An unboxing, and a word from our sponsor. 
. I like how’s she’s low key on Her sponsor, a very brief mention a quick look at features end of story.
I suppose she donates her old gear or sends it back home....that part is the unknown....will have to check her blog.

Okay, the border guards let Noraly in, but they missed the 52,000 folks riding in with her : )

52,000 illegal border crossings may be under-reported, as time goes on....
At least her subscribers outnumber that, by far, as we all know.
(Maybe most subbers will delay their entry, so as not to arouse undue suspicion.)

I was quoting the "view count" at the time ... the view count is now at 75,000 : )

I kinda figured, but just had to blab it anyway.
As for all of us illegal border crossers, there will always be the "early adopters". You know, bell curve and all that.

I had never made a comment about this girl, but she must trust this bike with her life or she had lost a screw as we say in our Cuba (Le falta un tornillo).
Any way. I envy her.
Honda must see these videos and give her a bike for free.

This is where I think Royal Enfield dropped the ball. She is the ultimate ambassador, and they missed out on a major player. It was an independant Dutch retailer that worked out a deal for her second bike, R E should have stepped in and sponsored her for ALL her rides. Having said that, it's possible they may have approached her and she turned them down, that's an unknown. The Dutch company Revit sponsors her riding gear but that appears to be it ( she's low key about that). All the rest of the gear she buys herself (from her earnings) which keeps her independent and not beholding to anybody but herself.

We've seen the sponsored rides - good and bad - starting with Long Way Round.

I saw a facebook chart going from 1955-2020 and RE was the top seller until 197?Yeah.......they're not a huge, rich, global company.......like Royal Enfield!!!!
Ya and they were rather picky about their sponsors...KTM showed them the door. haha
I really like that about her. She's not a "Product Placement Person" dropping a sponsor name at every turn. Yeah we see REVIT in big letters on her gear and she mentioned that they sponsor her apparel but that's it. It's not like she's hawking something on QVC. I hoping we see a bigger tank put on Savannah. She mentioned it but I don't know if she ordered one.

Wonder if the guy that 'showed them the door' still works there?
Maybe he was shown the door!!!

She said it was too costly, and very hard to get in Africa. It would have to come from Europe. She opted for the bladders instead.
I remember her saying it would take a long time to get to her and thought the bladders were just a stop-gap. Oh well another dream shattered.

I could be mistaken, not the first time I was.
