The cameraderie amongst all the riders is such a pleasure to watch. For someone who normally spends so much time travelling alone, spending time with like minded people must have been such fun. I am sure you made many special friends.

Hey Noraley. Thanks for riding my bike. I really appreciate the interview. If you ever at a loose end and need to redo a portion of South Africa and need a ride, you are welcome to use my bike. When are the tee shirts going to be ready. I’m so glad you got that on camera.

after the KTM you may well feel that Savannha is underwhelming, but what you are achieving with that CRF250 is amazing, an unbelievable endorsement of the Honda Brand...

I'm so relieved that our Noraly got to have an easy day in which she "saved" her energy for the long stage of the next day. I was almost worn out by her gasping for breath in picking up Savannah out of the sand and fighting through the dunes. And struggling through a stuck throttle too. 99.9% of riders would have called it a day when that happened. But, just another day on the Kalahari for the amazing Itchy Boots.

I can’t wait to show my daughter these videos when she gets a little older. She just turned 8 yesterday and is pretty fearless… she surfs and skateboards now but I want to show her some serious girl power and these videos can inspire young ladies across the world!

I want to compliment all viewers to this KZfaq site of Noraly, for the beautiful sincere comments she gets. As a compatriot she unites many continents, we feel like a member of the family. (Jan from the Netherlands).

Really, I'm happy I found your channel from a 62-year-old eighties motocross rider. Well done, young Lady. Well done!

This geography is uncannily reminiscent of Australia's Simpson Desert. We have a race in Australia called the Finke River Desert Race in the Northern Territory. It's a multi-terrain, two-day race for bikes, cars, buggies and quads through desert country from Alice Springs to the small Aputula, or Finke community. There are often over 600 competitors racing over a 460km course and it's open to anyone who wants to compete. You and Savannah would be in your element, Noraly!

Noraly thoughtfully moves a dead fox off the road and then Phillip arrives wearing Fox gloves! 😳

Well done! The cumulative fatigue after 4 days of hard riding must be a killer. You definitely earned your place in this rally community!! Huge RESPECT and Proud of your accomplishments!👍👍🥇🌈🌞

Dear Noraly. Those Bat-eared foxes have the tendency to run towards a vehicle's lights at night, that is how the tragically get run over. Happened to me once - they appear from nowhere very suddenly. Nothing you can do to avoid them without potentially turning over your vehicle...especially when you are towing something, like I was. Very bad experience! Bakoor-jakkals in Afrikaans. Lots of respect for what you are doing, especially the way you conduct yourself in every situation.

Picking up your bike after getting dropped looks easy on video but it's damn hard in reality. Got to love the courage and stamina all throughout the stages.

No posh makeup/no posh hairstyle, face dirty from sand & dust because THIS IS REAL. This is Noraly the legend!!! Huge respect & all the best! :-)

Noraly, we’ve been watching you now for several months. You are an amazing person and knowledgeable bike rider. Stay safe!

Greetings to you from South Florida. My wife and I have followed your videos since you began in India. We have witnessed your growth as a skilled rider and a videographer. We marvel at the ease which you relate to people the world over whether you speak their language or not. God be with you Noraly, you are a very special young lady.

Noraly, Leader of the pack, out clearing the track for her fellow riders! Savannah gave her all but those dunes were a little over the TOP. Let Ryan know your fan club says thanks for letting you ride his customized rally bike. You have really been the queen of this African Adventure!

Noraly look at YOU!! I have greatly enjoyed each and every one of your South African adventures. After the setback you had to face in South America, this must feel so liberating for you! And there's nothing more pleasant for your viewers than watching you enjoy yourself through this season. Also - this Kalahari experience feels a bit like a spin-off of a great TV show : I was afraid it was going to end soon, and what a great surprise you're making us all! Cheers!

Something tells me the Kalahari Rally is going to have more entrants next year, and maybe some more women, too, thanks to Noraly.

If you give Noraly a "Thumb Down" then either you got confused as to what the "Thumbs" mean or you are going to suffer the loss of an extremity to rot in the near future!!! Seriously, she is tasting the adventure/sport, she never told us this was a timed section race but that she was riding in the Adventure Class and what would you call giving an impossible dune climb for a CRF250 three shots in a row ? If she is lead to try an actual rally she will need to spend some serious dollars on a new bike and a support team. What she has accomplished basically unsupported on accessible to all of us motorcycles is ample testimony of her determination and grit. I am looking at a very low mileage 250L for a fraction of what a fully tricked out KTM 450 costs. Plus many of us have to be realistic, we cannot manage a bike that big, that tall and that heavy, especially in the rough going. Go Noraly, your "Team" may not be with you in the flesh but we are with you on the ride!!! Bob in Nevada

"That's some nice BRRRAP" would look great on a t-shirt!

I think all thev viewers on Noraly’s channel love her she is a superb human being . Goodluck for last stage Cape Town 👍💞🌍🇿🇦

I thought these races were like full throttle, never stop, race to win, lone wolf type... but its about team efforts, supporting each other, riding each others bike, basically enjoying..Thanks to Noraly for the show.

Absolutely brilliant Noraly. What a great atmosphere with everyone helping each other and having a blast.

Noraly I noticed in an episode you have the rear axle nut on the shifter side, not good. Reason being if the nut were to hit a rock, it will be knocked loose. Swap axle end for end, that way a rock hit tightens the nut.

Kindness and respect were the things that brought you to a stop and move that fox of the road. Many times during this rally you pulled back out of race mode to stop out of kindness and respect with out a second thought. All the other guys in the rally see it and give it right back to you. You are the kind of person that makes every one around you become more and its all just so worth it. Love it. It's how we make a better world. It's a joyful way of building. So cool.

You are amazing! It is so cool that you all get along so well and look out for each other! That Brap from the 450 was good!

Good Job! And I love the camaraderie - bikers helping each other out and being gentlemen instead of fierce competitors

Noraly you are such a hero. Cannot begin to express my admiration for you and Savannah. Close to a million followers behind you now and I am sure everyone willing you on and keeping a place in our hearts for you. Go girl you make us all so proud.

So much for having an easy day and conserving energy. I love Norely’s complaints on reaching a tar road. These race episodes are great. It’s given me a new insight into rallying. Thank you.

We all love Noraly. She’s really special. A goodwill ambassador for the whole world. GO ITCHY BOOTS!! ♥️♥️♥️

Noraly you are one tough lady. Watching you go through all the hard sections of the ralley and not giving up is amazing. You are an inspiration to anyone who is thinking of doing what you do. So glad to see your spirits are high and I'm looking forward to your next video.

I just love your fighting spirit.. Your run in stage 4 was excellent. Thank you!!!

You are so fortunate to get to ride with such a great bunch of guys!

The love and care for animals from you show a pic that you are truly a naturalist and environmentalist. Keep it up, Noraly. I love the habit of that action instead of giving lectures and all that...I used to think of Savannah being only 250 in the Kalahari desert but still it can carry you through thick and deep dunes...What an adventure! Keep on going through thick and thin, rough and tough roads, bushy and short grass but remember that the world is watching you Noraly. I feel and think that you need to have a bigger bike like the 450 KTM, but I don't know whether you really like it.

I love seeing how all the Saffers are so generous to Noraly - she is treated with respect and they clearly trust this amazing woman - bikers are so cool .......keep going Noraly - tomorrow is going to be tough - but you got this !!!!!!

I feel like I’m watching a legend being made. You’re loving it! The key ingredient.

You are so inspiring to this mature aged female on L Plates. I may never ride like you, but your feats encourage me every time I turn the ignition key in the car park where I am riding loops to learn clutch and gear management!

These videos prove the old Cyndi Lauper song, "Girls Just Want to Have Fun!" Never thought I would WANT to ride on sand dunes before this adventure. Can we see a light 450 cc in your future? Happy Trails to you!

Noraly must be having the time of her life. I applaud the sportmanship between the contenders - that is a refreshing sight to see in this world. And, yes, I admit that I also want to go out there and have fun :)

Loving these episodes !! What a star you are 😃

Noraly when you ride i literally feel what i am missing in my life , you are really lucky girl doing what you love to do, very few could do that. Thanks for the wonderful videos. More power to you. Love from India.

Another great episode. I look forward to each new one. I haven’t ridden off road bikes, only street the last few years, and am enthralled with your adventures. I am living your experiences vicariously and wish to one day have similar adventures. Thank you for the motivation. Ride safe!

Thanks for the ride Noraly! Man, those dunes are brutal! I love it that you let someone film you on your 2nd attempt at the big dune. Your glee is SO infectious!

Thanks for sharing your victories and spills. I can feel your anticipation, excitement, relief, frustration and exhaustion. You’re a role model for focus and perseverance.

My husband and I just love watching Noraly, she certainly has guts galore, makes me quite envious. Love it when she is travelling across the desert at speed and so obviously enjoying herself. Bravo for the programmes and for giving us a chance to see through a different pair of eyes at a great continent. Thank you Noraly 🙂

Good luck on the 700k ride, and thanks for the beautifull image's of South Afrika.

Really enjoying this series of videos and hearing your perspective and commentary.

Really enjoyed this episode - all excitement to see how you tackled the dunes. And the camaraderie amongst the racers - good to see.

“Ah, here’s the fuel truck.” I would have added “for once.”

Loving all these stages. Looking forward to the next stages!!

Hey Noraly, I loved your little mustache during the ending as you were talking to us. Really!!! Maybe you didn't realize your face needed a good scrubbing, but the fact that you're confident with yourself that you're willing to go on camera in front of hundreds of thousands of us viewers, 'just as you are", shows us that you are the real deal. Never stop being the awesome person that you are, God Bless You!!

And Noraly does it again! and with heart too. That was so humane of you to move that dead fox off the road. That speaks volumes for you. Great ride and looks like it was another tough one. I see the end of the rally coming and the suspense is building for the next adventure. Safe riding and looking forward to the finale. Two Big thumbs up 👍👍

This has been such an amazing race you are filming and enduring with success!

love the bloopers at the end of this and the last video!

Love the video! So awesome to see you get to ride other bikes and the respect all the riders have for each other.

Can’t wait to watch this later today! I love your adventures.

This is truly amazing...it's a kind of life we all want live...at least i can this through ur u.. thanks a lot 🙏

I feel like I’m on the bike with you. The filming is so good that I can feel the front wheel. Great work Noraly.

Thank you Noraly another fantastic effort and episode. I can see you on a newer bigger bike very soon. Wonderful action.

I live vicariously through her adventures! Thank you Noraly!

Such a pleasure to watch. Great riding and tipping over lol. You're a great sport and the comradery is absolutely amazing to watch. Wish everyone could be that way. Throttle on!!!!!

Another great episode, what an experience Noraly is having!

The esprit de corps among all the riders was a joy to watch! I think many of your viewers and definitely myself are inspired by that. Just imagine how much we could all benefit if we all treated each other like that in ALL facets of life! A pleasure to see how you are a big part of that kind and caring lifestyle, Noraly...!

I’m so impressed by what you and your little bike can do! Watching you gives me the confidence to take my CRF Rally on pretty much any adventure. Go For It

Alright! Another Adventure run. I can't watch it until tonight. But am looking forward to seeing it. Best Wishes from Montana! M.H.

Savanah got her feelings hurt with your talk about the 450 KTM. That's why she stuck her throttle on you.

Your are awesome Noraly. It's so fabulous to see the support you have from the other riders riding alongside you. That's a nice brrraaap.

Love the rock music for the dunes assault. Keep saying "go on Noraly, you can make it up that dune".Incredible stuff.

Well done Noraly! Great example of endurance and doing it with a smile! Top notch!

Lots of love & support from me,my family & Nepal 🇳🇵. Love you 😍

You're doing great!!....I am truly impressed!!...Again we get to see a glimpse of Noraly's heart when she sees an animal get hurt.....respect!!

Kudos to you and your sense of adventure. awesome job on this rally and continue to have massive fun in the sand! Cheers.

Sometime in the future I see a special rally bike for you. In the meantime, you and Savanna continue to persevere. Without a doubt your video series is outstanding. 👍👍

Noraly, do you ever have to "pinch" yourself to verify that you're not dreaming? What a unique and majestic personality you have developed. In admiration and gratitude for your efforts. Love and Light for you Noraly. as always, Dylan

I think Noraly is doing really well considering her first time doing this kind of riding. It’s also nice to see the guys treating you with respect and helping out in a big way. Most of your videos are you alone except for mingling at a Petro station or a village for minimal amount of time. Ride safe and good luck on the rest of your travels. Good Luck to all the competitors.

Can't wait to see this episode !!

“ Sand” I find myself on the sofa leaning and swaying as if on a bike trying to help you get up those dune hills.

Let's go Noraly! The best KZfaq channels, at least for me.

Living the Dream! Brings me back to the days of riding the soft sand with improper tires.

Exciting adventures as well . Keep up your filming and take care too.I am so excited everytime seeing your new post.Thanks.

A sua participação nessa prova foi excepcional, Savanah e você se saiu muito bem 😊🇧🇷

That KTM is insane. Don’t think I’ve ever seen a secondary fuel tank down low like that.

oh my god noraly i am on the edge of my seat this is on my bucket list you are a champ

THANK YOU FOR ALL THE HARD WORK. I AM RIGHT THERE WITH YOU. I CAN FEEL EVERYTHING. FANTASTIC TRIP

Ahaha - hopping up and down in my chair and shouting encouragement to you and Savannah through those dunes. So dunes are now the gold standard for "sandy tracks"!

Great guys in the race, very good spirit. Also, you have become such a good rider Noraly. You have sold me the idea to get myself a bike someday! But I will start with a 50cc 😀!!!

Again and as I said before, great video love to see you fighting & Riding these dunes.

At 11:10 the perfect dramaturgy: lining up the bike for the 2nd try on that dune - and the music sets in at the right time.. Fun to watch (and probably to ride, too!).

Damn, you taking the big bike for a spin on the sand planes and that engine sound, gives of a little Mad Max feeling. WITNESS MEEEE, WITNEEEESS!

I’m tired just watching. You did great and should be proud of yourself...even well seasoned riders have a tumble too. You didn’t get hurt...that’s a win win!

One of the loyal viewer and subscriber since season 1 of itchyboot, it’s just that too lazy too comment! But this time you forced me to write, you are just amazing soul, and you have inspired lot and lot of people, not just be a biker, but in way that you motivate people to be a fearless and that if there is a will there is way! Thank you for that

I love the simple pov-style as it takes us in the driver seat.

With all these Fancy horses around i'd still pick up Savannah for the win. She's a trooper.

Noralee you are so comfortable here in SA and you fit in so wonderfully, I believe that you should relocate to SA and become a permenant resident, I'm sure there are plenty of motorcycle companies that would sponsor you a job and you could easily start your own motorcycle tour group and lead people on bike tours all over Southern Africa. You are a legend here in SA, part of the furniture.

People working together to overcome obstacles. Great to watch! And you've become quite good in falling and not hurting yourself. Important! Enjoy the rally, Günter from Nürnberg/Germany

Great to see you and the wee Honda taking on all those guys on KTMs etc! Would love to hear your tips for riding on loose sand - you've done a lot of that by now. Best wishes

Just can't say it enough--- Totally Awesome

As I have said before, SAND IS HARD WORK !!! Well done Noraly !! You will sleep well this night !

In addition to providing an inspired , years long moto adventure vlog/documentary, this is one of, if not the, most civil sites on the internet. A reflection of our intrepid traveler and her style of adventure. Thanks!

Love your idea of an easy day! Just can’t get enough of your videos. Can’t wait to see you doing the Dakar 😊
