You "Dirty Old Man". 

From what I've seen of Noraly she would be the first to laugh about someone misspelling her name and I know she wouldn't consider it to be an insult.

She's a full of life, full of adventure sort of girl who would totally understand why someone in the US could miss-spell her name and she would not think another thought about it.

      Well, since we've slipped into grammar and spelling mode here, there you go misspelling misspell. When will it ever end? 

       BTW - did you catch that incredibly overloaded truck that we caught a glimpse of twice in (I think) Episode 105?

I noticed that truck and wondered how the people loading it ever got all of those sacks of whatever stacked like that so that they could be tied down without falling over.  I bet U.S. Teamsters couldn't do that.   

Regarding names: I have always been a little irritated that I named my daughter "Terri" when she was born. Then she went to court when she was in her 20's and legally changed her name to "Teri".  And I didn't find out about it until 25 years later.

Speaking of the thumbs down in Noraly's YouTube shows did you watch all 1 1/2 hours of her latest on line talk show?

She mentioned that somehow one of her YouTube's got on some sort of "hate forum" and she received a rash of hateful comments like some turds that said they wanted her to be raped. 
How's that for being really shitty?   

I'd gladly take those SOB's and hang them by their testicles and walk off leaving them hanging there.

Yes, I watched that, and like you am appalled at these low-lifes leaving hateful messages.
She comes across as a really pleasant, fun loving  young lady, I cannot see anything anyone could hate about her.

      I felt so bad for her and was so fucking angry yesterday that I was afraid to comment and maybe "get started" and be sorry later. It's sort of a once you draw the sword, you must cut something situation.

       Suffice it to say, they are angry, frustrated, jealous ignorant scum and they pollute every subject and every policy and every agency now and they slowly and steadily influence more and more of the same kinds of malleable minds and it starts long before even kindergarten now. You can be attacked and "anything" can be done to you now or said about you for wearing the wrong (according to them) fucking T-shirt or hat.

     Luckily 99% of them are fucking cowards and Noraly will continue her trip safely BUT it could be SO easy for these creeps to plan something.

           'Nuff sed.

Well I started to watch it but not live. I've not got through the first live 2 parter and I'm only a couple of eps from her current offering.

All I want to know is what currency do I choose for the fuel donation?

I'm not putting a comment on a random video to get lost with all the others.

I'll have to add that as I watch on the TV, There's no option for a thumbs up and I'm not going through them all now.

It would appear that Noraly has won the hearts and minds of this forum though

      To donate you have to go to her website. There is a link to it on Youtube right below the video frame.

     Follow the prompts to DONATE and Paypal does the rest. If you don't do Paypal I don't know what to tell you.

       You must be SIGNED IN to Youtube to be able to register your LIKE vote which requires that you register. She is one of only Two reasons I got a Youtube account.

Noraly's website:
https://www.itchyboots.com/
I donated via Paypal from here.

Bless you chaps. I am aware of both your suggestions

It was that when it came to choose the currency in which to donate in I thought ah. Now what. The default was USD and she is obviously not there

       All I did was type in that I wanted to give her $30. Paypal converted it to what it needs to to deposit in her account. Paypal charged me the difference in the currency value and, I presume, just entered a number into her account. My total was $31.68.

Episode 108 is one of the more interesting Itchy Boots videos yet. It shows her riding around and exploring the area surrounding Cappadocia, Turkey. It starts out with her watching many hot air balloons rise in the morning and ends with a visit to an underground city carved out of the ground. And unfortunately, the "haters" didn't waste any time giving her 47 dislikes.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kdm463II7U

47 dislikes out of almost 73,000 views isn't bad... statistically insignificant, in my opinion,  therefore I'm going to call it no dislikes...

        I meant to comment on the Cappadocia episode yesterday and didn't get a round tuit.

         It was better than any of the stock "travelogue" type coverages you see on cable TV nowadays and PBS and Smithsonian are useless now. Nothing but reruns. Over and over and over and over. A lot of stuff I saw 10 years ago. Since the Create Channel took over, PBS has turned  to crap. Even This Old House (who remembers Bob Vila?) is formula now.

          You could just see the wonderment in her eyes and hear it in her voice watching the balloons. They look like multi-colored fireflies. I remember years ago there were a dozen balloons. Now hundreds of ballon people are making thousands of dollars a day and you can bet  the Cappadocian people aren't getting any of it. It's the government.

           And I agree with her about not paying the price. But what a wondrous place it is!

Noraly's videos are always fun to watch.  In fact, although I've watched it a couple of times before, I just clicked on the link and watched it again.

I think one of my favorite incidents was shown several episodes back when she stopped out in the middle of no where to talk to the two old men.  They offered her some vodka.
I can't help but think those two old guys will spend the rest of their lives with a big smile on their faces while they are thinking back to the day an angel rode up and shared a few moments with them just because they were there.

Well she certainly is a much better rider than I am and she speaks English very well and also seems to be able to communicate well enough in other languages. 

Plus, that poor Himalayan takes a beating and keeps on ticking.  I assume that we all are very impressed with its performance and durability in the rough, at high elevations and in the hot and cold weather that she has been experiencing while riding in the middle-east.

If only RE would have made that engine as a 650cc single. 

     +++ to everything you say. She is marvelous.

      But how much more would it weigh if it was a 650?
