BACK ON THE ROAD : Alaska here I come! |S6-107| 

Ed is a total superstar! That guy deserves a massive round of applause for what he did for you….. glad you’re ok and back on your way 👌

Does anyone else think that Noraly is the most likeable rider on RU-vid ?

Ed has been a superb partner on this part of your journey. The amount of help he has provided shows what true friends will do. I love Utah and Colorado. Enjoy the high Rockys.

Ed is such a top class guy! In his videos he is all goofy etc but next to you he is a completely different person, very serious, composed and responsible. I think he cares about you and want to make you feel safe and comfortable.

How fortunate for you that Ed could connect you with that set of truly competent mechanics who really wanted to put your bike in order.

Ed is a legend. Two thumbs up for Ed and the guys at the shop.

Ed is a true friend. Glad you two met up when he rescued you. The ride into Mohab was” EPIC” I am going back now to take another look 🌟Thank you 👍

As Ed rode away I sensed the solitude of your journey return and while he has been a great help, you have resumed the challenge of your solo ride to Alaska.

Ed and the guys at the shop did a great job setting her bike up. Good guys.

Glad Ed was there to send you on your way, with that snowy trail. What a good friend. Good thing you looked into your suspension and had it adjusted, you would think with the money you spent and at a Honda shop it would have been done wright. Good to see you back on the road ,safe travels.

You can tell Ed didn’t want that hug to end. He seems like a solid guy and anyone would be blessed having him as a friend. Good on you Ed and good luck for the rest of your journey. 👍

This was interesting because when she was riding with Ed before and he was filming her on the dirt roads you could see that the suspension was quite squishy. Glad she remedied this before hit serious terrain again. (This is the BEST adventure on RU-vid! Thank you Norly!)

"Trying to melt snow with intense stare" 😂😂😂 You're the truest of adventurers Noraly! Ride away and ride safe!

All respect to Ed, he really was helpful.. thanks to Ed

Mr. Ed thank you for taking care of our RU-vid friend Noraly. We will definitely gonna miss you and your kindness.... Stay bless 🙏

I live in Canada, I am going to try the "intense stare" snow melting technique in the next opportunity and report back on its effectiveness; you may be on to something. Glad to see you back on the saddle! :)

A big "Thank you" to ED for bringing Noraly back to her road, for our greatest pleasure !

Hats off to Ed for all of the help and friendship. A tough situation with the injury made a bit easier to cope with.

Big thumbs up to Ed, champion of an individual and great care free self-less attitude. Alaska is back on track!

Thank you Ed and all your crew for looking after Normally and for fixing ALASKA. I wish all of you the best in the future, kindness goes a long way.

Colorado is really heaven…you are gonna have a blast riding on those Rocky mountain roads. Ed is such a gentleman…we need more men like him.

Again and again, in your videos, you show the goodness of people and their willingness to help, support, and care. And as you say, Ed March is a legend. It was good to see him again. I'm glad you're moving on and I'll say a prayer that snow doesn't dash your dream of getting to Alaska!

I just love watching your journey so much. I’m disabled now and can’t ride. You take me with you every mile. I smile through all your videos. Also what a cute laugh you have. Thank you!!!!!

Hi Noraly, good to see you back on the road again. Your friend Ed is amazing to ride with you to say goodbye to you on the road. Let's go Alaska is waiting. Keep safe and God Bless. Happy riding. 🙏🙏🏍🇿🇦💯

Still cant get over Noraly and Ed, my two most favourite adventures riding some of the best terrain in the world together, even if just for a few days. Epic! Made my year!

I've JUST gotten over a fractured ankle. The bright side is that it teaches me to slow down. Enjoy your journey, stop to smell the flowers, and take care!!

What an absolute darling of a man Ed is! Our world can do with more such great gentlemen! Go Ed! Go Noraly!

You are an inspiration to me, electrical accident in 06 left me with one arm and one leg, within a year I had my motorcycle turned into a three wheeler. Getting out riding is wonderful but a three wheeler isn't the same, watching you on the Honda 300 makes me want to get back to two wheels, I think I can pick it back up if I would go down. Happy motoring you are definitely enjoying life meeting new people and seeing the world, hats off to you for following your dreams and inspiring mine stay safe and ride on

Planes, ferries, boats, oceans, rivers , streams, deserts, mountains, and now snow, Noraly and her bikes take on all challenges! ❤️ the channel!🇺🇸

Glad to see you officially back on the road again. I'm sure that your ItchyBoots family worldwide are very thankful to Ed for all the help he did. Thanks EdMarch for the selfless act of rescuing Noraly and helping her in many ways... Looking forward to the next video Noraly. Stay safe and take care

Ed is such a super human being, such a gem, such a rare species. My faith in humanity and friendship is restored. Such a reassuring thought. Hats off! ❤❤

That snow run was just the right confidence booster to get back on the horse! Thank you for taking us along.

We love Ed .. we've watched all his C90 adventures.. hes a natural and so funny ❤ we love you too Noraly 😘😘

You don’t ride alone. All your adoring fans are with you. Thank you for sharing the adventures

But you know Noraly, when one door shuts another one opens. Besides, just look at those wonderful trails you are on. The scenery is gorgeous, a dream to ride and explore. You could always return to ride the places you missed after seeing Alaska.

It’s sad to see Ed go but it looks like your headed to the most scenic area in Colorado. Telluride, Ouray, and Lake City which offers the awesome alpine loop. It’s off-road heaven for mountain scenery. It’s definitely right up your alley 👍

Thank you Ed and the team for looking after our precious Norally and Alaska.

Welcome to Colorado ! My home for 74 years. Glad to see you on the road again. Be safe and carry on.

Getting closer to Canada! Familiar landscapes of spruce, pine, and aspens. Looking forward to see the route you take Noraly through our country to the north.

Hi Noraly, today I accidentally discovered your channel. I watched a few episodes of the last and I didn’t have the patience to get to your last transmission as soon as possible, just to make sure everything is okay with you. What can I say, I am speechless, your travels and the amazing places you have shown us are sights that most of us gathered in one places, do not see in a lifetime. And by the way, I personally don't know a single man alive, including myself, who would dare to do what you do. Thank you so much for taking us on your travels and making us part of the adventures you live every day. Starting today I am one of your many subscribers and I am looking forward to the next episode. Drive carefully Noraly and be safe at all times!

On the road again!!!! Great that you’re able to continue your adventure! Thanks again to Ed for all his efforts in getting your bike setup and checked out. You are definitely in a beautiful area of the USA 🇺🇸! Ride safe Noraly!

Bon Voyage again,Noraly...Ed is one of a kind person & a very good samaritan,my salute to him...Keep safe always & enjoy the ride again,Noraly✌✌✌

Yes, she is the best! Ed is a great friend and awesome soul, we all should have a guardian Angel like him.

Happy to see you back on the road. Alaska summer well be over in six more weeks give or take a week. Glad you had the suspension tuned.

Wichita Ks here. Colorado is the state I head to most frequently for fun and adventure. The people of Colorado are one of a kind. Everyone there is big into outdoor activities, off-roading, biking, hiking, climbing, skiing, hunting etc. Probably the healthiest lifestyles in the whole of America. The non urban parts of American is the true America that I love. Big cities hold no attraction for me, so I avoid them and the trouble that plagues them. 🇺🇸

Noraly, really glad you got Ed and the chaps to look at the suspension, it did look way to soft!! Another awesome video, amazing countryside there for sure 👍

Doesn't look like there's no one else better than Ed that could have came and helped her. Lucky guy, got a farewell hug from our fair Noraly in her own element with the pure snow of the Rocky Mountains.

I was sat in a rest area at the top of Hwy 93 at the Montana/Idaho state line having a drink after riding for some distance, a random guy pulls up in a car walks over to me and asks me Radomly “Do you watch Itchy Boots” you have definitely started a movement 👍👍👍👍

I am absolutely obsessed with your journey. Thank you so much for bringing us along and allowing us to go on an adventure three times a week. 🙏

Riding on safely, but try to avoid ice. Ed is such a nice guy. He's an angel for you.

Well done Ed! Getting Noraly’s bike set up properly is one of the most important things for her safe passage! No matter how good a rider; if the suspension isn’t up to the task, it will make traveling far more difficult! Already proven, by her powering through the snowy pass on the first day! Noraly, I hope you have great fun and safe travels! I’m catching up on the last few years and am thoroughly enjoying seeing South America in your Season 2 posts! Your positive outlook is contagious and inspiring! Thank you!

Hi Noraly, Love your vids and have been watching you travel the world for years. Now that your actually in my country I seem to be on the edge of my chair, watching the American episodes over and over again... Can't wait for the next one... Please hurry!! My Hope is for you too enjoy your time here as well (-:

Trying to melt snow with intense stare. ….😂🤣🤞🏼🏍

Just recovering myself with a broken shoulder after I crashed my bike, so I can share your pain! Sorry to see Ed go, what a lovely friend to have.

Stunning......The scenery is nice too ...

Fantastic and wow getting back on the road on your own - it is your comfort zone - feels like home coming ;-) What a terrain with the snow. The contrast from the Grand Canyon desert to the mountains. The ankle probably needs just that wee bit of time - but looks like Noraly you are on course. Thumbs up to Ed for the help - really fantabulous. Cheers

Certainly Ed was a very good friend and a very good "doctor". The smile on your lips is even brighter !!! Go on like this'!!😄😄👍👍👍

What a guy that Ed. Even though your trip took a bad turn, you made the best of it. Love the scenery in Moab.

Nice clip , interesting to see the Utah area, and a nice change kicking back and spending time in one place.

Thank you very much Ed, your support was invaluable for Noraly to be able to complete her goal. Noraly, I'm glad to see you back on the road, I hope your recovery is complete very soon. Take care of yourself and have a good trip!

hehe. gota love Ed, typical English bloke who's grown up in Moto x, bikes, trail searching and fun, a breed of Englishman many don't understand.. one who's a pure gent, yet rouge.. same as many of us ex moto x riders, not understood enough.. but salt of the Earth.. he did you proud Noraly.. that you can't deny x

I felt sad you were leaving such a good friend , but know by now you are comfortable alone again , you are amazing

Glad to see you back on your route to Alaska again. Ed certainly showed his willingness to help out with all your problems and show you the great trails around Moab. Hope you are able to enjoy some of the famous high passes in Arizona before heading north. Ride safe, Noraly! 😎

With friends like Ed.... nothing can go wrong. ❤️

I have followed Ed for a long time. Nice to see he is going forward again.

Ed, you are a scholar and a gentleman. Thank you for rescuing our beloved Noraly. Noraly, so happy to see you back on Alaska. Ride safe.

You are e very determined and courageous lady. My admiration...GODSPEED!

Spring in the mountains, the smell of snow and newly emerging leaves is beautiful. A few weeks of pleasure before the mosquitoes

I am not a rider but I noticed that Alaska was bumping excessively when you rode with Ed... Good call Norali...that may be Part of Alaska going wild when your accident happened.. Take it easy on your ankle. Praying for a full recovery.

Hi Noraly. I’ve come to know your channel on your Season 2- Patagonia to Alaska trip and absulotely love it and binge watched Season 1...and got hooked ever since. I just got to have my itchy boots fix 3x week! Your progression in riding, video/music editing and drone shots is just amazing! Your interaction with the local people, story telling of the evironment and problems you encounter and solving them...is truely inspirational. I really miss your geology classes though. Take care and have a safe ride to Alaska. Thanks taking us along. And thanks to Ed for being your wingman for a couple of days...a very capable mechanic, a survivalist and a gentleman...a really cool dude.

Great to see on the move again. Ed's a solid guy!

The Americas have been just one spectacular event after another, and the scenery is just amazing.

I LOVE how you backroad every chance you get. Safe travels!

Ed ROCKS rescued you and then gave you a place to mend your foot help you see Moab a bit adjust Alaska and then road a ways with you to make sure you had a good start on your journey a true gentlemen. Happy to see you on the road again.

So happy you have a friend that was able to help you good luck with the rest of the journey

It's a shame that you missed Bryce Canyon and the redwoods in California but that's the way travel goes! We were doing an Ontario to BC trip that was supposed to go via Vegas but three days stuck in Sioux Falls SD with a dead stator changed our plans. Our changed route took us through some amazing places though that we wouldn't have seen on the trip. There is always next time! (Easier for me then you!)

What a great friend Ed was with all his help...and what a great time you two shared in gorgeous country. I loved all of it!

Oh how envious I am! I absolutely love riding Colorado! I am having sympathy pains in my ankle for you lol. Colorado will not disappoint….you or Alaska! Hope her suspension is feeling a bit stiffer now. Big thumbs up to Ed for being such a good friend and taking such good care of you! Glad you’re back on your way!!!

It’s was fabulous to see you back on the road. Thank you to Ed for taking such great care of you and Alaska. The scenery is stunning. It’s funny to see snow in August. I live in northern Ontario and I’m not looking forward to winter ugh. Safe travels Noraly.

Noraly's riding skills have been proven! You are a more capable rider then most I know for sure. Ed is a good influence on your riding. Wonderful.

What an incredible trip this has been so far, so glad you are finding dirt and not too many highways.

Good to see you back, thanks to ED and his buddies for helping you out!!!

Hi Noraly, you better hurry if you want ride up to Prudhoe Bay this season. Northern parts of Alaska are already having winter storm warnings!

God bless America 🇺🇸

Ed is a legend . Period.

Ed is AMAZING!!!! THANK YOU ED!!! Noraly, it's good to see you back on the road. If you are headed towards Denver, in a town about 45 minutes south is Larkspur, there is a Rennaissance Faire. However, if you need anything, you have friends that can help if needed. SO HAPPY your ankle is feeling better!!!!

Aspen trees! (look a bit like Birch, but different) - are uniquely adapted to the high altitude environment. Their leaves flip back and forth in the slightest breeze, allowing them to photosynthesize on both sides (most plants only use one side). This allows them to compete better in the difficult, high altitude environment, surviving where other trees cannot. A grove of Aspens is typically not really separate trees, but a single giant organism with a root system connected underground. They are spectacular in autumn when the leaves turn gold. Safe travels, looking forward to your next episode as always! :)

I love Ed and all the knowledge, care and joy he shared with you ..he’s a keeper! xo

Well done Ed followed all his C90 fantastic journeys , he must love Norelly as much as we all do do to drive all thar way and look after you so well . take it steady with that ankle .

I think Itchy should spend the rest of summer exploring US and Canada and continue her journey further north next season. One could easily spend 2 weeks in California.

You really are some woman Noraly... Well done you and thank you Ed March for minding our Itchy Boots sooo well...

Good to see you back on the road. You found a good mechanic to sort the suspension issues. Should be smooth going now. Ride safe and enjoy!

So glad you're on the mend and riding again. Wife and I love you're adventures and your going to love the Rockies. God's speed.👍🙏

I was wondering about your ankle. What a wonderful host Ed and his pals were for you, bravo. So much to see in the US, especially high mountains, Wyoming south Dakota Montana Idaho Washington State you are in for so much amazing sights. Be well. Alaska must be happy to finally have you to herself ☺️

Noraly’s ankle wants: rest, ice, compression, and elevation… The bike was compressed, she rode at a high elevation, saw some ice and snow… and now she is going to rest (a bit, at least). Not exactly what doctors had in mind… 😜

Great to see you back on the road 😀🏍 as for the areas you missed, keep for Season 7 West to East and zig zag all the way 😀😀🏍🏍

I was startled by the extent of the snow cover on the mountain pass until I remembered it was a month ago. 😄 Goodbye, legend Ed. What fun it was to play in the desert with both of you!

Great fun. One point - those deciduous trees are actually Aspens, a type of poplar.

Black Bear Pass and Ophir Pass are difficult especially if have a sore ankle. In case you were thinking about doing those. California pass is pretty steep but not to technical. Last time I rode up it was compacted dirt and very little loose rock but that was last year. Engineer Pass was loose rock last year as well. Also finding rooms in these small towns like Telluride, Silverton, Ridgeway and Ouray and many others this time of year is extremely difficult. Just for your planning purposes.

You and Ed would make such a good couple ❤️ he's such a great guy helping you out! Good luck on the rest of your journey to ALASKA!
