This river crossing is like BLIND ENDURO |S6 - E6| 

Love how real this is. No drive arounds or help. She is on her own. This is why Noraly will have 1 million subscribers by Jan. Love the show.

When Noraly gives a little laugh and giggle, it's because the going is getting tough; river crossing, deep mud, rocky surface uphill etc. Kudo's to her, a lot of biker's wouldn't attempt it. Respect. Best wishes from the U.K.

Having only maybe 1/10,000th of riding experience as Noraly, I can still appreciate the effort and fortitude to do what she has chosen to do. Just watching the river crossing, the anxiety I could feel knowing what is involved - getting off the bike without tipping it, then walk/driving/pushing it across, still trying not to dump it. Then the relief of having made it across, alone. It helps being a rider to have a glimpse of empathy to the efforts in her travels, but Noraly has managed to capture the experiences in just the right way to help bring any viewer along with her - being able to hear the inner monolog, the rider's perspective, seeing what she sees as she sees it, (knowing when she's standing up on the pegs), it all helps convey the journey. It shouldn't matter that she's a woman, but realizing the inherit world dangers as lone traveler, compounded by imposed perceptions as a woman, makes following Norlay's adventures that much more inspiring. It is a privilege that she is sharing it all with anyone who happens to watch.

Unbelievable!! You leave me speechless at how calm you are and are able to focus and keep moving forward. You are a phenomenal woman and wow….. what a privilege to be able to follow you on these amazing adventures. Please stay safe and thank you so much!!!

Noraly is our hero! She didn't play the helpless female card and look back at the man for help, but it was nice that he stuck around in case she needed it. 👍

"don't look at me like that" - awesome, hilarious.

Dear Noraly, I've just started watching again. My wife LOVED watching with me, especially with your positive attitude. I miss her by my side but it gives me comfort. Thanks for sharing this video. Take care and ride safe. 🖖🏼🤟🏼

I've always liked how Itchy boots show us the different parts of the world like how people get on with their daily lives especially in the South American countries cuz then we have an idea of what it's like to live an everyday life down there which does not get enough coverage by mainstream channels. Also cheerios to Noraly for keeping us entertained. Her positivity towards people is everything! 🙌

2:00 "Don't look at me like that, that's how he instructed me to do it!" I love it!!

That river crossing had me on the edge of my seat!!! I have full respect to you for getting it across safely!! Great episode!!!! Very inspiring!

That was a gutsy river crossing! Well done Noraly! I love that the stranger on the horse stuck around until you made it safely across. Good people in Ecuador!

Noraly check out the motorbike peoples awards as you were nominated for two categories in 2021. You got a 2nd runner up in best social media channel and a 1st runner up in the most inspirational female rider catagory. Congratulations are in order!

Remember what I said about carrying a few different primary sprockets? hehehehhe. Gearing is EVERYTHING on an adventure bike...... Now what's impressing ME most, is that when the cameras pan front, back, sides at an obstacle, we DON"T see a whole train of support personnel, back up bikes, radio com trucks, or camera crew......now THIS is REAL " ADVENTURE" !!!!! YOU GO GIRL!!!!! :)

Ecuador, such a beautiful country & people. I love your approach & attitude toward challenges. Thanks for inviting us to follow your adventure.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, Noraly is a "World Treasure" and she brings so much joy and happiness to so many people all around the world. THANK YOU NORALY!!!

Multi lingual, brave, adventurous, an inspiration to adults especially females. Brilliant.👍

Noraly, your statement that you were headed “back to the dirt” gives newcomers to your channel a glimpse of what awaits them as they continue to “tune in.” I have to remind myself as you ride the back country that the hills depicted through your Go Pro appear to we viewers as much less steep than they really are. So good to have you back.

Another good one. For those of you wondering why the kid on the horseback did not come to Noraly's rescue as she struggled to cross the river, but stood there watching. One has to look at the world from his eyes, for he sees this tall gorgeous woman on a motorbike wearing all the armour, travelling on her own. Everything to him is intimidating yet he is in awe and he just doesn't know how to react. He was certainly thinking that Noraly was going to somehow fly over the obstacles. Fact is that if Noraly had asked him for help, I am sure he would have been happy to jump in to assist. Proud of you for doing it on your own without help...

Noraly has the editing skills to have us on the edge of our seat concerning her dilemma ----- only the knowledge that she got through this situation safely to edit and post keeps me from freaking out ----- Good Job !

I believe to endeavour an adventurous trip we really have to know your bike and equipment really well, plan your journey, time management, road assessment ,safety, awareness, languages, respect to you Noraly.

Noraly, I am so happy 😊 in my heart ❤️, to see how you and your channel have grown from India a few years back. It is the most successful thing I have witnessed on RU-vid. You spread so much love, joy, and educational material. I am sure it's just a matter of time ⏲️ before Travel Channel or Discovery scoops you up...and you become a hit television series that you deserve 👏. May God protect and be with you during every meter.

Isn't amazing how everyday across the planet we find new thing to see and appreciate. It also seems that all these different cultures are fill with kind, nice people. Noraly: You are providing total exposure to our planet and just how wonderful it really is. Big Smile here. Thank you

I've been watching you from day one you're on RU-vid. You involve me, you inspire me. Sooner or later I will do as you did, I will go around the world on a motorcycle. You are great Noraly! ♥

Itchy boots rides again..Rain..Fog...Mud & Rocks..Awesome Noraly..the adventure continues obstacles & all..

I’m binging from the start of Season 6 & just AMAZED how BRAVE you are to do this journey alone. You truly had & have Angels riding w/u. So glad you’re in the USA now! 👍❤️🙏

Noraly, I never want your videos to end. Your videos have so many different emotions, adventure, and to me (and I'm sure many others) a sense of comfort. Living vicariously through you. When you were in the river I kept thinking "you got this" and hoping the guy would come help, but knowing even if he didn't, you were going to make it thru. Girl you are such an inspiration. Thank you for bringing us along with you! Can't wait for the next episode. Safe travels and keep going! You and Alaska are champs!

Hello Noraly, I must admit I really worry about you all alone in all these very remote places. I pray for your safety and that no harm comes to you. STAY SAFE!!!

It’s so lush and beautiful there, whether in cloud shrouded mountain forests or riding along rich, red dirt tracks. The river crossing was incredible and I couldn’t help thinking, as you and Alaska negotiated the tight tums around walking bridges and trails, that she is like a new puppy, excited and attentive to her surroundings and to each new challenge, discovering what moto-life has to offer her. You proved in one day that she is the perfect bike for the journey.

Eu amo essa moça! Simpática, educada e com uma energia positiva permanente. Maior prova que ser uma pessoa do bem, abre portas. Que Deus esteja sempre em seu caminho.

Ecuador is so beautiful. Watching in 2023. Thank you for sharing this Noraly. 👏👏👍

I almost wanted to skip the river part, because I found myself almost getting exhausted just by watching you struggle 😂 Judging by the sneak peek on the next episode, I imagine I won´t be any less exhausted by watching that! Really looking forward to another great ride.

Wow, I felt like I was pushing Alaska through the river with you, a challenge. This country is so beautiful and you go to places where few are brave enough to tread. Thanks for sharing the adventure!

Today I got my licence for motorcycles, you inspired me, thank you so much from Croatia

Wow.... my respect and appreciation. I would not drive alone so without support, which could help in case of emergency these kind of routes. Even if you' ve seen the panic in your eyes during the river crossing, my utmost respect.

Hi Noraly and every "follower"....I've just "found You ”and this great video exploring biking adventure channel ".... It's the best I've ever seen. THANKS SO MUCH , 🤩 NORALY 😍!!!

It looked like a cold but sweating stage of the trip. We all pushing in the river, with you. And it seems that the new chapter won't be easy either. Best wishes for the roads to come.

The river crossing was “A piece of cake for Alaska”. Yes 👍🏼 “Duck park”. “A walk in the soup”. Your experience shows, Noraly. Excellent video! Inspiring.

Is it me, or is Noraly riding waaaay faster on the dirt? I think her rally experience in Africa may have influenced her default dirt speed. She's flying!

I'm a big fan of you Noraly. I know a lot about the equator (Quito, Mindo, Lake Quilotoa, etc..). I have a lot of respect for you and I admire your driving evolution, especially when you stopped driving heavy bikes. I also have a CRF 300L. I have some offroad experience that I would like to share with you: 1- Rivers are always crossed along the side in the direction of the current, for example, if the water comes from the left, always cross together the first stone on that side. Never get off the bike, because when the bike slides and deviates the stones and you keep the balance. always have a pair of dry socks to wear under a plastic bag and then put on wet boots. 2- in muddy terrain, loose rocks and slopes, it is better to lower the tire pressure (+- 14 psi). that way you have more traction. 3- The bag on top of the tank seems too big to me, try to fix it further forward, to have more space to move your body over the lower part of the tank, this is important for better control and balance. There are always small details to give you more confidence when driving, in this video I saw too many hesitations that usually lead to the bike losing its inertia. I wish you a great trip.

SUCH a joy to see the world through your eyes. The beauty of God's creation, and all the wonderful people you meet along the way, never ceases to amaze. Blessings and safe travels to you!

Wow, after that river crossing, that was quite a teaser at the end with that rocky hill. Can't wait for Wednesday. Alaska seems to be performing quite well! ❤️

A tip of the cap on this one.... besides rough roads... river crossings. I had a similar adventure in east Africa ... about knee deep.. 10 meters across.... I walked it first to feel for large rocks or deep spots..... once on the other side.... placed two rocks about five meters apart and used that as my goal for the crossing..... returned to the bike and proceeded.... the old 450 Ducati handled it well. Milk and cookies await in Minnesota ..... be safe... :)

Noraly, you are riding in such beautiful countryside down in South America. The cloud cover is amazing. The river crossing was definitely a challenge, but nothing that you and Alaska could not overcome! Your videos are wonderful and fun to watch. Thank you and ride safe my friend.

You my dear are a true inspiration. I have no doubt if you had to disassemble Alaska and reassemble her on the other side of the river, you would have done it and still had lunch in town before noon. Ride on Noraly !!!

Thanks for inspiring me. I lost my way in the maze of materialism. I'm selling up and going on a journey. Thanks Itchy.😊

While I have different ADV's and ATV's in my stable due to taking care of elderly parents who can no longer do things for themselves, my traveling and exploring has been cut back dramatically unless you call going to the grocery store and Costco an adventure 😂... Noraly, allows me to explore the world through her eyes.

The greenery of Ecuador is just spectacular so far. My favorite among all Noraly's seasons

Oh my god, you are so brave Noraly... An absolute legend, thumbs up to you on this... I feel so proud to be following you and talking about you and your adventure with my friends... My adrenaline has started pumping and am eagerly waiting for your upcoming adventure episodes... Just feel great to be knowing you... ALL THE VERY BEST👍👍👍

I started watching Noraly my 1st yr in Denmark I think winter 2015-16 where I happily only had to play piano to make a living. Now 6yrs and one comical deportation later (I wouldn't change a thing) I find myself back in the States Whidbey Island WA. So finally able to resume her adventures. Many a Danish winter's night was warmed for me and my old Staffordshire Terrier by Noraly's adventures. So now I happily resume.🙋☯️

Realmente espectacular que puedas conocer tantos sitios recónditos de nuestro hermoso país, se que no podrás conocerlo tan a fondo pero te agradecemos la visita y que vuelvas pronto.

Nice touch to add a little pre-view at the end. You're doing great things again, showing us the world we all share. Sometimes, sitting in my concrete apartment or in a traffic jam in my car on my way to work, I forget there's a wonderful world out there.

Loving this episodes where adventure and awesome landscapes are mixing each other... Noraly, those huge cans to carry milk are called "Lecheras" (from Leche, milk, lechera) at least where I live (Canary Islands) but I have seen on the internet in Ecuador is called "Bidón lechero"... I remember when I was a kid, like 30 years ago, to see those huge cans in the farms... nowadays if you have cows a truck goes to take the milk, you don't have to take the milk anywhere.... Anyway!!! enjoying this episodes!!

Noraly be like “no problem, let me show you how to cross the river” 😄

I just started watching this channel after being recommended to me for awhile. You have a lot of guts to do this trip by yourself and how and the heck did that mule cross that river so easily without breaking it's leg on those boulders in the river. Good stuff. Thanks.

So cute! There's a first time for everything. That's what I pictured would happen when you said the owner wasn't around when you left. This is my 3rd round of watching every video in order. I just can't get enough.

That river crossing shows why it’s necessary to have a light motorcycle, specially when traveling solo. Can’t imagine someone pushing or lifting a 500 pound adventure bike loaded with gear in the same conditions.

"Mindo is awake"... Mindo still seemed pretty sleepy as you left town! Thanks - always - for sharing your adventures with us, IB.

I totally salute you! As you dismounted Alaska in the middle of that river I was so hoping you'd find secure enough footing with your left leg amongst the slippery rocks that would enable you to bring your other leg down comfortably. You kept the bike up, you kept trying, and most importantly you kept your cool!!! Simply marvelous. ;^)

Another exhausting day after uni, coming home TIRED, start watching @itchyboots to relax to.

Dear Noraly, you are very welcome to Ecuador usually I am riding that route with my wife, nice landscape and very slippery roads. I am living in Quito and we are at your service whatever you need. Best Regards!!!!

Thank you for documenting this new adventure so quickly! The Honda was certainly the best choice!! We are all cheering for Itchy Boots..

Well done on not giving up on that river crossing ! I know the Rally isn't the heaviest bike and it feels light while your sitting on it but pushing it like that through the river is tough work and i'm speaking from experience

Hi Norali, i'm from Cali Colombia. Just to remind you that emergency services in this third world countries don't have helicopters and fancy ambulances so watchout on the twisty backroads. On the other hand, in Cali is Fanalca which the importer of Honda motorcycles for Colombia in case you need something. Good luck

Saw Savana at the museum in SA complete with your map and luggage. What wonderful memories. Thank you so much for sharing her!

Yet another beautiful ride. I like how you keep challenging yourself. When your stuck in the middle of a river all on your own. There’s only one way to go. Well done.

feels like a ten minutes episode. safe journey as always, Noraly! cheers!

Holding my breath for that river crossing‼️ Adventure right off the bat and we are loving it! Noraly and Alaska enjoying riding in the clouds is the best thing on a Monday 😃

My heart feels for the struggles you go through, but it is a noble adventure that we have the privilege of experiencing from the comfort of home. A thousand, million Thank Yous and Alaska, dear Noraly. 😍🤩🤠

In the 70's my brother and I took a trip in the Rocky Mountains. Old mining road, fire roads and hiking trails. He had a Triumph 650 and I had a BSA 441 Victor Special. On one over crossing the handle bar grip got so wet the motorcycle slipped out of it and fell completely underwater. Good there was two of us to get it out. Took a while to start it again. I admire you for doing this all alone. You are very wise in your choice of bikes! Best of luck!

Hooked on your videos found you 4 days ago have been binge watching since then already caught up on Mexico now started this series thanks for keeping it real…take care be safe from las vegas nevada

No matter how tough the roads and terrain are, Norali always wins! Although we are watching only the edited parts but genuine adventure riders only know how much of your body and mind drains out for all these but still it's great! 👍🏼👌🏼💖

And the real adventure begins again!!! Lush green forests, tricky water crossings, mud and some steep hills coming in next episode. Awesome!

It's been a long time (since Basanti) that you road over a walking bridge. Well done on the water crossing, and giving "Alaska" some of the older bikes tricks. Another cliff hanger ... Wednesday cannot come fast enough Noraly.

I can't help but think I'm watching a modern Amelia Earhart on two wheels.

You know it's going to be extra go when the video starts off with " Don't look at me like that. That's how he instructed me to do it....." Thank you so much for sharing your travels with us. I have seen so many places that I would never have been able to see. Prayers Flying for safe travels!

I’m exhausted after that river crossing and then the hill in the next episode Much Respect to you Noraly 💙💙💙

When I do these river crossings I leave all my luggage behind in order to reduce the risk of everything getting wet. Thanks for the great footage!

The river crossing was absolute beauty.. loved the way you dealt with it . You're doing great Noraly..

I have never met a braver lone women rider although I begin motorcycling 30 years ago. You are the inspiration for future rider Noraly. Tumb up from SG. BTW , Ecuador is my favourite country.

You have the uncanny ability to make me feel as if I were riding on the seat right there with you! I was literally huffing and puffing trying to push the bike through the river. It's the intimacy, and grand spectacle you are so able to blend together and take us along for the ride. Godspeed.

Noraly does it again, finds the most impossible roads (tracks) and battles her way forward whilst showing her command of languages and getting local folks to respond to her. Looks like this is quite a road ahead!!!

Saludos desde México Noraly, Gracias por llevarnos contigo por esos caminos, hemos estado encerrados muchos meses por la pandemia y viajar con la perspectiva de tus motos y tu particular manera de ver la diversidad geográfica y de los pueblos es inspirador . BuenasVenturas.. He vivido en zonas campesinas de Colombia, Guatemala y Chiapas. Looking forward to see you ride those roads in the coming months Pedro Glz

A perfect route for adventure ride, and a first test for Alaska 👍. I'm happy to watch your first day of adventure ride. Take care noraly n stay safe and healthy 👏. Hi from YA'AKOB 🇸🇬 Singapore

I don't know how to ride a bike, but I'm impressed by your obvious problem solving skills and experience!

I am from El Salvador and the portion where you cross my country popped up on my suggestions!! I was fascinated so I decided to watch the whole season 6.. I love how you already know what to say to people like "Que le vaya bien" thats not frace that you just come up with.. that means you have been around our countries a lot. I love it.. I'm exited to get to the part when you enter central America. I just cant stop watching!!! Keep it up

Wow that was a difficult crossing over the river.Well done.More excitement to come.This channel is riveting .Please take care.

" ... it's a piece of cake for Alaska ... " just after the river ... but just before the steep loose rock climb for next episode : impatient to see how it went. Keep safe 👍💪

Your tenacity is incomparable. So far Alaska seems to be the right choice for this trip.

Dear Noraly such an bad lock...this small river full of huge rocks and deep! But You managed again to conquer this obstacle!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉 May Gods Blessings shower You while crossing Equador....and of course May His Blessings guide You minute by minte🎉🎉🎉🎉

Hey Noraly- Per the CRF300L/Rally manual, the recommended fuel octane number is 86 or above RON. 87 is regular over here and actually a better choice for you than Super (90-93 octane) Especially at altitude, you don't need the extra knock resistance of the higher octane fuel. It makes the bike harder to start on a cold day and there is no benefit to the motor and no quality difference. Save the gas $$ and time looking for Super. Higher octane only benefits a motor made to take advantage of that. One of the benefits of the 300L is that it runs better on the lower octane fuels available in remote parts of the world. That is a gift compared to some of the high-strung bikes. Ride Safe!

Когда Норали, от усталости, начинает так томно и тяжело дышать, то я начинаю сильно переживать за неё и сразу думаю, чем могу ей помочь. Хочется срочно туда приехать и подержать её)) Какая женщина)

As an Ecuadorian I would not cross those bridges as you did haha. Thanks for showing me my country. I'm sure you'll love Quilotoa

Heart in the mouth stuff, when crossing the river. Well done, Noraly. My heart pounding just watching you! Great to see you back on the ‘road’!

My heart was pounding when you were crossing the river and I'm a ex desert racer (average). Good job.

The river crossing, the landscape, the attitude, I ❤️ all of it!

I just got into my first motorcycle accident yesterday after 5 years of riding. I can barely walk and my right hand is broken. Seeing this video made me smile today, thank you Noraly!

With all of the wonderful content out there I often find myself watching at 1.25x or 1.5x to get through it all. But with your channel I always watch at regular speed because I don't want it to end. Thank you for letting us experience the world through your eyes. Loving this trip so far.

WOW! My heart went racing just watching this adventure - completely hypnotic and wonderful. Thank you so much dear Noraly for letting us live vicariously through your brilliant and dedicated adventures.

I admire your courage conquering into unknown. I wish you the best in your journey.

Amazing, my heart rate started racing when you were crossing that river felt like I was there with you. Enjoying this series’s so much.
