[@mikethebikemt07tracer]

I love the way you get sentimental over the beauty that this world of ours has to offer. Have a happy Christmas and new year. Ride safe.

[@LNRmoto]

And there's SO much to discover in ones lifetime. Merry Xmas 🎄🎅

I just love your passion and honesty with your emotions never apologize for being you ❤

Will keep it in mind, thank you

You are lucky, my beautiful lady, with a powerful Decati bike with great performance and appearance.. and you have a Nikon camera and you enjoy in stunning nature.. a wonderful feeling.. thanks for God’s blessings..🥰😍🤩😘

[@in2ADV]

Enjoyed the episode immensely. Opting to include the clip with you getting emotional was a hit below the belt! 🙂 I could totally relate. Keep 'em coming. Regards from Melbourne, Australia!

[@carlcooper1788]

That bit of "fun" is great practice for how the bike handles - love that you took the opportunity to do it, made me smile!

[@Andrea-bp5md]

Hi from Bologna. I came across your channel a few days ago and today, Xmas day, I'm enjoying one of your episode on YT waiting for my grandchildren for the Xmas lunch. I'm not a rider and I'm old but I have to congratulate for the fully enjoyable footage, images and storytelling (and music) that I've never found before in channels with the same kind of contents. That's it. Merry Xmas and Happy New year.

[@LNRmoto]

Your words mean a lot and I hope you had a wonderful Christmas time with your family. All the best and happy 2025!

[@sergiocarvalho2542]

Your film are extraordinary beautiful. Congratulations. I love your rides. Merry Christmas for you and for all your family. A big hugh from Oporto, Portugal ❤

[@LNRmoto]

Thanks a lot, happy to hear you enjoyed! Merry Xmas 🎄

[@Wrong-Way-Round]

Well that's me up-to-date with ( I nearly O-d'd 😓). What adds to your visual capabilities is the clarity in your voice /naration of the videos, making them I find a joy to watch and listen to with the result that we (I) cannot do one without the other, how it should be.🤗. NEXT 🤣

[@ljg7777]

Yes , please show us more of what you see. It would be totally cool to see what you see !!

[@photographer-gf]

I have been following your videos for a long time and they just keep getting better and better. Both the filming itself but above all the editing, shorter drone shots, increased changes of camera positions and a reduction in the voice-overs that before did not really advance the story. Appreciate all the work you do (and I really know the enormous amount of time you spend doing it) with the camera handling and the editing. You have become a truly professional travel writer of the highest class! I wish you all the best for 2024 and look forward to your new travel videos!

[@LNRmoto]

Thank you for the compliments, longer drone shots can be nice too ;) I notice myself I’m going forward in everything and I learn a lot on the road! So I can’t wait for the next adventure and adapt my new learnings on the road. I’m more than happy to put in this effort and time if other people enjoy it just as I did on that moment 🙌🏼

[@robertscarisbrick7245]

Beautiful !! Can see how being in the mountains is so rewarding . And riding a motorcycle is just the best 😎 There’s nothing that connects you and gives the feeling of freedom . Merry Xmas where every you are 💪👍🎅

[@LNRmoto]

For me the best way to travel and I bet many bikers can relate! Merry Xmas 🎄🎅

[@nigelholroyd2942]

Terrific Leanoor, You're quite a dab-hand with the drone, Superb viewing, as for re-visiting a location, '78, I went over the Pyrenees Gan/Laruns from the French side & into Spain over the pass, Then did the ride in 2009 with my cousin 31 years later, & could hardly remember much of it ! The authorities had built multiple over-road AVALANCHE covers. dated in the concrete '87- '93 etc & so on, Originally I had to carry Francs, & pesetas, & also show a Passport.. the seemingly very young Spanish guards all marveled at my Honda of the time.. The crossing all those years later seemed such a none-event by comparison, I enjoyed the ride-holiday, But there was just that little thing missing ? NOSTALGIA. Isn't riding ALONE a beautiful thing, 👍

[@ridewitholdgrizz582]

It is obvious that you feel of the mountains deep in your soul. Thank you for taking this old man along on your ride.

[@v4s-moto-tales]

Leo, I just binching all of your videos. I really like the calm mood and the relaxed driving. Can't wait to hit the roads with my hopefully soon incoming Multistrada V4S '25 ... my hands are itching like hell to get some nice twisties 😀 Thank you for all the work you do on you videos!

[@v4s-moto-tales]

forgot something important: Have always a good ride and happy xmas to you and your family ;-)

[@LNRmoto]

Thanks for the kind words! I bet you can’t wait for the MTS coming in. Have loads of fun and ride safe! 🙌🏼

[@v4s-moto-tales]

@ yeah 😊😊😊✌️🍻

[@stephenrice9497]

Thanks for another great episode; brought back some good memories of riding around that area in May 22! Wishing you a very merry Christmas and looking forward to the next episode!!

[@ADVRydrBloke]

Your emotion is infectious. I love how the simple things can bring out an maternal love for our little blue dot. I experienced this the first time I rode into the great outback here in Australia. It's a complete contrast to the snow capped mountains where you are but none the less the desert has its own beauty to behold. There is something very humbling about realizing your the only person for hundreds of kilometers and you can see horizon to horizon with nothing more than a shrub and a rock to keep you company. Keep up the great work. I'm so glad I stumbled across your channel..❤

[@LNRmoto]

Thanks a lot, glad you enjoyed it. So many sceneries and so many emotions - all best felt on a bike! Merry Xmas 🎄

Hi Leonoor. I just discovered your channel and am binge-watching your Alps series. Totally loving it! i watch with a notepad next to me and am building a very nice ‘must visit’ list. Thank you!

[@LNRmoto]

Thanks for following, keep track on that list - it might explode anytime soon 🙌🏼 I myself pinned everything on google maps in seperate lists

[@johanlemmens9328]

Hoi Leonore of is het Leonoor. Enkele weken geleden kwam één van je reisverslagen in het lijstje voor tijdens mijn voorstudie voor het maken van mijn eigen plannen. Na het bekijken van die episode werd mijn honger naar meer nog groter. Inmiddels heb ik je trip op Gran Canaria uitgekeken en de reeds geplaatste verslagen van je laatste Alpentrip. Gewoon prachtig. Dat je emotioneel wordt van een bepaald plaatje of door een bepaalde omgeving, daar moet je je niet voor verontschuldigen. Dit toont gewoon aan wie je bent als persoon, maar het onderstreept vooral dat je onwijs gelukkig wordt van de schoonheid van eenvoudige dingen "iets wat je in onze materialistische maatschappij niet vaak meer tegenkomt". Wat je reisverslagen nog aantrekkelijker/informatiever kan maken, is een overlay van je route op een kaart. De verhouding plaatjes, ritbeelden, beelden van leuke ontmoetingen, dronebeelden ... is prima. Het geeft een mooie/goede totaalimpressie. P.S. mits toevoeging van routegegevens kom je minstens op het niveau van Noralee wat mij betreft. Blijf gewoon je droom leven en geniet van je volgende reizen. Prettige feestdagen en all the best for the future en je volgende reizen.

[@arnoutvanwijk4916]

Getting emotional for seeing the true beauty of this world makes you a beautiful person, in my eyes. Wonderful episode with amazing scenery and nice people. Thank you. Merry Christmas.

[@LNRmoto]

Isn't it the best, really? Mountains can bring me to tears any day. Merry Xmas 🎅

[@artsilaakso7773]

I'm from Finland and I got chills when I saw you riding Col de I'zeran and Col de Isoard. I've been there once and enjoyed riding there. The desert was amazing. You make awesome videos and it feels that you put your heart and soul to your videous. Than you!

[@nealeburgess6756]

Hi Elenor, yes thanks. I am loving your trip so far. You are whetting my appetite for my trip to the French Alps next May. However, I will stay mainly on tarmac. Sadly, my bike is too heavy for me to offroad. I have just enjoyed a beautiful ride out today , with friends, in the Serrania De Ronda, behind the Costa Del Sol in lovely Andalucia. Here where I live is also a paradise for motorcyclists, and we have had a lovely sunny day (December 24th).

Y también puedo ver tu cara de felicidad cuando dices: "Enduro mode", ¡jajaja! ¡Feliz Navidad, te veo el año próximo! Bye!!!

I have loved camping with my bike, but I haven’t been for a long time, due to being cold in the night . If there is a solution please let me know, on a bike your very limited to space, so I can’t fit a all season sleeping bag on , and I’ve tried those liners as well, I didn’t rate them tbh Love watching your adventures, please keep them coming 😁👌

[@nofrontiersmotoadvs]

hi LNR, I'm really enjoying your style of telling stories and showing the beauty of the Alps, I'm Italian, and now I've lived in Brazil for 20 years and when I lived in Milano I never had the opportunity to travel along these paths... WONDERFUL. On the other side, I know Patagonia and South America very well, I've already done 5 solo expeditions totaling 80,000 km, always with my DUCATI 1200 ENDURO, in April 2024 I'm going on my 6th expedition. I recently bought a DJI MIC, I was curious to know your setup, where do you place the transmitter inside the helmet, do you use a lavalier with it? etcetera… great audio makes a difference! Thank you very much, and if you travel to these parts of the world let me know! Saluti.

Hola buen año nuevo , lindos videos, , one subtítulos en Español desde ya muchas gracias 👍👍👍👍🌹

Hit that subscribe button. Norally (Itchie Boots) has 2 million. Maybe that is a bit hard to achieve, but I really hope you can make a good success, and maybe career with your videos (and of course your stills).
