Itchy Boots

That makes more sense.
Can't wait to watch it; as I'm at work, maybe I can see it at lunch.
Darnit! I wanna see it now!

EDIT: No spoilers! I'll see the bike after a while.
Yeah, you clowns... I'll just have to quit watching this thread, 'cuz somebody's gonna blab it.
 
I just hope that she doesn't end up with a couple of hundred viewers trying to tag along as she goes through the US and Canada.
Viewers is one thing, but wannabe paparazzi and intruders / interlopers is something else. I can see her logic in this (she's explained it before), but just imagine all the folks who want a selfie with her. Definitely disruptions.
But really, who WOULDN'T want to meet her?
I know, some wouldn't. But those ones are just weird.
 
Her video's are published a few weeks later than they are filmed, probably to avoid unwanted fan encounters. My guess is she is already there travelling, despite YouTube showing her still in Holland prepping the bike.
 
OK, pressure's off you folks.
Early lunch, Alaska is out of the bag now, and I know as much as anyone after watching Season 6, Ep 1.
Go, Noraly!
Not much chance of her swinging through Central Alabama, from her route in South America to northern North America, so I'll watch from a distance.
While the stock shock may be softish, she took on some pretty gnarly tracks with the stocker on Savannah all loaded down, so there won't likely be a great big difference.
Excited to watch again.

Quite well aware of that. She needs editing time and also needs internet connection to upload. I'm sure she sometimes has to upload a couple of videos at a time and then schedule them publishing. Once one has an idea of how far she is traveling each day one can get a good idea of where she will be in real time. There will be options depending on which side of the Rockies she wants to travel. Very few options on that last leg into Alaska. I'm looking forward to the new series. I'll have to pay more attention to her blog as well.

Just started watching her Revzilla interview of a couple weeks ago. Was happy to run across this. So far a bit disappointed with the guestions from the Revzilla guys, but after a bite to eat, it may get better. Always good to hear from Noraly. She's back.... Yay!
Glad to hear about plans to finish her Alaska trip.

I agree, but I think Noraly has already learned how stay ahead of the crowds. Her videos are now all post-dated. It would not surprise me if she is already in Bolivia.

It will be interesting to see how long she plans to ride in the USA and Canada.
 

Note that Noraly says she is "packing for a year of riding". Her original plan was to take two years to ride from Ushuaia to Alaska so my guess is she is planning to be in Alaska in August of 2022.

Maybe we should invite her to visit us at NatSTOC in June!
 
Well, she's obviously a good fit for the RevIt!, or the other way 'round. I bought the Dakar jacket / pants a few years ago, and I was dismayed at the TINY! pockets on the dang jacket... I knew right away they were designed by and for smaller Euro-sized people. Like Noraly. For me, I can barely get three fingers in the "cargo" pockets on the front.
My reflective striping, the rubberized logos, the wraparound neck piece which quickly stretched and became useless... I had numerous issues and complaints with mine, which had I known would happen, I would have saved myself nearly $1000 between the top / bottom. I guess I bought them based on a few reviews while they were still quite new. Lesson learned...
I notice Noraly has dumped the ProShot camera mount she's been using; I'll have to look around for her Season 6 equipment / gear list, because this new mount is very different. This new mount appears to protrude quite a bit below the chinbar, unlike the ProShot, but doesn't appear to be a factor until she takes off her helmet and sets it down somewhere. It's not in the way of her face, or below her mouth. Very near the end of the video, when she's wrapping it up, you can pause and see a little bit about how this new mount is situtated.
The Mosko tankbag appears to be right up against her stomach / chest, when you see it from the handlebar-mounted camera view, but this may be a distorted / compressed effect from the GoPro, and we don't yet have any shots of her position from the side view.
Also, the new Mosko luggage appears to be either a newer upgrade / version, or maybe a completely different model number; I am aware she said she'll be travelling much lighter this season, and we didn't see the side cases with the inserts in them yet. I'm pretty sold on the Mosko soft luggage over my previous Wolfman preference, but my GOSH! are they pricey. Some version of them will adorn my next dualsport, anyway. And looking at their website, as I have been since finding Noraly, it seems Mosko only does limited production runs, so it's almost as if you don't order their gear at time of release, they won't have excess stock throughout the year. If you're not early at product launch, you basically sign up for announcement of the next shipment. And I don't know of any stocking dealers, although there may be some... seems like their model is to keep their distribution, and more profit in-house, rather than try to support a dealer network.
Y'all let me know if I'm in error about this.
The paint job on the helmet is quite snazzy. I can only imagine how much money she saves with the sponsors... Garmin, RevIt!, Arai... but I'm glad to see she's doing well, she's healthy, and I'm glad she finds enough success to keep travelling, vlogging, sharing, growing, and doing what she does.

In the past seasons I’m pleased how she has dealt with her sponsors (though they may not be of her, the jury is out) meaning she’s not in our face with her sponsors, the odd feature video like today. We might see a logo in a frame in a brief amount of time.

You said it well.
 
I've tried a bunch of gear over the years and have found the REV'IT jackets in particular to work best for me - so I always find it interesting to see what REV'IT gear Noraly is using. I enjoyed watching her tour of the REV'IT headquarters. I also found it interesting that certain parts of the facility were off-limits so as to not show potential new products in development for 2023 and beyond. It should be fun to watch her progress through the Americas.
 
So I came across this "news" article.
Goats Wear Covid Face Masks in Bizarre Footage
Villagers say they masked goats to protect against Omicron variant.​

Now listen to the voice of the woman doing the recording. I heard it, then thought...I've heard that voice before. Where? Norally?! I don't know. I didn't watch the entire video, but just skipped through hoping to catch a shot of the woman doing the filming. Wasn't she in that area?

I tried to link the video here as a "media" insert, but it doesn't look like I can. Here's a direct link to the video.

No, Norally was never in Rwanda. The northern border of Botswana is a thousand miles south of Rwanda.
