Yes, she spent considerable time in mining in Sth America and Australia.

Good morning Internet...it's Shix Sherty in the morning - Velkom back to the Shannel...that charming Dutch accent!

She's riding almost all offroad thru Argentina...I hope she doesn't skip some of the best parts of Patagonia...Bariloc he, La Ruta de 7 Lagos, Salta, Cordoba, Mendoza ( wine country)...so much to see,but then she'll miss all of the latitudes in Chile too unless she goes back and forth across the border from time to time.

Fun to watch indeed...

She started in Buenos Aires and has taken a month to go south to Ushuaia. I believe her plan is to northbound inland along the mountains bouncing back and forth between Argentina and Chile. Watch carefully. Some of that cute Dutch accent comes from a tongue piercing. Her GoPro footage and drone usage are really quite good. Nice to be bouncing back and forth between the cameras.

Some folks with speech impediments would give a great deal to be able to talk clearly. Why others GIVE THEMSELVES a speech impediment has always been beyond me. When I hear a retail clerk or waiter/waitress slurring their words, I think "Gee, I'm sorry that they have this problem, but they're trying hard, good for them"; then I see the little gold bead and think ... well, best to stop there.

My question is, how does she fly the drone that apparently follows her as she rides?

I believe some of the better drones have software to do that, pretty clever

She really loves dirt roads.

steven c · « **Reply #67 on:** November 21, 2019, 04:32:27 PM »

She mentions in one of her videos that the follow feature didn't work well so she is controlling it as she rides. Maybe she has figured it out. When I fly mine I seem to always fly into the side of my house.

Bud · « **Reply #68 on:** November 21, 2019, 07:20:29 PM »

She rides one day and makes the video the next day basically traveling every other day. She said she makes the videos without help from anyone. She said she bought some expensive software for this trip that is harder to use but the end product is better.

If she can fly a drone and ride a motorcycle at the same time then she needs to join Cirque du Soleil.

For those who had been following her on YouTube, Noraly is back from vacation and posting again. Episode 51 aired today. She is reducing to three posts per week, M-W-F. Keep up now! Still in Argentina but nearing Bolivia.

Good news. after seeing it here I got hooked on her travels. season 2 is much improved over the first. she was however pushing way too hard. almost all off road on stuff few men would try on a real dirt bike much less a fully loaded RE.

Ya, Im sure the time she took off was most welcome!!! I do enjoy her vids. That bright, positive outlook she has is refreshing.

nobleswood · « **Reply #74 on:** February 10, 2020, 03:31:14 PM »

Saw that she was back at lunchtime.

By the time I had watched the 18 min video the 'Likes had gone from 2.3K to 3.4 K and the number of views around 131K. All this about 1 hour after she posted !

She's popular.

Not always what someone who likes being by themselves would want.

twowheeladdict · « **Reply #76 on:** February 11, 2020, 05:43:56 AM »

I cannot help but smile when I watch her videos. She is always a bright shining light with her positive attitude and childlike wonderment. Only grumpy depressed people who want to wallow in their sadness would not like her videos.

I am always trying to think of parallels in the US to the scenery she is experiencing each day. It really reminds me of how much the US has to offer for the motorcyclist.

Yep, she's always cheerful even when the going gets tough and things don't work out as expected..just like a normal bike trip. I've really been impressed by the Royal Enfield, too. She has been in *many* places where you wouldn't want to have a breakdown..Dhanno just keeps on keeping on.

Are tongue studs just for aesthetics, or do they have alternate purposes??

Just watched today's episode and get worn out just watching the rough stone and mud flat crap she is rideing through. She is one tough cookie and the Himi just seems to take it all in stride and is proving to be very reliable. Impressive.

Yes, good advice Dusty.
How does one achieve that feat, do you need to remove it...?

Kiwi_Roy · « **Reply #85 on:** February 12, 2020, 04:19:12 PM »

When I'm away from home I look for the best roads to reduce the risk Noraly on the other hand seems to thrive on risky surfaces.
I have been following her since she left India. She is an experienced traveler who can make a simple journey interesting.

My heart skipped a beat or two when the bike started heading towards the edge of those cliffs with washouts.

Clearly, among her contemporaries she is royalty..
I like her stuff more than the pole dancer shiela with the 8’ legs doing soft porn on the BMW.
There’s just something I don’t see in her stuff, that I do in Ewan and Charley...et al.
I know I should be extremely impressed and most of me is, but it is a bit like eating a ham cheese and tomato sandwich, without salt and pepper.
Still good though...
And yes....before you say it..
Makes my stuff look weak and anaemic...
Green eyed monster in me perhaps..?

Probably.

Funny you mention Ewan and Charley. I wonder how much I would have enjoyed their documentaries 15 - 26 minutes at a time. I tried watching Long Way Around, but it just didn't keep my interest.

Noraly has a quality about her that isn't jaded. Like she is tasting ice cream for the first time in every video.

PJPR01 · « **Reply #89 on:** February 14, 2020, 09:18:14 AM »

Velkom back to the shanel...it's shix sherty in the morning again! :)

Today it's going to be extremely hot, so we'll have a typical Argentine breakfast, hee hee, a bit of coffee and facturas (Argentine croissants) and then we'll ride for a bit until the rains start.

Got new shoes for Dhanno, ready to rock!

Have fun Noraly! Tot ziens!
