Itchy Boots

The caves were awsome! throught that clip I was thinking about that mine she went down in Argentina, how much easier it was for her to navigate this one. I concur on the drone footage and her 360 camera.

Amazing views!
At one point I thought they would slide the bike under the transport to get by, nice of them to detach the rig to let her pass.
I guess we should have Ostrich eggs for breakfast at our stock events....though Uncle Phill might be able to polish one all by himself... apologies in advance to UP. ;)

and the guy is on a lunch break when she shows up....won't even make her lunch! I know if Noraly walked into my establishment... I would drop everything and cater to her needs....the girl was hungry.... I mean... she made a special trip...it was supposed to be the best around...it certainly will NOT get a good rating on trip advisor! ;)
The mountain pass was something else...just grand
 
I always wonder about encountering a vehicle coming the other way while riding those narrow roads, especially around corners. The passes don't look wide enough for two vehicles to pass; there must be spots that one vehicle has to back up to so they can get around each other.

Yes normally there are pockets to back up into. Also, I know there's a practice to honk before entering a blind corner to let know that you're there. I'm almost got smashed my left (wide-ass BMW) pannier by a speeding car around a blind corner in Bosnia-Herzegovina.

I enjoy exploring little one-lane passes in the Alps. There are many times when you cannot see around the turn on these tight little roads. I will use my horn on some of these roads if it is clear that the road is too narrow (like carved into a cliif side) for a bike and a car to pass by each other with no place to pull over. I frequently hear horns beeping on the road up ahead, or behind, on these roads. Honking the horn is common practice in many Alps countries.

The general rule seems to be that if two vehicles encounter one another on a steep road and can not pass - the driver going downhill is the one who has to back up until they can pull over safely. I think the theory is that they have more control backing uphill than a driver might have backing downhill. Having said all that my experience is that on those very rare occassions when a car and motorcycle cannot squeeze by the car tends to back up, even downhill, knowing that the motorcycle cannot easily back up.

One thing to keep mind ... some of her cameras are wide angle [lenses] at default, so distorts the "wide-ness" of stuff around the periphery ...
 
I just watched the last four episodes. WOW. Beautiful country. Those caves were incredible. I'll go back and watch that and the drone footage again.

Noraly is many things... But a domestic Goddess not so much. Got to give her a D- for spatial relationships.

"We have an egg situation.." made me laugh. Really laugh. Even with whatever lens perspective we were dealing with I could see all that egg was not going to fit in the bowl. "Let's just pretend that never happened". I don't know that I could eat even 12eggs worth of scrambled eggs let along 24 but I'd give it a go.

And visiting Ronnies made me laugh again. "This is not... what you think." When she said "I'm really hungry" I was thinking maybe Ronnie would share. :rofl1: But really... Where's that Southern Africa hospitality. He could have rustled up some lunch and not just some of that sammich.

Season 5 has been pretty awesome.

Has anyone reached out to her about our group’s fascination with her videos?

We're not the only ones.
So, no -- I doubt it.
Think about it, reading the Comments on her YT channel -- nearly 700,000 subscribers, she can't possibly acknowledge / answer everyone.
Tons of admirers.
We're special.
Just like everyone else. :rofl1:
