What have I done... COMPLETELY taken my Honda CRF300L RALLY apart.

This episode is the beginning of making my Honda CRF300L Rally ready for new adventures around the world. In the past 43,000 kilometers , the motorcycle got quite some abuse and I want to make sure it's in tiptop condition before I set off in the the wilderness again!

Here I teach all my filming techniques including getting drone shots while riding!

Glad my heart didn't have so many parts when my surgeon rebuilt it. Crashed my bike and cracked my sternum. A year later I had shortness of breath and night sweats. Went to emergency and my aortic root was about to rupture...blunt force trauma from bike crash probably caused the issue. 7.5 hours in surgery and 13 years later I get to watch Noraly. Life is good.

😂 the “abuse “ clips on Alaska were hilarious.. my fave has to be “..red flashing light..let’s move on..”
Priceless Noraly y Que Viva Alaska 2.0 ✌️😎

YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I LOVE HEARING GOOD MORNING INTERNET❤ It always makes my day! And I’m sure many others’ day too!

[ricardoguerra]

A MotorBike is so much more than just a MotorBike, Much respect to all the Mechanics, we need your expertise.

[nonormies]

Thats right. Real motorcyclists do understand. That road warrior has traversed two whole continents and deserves a proper upkeep.

[JacobSnover]

The same haters that say you spent too much are also riding race bikes for daily drivers that cost twice as much and need maintenance after each tank of gas!
This bike could be just as awesome and thousands less, glad to see you fully diving into this project!

It’s kind of cool that you and Ari Hemming (Shop Manual) both have Honda rebuild videos, giving the bikes some love after challenging Alaskan adventures. It’s also a reminder how much effort went into the original design and engineering of such “simple” machines. I think you really lucked out, finding Bill’s shop, since he is clearly one of the old school, knowledgeable and conscientious mechanics, and one who wisely has a dog supervising everything that goes on in the shop. I cannot wait to see where the next season of adventure takes us.

I can't wait to see you hit 500, 000 Miles traveled. Love the videos and stay safe

[TheWinger]

Ignore the haters. You know your bike and you know where you're going so just ignore them.

[mgcarrcamaro]

Don't listen to the negative comments! You do you ! ..and build your bike the way you want too and get her ready for the next adventure that we are all looking forward to go on with u !👍👍😍🇨🇦

🤯🤯🤯It makes sense to all those upgrades that Alaska got. She become as family and earned the sentimental value, plus putting in a hands of a person that loves his job. There is nothing else to add. Let's go Alaska and Noraly !

[petecartwright]

That was so cool to watch. This guy needs his business name on the wall. That was global advertising and thanks to Noraly's great camera skills, it showed some great professionalism.
Like some below, I think Honda is dropping the ball. (Even though, Noraly has stripped Alaska to the frame and rebuilt it.) Our Noraly has 1.5 million dedicated viewers of her every move.
Since I found her, about a year, she has solo traveled from the tip of South America to the top of North America on a motorcycle. Then, she put her bike in the shop for a rebuild, rented another bike, and raced in a real Baja Rally race. (including finishing the race injured.)
Then, I realized all of that was only the tip of the iceberg.
I don't get impressed by much anymore, but Noraly and her travels/adventures, all of it, have kept me looking for her and a new post every time I sign on. It's one of the most impressive things I've ever witnessed.
Someone in television is going to figure it out. There are a lot of people doing the same sort of thing on the net, but none are as interesting and compelling to watch as her.
Kudos to those mechanics.

4:33 - I'm not even into motorcycles (outside of your channel) and I think it's good to spend the money to get the best parts in your position, It's one thing if you have limited budget and a motorcycle that you ride once every few months, but you're on that every day for several hours and putting it in irregular more difficult scenarios which in my eyes is 100% worth it.

It's also cool to see you break everything down and why you're choosing certain upgrades, Even if it's not something I would usually be interested in I love learning and I love seeing passionate people talk about their passions :)

Thank you & Safe Travels!

[nicoleayienga]

WOW, mad respect for mechanics. I had no idea how many frickin parts there are. Incredibly talented men.

[TheGreatInquisitor]

Did you notice how clean his electric tool is?
And all around.
This is what a proper workshop should look like.

[nairkrishnankutty]

I imagined Alaska smiling by looking at the kind of attention she gets from the mechanics and the care Noraly gives to her . Great. The open heart surgery done to the engine was really great. The Surgeons are experts and fantastic.

[beborodner]

1st.... I'm really really glad your not replacing Alaska!!

also love that we're getting the details of this thorough overhaul! Great pair of mechanics you got there! Also Great idea to include us in this part of the journey. It adds to the emotional ties we have for this bike.. She deserves this spotlight :)

3rd... I can't wait for the unveiling on your next adventure!!

Thank you for this awesome content.. this is hands down my favorite YouTube channel.

[trippontwowheels]

Hoping you have a happy new year and a prosperous 2023 Noraly!

[MiklaDfar]

As a previous Honda motorcycle mechanic and Service Manager, I can appreciate all that is happening in this video. Looks like you found yourself some excellent techs to help you out. Can't even count the number of times I have done this to my own bikes (dirt and road).

[methosq]

So glad you got Bill to work on your bike. He’s awesome.
