It’s so good to be back here!! Meet my new bestie ‘Alaska’! 😍 Many of you guessed it right!! Tomorrow, I’ll release a new blog on www.itchyboots.com where I explain in more detail why I chose this bike and not another adventure bike 😋 LET’s GO!!
Good to hear your back on the road again with a new motorcycle. I wish my father-in-law was still alive to see your new episodes. He passed away this past January and loved watching you. He was actually buried with one of your signature "Itchy Boots" face coverings and always supported you and bought your merch... RIP Roger Schmidt
Stop off in Texas on your way to Alaska and I’ll throw some parts on it haha. For real though you can change the rear shock and keep it low if you want. I’m working with race tech for my crf300l. I’ve got a custom shock getting built and a spring with revalve kit for the forks. The suspension is silly on these 300s.
Greetings from Texas, I found you about a week ago (Sept. 2022) and have been binge watching Season 1, 2 and 6. I'm not a motor cyclist but I can't stop watching Loraly's exploits around the world. She is amazing in her own right but taking us along on her YouTube video journey reveals the best of her. I am 80 and I feel like I am her phantom sidekick enjoying the world and her amazing personality. Many have said she should be recognized as a world ambassador and I agree. Thanks for being the delightful influence that you always seem to be. I'll be watching. Best wishes Loraly and "Let's go".
As you make your way north, to Alaska, having lived there for 27 years I can highly recommend a publication called the "Milepost". I'm not sure if they have an electronic edition yet, and the hardcopy may be a bit large for your travels, but the nice thing about this book is that it has information about every "road" in Alaska, mile by mile. Things such as points of interest, fuel (as you've seen from your travels, fuel is not always available when and where you need it), lodging etc.. I am so envious of your adventures and am enjoying traveling along with you on your life journey.
Lovely to see you again, congratulations on your new bike! We’ve missed you!
Outside of family members there are few people I have been so excited to see again! I love following your adventures.
I bought the CRF 300L this year, i weigh 110kg and without any suspension mods we have been on some crazy offroad/onroad adventures, having said that I would have bought the same bike you did had I been able to get one. On your way to Alaska you have to come through Prince George, British Columbia, Canada I am a huge fan of your channel! If you need a place to stay, my family, and my door is open for you. We will have the kettle on and a warm bed and fire ready to welcome you. Anything you need we are at your disposal.
Noraly, I'm 70yrs young and I turned to the X300 Versys from 750 & 1000cc Aprilia's in 2018. Haven't regretted it one bit. I'm having a ball touring with it. This summer with a friend I went to Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Colorado. Averaged 64 mpg. Never wanted more power, stayed away from interstates. Your going to love it. Looking so forward to seeing you again. God bless you. On the rear shock, try HyperPro, not that expensive. I got one for my X300, much improvement.
You can't go wrong with a Honda in my opinion. Started out 50 years ago on a Honda CT70 then to a ST90. I've been riding the same Honda XL250R since 1984 that I bought new and it has over 20,000 kilometers on it. It's never once failed me or failed to go where I wanted to go. A couple years ago I added another Honda when I purchased a new XR650L and it's been amazing. Relatively light weight and powerful as far as I'm concerned. I use it for trail riding as well as longer distance trips. A trip to Alaska would be awesome so I hope you make it this time! I also think riding the TAT (Trans America Trail) would be awesome. The bike shop you purchased Alaska from has a huge inventory. In Oregon where I live the local Honda dealer is basically out of bikes and has no idea when they will get any. They are struggling with spare parts too due to supply chain problems. Man I hope this mess gets straightened out soon. I look forward to living vicariously through your videos! Keep up the great work.
Lesson learned from Savanna: reinforce the subframe if you're thinking of carrying extra fuel. And I think a visit to Hyperpro is worth your while
Welcome back, Noraly. The excitement in your voice is clear and I'm sure all your fans are excited! Let's Go!
Noraly, I for one have missed your infectious enthusiasm and joyous laugh for far too long now. Welcome back and here is wishing you and Alaska many safe and fun-filled miles together....of course with us all, along for every single one of them 😊 Bon voyage Noraly.
Excellent choice. 2 extra ignition keys and a center stand might be a good idea. Lot's of sharp rocks and mud on our roads. The bike shops in Anchorage usually have excellent tire/tube advice and will put a set of tires on hold for you at no charge. There's 35 species of mosquitos waiting for you. Peak season is usually mid June through July. Godspeed!
"Good morning internet", long time since I heard that phrase, but now shes back again. Let the adventure begin. It´s so nice to have you back again.Mike / Sweden
Missed you girl can't wait for the new adventures 🙌🏻🙌🏻
I am so hooked on this series being a new Itchy fan. Lots of binge watching going on. I'm going to watch every place Noraly has been.
We're all so glad to see you're back, we have all been in a dark place too long without getting our Itchy Boots video fix! Great choice on Alaska (Bike & destination!)
So happy that you’re back! My significant other and I have been suffering from Itchy Boots withdrawal! Looking forward to these new adventures. Your new bike rocks! Rock on!
Great choice for your purpose. A stiffer rear spring will be easily available: can even be made to order. Same height, just a little stiffer. Excited for you and your new journey. Go Itchy.
