- In this episode I am riding Stage 5 and 6 of the BAJA RALLY and I'm trying to make it across the finish line. After my leg injury in the previous episode, this is going to be a big fight...

Had she not lost 10 hours due to penalties in the first stage due to her tower breaking with her roadbook on it she would have finished in 14 place! Outstanding! 👍🥇🏆
Both her and Charly learnt a LOT from this Baja experience. His videos are insightful too. Best part, is her confidence and riding skills have improved enormously as a result.
@@bridgetedwardsmentalhealth409 I hoped she would have mentioned what she thought of the experience besides it being fun. But maybe we'll hear more about that side of things in videos to come. Also wonder if it will encourage her to do some unthought of mods to Alaska? Like a steering damper.
@@gailtaylor1636 I think at the time of filming she was still quite exhausted, and probably "numb" from fatigue. Her recent Instagram posts reveal a bit more. Let's hope she'll share a lot more in future videos. She did so well. 😍 👏🏅
@@bridgetedwardsmentalhealth409 I too watched Charly's videos especially for this rally. I wanted to learn as much as I could about Norally's adventure and Charly's. And I am now such a fan of Poncho. Charly is a philosopher! 🙂
Amazing…congratulations 💪👏👏👏👏
You are without a doubt the toughest woman I have ever seen. Having ridden enduros for ten years and those races averaged 100 miles or so. I have experienced the total exhaustion and pain from the four or five hours of continuous riding in brutal terrain. Your riding 6 long continuous stages blows my mind. Also, reading the navigation is very hard to do while trying to watch the terrain and ride as fast as you feel is safe. You are my hero. Keep the great videos coming.
Completely agree with you Scott! I've run ultra marathons, cycled races and summited mountains, and it's takes some seriously deep digging into one's self just to find perseverance and stamina to keep going ... throw in rough, rocky terrain and navigations skills, this Baja Rally was a whole different level of being tested. Noraly is literally super/wonder woman doing what's she's just done!!! And, all with a smile on her face .... unbelievable. Truly epic!
I agree with you Scott, I back in the early to mid 70's rode a few enduros, and after a cold Feb enduro, I remember my forearms were hard as a rock, and i couldn't open my hands to remove them from the handlebars. I had to slide them off the ends of the grips, then I had to drive 50 miles home. I believe she said in first video the bike was a 500, that's impressive for a woman to ride a powerful bike like that. I was always fearing a crash and injury, I had to keep reminding myself of all the miles of backroads she had ridden. I dislocated my left knee joint onetime and was by myself. I "pushed" the lower leg back into place, and managed to ride sidesaddle back to my truck. Great finish Noraly.
She's a warrior!
"Now we talking!" - Full Throttle ... slippery, falls in the mudpit, "Carefull..." - Next... Full Throttle! - So cool! That is racing! loving it!
I'm so proud of you, Noraly! "I hope you liked the video" of course we freaking did it! You are the best! Cheers!
No worries about how good the videos were, Noraly you had us on the edge of our seats, every turn ,every bump i took with you my wife thought i was playing a video game , that's how involved i was . Glad you made it to the finish. Respect and as always STAY SAFE.
Her words "I would do it all over again" ... a great spirit. And a true genuine love of the ride and sport. Congratulations. Yippy Yay Kay!
Proud of you for enduring all of the bumps and bruises. That you finished the Rally proves how tough you are.
Credit to Mandy for supporting Noraly again. I've no doubt her moral support was hugely beneficial 💫🇿🇦
Yepp! 🤗 Mandy-La Ola!!1!
Which is "Mandy" ???
@@WorkingforGODglobal Noraly's friend and support back up on both Kalahari and Baja rallies
@@bridgetedwardsmentalhealth409 ...but what's she look like ?
@@WorkingforGODglobal i a woman! 🤣🤣🤣 You'll find her in Noraly's earlier Kalahari rally video and same with Baja - she's her support back up, and does some camera work too.
Thanks for setting an example for others to follow 🙏 well done in all aspects, especially being a real person tackling real challenges physically, mentally, emotionally - you go girl!
"How many guys in front of me?" You have the mind of a racer, Noraly. You're a tough nut. Congrats, all the best and thanks for taking us on this trip, Günter, Nürnberg/Germany
Noraly, you're a badass. This was a hard fought rally, and after the muscle tear, a nail-biter all the way. What a pleasure watching this little series.
@deanpendergraft: Yes, she sure is! This rally was the most enjoyable part I've seen so far. She's had many followers cheering her on to finish and I'm so glad that she did! Go, Noraly!!! 🔥🔥🔥 🏍
You are an absolute legend and a delight for all your subscribers. You go young lady and make us proud on your next adventure.
Next adventure ... Dakar 2024?
Noraly, you did an amazing job. It took guts and perseverance to keep going with your injuries. I have had major quadriceps bruises and a bruised greater trochanter (hip bone) from a crash on pavement and can relate to your pain level. I would have been a spectator after stage 4. You are a brave soul. Thank you again for all you do to bring the world and new experiences to us.
So thankful I am not your mother.
So, you are a better rider now. Let’s get back to the more simple stuff like touring the world by yourself 😅
18th for your first Baja is really amazing! Considering that you aren't a dirt biker it's completely different than road biking. But you have a tenacious attitude when you set your mind on something. That's going to see you through things others would quit trying and give up on. Great video and I loved your laugh when you wiped out in that mud puddle. You're a great person and a pleasure to watch. Thanks Noraly keep your wheels down and your spirits up👍
No matter what, Noraly ROCKS !! OUTSTANDING 🎉
Excellent training and conquering fear! Fear of rocks, fear of sand, fear of falling. That, and fatigue. We Dutch people are strong between the ears. Stubborn as hell. Good work, Noraly!
You hammered the rocks, attacked the sands and recovered in the ruts but mud is your downfall. Congrats on overpowering the pain and medaling in the finish. You earned lots more than a medal. You earned respect of riders around the world. Thats better than gold. 🏅
Anyone who knows anything about this race knows just how hard it was to race , most average riders could not get past the first stage much less finish it . Don’t stress about what you think wasn’t the best video or showing how difficult. The fact you got any footage is a miracle that we greatly appreciate. Job well done!
What a trooper Noraly is….I know she has got to be in pain somewhere in he body, but she keeps on going, her competitive ways are something to admire,….her command of the motorcycles is something else!
You must be incredibly proud considering it was your first race - well done
If you watch this episode, the emotion that is most overwhelming is pure, unmitigated awe! It's hard to recall any professional athlete outside of Curt Schilling who demonstrated as much courage, grit, and just plain kick-ass effort while injured. Noraly is beyond inspirational and truly deserves our respect!!!
I love to see the loyal support by Mandy. She is always around to support Noraly in the Baja Endurance Rally activities in whatever circumstances.
What a road warrior! Shout out to your crew and to Charley as well. What a saga you write.
Millions of congratulations, Noraly. Amazing 👏. Don't give a 💩 what other couch specialists are telling you to do or not to do. It's your life, your channel, and you are the boss here.
Totally agree! fantastic content professional editing and damn she does her own stunts.👍🏻💪🏻
The only channel I can comment on without even watching the video. Itchy boots ... You will never let us down 🙂
I love that you posted this on youtube. Without any other type of social media I would have never been able to see this, which I find very sad when people say they are youtubers but then only post epic adventures on instagram or some other thing I have never heard of. So, huge thank you to being a true youtuber!
Concordo....
Right on
This whole rally, difficulties, injuries, and a triumphant finish ... brought me so much joy!!! You are a very good rider, and tough as nails! Congratulations on the finish! ❤
Wow you did it. Very proud of you finishing the six day Baja race. I raced off road for 30 years and loved everything about it but the crashing. Broke my back, collar bone toes and many road rash abrasion’s. You never know how fast you can go until you crash. ❤❤
Let's goooo ......!!! Congrats Noraly, you're a champion - you pushed hard and endured so much pain ... btw, your riding skills have improved so much because of both Kalahari and Baja rallies! 👏 👌 🙌
Merry Christmas and all the very best of blessings for 2023. You've added enormous value to all our lives, thank you! 💜
PS: Don't bother reading those toxic comments shared on IG, you're DOING whatever makes YOU happy, not them! Keep going .... Salut!
What toxic comments? How dare they?
@@mindtraveller100 agreed, there are some really bigoted, spiteful and jealous people online who have nothing better to do than to attack her because she's successful at doing what she loves!
Het was fantastisch fijne jaarwisseling
@@hectorshouse7348
NO!!! Thounsands and thousands of men watching a rally?! That did realy happened?
I´m schocked... 🙄
Brilliant, just brilliant. I imagine that all those thousands of miles you've ridden around the globe have given you belief in yourself to overcome problems you meet. Although not high speed riding like the rally, but a broadly based experience on different bikes, in various degrees of health (worn tyres, damaged forks, whatever.....), on all manner of terrain and weather. Thank you for taking us along. 👌❤️
This is really hard. To run a video commentary at the same time ! Nerves of steel. Noraly 👏 👏 👏
Congrats everyone! And of course congrats to you Noraly for finishing the Baja Rally! A true Baja Finalista! And thanks a lot for taking us along!
I can only imagine how hard it would be. As a rider with no off road experience I think it kind of came through how the terrains and stages are but it's no match to even feel it in real.
Thousands of miles of Dessert and Noraly finds a mud puddle to tip over in 😂😊🤣. Gotta love this girl !
I never missed an episode, starting from India.
At 67, on bikes for 50 years, you are still an inspiration to me.
Well done ! Take a bow !
Trinidad & Tobago.
West Indies.
That was a tougher rally than the South African one you raced. There too you had a broken bike, but you managed to recover. Congrats, well done.
That cloudformation and the sunrise at the very beginning was awesome. Fantastic achievement Noraly!
*Ms Noraly, CONGRATULATIONS on not only competing in the Baja Rally, but also finishing it... well done you. Also coming in 18th is great considering you have only done one other rally. Yep the time to replace the tower roadblock took your placings down... but I am so proud of your achievement as are the other 1.5million subs. And now back to Alaska to see Miss Alaska again & also to see Bill who is doing all of Miss Alaska's modifications.*
BIG THANKS To Charlie and Pedro for watching out for ya !!! 👍🤙🤘🖖
I think Charlie has the hots for her 🤪...and who can blame him.
@@JJ-SH they have been very close for years... and yes... who could blame him 👍👍
@@FlipandTheBlueMule I believe you meant Pancho, Charly's backup. I've enjoyed watching Charly's Baja videos too. Pancho was incredible support to them both!
WOOOW this was incredible to watch! The whole Baja Rally, you are a beast. Pure admiration for you, your incredible strenght, courage and resiliance. You are an amazing woman. I do not suffer from anxiety but I experienced a little bit while watching this series hahaha.
Itchy Boots congratulations, hoping to see you do more of rally, here to support you. Noraly and Charly does have good chemistry ❤
It looked tough enough, and your pain and exertion was evident, and you report it was much tougher..many would have dropped out, but clearly not you..congratulations for your 18th place finish, thanks for taking us along..hope you heal well.
Well what can we all say? Yep you did it! My god what a rally race. 18th, no wonder you are felling so proud,! All I will say, is thanks for sharing your trip and rally. And a bloody well done and congratulations. On finishing.....and safe. Now you can have a rest before continuing your journey!
It's a pity that at the very beginning your tower broke and you got a lot of penalty time. But that's part of the game and you went through the race very well. Happy for you, really looking forward to reuniting with Alaska! We follow you and rejoice together!
Noraly, what a punishing rally! Once again you showed real heart and fortitude … tremendous achievement!
I DIDNT LILKE IT, I LOVED THIS BAJA SERIES! CONGTATLATIONS ON YOUR BAJA RALLY FINISH NOTHING SHORT OF AMAZING!!👏👏👏👍👍👍
Brilliant content Noraly. Congratulations on the medal, it’s well deserved.
WOW 😲 Very impresive results! Congrats Noraly!🥳 Some people can't achieve this level of performance even after months of training, but Noraly becomes a Baja Rally finisher in her spare time.. doing it for fun, this was suppose to be her time away from adventuring. You know the saying some peolpe work hard and then play hard.. Noraly works hard and then works even harder during her "play time" 😁
Love her relationship with Charlie. When he asked her "if this was a good idea"...she kinda leaned back and said " yeah...never gonna listen to you again". LOL! When they first met I thought he was kinda creeping on her with the hugs. Now I know, Charlie hugs EVERYONE! 😆
Charly: It was good idea to como no or not, it was my idea.
Noraly: never listening to you again 🤣🤣🤣
Wow ,what a gutsy effort, you are bonafide Girl , a real motor cyclist, your will to complete the task is amazing ,I can't wait for the next adventure that you take us on. RESPECT !
This is how it is when you are the itchy boot legend ...
Congratulations on finishing this Rally . After this we will all watch Noraly’s next episode as a fast food motorcycle delivery driver or moto taxi driver in Vietnam or something 😂 it won’t matter we are hooked !
Congratulations!! Oh I could tell that was tough!! Amazing filming and adventure. Thanks Noraly!!
It was not hard to see the difficulty of what you did. You are an inspiration for your fortitude. I applaud you. Well done
Noraly, I am so proud of you!
Excellent ride and you didn't give up despite your pain.
You are a real blessing for humanity!
💖🤗😁
Wow, really impressed with your fortitude, talent, and skill. As they say, when the going gets tough... I am certainly looking forward to new adventures in 2023. Cheers!
Congratulations Norlay, you did a fine job racing the Baja. Hope your soar muscles heal quickly and the paint subsides.
I love how proud she is to wear her medal that she wore it on her flight!! Great and amazing accomplishment Noraly, thank you for sharing this journey so quickly after Alaska! Kisses from Montana!
Deciding to participate in the rally was a tremendous idea, this will give you many driving resources to protect you on your travels around the world.
Congratulations, Noraly! I hope that you feel like you ran your pace! May 2023 bring you many new adventures and unlimited blessings.
Noraly finished the Baja Rally. She has the checkered flag embossed on her legs and her smile is beaming to declare how competitive her heart is.
After the tower problem was repaired, no obstacle dared stand in her way. The cacti and other competitors joined forces to cheer her from one waypoint to another.
Now Baja is another notch on her trek to navigate the world.
The stability technology in the cameras Noraly uses that smooth out the bumps is so good that when you are watching you really have no idea how much of a terrible battering Noraly and the bike is getting on the rocky stages particularly .She is one incredibly tough lady ,the bike must be pretty tough as well !.
Outstanding effort Noraly, you don't know me but I am very proud of you. I am impressed with your perseverance and fortitude in the face of fatigue and injury; very impressive. You have become an amazing rider and navigator too; I hope you are as impressed with your results as I am sure all of your viewers/followers are. I must say I really love your adventures in travel more but these rally videos have also been grand; especially seeing your joy in completing the challenges you put in front of yourself. Safe travels and please give yourself a well earned recovery time.
Like most everyone commenting here.. youre really inspiring! Thank You for this great content!! You were definitely booking it in some of those clips! I'm impressed. Thank you..
For taking me on an adventure while I sit here waiting for the snow and ice to melt.
Wow, so much more speed in spots, I am surprised at how hard you pushed yourself after getting injured. And through it all I never heard any complaining. Rally racing looks quite entertaining if you are in shape for it. Good thing you trained for it. It’s so different being on the bike with you during the race as opposed to the regular sightseeing from earlier this season. Can’t wait to see what’s upcoming for you next. Well done, Noraly ❤❤❤Rick
Congratulations, Noraly, on completing a real tough BAJA race! 👏🏼🙌🏼
Congratulations! A huge achievement! Well done!
Itchy Boots does it, again! International, Multi Continent, Moto-vlogger extraordinaire, Adventure seeker, Story teller, World traveler, Excellent content provider, (River, Desert, Mountain, Valley, Glacier, Sand dune) riding, Artic Ocean Swimming, and now, Baja conquering "Finalista!"
Congratulations Noraly, you are amazing! Well done! You had me at "Good morning, Internet." Many thumbs up for all you do, the hard work, the perseverance, all your riding and filming skills, to bring us such amazing entertainment and education. Thank you for sharing it all with us. A fan for life!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours!
No "mountain of hell" or mud pit is going to stop our Christmas angel from her appointment with dust to glory! Lots of good lessons in perseverance and a never give up attitude. Congrats Noraly, you exceeded expectations again!
So great to watch alternating with Charly’s videos of the same rally, of the same routes getting a glimpse of you in his videos and vice versa. Really a tough rally, so many rock/rocky terrain’s; amazing how you help up; compliments and already looking forward to the next adventures.
Best wishes and all the best for 2023
What an absolute WARRIOR HERO!!! Whipping out those hundreds of miles in the desert, day after day, by herself at speed while capturing it all to share with us! Thank you, Noraly, you are, as usual, nothing short of AMAZING!!
That was awesome! Noraly is unstoppable, persevering through injury and pain. All future rallies you should enter under the name "The Mini Terminator". Because "The Mini Terminator" DGAF about the pain, she is going to finish the race and get her medal. Well done!
Absolute respect for you, that was a tough rally and we are all proud of you for being able to finish. Rest up a bit. Best Wishes for the New Year and your next adventure.
Hi Noraly. Both my daughters are home for Christmas and have watched a couple of your rally videos with me. Both a vehemently proud of “strong independent women” and think what your doing is inspirational…..by the way…..inspiring a slightly old bloke as well. Good on ya👍
Great job Noraly, you can be mega proud of your performance. It was a lot of fun to watch the rally, incredible performance. If you don't see how much effort and strength it takes to do this, you have no idea what it takes to complete the 6 stages. Thanks for the great viedos, it is not easy to bring a rally and viedos under one hat, respect. 👍🤙
Massive respect for Itchy Boots! 💪😎 Noraly has the spirit of a fierce tiger. Good job, we are all super proud of you!
What a great race! And you did it, and what a ‘kanjer’ you are❣️ We are proud of you🇳🇱You have so much spirit. Thank for showing us this rally. 👍
Amazing she said, what an understatement. To even finish in the Baja is amazing let alone to come in 18 overall. Well done Noraly, your legend status continues to grow. What a woman!!!!🥰🥰
scam below, beware.
Noraly is a BEAST! Equipment failure, personal injury, getting lost. Nothing stops her. Her courage and tenacity are becoming legend. Speaking as a dirt bike rider, I know how physically demanding these races can be. Thanks Noraly for being such a good example in this wussy, woke world! I always look forward to your vids. Congrats on finishing. Stay safe.
I'm in my 80's now and I started riding off road in 1968 on a white tank Yamaha 250 Enduro. I never stopped for 48 years. I know how you feel and I'm positive you will rally again. Congratulations on a great ride and best of luck with your future endeavors. Can't wait to see your next adventure.
I'm in awe, and very angry that people have made negative comments about your efforts. One of the great things about CZcams at the moment is seeing women like you break 'glass ceilings' In years to come, I'm sure folk like you will be seen as pioneers tha inspired a generation, not only of women but all sorts of feint-hearted men like me to go get up and do something exciting with our lives. Go Noraly!
I saw no negative comments. What is this 'glass ceiling'?
You missed that he’s a “faint hearted man” ….should tell you all you need to know…
@@pgnandt He's Mr. Woke.
@@pgnandt There were some stupid af comments on Instagram and Facebook. Probably not here on CZcams. I don't even know why the negativity dudes are following her. Weird, eh?
@@WhiteTiger333 precisely!
Normally...you are as tough as they come ......and a total legend in the world of nail polish and buttshorts!!!
Totally awesome Noraly. HUGE respect!!!! Such courage; such determination; such skill.
I am a fan !
This rally has been a breath of fresh air thanks to Noraly xx ❤️
I am 61 years old and have never ridden a motorcycle. Because of such a woman, I would learn it. Honor, bow and respect.
My wife and me are just proud of you Noraly! We have traveled many miles on concrete and a few in dirt, so we have experience to know how difficult this was. Blessings on the next adventure!
Congratulations Noraly! You demonstrated perseverance, tenacity and sportsmanship in the face of a very challenging series of routes. No wonder your channel continues to grow and your army of admirers sing your praises.
Congratulations on your achievement. You’re an inspiration to people all over the world. Can’t wait to see what you do to Alaska. She deserves it. Probably no tower addition though. That would have driven me mad!!!
I’m just blown away at how fast you go while still looking at your road book and navigating the terrain!
Well done Noraly! You’re so much better at riding than your first motocross lessons in Holland, it’s night and day! I’d love to see you go back there and ride again to see how much more comfortable you’ll be. Very impressive!
Noraly, I can't say enough how proud and excited I am for you to complete this grueling event, particularly after your setback with the broken tower and injury. Your determination and mental toughness prevailed. You even have the bruises to show for it. Always a thrill to go on an Itchy Boots adventure! Congrats!!
Could not be prouder! You have proven, even without the footage you said you missed, how tough this rally was. You are such an inspiration! There is so much more to rally racing than I ever imagined....and to ride along with you on this one, is so so cool. Congratulations young lady...your battle scars will heal but you definitely made memories! YOU DID IT!!!
Congratulations Noraly. Keep us updated for your future. Be hard to top Baja
Noraly, you are no less than magnificent!
Here in the Pacific Northwest, we had 5" of rain yesterday. My bikes are tucked in the shop, but thanks to you, I can put another log on the fire and bask in the Baja sunlight and your courageous sense of adventure.
I doubt you will ever know how much you inspire us all to whatever it is we do. Just know that we are with you in spirit every time you have struggles?
GREAT JOB!!!
Unfortunately there's is just this simple thumb that u can hold up for Noraly on YT. If there would be a bigger one on YT you would definitely get it from me and a lot others for sure 😃👍. Now popcorn 🍿 and the latest Itchy Video. Good Ride to Noraly and everyone here. Greets from the wild South of Germany 🇩🇪
Dear Noraly,
I discovered you ‘by accident’ on YT. A young woman on a bike, named Basanti. From that moment on…..I have been following you, in all your tours, all over the world!! Nice clips, where ever you are. Beautiful different scenery. Excitement. The people, you meet! Things you do (for example rallying) …………everything!! You are inspiring to a lot of people, all over the world! Thank you for sharing; your laughing, emotional things…the pain….and no matter how deep you are having troubles (understatement).. the only thing í have heard; ‘oh dear…’.☺ Best regards, William from the Netherlands.
Absolutely fantastic series! Congrats Noraly. Such great content.
Itchyboots is an inspiration to do tough things. And an example of how to be a badass.
🇮🇹 Here WE are, folks! Gooood Afternoon, Noraly, Internet, sisters and brothers, let’s goooooo, as usual! 🇮🇹
Girl ….. definitely a “Power Rider” 👍, after seeing your pic’s. I don’t think I would of got on the bike.
🇮🇪
Hard cor norali
Congratulations 🎊
An amazing rally. Fantastic footage looking forward at the path you had to take.
Congratulations again,looking forward to what's coming next 😎🏍🏍🏍
Felicitaciones, al finalizar este rally me dejaste pasmado, el espíritu de competencia lo tienes muy alto para soportar el dolor, mantener la calma y la concentración, un fuerte abrazo!!!
Noraly, you are my favorite YT travel channel. You choose the most interesting places and the personal connections you make and the knowledge you always transfer is amazing to me. Much respect and gratitude for providing such great context. This Baja rally was above and beyond. My hands were swearing and my heart was pumping while I cheered you on. Huge congratulations for a superb finish!
Pat you expressed my feelings exactly!!! I am SO impressed with her - love her smile, her enthusiasm, her joy in what she is doing. She is a sweetheart
