  • The rains in Africa continue to chase me around and on top of that, I accidentally left my rain jacket behind at the place that I stayed. The risk of falling down and breaking something in the process, while going back down that slippery trail had me decide not to go back for it. The ride continues!

    This old retired deputy sheriff would chase an armed suspect down a dark alley at two in the morning but, riding across Africa by myself is just way too much for me.

      And you all from the USA, Canada, and elsewhere, commenting are very sorely, politically-correct, missing the point.
      What is the point?
      The point is that Noraly's very hardcore, unforgiving African adventure showcasing the intensive and extensive infrastructural decay and the entrenched lack of development brings out the hospitable nature of its people, always willing to lending a helping hand, especially to foreigners. Noraly enjoyed that privilege.
      Equally, every retrogression, poverty, wars, disease, etc that is shown in the news about Africa is correct, and just as valid as the Noraly positive outlook in life depicting suffering and smiling, and hope for the future.
      So, in a nutshell, there is no contradiction between the news media reporting and the Noraly scenic journey and experiment about Africa.
      Noraly concluded this video by showing where she is lodging with a "broken faucet, no running water" in a region obviously blessed with abundant "heavy rainfalls," as she said, plenty of rivers and lakes? How is that a positive thing about "Africa?"
      How many Americans or Canadians would have tolerated that type of service, broken faucets, no running water, in their own respective countries, in any hotel or motel? But that is typical (West) Africa for you - where running water is gold.

      I started watching Noraly when she began Season 6. By episode 35 I bought another bike, that was back in July, 2022. When I reflect on her amazing video series I have already watched over 50 HOURS just in Season 7. I don't recall how many episodes were in Season 6 but I'm confident in thinking there were more than 50 hours there, so, over 100 hours of Itchy Boots and I think she is my sister, I know her that well. What Noraly has achieved few will ever get close to. And, she is so very smart. Think of it, each episode is around 23 minutes, which if picked up by a national television service, her timing is perfect for commercial tell lie vision, room for commercials and announcements. In praise of Noraly Schoenmaker, the real Wonder Woman.

It wouldn’t hurt to have a companion, to bounce ideas, help with just an extra hand sometimes, company…. I have watched you since India, on the one cylinder bike, a Himalayan I think. I’m a dad of three daughters and I worry sooo much for you. You have a gentle, generous smile and affect…that has my attention. I’m really pleased with your courage and growing bike skills. Your parents must be amazing, wonderful people, because they raised a mighty fine daughter. Noraly, thanks for sharing your adventure…from East Tennessee.

So freundlich und respektvoll, wie du den Menschen, egal in welchem Land, gegenüber trittst, erntest du völlig verdient diese Herzlichkeit. Hoffentlich bekommst du eine neue Regenjacke. Der Tausendfüssler war gewaltig groß. Wie oft am Tag sagst du eigentlich "Oh No"? Das hört man ja schon in deinem Intro.

    Question for the others that been here for years. Sure seems to me the recent "dirt bike experience" riding the KTM has improved her ability to better use torque with a little clutch slippage on Alaska? Just seems to ride the rough section with ease now. Love seeing it. I rode woods bikes for years and really wasn't a great rider until bought 1980 Husky 250 in 1981. Was a leftover. Since all the fastest Pros rode one, knew I had no excuse. Within 6 weeks was finishing top 5 at all my races. Confidence. Confidence in the bike being able to handle anything I threw at it. It's crazy how much this game is about the mental aspect. Absolutely love seeing her get better especially considering all the weight she carries. Has to be tough.

      I think her participation in the "Baja" and "Dinaric" rallies are the main reason for her excellent riding, and of course riding a fully laden "Alaska" with around 30hp. is a very different story to riding a light weight KTM. with probably twice the power.
