Not the first female, or the last, to gain attention from being easy to look at.
That's where it stops for many.
But....she has knowledge, a personality, and the character to back it all up.
Might say the complete package.
Just watched her motocross video. She did really well on the big 450 and on a wet track too. Her trials riding experience looks like it helped in correcting in the slides. Would like to see what she would have done on one of those "Big Wheel 85s".
Young Jayson is now at 5.12K subscribers. That is just too cool.
Came across this channel recently. An excellent primer on the Royal Enfield Himalayan, Noraly's original two bikes. This guy bought one in the last month or so, and gives a rather unbiased review of the good, the bad, and the ugly of the bike, the shortfalls and where it excels. Much, much better intro to the bike than other videos where someone test drives a bike for a few hours and plops something on YouTube. Or somebody who buys one and buys it for the wrong reasons and purposes and then gives a bad review.
His videos are top-notch in terms of quality and about as objective as anything I've seen. I'll admit that the idea of a bike with only 24 bhp doesn't sound terribly attractive but the things you can do with these relatively low-cost adventure bikes that are seemingly bullet-proof is intriguing.
Apparently, this bike is quite popular, the pre-order for the American market selling out in less than 24hrs.

I've got a feeling she's going to abandon the Himalayan. She talked about further upgrades to the Honda for when she does her next adventure. That's just a hunch
I think she pretty much already has, bringing back Dhanno from Peru mostly for her personal belongings and sentimental value of the bike, as it's questionable whether it made financial sense to get it shipped back to the Netherlands. The CB500X is just a much more capable highway bike and adept for covering distance on European roads. For trails and light offroad stuff, and the real hairy roads she road on in Asia the Himalayan was ideal.
She really is a tough cookie in a very nice and friendly and endlessly optimistic way. Her mental and physical resilience is quite remarkable.
All the best to her and to the young lad on the motocross bike!

BTW - the young lad is now up to nearly 6000 subscribers - good on him.
She mentioned she's obligated to get it out of Peru as it was there under temporary permit of some nature. She had to get permission to keep it there when she was exfil-ed.
Noraly does have some sway. I was looking at the comments and a ton of them (more than I wanted to scroll) said some variation of "Noraly sent me!" What a sweet thing for her to do. I thought he'd get a few subscribers but I didn't think it would be that many.
She also said that it didn't really make financial sense for her to have it shipped from Lima, Peru as the costs were prohibitive to what the bike is worth, though she didn't mention the figure. The alternative was to just forfeit the bike but I guess she didn't want to do that either.
Don't bet on it. For those who don't follow her Facebook page, her next video is her flattracking
Here's a quote from that page
They actually also use Himalayans for this type of riding, so who knows, perhaps Dhanno is going to get a make-over once she returns back here (latest update: Dhanno is crated and on a ship. Expected arrival: end of this year!).

This young lady does not have any fun at all! Though the eyes that peak above the tube and peer through the helmet betray that.
Another fun episode in getting dirty. Flat tracking.
Enjoy

Noraly learns to drift in Flat Track racing. Rev'it have provided her with a very nice, custom fit racing suit.
Some interesting shots with the 360 GoPro MAX

Did anyone else notice some "boys" were positioning for video / photo of Noraly??
(obviously they knew she was showing up that day)

Wow. Season 4 has not been disappointing in the slightest. I thought with her not being on the road that I'd have to readjust my expectations. But these "home" videos have been a blast. Though I wouldn't mind some drone footage.

There was like a 5 second bit of drone footage in today’s episode.......
I really enjoyed this episode. Her personality comes through. Even on a rainy day, she's excited, and I don't get the feeling it is a put on for the video. I think she totally loves motorcycling in any form.
