Well said.

wow... well said

My thoughts exactly we all were there with her sharing her experiences she's one hell of a lady👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Fine word's...

Noraly is the best! Not in just in riding, but my history teacher, my geologist, my mentor on kindness, empathy, my neighbor. As one policeman had said to you, “aren’t you afraid?” You said no. Everyone you have connected with are nice!!!! People gravitate to you. ❤️👍

And thanks for hearting my Comment, especially as it was later in the thread this time. I overslept. Must have been tired from all this hard racing!

Good pun !

I have 1 word for Norali - MAGNIFICENT!!!

This is thanks to the multi-part support.

that's bikers! 🤘

@@gustavoatencia6029 Absolutely! And, we love her generosity to give of herself along the way.

@@TripleU-E That's right! She's in the community of legends, as I see it, and those who helped her.

That's the "Spirit" of the Kalahari Rally, CAMARADERIE of the biking world at it's BEST...

yes, really cool and very gentlemanly behaviour. Never met that in the horse riding world.

The buggers all stopped to look at her rear end

@@MollyGrue1 Absolutely! There are still some gentlemen among us.

@@phillipbotha7920 Correction, they stopped to look at the crack in her rear end. 😉

This rally was the best of the best of this journey. I see more and more of these rallies for you. Rider helping rider!

Oh yeah! Toxic masculinity my arse! There are lots of good people out there, and a lot of them are men!

Christ, that's made me feel very old! 😳😳😂😂😂

Blonde, young, blue eyes, a contagious smile/laugh, intelligent geologist, adventurer, excellent biker … who wouldn’t stop for this particular damsel in distress?

THATS HOW THE WHOLE WORLD SHOULD BE...

It's like that all over. All desert racers help each other. It's just like that over here in the California deserts and Baja Mexico

THAT 250 PROBABLY LASTED LONGER THAN HONDA MOTOR INTENDED.

@@carlatamanczyk3891 Considering her bike is intended for mostly street use, and some mild trail use and gravel roads, yes it's quite impressive that it survived as much punishment as it got out there. The engine, although under-powered, is apparently pretty tough. She was wide open most of the time.

😁😁

I saw what you did😹

Hahahah! Well said "T" 🖖🏼🤟🏼🇨🇦

Exactly what I thought. Savannah took a lot of beating, also with the extra fuel on the back.

amazingly durable little bike that honda

So true, I'm supprised it lasted this long with all the load it's been carrying for all those miles. It is a truly awesome bike, the best I have ever owned.

Right and Honda better ship her a 450 asap

Also I suspect not an oil change in the whole rally and sporadic air filter cleanings. Compared to Lyndon Poskitt that takes his bike apart on a daily bases on a rally this is amazing!

This was the "adventure race", not the actual rally.

Beautifully said .

@@VK-tq4il All of her off-road riding pays off; she rode the Kalahari like a pro despite the limitations of having the smallest engine.

They showed the european spirit.

Actually they showed the biker spirit. In india too if you are going on a long drive on your bike and you get into an issue, you will find many bikers wanting to enquire/stop/help if possible. Car drivers will not stop for bikers

I totally agree. What an amazing and strong woman.

No need to replace the bike. this is very fixable.

That's an easy fix. Unbolt the broken sub frame and bolt on a new one.

@@darkiee69 Ja all of us with KLR's have all done this once

@@Phyde4ux Welding the back is possible, if not change it when it´s fixed by screws. Not a Probleme!

That's true they travelled 22,000 kms. before the rally.

It seems to be a theme: all are great competitors but they won't leave anyone having difficulties. Real sportsmanship.

That's precisely what still holds me in this brief moment of existence. Not all riders are that nice. But there are so many of them out there... I give no importance to flags, anthems, borders, prejudices, xenophobia... in the end we're all humans riding this big bike called Earth. We all may need help down the road. We all are willing to help others up that hill.

you understand that group that NORALY in it is not racing ,they are there for fun, and that's why they stop, they help, they do everything ,because they are there for fun, actual racer start way ahead of this group, and they are last to leave, so they don't interfere with actual racers!!

@@ahoorakia sure I do! But this fact doesn't diminish their good will, does it?

@@denydias8923 no not all ,I agree with you, but that doesn't make her racer! does it?

Some of the very best of this rally was the camaraderie of everyone. Riding out of your way to help others. Helping each other.

No,she should stick with a 250 and ride in the 250 class,but her bike is under powered,my 94 xr250r has more power than this thing,my xr has 30hp and will do 140kph,it has more suspension travel and is lighter. she needs to do a bit of home work and get a bike with the specs she needs to go faster.I would be surprised if Savannah had much more than 20 hp,but I was impressed with Savannah's reliability,I know my XR R would never be able to do that because it's air cooled and starts playing up when it gets hot,I'm sure it would melt down on those sandy sections. more cubic capacity doesn't always equate to more speed and speed is not your only consideration in an Enduro,reliability is a big factor, I was lucky to make it home from my first Enduro,I used up all my spark plugs and after stripping down the top end found a hole had nearly burnt through the top of the piston.I just didn't realize how much your mixture leans out at constant wide open throttle and how important jetting is.

Still waiting for Honda reply 😬

@@gogogeedus I was thinking the same thing while watching this awesome race, because I used to have a '99 XR250R and man that bike would rip! I was imagining riding that old XR in a race like this, it would be a ton of fun. Also those old XR250's are a LOT lighter than that pig CRF250L. You're right too, if she were on a more capable and more powerful bike, she would really be going fast out there, without nearly as much work.

@@bingaguilar9163 25 years later....................Noraly's granddaughter is still waiting................!

All I could think of was..." It's only a flesh wound! Come back and fight you coward!"...LOL

@@gregjetnikoff7124 Holy Grail reference. Excellent.

Thanks Lea! Yeah Savannah is a cute cafe racer now right 😂

Yeah, you have to take into account this was the adventure class as well where I think you will find more participants riding for the challenge and enjoyment of completing the course just like our girl here started out rather than an all out race class where finishing position may affect ones future sponsorship or riding career opportunities.

@@billwiley7216 On the nose. It's meant to be an entry level class for the "I just want to say I did it" folk. I'm not saying anything against them, most of the people who participate in those classes bring a lot of heart with them to the race. It hurts way more to see one of them have to call for a lift and receive a DNF than sponsored team.

Great guys!!

no!! he wanted to make sure noraly was there to help him if shit happened

@@emperorsnewclothes9405 lol

All those priveteers on the big 450's and Noraly goes vrooooooooom on her small 250, very impressed!

Savannah is fine, she'll trek another 40k easily without any adverts of Honda's help.

A bit more horsepower/torque, reinforced subframe, bigger gas tank. Tired were awesome but need a coating on the inside so that thorns can’t puncture. I had a fiat that had puncture proof tires! Yeah baby!!! No flats for me. 🥸

I dont think Noraly will part with Savannah regardless of the offer.

lol

Go, go go! Naah, I'm in no hurry.

She didn’t!! So funny, “I just can’t go slow”, the words of a champion! Our Noraly!!!

On the pipe , from go! . You got that

😂🤣😂🤣 Yes indded 😉😊

Not to forget the 22.000km she did before the race.

@@darkiee69 and the bike already had several thousand Ks when she bought her. It wasn't new, remember.

@@TheFeldhamster I'm not sure, but I don't think it was that heavily loaded and rode those long distances of pavement when it was new.

she doesn't have racing experience, so give some racing bike without experience will not end good!! just remember fish can not fly, and bird can not swim! so giving the right swimming gear to a bird will not mean it can swim in the water!!

@@ahoorakia what about penguins, and all the other sea birds, some swim in some way, fish also clime out of water and some fly………… just a thought ………, well it’s interpretation.

@@reddog8145 the one who swims can not fly, and the one who flies can not swim, the fish you are talking about, jump out water for few second, and go back to water, can not fly and hunt out water! penguin might be considered bird but they can not fly just make understand, in plain English!! JUST FOR YOU! ANIMALS WHO CAN FLY AND LIVE ON LAND,CAN NOT LIVE IN THE WATER ANIMALS WHO LIVE IN THE WATER ALL THEIR LIFE,WITHOUT NEEDIND COMING OUT WATER TO GET AIR,CAN NOT LIVE OUT OF WATER!! some can swim like penguins, but can not live under water, has to come out to get air! and that fish of yours continue to fly more than few second will die unless it goes back in the water, and being in the air for few second is different than flying all the time , I hope you understand what I'm trying to say, and please no smart ass comment like that , until you actually understand what I try to say

ahoorakia you’re right, she doesn’t have race experience until now. She has the drive and a never quit attitude. That alone will get you further than you think. Oh and by the way, some fish can glide, and there are plenty of birds that dive under water….

@@ahoorakia what about the benevolent sloth. It hangs from the tree sometimes with four fingers and sometimes with three.

sure. tall blonde on the bike is not real reason, why there's 12 "engineers" stopping by to help.

Me too. Love to hear more of the comments from other riders with Noraly in the after events. 👍

True gentlemen!

Yes. Really Sportsman at it best.

YES YES YES - Absolute stars. What lovely people.

used bike 25.000 km + She ride ca 27.000 km more = 52 .000 km hard "road" offroad with luggage is hard !

@@toomasargel8503 ya it was used & it has done fantastic... And can still be repaired, many more miles left in that bike for sure.

@@johnboy5156 Honda should replace Savannah for all the free promotional advertising Norally has given to the CRF250 maybe with CRF450RX (it's less than £9K)

@@philhunt9297 that would do the job nicely

@@philhunt9297 if she was to talk to Honda she just may get a great deal on a new bike. Other vloggers have done so. These videos can only be nothing other than a great advertisement for the brand

Totally agree on that! Ducati needs to make a all terrain moto

Ktm 450

@@mikewarner2285 Ktm could build a 390 rally for Noraly.

@@fjbrader Do you think it could be as reliable as Savanna?

@@darkiee69 But would it be as good as her Honda has been over tens of thousands of miles?

me faling of the bike and swearing the hell out, Noraly falling of Savanna ....leafing.

Comrade racers always look out for each other!

I'd like to think that this is the default setting for humanity. That we want to help one another, even if we're from different backgrounds or barely know one another.
