When another rider comes along and says I’ve always had respect for you but now I’ve got HUGE respect. You’ve made it in a new adventure. The ultimate compliment!! Nicely done.

When you think you can't admire Noraly any more she becomes Racyboots. What a woman ! 💪❤️🤞🙏

Let's not forget her freind Mandy, who makes time to support Noraly in this, also HUGE respect to her. Looking forward to the next weeks.

I find myself getting so emotional watching her do this. She should be extremely proud of all she has accomplished.

Engine is on, travel-mode off, drone-footage off, geology-lessons off, try-local-food off, RACE MODE ON! let'gooo... Uh, what a blast... 💪😋🤞

Noraly in race mode: Why are everyone going so slow? LOL! Go Noraly, go!

Everybody dies, but not everybody lives: Noraly, you are living as few of us ever have, or ever will. You go girl, and thank you for taking us along to share your adventures.

Someone once said that to learn to go fast you must first enjoy going slow, it develops technique, skill and a 6th sense. That's why you were able to ride so well because you've rocked those trails for a long time.

When he said that he has a HUGE respect for her. I felt it She really is someone who absolutely deserves that. ❤️❤️

Savanah, the "Little Bike that Could". All your extra training and every kilometer of your RTW travels led you to this event. GOOD ON YOU! Kind regards from Canada. 🇨🇦

That was so exciting to watch. Noraly on her used stock bike that's been ridden over half of Africa kicking ass on those million dollar buggies. Legend.

I have tremendous respect for you and you are very dear to our South African hearts.. A fan of yours once said that you're doing more for our tourism then all the tourism ads could have. You are a hero, an adventurer, an amazing rider and a stunning lady with a heart of gold. Thank you for makeing us shine.

With a pre used bike, after riding it across 4 countries and 22000 kms to a full on racing spree. Just WOW!! Got goose bumps seeing this video today... Huge huge respect for you Noraly. If u dnt deserve a standing ovation, I dnt know who does...

Honda needs to sponsor Itchy boot like serious like this amazing content / advertising, from daily use to rally without any modification.

You’ve made Itchy Boots the best KZfaq channel I have ever ever watched. I love your outlook on life and how you treat everyone not only as equal, but as the equal that they are!!! You are a true ambassador of how we should live our lives. Rock on!!!!

Really enjoyed the rally, and will watch every stage. My 81 yr old mother watches with me, and enjoyed it equally. I grew up in the Kalahari and it looks like you are riding on our farm. We know the scenery and challenges so well! So glad you're rallying there. I might add, there's no smell like the kalahari, especially when it rained, little or much. ENJOY, we're also in RACING MODE! 💚💚

I really appreciate that guy who said - 'I have huge respect for you'. We all have huge respect for you Noraly. Keep going. 🙂

Cool thing about this race, is you’ll be first in the women’s division! 😂

Wow, our little Dutch Sweetheart just ran the race of her life. I was smiling every second of the video and was cheering you on as if you were my own daughter. Well done. I've watched you around the world and now you're a desert racer!

When the girl says "That's Noraly" and she has come out to see you go by you know you are inspiring girls and young women everywhere to follow their dreams. My little sister is 64 now and she still goes backpacking and cross country skiing. I remember when she used to ride on the back of my trail bike. Love your channel.

I agree with the gentleman on the dirt bike: I also have H-U-G-E respect for You Noraly 👍👍 ! Very interesting episode this one, and I am looking forward to the next !!! Regs from Sweden/Kent

I’d say that the little Honda earned its place amongst your other bikes ! Bring her home! Leaving her behind just isn’t right. You can do it!!!!

Itchy - my husband started watching you a long time ago and turned me into a fan. You are such an inspiration for ALL women!! Today was exciting to watch and I don't know why, but it makes me very emotional to see you giving it your all and doing what NO woman has ever done!! Best of luck tomorrow for your 700km ride! Much love to you and to all the participants.

Don’t think I have ever watched a YT video while feeling so much excitement and anxiety at the same time! Go girl!

I felt like a dad watching his daughter race for the 1st time. I kept telling Noraly what way to go and what line to take. Brake , throttle, turn here, turn there, pass that fool! Miss Noraly certainly doesn't need my help. She slayed it! And so did Savanna!

It is pretty fun, seeing the difference in Noraly's riding during the race vs her normal adventure riding. You can tell she's really bombing down the trail. Great job, Noraly! Good luck with the rest of the race!

So proud, so proud. It's like my daughter doing well. What a great symbol you are for all women.

You're in the middle of the Kalahari Rally, and you still wave to folks on the road. Props, girl.

As an ex car racer I can tell you, when RACE mode kicks in.... that's it, you ain't stopping for nothin. Brilliant Noraly, what a ride!

So so proud of you Noraly , lovely touch from The rider expressing his HUGE respect for you. Amazing to watch such a great person do the things she loves, we’re all with you Itchy Boots. ✊🏻🏍❤️

You are a racer. Don't let anyone tell you different. You are also an explorer and an adventurer. I'm just along for the ride and loving it. Wish I could give you a big hug but I'm halfway around the world.

I don't think I have EVER seen Noraly go that fast! Major props to her on this amazing ride!! Much Love Honor and Respect Noraly!!

Cheering for you from San Diego, California! My little girl (4yrs) loves to hop on my bike with me and cruise around town. She LOVES to watch Noraly, "the lady who rides motorcycles and has blonde hair like me...". An inspiration for young riders everywhere!

Absolutely unbelievable! You are on top of the world, literally! And, there is a method to all the madness! You are one of a few in the world to conquer such a race! I am extremely proud of you and admire what you and Savannah have accomplished. Thank you for including us Noraly.

When that the other rider came along and said he has huge respect for Noraly, immedietaly my thought was...she is better than some of the male riders. Ride safe!

Hopefully I can speak for all of us who watch you, we all have respect for you and what you’ve done up to now, but you now get MAXIMUM respect for doing this. Well done my girl..

I’ve never been more impressed with you. You were an absolute animal! Savannah and you both just opened up, got onto FULL race mode and rose to the challenge. Noraly, I don’t even know you but I’m SO proud of you! So many of us watching are driving a desk and you’re out there doing it! Living your dream. WE are living our dream through you! Incredible.

I wondered if we would see this transition. It's one that I've always found when someone says "Go". Suddenly it is not riding any more - it's competition. I think I saw it when Noraly realized that she had followed others the wrong way. Suddenly, she took control of her race and began to move up. Great ride and great result!

Became emotionally attached to Noraly some time ago (maybe in Armenia) and now I think I'm emotionally attached to little Savannah. Ride like the wind you two!!!!!

Having watched all the previous 22.000 kilometers (in one month maybe or so) I now watch this race with Noraly's eyes, And it's a thrill to say the very least! COOL

The complement from your fellow rider brought back a great memory of riding dirt bikes with my two kids , my daughter was racing with other riders and I was watching with a few other people and she pulled up and took off her helmet and they looked at each other and said “ it’s a girl” , with amassment. Thanks for the memories

Man I could just hear that bike screaming "we are having fun now" you rock lady

Wow Noraly! Once I saw your pace, l knew you had seen the red mist. Welcome to the world of the racer! Looking forward to the next stage. I always love it when I see a racer get in the zone. You were definitely in the zone! What a great feeling, right?!?

Rallying is not for the faint hearted. You ride hard and you ride fast. You are awesome huge respect.

It's the return of "Appointment TV" - a must-watch show at same time every M/W/F!

Congratulations, you've officially been initiated into the world's most famous off-roader.

That was just thrilling. I was glued to the screen. Noraly has such a gift with framing her shots. Makes you feel like you're there with her. Amazing.

Who would have thought when you started with ''Finally...good morning internet'' 2 or 3 years ago, back in Dehli, that you would be riding (very quickly) in the Khalahari Rally. You never fail to amaze us. Crack on Noraly.

Ha ha Race mode, the red mist always come's down when the flag drops. Well done Noraly, you were amazing and little Savannah was up to the challenge too. Absolutely gripping video, Fantastic stuff.

"Come on Savanna" you can do it.

Congratulations Noraly!! All those THOUSANDS OF KILOMETERS of riding, plus that formal training is paying off.. You have off-roading in your blood and muscle memory probably more than most out there and don't even realize how many times you've saved it "automatically". I'm loving watching you in "competition" mode, you're doing awesome, especially for a first racing event! Thats coming from another old-timer rider/racer. Yes, lots of respect, and more fun to come!! You have the experience, you know your limits, now use it and know when to back off and know when to push harder. Or, make it just a "fun-ride". Whatever suits you.. I'll keep digging your vids no matter what you do. It's like being there with ya, enjoying life.. Thank You, be careful..

I love the "was going to do this and that, and then RACE MODE was ON!!" I race sailboats, there is a little competitive monster in all of us that once let loose, forgets about fear and restraint. Under those conditions we really discover who we are and how amazingly capable we are. Like the guy said; "HUGE respect".

I have seen all your video's and this is my first comment. I just have to say I truly enjoy all your adventures but this is exciting, and fun. Can't wait for the rest of them from this rally. You go girl

Very well done Noraly! Beware, once racing gets in your blood there is no getting rid of it. Remember to ride within the limitations of your bikes suspension as that will be the biggest danger within your control. Those other bikes will soak up stuff that will buck you off your little Honda and you will be wondering what happened. As you already had a close call that you described in this video. I would set the caps of your forks flush with the top of your triple clamps for maximum stability(especially helpful in sand). If you get into deep sand remember to lean back and try to carry the front wheel a bit. Best of luck, ride safe and you are awesome! Cheering you on from Canada!

AWESOME!! So much fun watching you and the other riders! I give you a BIG THUMB"S UP!

Guess who's really enjoying herself! Runs the Kalahari on a used 250, does well. Runs Melle Moto Dakar, does well. Picked up by pro team for Dakar,.... now a pro driver.

It’s great seeing Noraly and her 25 HP Savannah bombing along, passing much higher-powered buggies and purpose built rally cars. What a long way from learning to ride off road in Oman!

The whole world has respect for you, but now we have H U G E respect, Noraly!!! Go go go 💪 can’t wait for Wednesday. RACE MODE ON!!

18:38 He sums it all right here... "I have HUGE respect for you." I totally agree. Noraly has earned every bit of that compliment. And rightly so, as she has spent 10's of thousands of kilometres traIning for this Rally. She killed this section. And, to top it all off, she had fun while doing it! Well done Noraly!

You've been in training for this for ages,dirt track spotting and reading the Sat nav, way to go noraly ,fearless and now competitive. ....Dakar here we come !

Congratulations Noraly from Hungary! Receive my best wishes from a 76 old former enduro racer who knows very much what a feeling such a race. Enjoy it! I followed your journeys since the beginning in Asia and I admire your every day enthusiasm and preparedness and your fitness all along. Special thanks for the continous entertainment to me! Great, great, great!

Noraly's sprint and sense of adventure will surely have her 'winning' the event despite the lack of CCs in actually finishing in a quicker time than the rest! Good luck stay safe. Go, go, go!

This is so awesome. The best episode ever. More guts than when you crossed that overflowing road in the mountains on Basanti. Great riding. Great respect. You are the Dutch Wonder Woman!

that's it...i cant keep the secret about you anymore. I'm telling EVERYONE how awsome you are. Respect!!

I was laughing about 10 mins into the video seeing you switched to "race mode" and your competitive nature kicked in! I wish you success in the rest of the rally events!

The only woman, riding the lowest cc in the division. You're already passing people on the flats; just wait until you get into the scrambles when the training you took a while back kicks in. If you had another 20-25 mph during level riding I figure you'd easily finish in the top 40%. And O.M.G.! Look at yourself after finishing for the day. You are radiant! Competition is in your blood!

Hitting 100 kph with that bike without too much experience is ballsy. Noraly, you got balls of steel! I'd never pushed it above 70-80 kph off-road.

Thank you Noraly for taking all of us who have never raced before along on this amazing ride. Your fellow rider and fan said it all. That comment from him was totally true I am sure from all of us want be racers and racers alike. WOW

So nice to see your loyal camera-woman / friend walkng around and shooting videos. It’s good to have such loyal friends! And after that, you flew like a rocket! I think you totally underestimate your vast experience…

This was my Fav vlog ever from you. The thrill and excitement in you face and voice was absolutely electrifying. Good for you to do something that I'm sure millions of people dream about but you did it and your adventures are equally amazing. What great character you have. I'll stop now so not to make you blush but yeah.........Awesome!

Amazing speed on the dirt. Your skills you have developed over the years have come to the forefront to prove you are the real deal, no fluff, guts tenacity and talent. Thanks for sharing your amazing adventures.

Wow, that's a lot of respect from another rider. You've got this girl, ride like the wind. All your experience will help you now so go for it.

I could feel my adrenaline pumping at high levels as you were riding through the Kalahari Noraly. Not easy riding these dirty roads. "COME ON SAVANNAH" Savannah all the way 🏍 Good luck.🔥🔥🔥

Now it's on! The power! The grace! The speed! Will shall conquer God willing!

Itchy Boots .. greatest woman adventurer on two wheels ever. 👍

"Huge respect" is an understatement but what other words can describe how you've adapted to these conditions, just an awesome ride, well done Noraly. So proud of you x

Gooooo A28 !!!! Some epic machinery there. I've got butterflies in my stomach and I'm not even there !

"Huge Respect" and what an inspiration! Doing a 7 day 4x4 trip through the Kalahari along the Molopo river next month and i'm sure that red dust will remind me of your life's adventure including this rally. Proudly South Africa...

Tons of respect for you, hey you did awesome 👍👍, in het Nederlands “ je liet de mannen een poepje ruiken”. Congratulations with everything you do,really my heroine .❤

The whole world is united in supporting the Great Noraly!👍

Noraly, you are truly a child of the world. I believe that in your eyes there are no strangers, just friends you haven't met yet. Thank you for being our tour guide to the world.

I HAVE GOOSE BUMPS just listening to all the motor bikes starting up! AWESOMENESS NORALY! What a convoy! THRILLING! Time to ride Noraly! Watching you! Take care of yourself! Sjoe, can get tricky! Rude to leave a cloud of dust in your face! I hope they apologise! Even moved up in position! I too, have HUGE respect for you! BRAVO!

I was sitting at the edge of my couch going "c'mon, c'mon, beat them all". Awesome racing!

Massive massive respect. If someone told me that you won the rally, I wouldn't be surprised. Don't underestimate yourself, you are f****ng AWESOME!

Noraly you are AMAZING! So proud of you. Can hear just how excited you are. What a thrilling adventure. Thank you so much for taking us along! Itchy Boots rules!!

Literally cried because I was so proud of you. REPRESENT!

Wow. As you roll into the waiting starter group, I thought, "Look at her. She looks so small and yet she is the biggest among you!" And in the end you got hit by the racing virus and you rocked the whole thing. Thumbs up! You live the dream!

Это было просто СУПЕР!!! Россия смотрит !!!!! Россия переживает за тебя!!!! Береги себя Noraly!!!!!!

The footage was fantastic. Huge respect well deserved by all. Have a good ride tomorrow Noraly

The Whooooman... she continues to amaze !!!!

I could feel the adrenaline, I was smiling through this whole episode. Good luck Noraly and Savanah.

This is the most exciting episode of Noraly's fantastic journey over the years!!! I think Noraly has a chance to win because of her good navigation skill, which will give her an advantage. Of course, she has good riding skill too. Go, go, go... can't wait for the next episode. Good luck, don't get hurt, stay safe. May God be with you.

We all have huge respect! And I’m loving your Beast Mode. Show all those guys what you have (we already know). Noraly, you are living your best life and inspiring us all to dream of great adventures!🇨🇦🍁🙋‍♀️

As a South African and a citizen of Southern Afrika, the most beautiful place on earth, Noraly, I have a feeling that the past 6 months has been the best of your life. You are welcome, you may stay!

I can’t stop smiling! Itchy Boots and Savanna in full race Mode!🗺🏍🏆Noraly you are amazing and inspiring.

After all these years following OUR Noraly I have never seen her so competitive. Good pace great race, so proud of her and really looking forward to all the other stages. Rest well, Ride safe.

The intro was boss move, the gentlemen on their lineups ready to start and Noraly enters like the queen that she is.

WOW, wow wow! Another awesome video but this one had my heart racing the entire time! You're a beast! Love that Savannah is passing other riders and cars!

Brilliant! Brilliant first woman to race this rally! Well done, well ridden. No better compliment than from a competitor who respected your ride. Your are a special person in so many ways.

Awesome footage, apparently all the years of running gravel roads and the amount of training you did back home over the winter has paid dividends, way to go Noraly. You are amazing
