EP.3 - Roaming WALES - SOLO MOTORCYCLE TRIP UK - Horseshoe Pass, Snowdonia and Holyhead - Desert X

[@ONLYJOKING101]

Live about 20 miles from Llangollen. Nice seeing my local area through someone else's eyes

[@markaitch]

Loving the photography. It’s great to hear lovely comments from someone not from the UK as we take the scenery for granted sometimes.

[@bandit61000]

Just been to Ynys Lawd today. Had a lovely time with my wife. Coffee and a bite to eat in the cafe afterwards. Het was een geweldig dagje uit.

[@steveh100]

It took till you were in my neck of the woods for you to pop up on my you tube feed, its enjoyable seeing what others think, thank you for being kind, I ride around all the time and as long as you're ok with rain its generally good, especially if you keep off the usual biking roads.

[@michaelmcconville8454]

Really glad you enjoyed my home country. Great to see someone like yourself showcasing my local area. Enjoy your riding and keep safe.

[@LNRmoto]

It’s a beautiful area, was very happy I got to go there as short as it may have been. I’ll be back!

[@bandit61000]

Altijd leuk om Nederlanders in Wales te zien. U bent altijd welkom. Croeso cynnes pob amser.

[@Carl-s6t]

Im being blessed by the wonderful photography and video. Thank you very much.

[@Trevsadventuremotocyclin-uq6wr]

We have some beautiful roads here in north wales you are doing well keep it up 👍 😊 ATB Trev

[@randolph795]

Great video. Of course there will be rain but without it there will be greyish green rather than the lovely vibrant green.

[@blowduke]

As least you had the right weather did it a few weeks ago in high winds and thunderstorms 👍

[@LNRmoto]

It was partly really great weather, but also some serious rain and strong winds. You’ll see some in the next episode Sunday 🙌🏼 gotta say, I loved both haha

[@Carl-s6t]

Thank you I felt like I was with you. You are doing great.

[@FQChass1s]

Awesome video - you are a natural presenter,

[@PaulNijenhuis]

Wales is beautiful! You've pictured it very well! Makes me want to go there... maybe next year!

[@LNRmoto]

Good that you want to go, exactly as I want it to go haha! It's closeby and very doable for a week

[@IAMDENRIDEPOV]

The natural landscape route is wonderful. I love your adventure

[@fazertace6837]

Thanks for visiting my beautiful country. Hope you enjoyed it. Cymru am byth🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@Meifesto]

Such beauty there.

[@thewoodster8607]

What a lovely video. You deserve more subs. I used to live on Anglesey many years ago and loved chugging my XL125 up to South Stack. Trearddur Bay would be lovely in that weather as well. North Wales and Wales in general is motorcycle heaven. Enjoy.

[@dasvtx]

Beautiful countryside. Thanks for sharing your ride.

[@Merthyr-Dave]

Thanks for a great video. I really enjoyed it, and also, you speak so clearly explaining it all. You are doing a great job. Ride safely.

[@IanTed]

Wales, stunning scenery and biking roads, lots of sheep, wet weather and slippery fords. Great biking country and where I lived for five years, next year I’ll be back for a week’s holiday😀

[@LNRmoto]

I didn't expected it to be this beautiful, amazing place to live I presume!

[@Merthyr-Dave]

Forgot to say you also took some fantastic photos .

[@teresap.1544]

Another cool video! Love your pictures inbetween 🔥

[@erwinwinarno]

Superb!!!

[@privatebribert]

My neck of the woods,I’m from Prestatyn.Nice video I really enjoyed it

[@stewartsmith8642]

Beuatiful scenery & some great pics, looks like a lot of fun enjoy your self and ride safe looking forward to the next video 😊

[@kchodron406]

Great video! Very nice photography. I hadn't come across your channel before but I guess it came up because I just moved to Holyhead. I love biking along the coast roads here with the sea on one side & the amazing views of the mountains. Looking forward to watching the rest of your Wales trip then I'll check out your channel 🙂.

[@ashleyvandescheur]

Wauw! wat gaaf om daar te kunnen rijden! Hoop volgend jaar eindelijk mijn motorrijbewijs te halen na jaren twijfelen haha. Maar deze video helpt daar zeker bij 😊

[@LNRmoto]

Wat leuk te horen! Hoop dat je het rijbewijs snel hebt en dan lekker kunt genieten van het ontdekken. Zoveel moois te zien!

[@dalewintle8099]

New subscriber great 3 episodes of your UK adventure , Wales is stunning place for us bikers glad you enjoyed your adventure , next time you are over also check out the Peak District , that's not too far from the ABR festival either 👍

[@tonyhewitt1345]

A great show Leonoor. I'm looking forward to your next installment.😊

[@LNRmoto]

Stay tuned for more, just finished editing EP4

[@MrMesospheric]

Definitely come back to Wales! We'll show you even better places, where the tourists don't go!

[@FRUITSWITHROOTS]

Great content

[@TheAZ3R]

👌I know this is an Old Video but if you find yourself in Wales again you really must visit Portmeirion Village,You would absolutely love the place and surrounding area especially Porthmadog.

[@motechRevolution]

Subscribed. I know the area very well, you cover some ground in a day. Amazing photography and editing

[@RE650NZGraeme]

Enjoyed your video, relaxed style and great conversational tone. I enjoyed the still pics and the stream - we want more!! Love your bike, Desert-X ideal for you!!

[@khadimaliburiro1749]

Lovely video ❤

[@sushruttalekar]

I could almost feel the wind… the camera angles and entire production quality is so good. Thanks for documenting these experiences, Leonoor. Will be helpful when I plan my rides to Europe 😍

[@LNRmoto]

Thanks a lot, make sure to keep an eye out on my channel as I plan on doing French Alps and/or Swiss Alps too soon! And when my website goes live, you can search for lots of places and routes to include in your EU plans 😄

[@markwallace9436]

Hi there LNR, great video. I did watch the video the first time as you posted it and with the same opinion as now, but I do have a question which is going to be along shot here. I have rode that area many times, but I'm so puzzled as to the road you are riding on around the 10 minutes 40 seconds point in the video, the point where you was on the wrong side of the road 😂, but have you any recollection as to what that road is and where? I know the pass you was on and well, and you said you was going to loop around there, but then that's me done, you got me totally lost I'm afraid. Many thanks if you can help.....Mark

[@LNRmoto]

Hi Mark, let me try to explain as I can't find a road number, but you can navigate to "Snowdonia Mountain Hostel". It a road next to the Nant Ffrancon Pass and like stated you could ride a loop there. I couldn't unfortunately as there was an event or something going on, but it's supposed to be very beautiful!

[@markwallace9436]

I found it with your help, I'm really grateful, thank you so much and will certainly be riding that as soon as the salt is washed away. Looking forward to more video's and keep enjoying what your doing so well @@LNRmoto

[@genestatler2514]

Wow!! What a gorgeous ride you took us on Leonoor!! Wales is certainly a beautiful country. As I've told you before, I love the artistry of your still shots. Lots of love from Gene in Tennessee.🤩

[@LNRmoto]

Thanks so much Gene, I'm glad you liked it! Wales is breathtaking.. stay tuned for more

[@gordonroberts8206]

Looking forward to the next video hope you will be doing Llanberis pass great for pictures

[@onhistiger]

Come down to Devon i can take u on a tour

[@lizdg3892]

Beautiful.

[@chema1546]

Ok 👏🎉👍

[@ibrahheboeid1082]

Leo, you are beautiful, and your pictures are more beautiful. You are creative❤❤

[@tonyireland1434]

Love the video, I'm old school I like to listen to your documentary and the motorcycle engine, not music but great video, I'm a biker too, keep her between the ditches.

[@alanalan3290]

Great video and fantastic biking roads in the area, done Ponderosa, Horseshoe Pass, Bala and over to the tops to Lake Vyrnwy today which I have done many times over the years but be careful of the sheep as they have a tendency to run out in front of you!!!! 👍

[@LNRmoto]

It's a beautiful area haha and those sheep, I laughed way to much because of them

[@Jules750..]

Hi iam new to channel and iam really enjoying your content ❤❤

[@philread386]

I know the area around Llangollen quite well. There is a road called the Panorama that takes you above the town. It's high enough to look back into England. There are loads of roads to explore on a bike round there.

[@MotoAndy]

Hi Leonoor. Nice vid and beautiful landscapes of course. You need several charging sockets in your motorcycle, it is necessary for such traveling, I installed, apart from the original factory charger, also additional USB charging sockets, it is enough to charge 3 cameras, a phone, sometimes a drone, etc. Stay safe.

[@LNRmoto]

Yes, working on it as we speak because I will need it anyway. Will probably encounter more of this things I miss while I'm out riding haha. Thnx!

[@TheWitchboard]

Fantastic video and information, you have a beautiful attitude to life, thank you for sharing.

[@shirleyboy8859]

Firstly Leonoor may I say many congratulations on 7k Subscribers.... Quality always sells.... I am very Happy that you are enjoying your journey.... I have been "Off Road Driving" In North Wales, and it was amazing.....Great Production again.... Keep up the good work.... :-))) xxxxx

[@UncleLongbeard]

Wales always delivers

[@dougm5231]

you were on the right side, and they were on the wrong side. :)

[@rockjock1965]

That’s some of my local roads and ponderosa cafe is good try the chain and sprocket cafe rithin and the Siabod cafe in Capel Curig I live and ride in north wales

[@DenyingFoot]

Great to see you riding through my hometown Llangollen (twice)😃

[@TheAdventuresofPhilJones]

Another great video Leonoor. Wales is amazing isn’t it, so much to see but expect the rain. I love your shots in this episode too, you really capture the skies well without overcooking the processing! I can’t wait for the next episode 😁👍

[@LNRmoto]

I was kinda expecting rain-only, so very happy I had some sunny weather in between. Yes, we don't like pearly white skies, now do we ;) I just finished EP4, so stay tuned!

[@adrianwood3659]

Only found your channel today Leonoor, great content & great attitude. Looking forward to watching the rest of your content, ride safe!

[@Kalsino]

Can only say one thing, go to Scotland. It´s soooooo beautiful. I will say that will be a stunning ride to do, alot of small roads at the Mountains omg they are some for it self. Go also to Oban, and to Isle of Skye, just go don´t think about it.

[@LNRmoto]

it's on my list, as many other places, but TIME! I need more hours in a day haha!

[@EventsTravelPalacios]

Weer een prachtige video en mooie foto's

[@robertbasford1295]

Great little road opposite the A5 nr Ogwen. There is a machine gun post on that road that was put there in WW2 when the British thought the Germans may invade from the Irish sea.

[@rockjock1965]

Nant Francon is my local pass and go to for a quick ride out and back home

[@stevengrindrod2002]

The whole no motorbike thing seems a fairly British thing, and probably dates back to when bikers in general gained a bad reputation due to the actions of a few bad ones. I’ve never come across it anywhere else. However, it’s an attitude that appears to be much rarer than it was, so perhaps it’ll die a natural death. I hope it didn’t spoil your trip. I’ve only recently found your site and am enjoying going back through all your previous trips. Thanks for sharing your experiences. 👍😊

[@CarasDad-and-a-Motorcycle]

What a great vlogger you are. LOVE your bike, absolutely! Same color as my Low Rider S. :)

[@jarrodrowley3662]

Ypu must visit "lake vyrnwy" in wales... beautiful roads and amazing scenery.

[@lucustodio4643]

Conheci seu canal a poucos dias e já estou gostando muito de seu trabalho. Lugares lindos com muito verde e imagens de ótima qualidade. Parabéns !

Subbed, my favourite bike destination Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 great vid thanks for posting

[@LNRmoto]

Thanks, that's nice to hear, more incoming

[@tonyclark-ce3qp]

I’m just purchasing my new triumph t120 soon and will be planning a trip to wales Love watching you any tips would ha appreciated Regards Tony Clark ❤

[@mysterybiker1717]

Welcome to my back yard! You went past my house on the old horseshoe pass. That ford is really slippery, nearly had me off a few times. Too many speed cameras in north wales now.

[@LNRmoto]

That's an awesome place to live. Yes, I've had a few of those moments this trip haha

[@antoinefleuriot2509]

Very much enjoy your videos. I have been to Norway many times in the past and love it but stopped going when they withdrew the Colorline ferry from Norway to England that made it easy(I think it coincided with the opening of the Oresund Bridge a few years later). What is the best route to Norway from England now with a van keeping costs down?

[@rickhughes811]

Where you marked worlds ens water crossing the road I rescued An Adder plus you missed the highland coos ...

[@zzzpip]

nice video,what road is the old horseshoe pass.

[@LNRmoto]

If you navigate to worlds end near the horseshoe pass, than you’re on the “old” one

[@RobPeters-Beeldighout]

You have to try the Devil 's Staircase. Marvelous. 😊

[@LNRmoto]

Stay tuned for my next episodes, it might be in there 😄

[@RobPeters-Beeldighout]

@@LNRmoto oh echt. Ik heb die weg 25 jaar geleden al gereden met mijn motor.

[@95lovi]

You have a very large camera for making photographs, that uses a lot of space when traveling.

[@nuttyoncrypto9863]

Living in the UK.. im totally guilty of taking these area's for granted

[@SolidShot]

Klinkt lekker die Ducati!

[@LNRmoto]

Jawel he! Plopt lekker door

[@Eds_PanAm]

eh, its ok you missed some stuff on the old horshoe pass, getting content is one thing, but living in the moment is what we are here for on this earth i believe.....sláinte

[@stephenstewart4295]

6 mins, 14 seconds is where I fell off bike at very slow speed, it is really slippy!

[@LNRmoto]

It sure was haha!

[@nikkij1618]

I’m really glad you are enjoying riding in my home country but so sad you were told you weren’t welcome as a motorcyclist at one campsite. I’m a motorcyclist myself and am embarrassed that’s the welcome you had. I just do not understand why some campsites in my country won’t allow motorcyclists to camp. Really enjoying your videos thank you 😀

[@LNRmoto]

I was kind of surprised myself as well, but oh well.. nothing to do about it. In the end I had a really great alternative. Glad you enjoyed! Stay tuned for more

[@fizzyridertoo]

There are some old idiots that still think it's the 1960s and the Mods and Rockers are about to start trouble in their neck of the woods. Fortunately they are a pretty rare species and getting rarer every day.

[@ironfistarrival]

England has one of the most beautiful countrysides ,besides all European countries are very beautiful . Unlike Canada where winter lasts at least 7 months and most of Canada is inhabitable .

[@errolhenriksen3600]

i wish that i could drive with you.... my desert x is in for repear... ecu meltdown--- one month almost without driving---and stilll not fixed

[@LNRmoto]

Sorry to hear that, hope it will be fixed soon and you’re good to go!

Yes my bike was finnish repair for a month ago, so i have around 1500 km allready. lol the truble was the 5volt tx from ecu to abs, dcs quickshifter. it is the first time ducati to have this problem. they replaced with a new ecu and updated firmware and all good now. but the season is over , we have 10 cm with snow so i parked in the garage lol. love yr video@@LNRmoto

Love the pictures you took of the area. I'm like the route you took! Wales is a very nice part to ride through.🎉

Please name and shame the camp-site that didn't want motorbikes on !! I hate our country for this 😒... I've never been turned away from camping when on my travels in Europe...

Really nice shots and it's fun to follow your travels. Just a thought on the charging problem. Why not connect up a portable power bank to the 12 volt outlet on your bike? That should be enough to charge up all of your small devices overnight.

[@LNRmoto]

Thanks for following along. I'm working on a usb charger on the handlebar/next to the dash and have a powerfull powerbank in my shopping cart as we speak! So that should solve lots of charging issues on the next trip
