A ROCKY START - Starting my DOLOMITES motorcycle solo trip Italy - EP1

[@PontLimon]

Dolomites are amazing! I've been there myself in July! By the way, you were my guide to the Alps! Your videos helped me making my road map of 6000 km trough swiss, italian and french Alps. Thank you! P.S. wouldn't turning your GoPro up side down solve the problem? It will give you a very good angle.You cold even film the skyes above your head if you wish! This is how I do it anyway... Good luck! ✌️

[@LNRmoto]

Hey that's so cool to hear! Thanks for that. I tried some things, but prefer to keep it normal side up so I can also read better which settings, etc I have it on while looking in the mirror haha

[@velhoestradeiro]

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to see these incredible landscapes through your very competent lenses. The photography is impeccable. Looking forward to the next episode.

[@LNRmoto]

Glad you enjoyed it and many thanks for the kind words

[@KiwiGravelRoadieRick]

Oh my god I am going to Europe in two days time and will be in the Dolomites on a motorcycle tour. I loved it last time I was there in 2018 so I have high expectations this time too.

[@LNRmoto]

Hopefully your first week there was amazing!

[@KiwiGravelRoadieRick]

@@LNRmoto it didn’t disappoint. Now on top of Julia Pass Switzerland having a coffee break. Heading to Como for two nights to try and manage the weather and temperatures.

[@riendetout8812]

Absolutely stunning place! Wonderful photography!

[@LNRmoto]

It really is☺️

[@scottturner-zm1vu]

I was just about to go riding this evening, but then heavy storms set in here in NC. A little while later, I see that you have a new video up. Very glad to see you again. You're one of the inspirations that got me back into riding almost a year ago, and I have enjoyed every mile since. Your videos express the reason one should take the risk of climbing onto a motorcycle better than any others I have ever seen. I hope that one day I may get the chance to say hello and thank you in person, but for now through the comment section of KZbin, Thanks.

[@LNRmoto]

Awesome words to hear, thank you so much for taking the time to leave a comment. Upcoming weeks you'll be getting more episodes!

[@Mototherapy_online]

Thx for sharing the Dolomites paradise 🤩 It is impossible to get bored with these incredible (and eye watering) sceneries all over the place (not to mention the riding pleasure 😇) - even discovered Dolomites under summer snow 10 days ago 😱🤩

[@BoTour]

Nice to see you again on your beautiful Ducati. I spent some days riding and hiking in the Alpes mid June. The riding days were marvellous, beautiful sunny weather, sometimes a bit chilly higher up in the mountains. But very pleasant overall. The hiking days on the other hand were miserable, rain followed by more rain, had to alter my routes quite a bit. I had quite a few slugs and earwigs in the vestibule of my tent. Luckily not in the sleeping area. One earwig even crawled into the burner of my stove, I had to pry it out with a pair of pliers. A special experience for mid-June.

[@daveosborne4273]

What a magical place . Was lucky enough to go there in June on my bike with 2 mates. Will deffo be going again. Beautiful videos and memories. Not jealous at all. 👍👍😂😂

[@LNRmoto]

I hope you enjoyed it and had a bit better weather haha

[@billmoeller8897]

First time I "saw" the Dolomites was on a 2 week tour of the Alps that had only one day riding in this mountain area. Rain & low clouds, could not see a thing, but you could sense the mountains were all around. Since then I have been back to the Alps 12 times & the Dolomites probably 5 times, all in blue sky & dry weather. A true magical place to be on a motorcycle. The last time we had 2 days, staying in Arabba, we could take our time & just get off the bike, find a bench with a view & take it all in. Does not get much better than that !!!

[@Bjorgolf553]

Hi, amazing video, loved every minute of it. I think there is a little solution, but i havent tried it yet. If you mount your camera upside down, it will record upwards apparently. This is based from videos i've seen from other motovloggers. It is worth a shot for a bit to see if it helps

[@mikehigginbottom4627]

Stunning vistas! Thank you for taking me there through your moto-storytelling! Your dedication to your chosen art form through the adversity seperates you among many other content creators. Be well!

[@LNRmoto]

Thank you very much for that lovely compliment, appreciate it

[@LongPondNH]

Stunning views and photography as always.

[@scottschwen7558]

My wife Janelle & I absolutely love your videos ! Fantastic content , great editing and the visual clarity is outstanding ! 🎉🎉🎉 RIDE & BE FREE !!! Scott & Janelle Boise, Idaho, USA, Earth 😊😊😊

[@LNRmoto]

Glad you like them!

[@Zip_n_rip]

Thanks Leo for sharing the beauty of the Dolomites. Keep up with the good photography 😍😍

[@keslot]

Hi Leonor! I am so happy that you are finally back with a new season of your wonderful adventures on the road. I think episode 1 was great, and I'm really looking forward to the sequel! Big hug from the arctic circle in northern Norway! 😊✌️😊😊😊

[@RainerWelkener]

Wonderfull impressions even the weather wasn't exactly perfect,thank you👍

[@Chase-the-Sun]

Have you looked at the ‘Pro Shot’ chin mount for your Arai - Denise has one and it works well - does not need to keep her head up - just an idea - thanks again for taking us along again -

[@LNRmoto]

Thnx for the tip, I use this gripper so I don't stay behind with glue residues or always a plastic part on my beautiful helmet

[@Moto_Tails]

I can completely relate!! I'm taking on my first motocycle tour later this month - London to Athens, Entirely solo. The *moment* I booked the first part of the trip and made it official, my bike was having never ending problems! It stopped downshifting, the USB power died, all sorts. In a way, I'm glad they all happened before the trip rather than on it- but it's shaken my confidence, it's brought me so close to cancelling the trip, but I'm doing my best to power through.

[@LNRmoto]

I really do hope you get everything sorted and also the mental part of it. Nothing more annoying to having all that backlash, but like you say, better before than during! Keep the spirits up, it'll be an incredible trip for sure!

[@andrewphillips432]

Happy Sunday, great to have you back 🤟

[@clausbehrens5375]

Amazing journey. I have to Check my priorities and Fund time to Show my Desert X these wonderful places. THANK YOU🙂🙏

[@theheroblob5036]

Yay! Welcome back Leonoor! What a wonderful first episode... I'm looking forward to this series.

[@Mick_English]

Yeah your back brilliant hope your in good health and spirits. Let's gooooooo

[@GuzziV85ttghislain]

Mooie video terug van in de Dolomieten ik geniet mee met jou Adventure top meid 👍🏻✌🏻

[@brucegerken1063]

Great video thank you my wife and I love your videos your one of the best. Thanks again cheers to ya.

[@Fenix_Projects]

Hi Leo, once again a great episode .. we are so lucky that you persevered, despite the very unfortunate and very wet start because .. the footage and photo's are beyond 👌, the drone footage is nothing short of a real docu level 🤩, your emotional joy and amazement is so palpable 💞. The yellow visor is actually a great tip, when skying we wear yellow goggles especially for the enabled contrast. I wonder if it does not ruin the beautifull colourpalette so typical for such montain surroundings. What strikes me personally each time when riding in the mountains is that sometimes a lake is so crystal clear and only a short distance further another lake the water has a murky light blue color. I know why, but the differences surprises me each time. When watching this episode i was reminded about your IG post about how music can take you on a emotional journey. Your music choice does indeed give the viewer a taste of how wonderfull it must feel to visit these places. As you state so beautifull, to be immersed in the moment. Thank you so much for taking us each time with you 👌🥰👍 (even when some underwear got left behind 🤭.. sorry, couldn't resist it 🤷‍)

[@LNRmoto]

Sometimes you just have to look for the positives to keep going. I must admit it was a bit of a struggling start, but I’m happy I stayed even though it got challenging along the way in more ways than one. You’ll see that in upcoming weeks! Thnx for your thoughtful comment and glad you liked the first one 👏🏼👏🏼

[@Tuppi1290]

Stunning !!

[@munchybiker]

I look forward to your films and stories so thank you 🌻

[@davidstiglitz4341]

Stunning photography and drone footage. Amazing. Well done.

[@kareljoosse4083]

Puur genieten Leonoor! Prachtig gemaakt op de typische Leonoor manier met oog voor cinematografie en muziek en momenten voor contemplatie in die geweldige bergwereld. Bedankt.

[@LNRmoto]

Dank voor je mooie woorden!

[@Ride22]

Premium content delivered as always 👌

[@jons.exhaust]

Amazing. Always wanted to visit the Dolomites, and it is on my riding plans. Actually gonna take some notes on some of the places. Enjoy.

[@LNRmoto]

Hopefully the locations in the video are helpful. if you'd like more inspiration you could always check out my website with more stories from the road

[@davidstiglitz4341]

The low lying cloud cover adds to the mood perfectly.

[@LNRmoto]

Gotta love moody weather!

[@genestatler2514]

It is so good to see you back Leonoor. I missed you. The photography and videography is magnificent on this video!! I love the fact that you get so emotional when you're in all that beautiful scenery.😇😍 Lots of love from Gene in Tennessee.

[@creedm3040]

Awesome video! The Dolomites are so beautiful. I thought the video turned out great. Grim weather for sure. You need a hat for rain. That pizza looked so good. You order the best food. Best!

[@stephenrice9497]

Looking forward to the series and getting some ideas for my trip down that way next month; making lots of notes! As always great photography 😊

[@LNRmoto]

Exactly the reason why I put in the locations, if you'd like more inspiration you could always check out my website with more stories from the road

[@flum345]

I just finished watching all of the videos on your channel, so this one comes at a perfect time! I'm a massive fan of the unique and cosy editing style you do so couldn't help but binge watch everything. These locations you go to have inspired me to get rid of my track bike and get a road bike so I can go touring all over Europe. Can't wait to see more of this trip!

[@waynephillips2683]

I have watched your video it looks beautiful. I am there at the end of September really looking forward to it, even more having seen your video. Thank you and safe travels.

[@julianpavitt4926]

Absolutely beautifully shot. I love you work.

[@ekkiplicht7283]

Everybody can make postcard-like pictures in perfect weather. It takes an experienced photographer to use the available light and weather and still make beautiful imagery. Nice to see you back, thanks for sharing! 🙂

[@alanalan3290]

Great to see you back and another stunning video and look forward to your next one as after watching I really want to visit myself to take in all the fantastic views you have shown us👍

[@mars0030]

I love touring myself, so it's nice to share your trip experiences. Looks cold already up the mountains!

[@Steini07]

I like the Lago di Misurina too, both Hotels and the peaks in landscape are perfect to show.

[@Carl-k3r]

Thank you for taking me along to such a beautiful place.

[@brammes_bmw]

Ben blij dat je er weer bent. Heb je gemist en ga weer genieten van je avonturen!

[@HerveJ]

Hi Leonoor, Happy to discover your new road trip with always beautiful photography , your signature. A great first episode. Merci ! ✌

[@niels4361]

Welcome back. You've been missed. Great to see your films again. Can hardly wait to see the next episode.

[@dirkaerts]

Mooie aflevering weer, houden zo! 👍Topfan😍

[@stewartsmith8642]

Great to see you are back with your beautiful videos and pics hope the weather cleared up for you can't wait to see your next adventures.

[@SuperWellington1815]

Was there last year-you have made me want to go back-wonderful thank you 😊

[@beatricestampfli9138]

Wow! Wonderful pictures and video, what a start. My boyfriend and I could barely wait for your Dolomites videos to start, because we will be on our way there from sept 16 . For a start, I put one of my LNR stickers on the rear end of my right sidecase and it‘s brilliant in its very sense, I will be noticed! Thanks so much!

[@LNRmoto]

So cool to hear! I wish you two a very nice and beautiful trip, weather is looking quite ok!

[@Crsf84]

Watching this waiting on a ferry just done my first solo spell and not sure if i enjoyed it or not. Anxiety levels are through the roof but i’m heading home as the trusty gs is getting traded for a desert x. Brilliant watch and thank you .

[@LNRmoto]

Give it time, make sure you also take your time to enjoy. you'll get used to it and if not in the end, maybe find someone to tag along.

[@BlackThor15]

Awesome to see you back Leonor! Thanks for sharing another great trip, lezzzz gooo! 👍👍

[@LNRmoto]

More to come! And thanks for sticking around

[@tripy75]

Glad to see you back, and eager to take some notes for the next summer trip ! Italian mountains are pretty amazing. I had a little tasting this summer in Bormio and I yearn for more.

[@martinhughes9769]

Glad to see you back entertaining us with your stunning videos 😊

[@lucimoto2922]

Great video

[@stefanmisteli9615]

What a inspiration keep up and fight the rain🎉

[@GrinningGser]

Ooh ; haven’t watched this yet Leonoor . Can’t wait. I’m riding to the Dolomites next year.

[@papabear1417]

Wow! Wow! WOW!!! An amazing episode of triumphing over adversity with beautiful photography. Chapeau

[@LNRmoto]

Thnx for the kind words, I’m happy you enjoyed it

[@varjotonkeskonen]

Thanks, good to see you again

[@jimcalvert4678]

Great to have you back, inspiring as ever.

[@steenlassen5718]

Just came home from one week riding there. The best motorcycle roads I have ever ridden! Around Sella Ronda is truly epic! But there are lots of great roads, like Passo Manghen!

[@LNRmoto]

Couldn't agree more!

[@jarekmaestro4512]

Dolomites ❤ I was there this year first time and not last one😊

[@fuglbird]

Never apologize for your footage or your food. You either serve it or you don't. Never criticize it. It's normally fine - just like in your case.

[@AdrianHollington-vm9qz]

Your travel videos are the most real on a motorbike I have seen….so natural that I feel I am right there. As much as I love the Desert X it’s fuel consumption is poor and covering large distances as you do I’m surprised you chose it.

[@VeryImportantPepe]

I am not surprised since she is a photographer, has an eye for aesthetic, and Desert X is the most aesthetic adv bike in the world.

[@LNRmoto]

Glad you like them. Thank you. I choose this bike for its character, I don’t pay too much attention to fuel consumption. It’s my passion and my work, so not minding spending a tat more on the pleasure this bike gives me

[@ramonvanotterdijk5332]

I really love your videos, its great to see what I can expect on my oncoming roadtrip that will start next week. Thanks for that ❤

[@LNRmoto]

Happy to hear that! Enjoy your trip

[@Motodoggo_]

Sometimes, the worst start creates the best endings

[@paulm6407]

Hi I have just seen the first dolomites video, I liked it. For a garden to grow a little rain must fall. Keep up the good work x

[@LNRmoto]

So nice of you and I’m far from done ☺️

[@joseph40ninjas88]

Haha I was just about to send you a message about cruising through the Dolomites!

[@blaine_rides]

Thanks for sharing! ♥️

[@LNRmoto]

You are so welcome and thanks for tuning in

[@eeclass20]

Looking forward to this new series, welcome back to KZbin! It's funny, I'm not a biker but you have given many ideas for a 2025 road trip with my 2cv!

[@LNRmoto]

Thank you! So funny to hear, make the best of memories with that Citroën!

[@kaizen2049]

A new adventure begins ❤❤ super excited to see the beautiful landscapes of Italy ❤

[@LNRmoto]

It really is and I can’t wait to take you all with me

[@GrinningGser]

Cardo has a sound recording facility and on another KZbinr it sounded good . Would make it easier than using a microphone , but not if no good of course . Fabulous episode 1 👍

[@curnobullen]

Wow. Stunning scenery and photograph’s. Your emotions going up the pass is amazing.

[@LNRmoto]

Glad you enjoyed it and yeah those first mountains always impress me

[@PontLimon]

@@LNRmoto even big boys get emotional over there

[@shahinalvandi2964]

This is absolutely magnificent. I truly hope to ride with you very soon.

[@LNRmoto]

I hope so too!

[@gbmartinz]

Fantastic - great production!!! 👏😊

[@LNRmoto]

Many thanks!

[@thetonetosser]

Hey! Love your channel. Used to do a bit of offshore powerboat racing/water ski racing back in the day. Used to wear these special yellow tinted glasses under my visor if the weather was cloudy or a bit rainy. As you say, would definitely help with levelling the contrast. Helped spot driftwood much earlier too....your equivalent being huge pot holes 😊. Have fun on your journeys.

[@PureEvolution]

Nice to see you back on the road again what a place 4k video fills those cards up fast dont they

[@LNRmoto]

Yes it does!but it’s all worth it in the end for these results 😎

[@PureEvolution]

@@LNRmoto indeed totaly agree i starte dto do 4k now as just cant capture it any other way

[@malcolmwilliams7153]

Lovely video, glad to see you back in the saddle. What was the date you were here on the first episode please. Ride safe❤

[@LNRmoto]

Early June was the start of this trip!

[@claudiofoiadelli8721]

E' un posto fantastico quasi surreale, quando l'ho visto non capivo più niente, che è normale per me 🤣 ho visto alcune foto che hai scattato davvero belle bye

[@-W8WHAT]

Good to see you back, some great footage even with dodgy weather 👌

[@LNRmoto]

Much more to come!

[@daveosborne4273]

Weather was pretty dismal the first 2 days in the dolomites. Non stop rain the first night on the campsite in corvara . The road from stelvio to trafoi was still closed with snow so had to head south to Bormio but was an epic trip all the same . 👍👍

[@LNRmoto]

That sounds quite similar to mine haha! Glad you still enjoyed it

[@duncanmachell4044]

Great that your channel is back really enjoy your content and I've never seen the dollamites before look forward to your guided tour I'm sure its gonna be good, all the best

[@LNRmoto]

Stay tuned for loads more, you must go there some day! It’s stunning

[@Dirk1961-l7y]

Leuk je weer on the road te zien!! Ik kon afgelopen maandag net terug uit Slovenië en Faak am See (Bike Week) en in 13 uur weer thuis met heel dag zeik regen! Gemiddelde snelheid 100kmu, toch knap met een Harley🙂

[@levraiguidon]

i've done the same roadtrip last years, and the Tre Cime was my favorite place on the Dolomites. Can't wait to go back !!

[@LNRmoto]

It really is a magical place ☺️☺️

[@nicholasjarrold8649]

Hi gt video what an amazing place I would so love to be able to do what you motorcyclists all do to these beautiful places but I’m not in good enough condition to do all that travelling I’m 64 I ride a 2023 triumph rocket 3gt I think it would do it but my body wouldn’t I love watching your videos your filming is excellent I love the content and you do some long days don’t you take care ride safe

[@LNRmoto]

One step at a time and in the meanwhile enjoy your rides and the views in mine and others videos ☺️☺️

[@kevinyoung5841]

I prefer to see things as being photogenic rather than Instagramable. Is it just me? Nice tour so far. 👍

[@tinytim9413]

The go Pro view was fine 👍

[@chema1546]

Ok 👏🎉👍

[@alansavage3549]

Awesome video. In some shots your bike looks almost exactly the same color as the rock face behind it.

[@LNRmoto]

It surely does blend in nicely with nature every now and then

[@fuglbird]

What was the van about? This summer I met some people in vans with a caravan and motorcycles - also some in mobile homes with a motorcycle. They all called themselves bikers but I never saw their motorcycles leave the camp site. You seem to have a much better time on your motorcycle than they had in their vans. Camping in rain is art form in itself. Staying in the tent for hours in your sleeping bag during the day wearing an extra layer reading T.S. Elliot "The wasteland" on your Kindle is quite nice. It almost makes it an adventure when you put on your rain gear a couple of times a day and take a walk. I hope you get the weather you like.

[@theultimatehang]

What jacket is featured that has the zipper pocket on the left sleeve. Brilliant.

[@rallenrallen]

Did you go right after MaxlRide? I was supposed going down to Italy/ Slovenia after this nice weekend @MaxlRide. Unfortunately I had to head back home for private reasons. Under these weather conditions you’re pretty much on your own up there. Very cool! Love it!

[@LNRmoto]

I was in the Dolomites early June. Hoping for some better weather but hey we pursued! And was worth it

[@bsmukler]

Wow! Stunning photos! Is that your Mosko Moto Nomax on the hotel bed and, if so, what camera insert did you manage to find to fit it? Wonderful video 😊

[@LNRmoto]

It is indeed, I used a lowepro bag here, not sure which model. But comes with many small inlays, so perfect for gopro stuff and batteries etc.

[@bsmukler]

Sorry about that last rant but people can I please ask what Lens are you using for your stunning landscapes I'm kinda mostly wildlife so long lens your landscapes are stunning thank you

[@LNRmoto]

No worries! I mainly use my 24-120mm as it covers everything I need on these trips. Carry my 100-400 sometimes, depending on the trip

[@Leonard-kd7uj]

@LNRmoto thank you for that take care rude safe
