to the next episode!

You have done some amazing rides... I enjoy watching some of your adventures, challenges and great experiences with people from all over the world! 189,900+ Kilometers on my Honda VTX 1300r and none as exciting as the roads/nonroads you've traveled! Thank you for sharing!

You always are so kind tipping the people who help you great heart!!!

Much love to everyone and their families from Cedar City Utah USA! Thanks for another awesome adventure Noraly🥀🤠✌️

❤❤ wow!! Never knew THE CONGO is this beautiful! Much love from 🇰🇪. Keep up noraly. Alaska is a beast.

Well Well Well as the saying goes Lady Africa, a wonderful Valentine's journey to you. I like the cloud formations while riding with you virtually. Kudos as always. No hills or valley can stop us. Even rivers will split into halves when we get there. Love your full commitment🥰, shine lady shine.

"I can only deal with one problem at a time" great philosophy for life Norally. I think both Alaska and you need a service break.

The heroine, Norali, I follow you from Saudi Arabia, and I love your adventures, and I love Africa and its kind people🇸🇦👍

Your Edit - Music Pause & Start at Fuel Station, for the open & closure of helmet visor, OMG. That’s Brilliant. 🥰🥰🥰🔥🔥🔥

I just started watching your video on your adventurous journeys, I must say you are one brave woman, especially your Africa vlogs..

I got hook with your channel for several months now, i feel like I'm traveling with you and enjoy the scenery. It's a big WOW for a lady riding Bikes alone in countries of Africa.

You are the brave lady. Watching your videos regularly.😅

O God! Congo is heaven ❤!! Thanks for showing me

Wow the cloud formation @ 15:30 mins amazing, never seen anything like this in Australia, or other places around the globe we have visited - very special.😊

The clouds were so beautiful, what amazing skies, if you don't like the weather just wait a little, it will change.

This video meant something to me because I was born in the Belgian Congo in the last year before war of independence when my family had to flee to Europe. Thanks for giving us a glimpse of the Congo today. Noraly, ik vind het prachtig wat je allemaal doet, ik volg je al jaren vanaf het begin

Love that you don't talk for the sake of talking, When you talk you have something of interest to say, share or explain. Again, love your work. Love from downunder. P.S. That long ride on the Blacktop, great edit on that, it was amazing, green countryside, you showed it so well, and I rearly use that word. 👍

What wonderful people you meet on your travels. You have shown me more of africa than I have ever seen in my lifetime and I lived in Africa for 70 years Your videos are outstanding made by a professional Barry Thailand

Watching the adventures of Itchy Boots is one of the highlights of the week. Never miss an episode. Thank you so much!

Poor Alaska ... still suffering the effects of being dumped on the river, but the trouble for getting petro and those incredible line ups. Take a well deserved rest, Noraly. GO ITCHY BOOTS, GO ... 🏍🏍🏍

Camera with water in them - an opportunity for the maker to step forward! Pure gold publicity i.e. as Honda don’t seem to need.

I love your video. You, alaska, smile and nothing else ❤
