seems that comparison isn't welcomed here. who has a modern bike, but also rode an old school one, knows pretty good the reliability of the oldies. modern bikes, for marketing reasons i think, they just don't last as much as old bikes, despite there shiny look. simplicity always last longer and longer trips need simply much well made bikes no matter new or old. i'll never trade my carb twin cylinder bike with an injection one. Noraly has a good experienced point.
What a beautiful place to camp.
Una moto muy bonita.
👍
Bridgestone tire model?
Me trouxe recordações..! Tenere 600 1988 indestrutível kkk
Você é muito, muuuuito corajosa!!! 😉
I used to ride a 1976 Yamaha XT500.
BBQ in Germany?! 😜
Its really interesting for her choice of the motorcycle.But, the only concern is that, as this one is out of production and its spare and difficult to obtain, won't that be a concern, as you know, Noraly always makes her boots itchy.
..may we know, how many days, hours spent by the Motoritz Craftsmen ?
How do they Charge for this service, ..parts ?
Thanks
How much did this custom bike cost you
Now that I come back to these segments that I missed, I look at the mechanical bell and have to recognize the man’s commemorative use.
I liked the:”some kind of BMW thing”!😂
Why going through so much trouble? Wouldn’t be cheaper, convenient and easier to buy a new bike? That would make your life easier during your adventures
I admire you for not being afraid with this old flute because the Yamaha instrument factory stops below you in the desert, I admire
ik had helemaal niet door dat je weer aan het rijden ging, dus nu 21 episodes inhalen ik heb wat te doen tijdens de feestdagen

– "Sooo did you lock the workshop?"
– "Nope"
– "Oh, ok"
xD
Sand up to 5000 grit and buff the plastic
You might consider more shoulder and elbow protection ❤
Hi, Norlay Nice to see you again with lots of staff about the bike, it's the knowledge of skill and the love towards the bike that makes you apart, You're a very adventurous person i think ❤️ l have the same DNA in me,but thing is iam little struck me maybe i will one day try this kind of staff,, you know i have daughter with the same DNA, but she has to complete her education i will not encourage this because at first she must finish her education ❤
It's great to see that you can get complete custom and personalized service from a bike builder and mechanic like this. It also seems like this is something that you need when you travel in remote places like Africa, the Middle East and parts of Asia, because if something breaks, then you can call your mechanic and he can ship you the parts.
Such high level of customization and personal service is becomining more rare these days. You see that with cars as well, where some cars are so complex and filled with electronics, that they can only be repaired by an official dealer, because they have trained mechanics that exclusively work for a particular brand/manufacturer.
Hi airily , just love your show , are you putting a mirror on the right side 🌹🌹🌹😊

7:30 Come on Moritz is a gem really. Happy for Noraly that she has all those good hearted people in her life. Thank you for sharing your adventures.
Never gets old watching skilled people pursue their craft. My life experience has taught me the importance of associating with good people which in turn leads me to meet other good people ala the suspension ace. The attention to detail is to be commended and obvious the 'support crew' appreciate the potential very serious consequences in the event of a worst case scenario developing. The Yamaha could well turn out to be the best mobile billboard the manufacturer could have wished for. Editing is first class. Enjoyed.
What an brilliant team creating, improving and servicing this bike. Surely there is a market for Yamaha to manufacture modern versions of your enchanced bike, resume production of high quality components, work out how similar or improved levels of durability can be done with less weight. Keep the electonics away.
thank goodness you did all this set up in Germany. In Canada we would fill the tank and… "Just Giver!"
Impressively well done uve done an amazin insights .. … u r courageous nd Very ispirin … everythin is well put together even the background sound ❤❤ ❤ … i love it. …. still waitin for 1 visit yo tunisia im from sidi bou said may god bless u .keep on goin kudossssss❤

‘Choke’ … now that’s getting a bit too old school.
