Are you a motivational speaker because that sounds great and is spot on

👏👏👏👏Beautiful!

Absolutely well summed up!!

Dittos especially on the Dutch resilience part!!😅

And I'm exhausted !

Guardian angel always with Noraly🧑‍🔧👼🧚🏍🏍🏍

My thought exactly, i take mine apart in the comfort of my own garage and have to figure out how to put it back together... these people are so resourceful and skilled, all the best and enjoy the rest of your journey 😊

Totally Agree, Blessed Journey… ❤❤❤

@@Boediprasetya Soo why did the "guardian angel" let the bike fall in a freaking river in the first place? lmao

Some ? Nowadays, most. 🙂

We are very intelligent ppl no matter what u Europeans put out there about us if it wasn’t for corruption tribalism and colonization that all play a part in keeping Africa down we will rule the world just like we did a long time ago

@@julianaansah6367 calm down

@@julianaansah6367 colonialzation brought good things. No denial. Look at the countries undergoing thorough colonial impact. The look at the ones that didn't. Quality of life comparison shows the facts. Of course there's corruption too, like everywhere in various forms.

Well said my brother. The same applies for us here. But now, lots of electricians do not renew brushes nor solenoids on starters. They do not open alternators....just replace them. Most of our cars are Japanese and used parts arrive by the containerload. My electrician's father used to open and repair when I was a young man. Now his son replaces. There is hardly an engine job for the cars. Just buy a complete engine or head-and-block ! Regards. Trinidad & Tobago. West Indies. I salute the mechanics of Africa, India & Pakistan. These guys are good ! Respect. Trinidad & Tobago. West Indies.

If something bad happened, you were in the best place for it. Sounds weird to say it that way but it's true. They knew how to fix it. You didn't have to wait weeks for the parts to come. Those guys are what I call Shade Tree Mechanics. They can tear down an engine they've never seen because they know how everything actually works. Keep on riding and enjoying Africa.

This is why I always say that engineers/mechanics etc in less developed countries are BETTER than in developed countries. It is because of the reasons that you state. In developed countries, digitalization and complex tools have made the engineers/mechanics rely on them....and when they fail they are left clueless. This is because they have not learnt the BASICS. In less developed countries they truly understand the problem that is in front of them and they aware of the systematic approach of solving the issue. And as you say....you have to be inventive, since spare parts and resources are limited.

Congo is not death and distruction that we daily hear on the news. Noraly is serving African better than our embassies abroad. She is showing the world uncensored nature of Africa and Africans. Thank you Noraly!

You are brave and …. nuts

They must have motorcycles fall in the river quite often there ?

@@ronald8673 Is it supposed to be a joke or it´s just you falling and failing?

@@ronald8673 I was thinking the same thing! Either that mechanic is a magician or he probably has a lot of experience in that situation 😂

Those Congolese people are known to fix anything, you name it.@@braydonwooleyvlogs4832

@@braydonwooleyvlogs4832 Same here, if they cross the river with motorcycles on the canoe its bound to have happened before. If he has fixed it once before he knows exactly what's wrong i think?

Shes the best, bigtime🙂.

Great comment!! Short, sweet, true, and to the point!!❤

Africans have rather harsh experience abroad. Its extremely difficult for an African to enter a village abroad(West, parts of Asia) and get this kind of hospitality.

The African subconsciously knows they are the original humans, if they don't provide support that will be the end of all humans. The others don't have that originality in the DNA so they don't feel the need to provide that support which is not needed for the survival humans. In fact pygmies are the most original humans in existence and they will never do anything to harm anyone, its in their DNA.

TBH This is well put.If only the whole world was like this....

Yes , one strong girl love your videos

The Angels def are there every time she needs them.

Ill second that

Been enjoying these vids though C's endless reliance on other people to rescue her and get her out of trouble sometimes feels a bit off… a little bit of first world entitlement. Why not learn to fix your own bike before taking off into remote places? Nevertheless, hats off to the spirit of adventure.

@@ottowoo9390 Everybody, everywhere relies on the people who have more expertise than they do. Maybe it makes you reliant on others in more situations, but this isn't a bad thing. Adversity brings people together, and watching someone fix their own motorcycle on the side of the road, while the people of the country that they are visiting pass them by wouldn't be terribly interesting.

@@ottowoo9390 I see where you're coming from, but in the third world the culture is to help others. Also it means that they make extra income, which is so important when your family lives on a shoestring. I live part of the time in a third world country, that of my partner, and the motorbike is the way to get around. I have watched local experts fix our bike and fridge, fashioning spares that they do not have. We live in a non-foriegner area and I am accepted.

Very stupid comment that's not a jungle that's a city or nearby a city when it come to africa in you mind is always jungle or savanah and africa is a continent

@@badaboys2098 I think you're taking the comment out of context. I sensed no disrespect to Africa. Noraly just had to cross a river in a pirogue and had her bike dumped upside down the river. In general this scenario can't be compared to even a small town in western world. The comment was a big compliment to the people involved in finding the mechanic, and the mechanic himself coming out at night. And yes sadly that is not so easy to find these days in modern western areas. Peace!

​@@badaboys2098it is jungle compared to the environment she used to, the jungle is beautiful and lucky to live in compared to the desert

@jasonzerbini2375 Some people stroll through the comment section to find something to get angry about. She's clearly complementing the resourcefulness and ingenuity of the mechanic, in what is for all intent and purposes a very remote part of the world

@@badaboys2098 He is right thought, obviously even the nearest cities in that part don't have amenities. ..

They are real mechanics So sad that they are now a dying breed in "first world" countries Long live true old school mechanical knowledge

Somewhere in the dark in the middle of fkn CONGO is probably even worse than in the middle of fkn nowhere LOL

@@tomtom8786 Lol.... your name is even a GPS system. Thnx for the location.

no one thought maybe these guys pushed it on purpose so the mechanic on the other side would have something to work on and earn few bucks ;)

@@creatin11Evil minds think alike

​@creatin11 you know canoes are not made for carrying motorcycles right? Lol. And once a bike starts falling, it's very heavy to stop it. Imagine trying to inside a canoe, no chance

hahaha ....

you noticed the amazing musical editing in the vid's by Noraly herself for extra emotional energy and suspense, ... proud to be dutch! Goed gedaan Noortje;-)

Because she shows why the bike got dirty in the first place

😂

African are angels

That's the world

Because Noraly is an Angel

Noraly's personality is a big part of the reason she has such good experiences with people. Also Africans seem to be much friendlier than people in the rich world. There's a lesson there.

All humans are inherently good, i love us so much :)

not only in Perth...!...all over the world...sometimes mechanics don't want to fix "small" problems, only the big ones that give them more money..

first world county only knows making the movies like "Jemes Bond" in realty its a Puppet show :)

You're right, I think it's all over Western Nations, it's only old Few mechanics really know how to repair machines ie Bikes or lawn mowers or generators. And they are dam expensive if the job is done. Years back I brought to Africa, mechanical failed bikes, gas & diesel machines and generators from USA, they were all repaired fine with almost to part replacement needed. The labour payment was the most cheapest. Wondered!

same here in America insurance will right it off😢

Loved your comment! The same is true here in Massachusetts in the U.S.

I know, right!

I understand you think this way. Usually it's when you push yourself outside the societal norms, outside your comfort zone, outside the "rules" you find yourself, you "live", and that my friend is what she is doing. She is a special breed few will understand, but I understand her way.

I understand what you're saying about taking risks. But the way Noraly travels, it's never going to be risk free. There's a million things that could go wrong. I think she's pretty good at calculated risks, it's amazing the places she's been and the situations she's lived to tell about. She's truly one of a kind.

As a re-newbie beginner road-rider after a 50 year layoff, my neighbors and extended family say pretty much the same about me as @user-vg7zu2sw6v says about Noraly. My experiences are nowhere as adventuresome as Itchy Boots, but the living angels are everywhere. First day out on my new machine, tipped over twice with full panniers, and a bike I hadn't had to pick up even unloaded. Full tank and luggage much more than I could handle. Didn't take a minute for help to get me back up. Over the next thousand miles, happened a total of seven times. Yes I know what was doing it, but instincts are hard to retrain. Past experience was getting in the way of learning as well. Lots to un-learn and new to learn. Every time, I would barely have time to asses ignition/kickstand/gear before someone was picking it up. And that's in the USA where we are not known for common sense (me as an example) or charity, until you get to know a few "common" citizens. Ride On Noraly!

To risk your life , is to feel fully alive

"safety should come first' ,,if she thought like that she'd be doing what you're doing sitting in a comfortable home watching Tv and eating ice cream as the world goes by. She is escaping the trap of obsessing over accumulating as many material possessions as possible and removing all risk from daily life

Its called field expediency this was pounded in to my head many years ago in Vietnam as a combat engineer some things you never forget

A nice fancy term@@knuckles-3386 field expediency 😊

Same is true in Haiti I have found no diagnostics no repair manuals diagnosed skid steer wiring short to MCU I was amazed.

Yes...STUNNINGLY valuable.

i love the way she edits the musical/emotional charged score of the video, next to the amazing footage that keep me glued to the screen;-)

Africa is a totally underrated continent in western world. Africa is not like one country. There are 2000 languages and cultures, and all are different. Most of the borders were drawn by Europeans.

Thank you! Africa loves you too

She would have to become a mother first lol

Someday she’ll find someone special to share her incredible story with ❤

@@TheGingukhe’s 70 …no need for the shade ,just a little old fashioned,by the way it was men ho fixed the bike,its men who carry/lift the bike when it falls over or needs to go in a canoe….never underestimate a man…..BUT Noraly is truely amazing that’s for sure

@@TheGinguk never underestimate the Dutch spirit;-)

Yes why is Honda so quiet ? Someone somewhere in Honda is not doing their job properly for the benefit of humanity 🧐🌎

@@TembaNcube I bet that Honda will buy Alaska when the trip is finished and show it off around the world. Many years ago an English man rode a Triumph around the world and his bike appeared in many shows around the world afterwards.

@@-W8WHATquite the opposite 😂 remember when I had engine issues in Liberia, I contacted Honda, to ask for help. Their solution was that I should buy a new bike in the Netherlands, let a friend take the engine out and ship it to Africa and replace the engine. I was like: 🙄 are you kidding me 🤣 So no, Honda doesn’t care at all about me getting stranded in the jungle in Africa at all. Luckily, the local mechanics here care a lot!! 🔥

@@ItchyBoots Man that's disappointing to hear. You'd think Honda could step up in a situation like that----primarily out of common decency but also because it would be a public relations coup for them. They missed the boat there I think---just like the time you got crap service at a Honda dealership in the Yukon.

Japanese don’t care much about advertising for their products, they just sell you the top quality and your on your own .

Cute comment from the heart! Thx

Hi. I am a motorcyclist for 51 years and haven't missed an episode in all her series. You should check them out. Reminds me of some of our Caribbean women. I am 68. Trinidad & Tobago. West Indies.

ketsiadorce your comment made me laugh, in a good way. Love your self definition of who you are....and I don't doubt it for a second! Peace!

Good 👍👍

Hey @ebentee , is in your village have an internet? How is the speed of internet? Is it terrible? Just curious.

🎶 🎵 it's time for Africa 🎶 🎵

​@@m.faldianaffandy4565😂😂😂😂😂 you think there is no internet in Africa?

Was that you in a recent video of hers?

The people are a favourite part of my watching experience as well as cool and calm Noraly. It certainly gives you the real African kindness, not what main stream try to portray. I get excited when there is a new episode .

Yes. Noraly's encounters help restore my faith in humanity. She even help bring justice to a corrupt cop.

How right you are. How many times have I said to myself 'she must be okay, she's uploaded this'.

She would upload from a hospital bed ❤️❤️❤️✅

As I said in my reply to @user-vg7zu2sw6v above, the living angels are everywhere. Don't bet your life on them, but I've been "rescued' lots of times. Nothing like Noraly, but I can empathize.

She doesn't compel anyone. It's just the way the people are. Don't take that away from them. Kind people all over Africa

Let's appreciate the kindness of locals that she meets. It would be naive to take them as docile people.

​@@alpha_visionWell said.

I do appreciate Noraly's communication skills She navigates easily because she reads the situation so well. I salute her. More love from South Africa . We learn more about our Continent from your travels. Thank you and may you be blessed.

You love watching your local police officer being exposed??

Proud and honored of your like, Noraly, thank you

oh wow. INfectious enthusiasm. :-) stay safe and "Let's go!" ^^

Tought as much. Mud, ruts and all the deeper puddles of water. Unfazed she conquered these.

Well, I didn't sense _fear_ in her voice either, but definitely serious concern! And her experience and intuition were right that it wouldn't go smoothly.

@@mramsch The experienced traveller knows that the harried traveller is bound to have some botch-up happening. I'm glad it 'been recoverable, and I'm glad Noraly got her wheels back in a rollable state. The experienced traveller also knows that sometimes weird stuff happens. On top of crazy stuff. So, I think you are perfectly right. ;)

I've read probably thousands of comments from people around the world and there have been many that state what you have. Beyond imagination, belief, etc. We watch not just where she goes but the exceptional role model and kind, compassionate heart she exhibits within a the tough exterior. She doesn't cuss in the worst situations and is always a shining light, healing, teaching, and inspiring many. Sometimes the reality of its magnificence isn't obvious in current time. As time goes on more will realize the true greatness of what she has accomplished. Simply put, no one can be compared to Noraly, and Noraly can be compared to no one. Peace!

Agreed 👍

anyone who has travelled through africa will tell you that this is is very common.

Yes, kudos to the fine mechanic.

It's until recently that we have Chinese bikes in Africa. Most bikes were Yamaha and Suzuki

@@leonardbofuan5448 yes,but most used carburettors,this guy is young,unless he worked at a big distributor he would not get much practice on fuel injection engines. I am talking from experience, with friends that have KTM's and such.

I've been thinking the same. Tons of local food and she never (apparently) gets so much as a stomach ache. Astounding constitution.

You presume that's mud on the bike don't you 😂

That's a good observation. She must have a strong constitution.

As someone who has traveled quite a bit I always wondered the same thing. Somebody traveling through so many places must find themselves in some desperate gastric situations.😊

I am on the same page like you do. Thinking this girl is really a steel stomach eating every where an every thing she finds wow But I also noticed she is very careful when she can choose what to eat eventhogh she has all my respect in evrything she does. Thanks a lot Noraly for what you share with us wonderful adventures just to have an idea what does it mean to be there in those amazing places that you visit. 🎉

It was tense right from the beginning , then running out of daylight , a canoe ride , tense music , hell , we were all " shattered " by the end. haha.

Very poetic. Describes her very well.

Well said! Agree 100% We ❤Noraly!

A wordsmith no less. Brilliant comment. Respect....!

Love it! 💙Needs a title. ‘The Congo Itch’?

Noraly, I hope you see this. A brilliant poem, just for you
