EP1 | Northwest Territories Bound

Northwest Territories Bound
Episode One
Join me as I ride from Vermilion Bay, Ontario to Yellowknife, Northwest Territories on my little 2012 883!
Episode one brings much rain, even more bugs and a whole lot of prairie.

I'm on day nineteen and 5600 miles of a motorcycle trip. Just got into my hotel in New Mexico. Received notification of a new Laura video a few minutes ago, and dropped everything I was doing, it can wait. Sat down and watched your latest video. So nice to see a new one, a lovely treat I wasn't expecting today. Like finding money I had long forgotten about in my coat pocket. Thanks for sharing it, Laura

[@lauradanielle1991]

Your comment sure brought a smile to my face- That’s awesome! Keep enjoying the ride! 19 days… I sure am envious. Wishing you sunny skies and many, many open roads. 😊

Thanks for sharing all your adventures. Nice to see a genuine person enjoying life. I ride solo also. In Texas

[@lauradanielle1991]

The amount of time I spend dreaming of riding around Texas again is profound. You’re so lucky! Many great solo adventures to you. 😃

[@DaleBear-x2q]

I very much enjoy your videos. Keep up tge good work.

[@lauradanielle1991]

Thanks, will do!

[@timschouten4671]

Hello Laura, good to see you again! Yes , the first days of vacation you always have to get ‘ loose’ from the work routine.. but riding the bike always helps… what a beautiful country you are living in..🤗

[@lauradanielle1991]

So true! Thank you for the comment!

[@johngeorg9491]

Thanks! I am sooooo jealous! (ok perhaps envious......that just sounds a bit better I guess). lol

Lovely to see you back Laura wasn't expecting another trip so was very surprised when you popped up. Hope it's a bit warmer for you this trip and hopefully you get some nice weather. Can't wait for the rest of the series, as for working two jobs that's a bummer. Hope you have fun and ride safe ❤

[@lauradanielle1991]

Thankfully it’s warmer! Thank you for the comment. 😀

Hi Laura, really nice to have you back riding and posting your new journey. Wish you well and look forward to the beautiful Canadian sights and all you will show us along the way. Ride easy, ride well and stay warm and dry.

[@lauradanielle1991]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@AgentJayZ]

First time viewer. Actually saw part 2 just before this. Old man with 350 thousand Km riding. I don't know what a real Harley rider is, but I know what a real rider is, and you are one for sure. Very impressed with your determination. I wish you success and great enjoyment on your journey. Hopefully you are about a month ahead of your vids, because by Labor Day, it's time to head home from the NWT, eh?

[@lauradanielle1991]

Thank you so much, your comment made my day!

[@Ravenhd]

its getting late in the year to head north hope your ready for more chilly weather, safe travels and take care.

Thanks for the new videos !!!!

[@lauradanielle1991]

[@chunkybullmoto]

Great video! I’m not knocking the 883, but I think you are right about needing/wanting an adventure style bike. It would make your travels on the gravel roads much easier.

[@lauradanielle1991]

Totally agree- I love my 883, but it’s limiting in plenty of ways!

[@ipdjbt]

You're working too much, but you're also living the dream! I've always wanted to grab an adventure bike and ride through Canada to Alaska.

[@lauradanielle1991]

The Dempster’s Highway is on my bucket list… can you imagine? What a dream! Thank you so much for the $10- that’s a tank of gas… or $10 in the piggy bank for an adventure bike. 😄

[@506motoadv]

Excited to watch this series as it unfolds. Planning a Tuk trip in a few years and I'm always looking for hints on places to check out on my way. Your ability to capture the beauty in even the most mundane sights or scenes is a gift and I hope to be able to capture something similar in my own videos. Cheers!

[@lauradanielle1991]

Thank you! Oh man, I’m excited for your trip.

[@melvinrileyiii2549]

Nice to see you back out on the road enjoying yourself. Wow two jobs yeah you need some free time 😊😊 and you're in your homeland. I noticed the weather still looking cool there up north. Well I enjoyed the video you put together, country looks real humble and nice to visit. Thanks and stay safe and have a excellent voyage out there Laura 😊😊😊😊!!

[@lauradanielle1991]

Thank you!! 😊

[@brucemorrison3563]

Shes back.Love seeing your travels on your moto.Gas stations must be few and far between.You might want to cut back on the rain dance before you start your trips.Although i imagine its not cold like your last trip.Look foward to your next video. Peace.

[@lauradanielle1991]

Your comment made me smile- I’ll tuck away my rain dancing shoes for now. 😃

[@marcvielfaure7701]

Really good to see you back. You must be getting better with the Drone because you got some beautiful shots of Manitoba. I look forward to your next episode.

[@lauradanielle1991]

Thank you! I need to branch out with my drone motions, but I always get nervous when I can’t see it in the sky anymore. 😅

Just got back from a ride today and Laura’s back 😆Great to see you’re on the road again ! Looks like you been beating your tank over the spring ! Be nice to her till you get a PanAm 😂

[@salorjim1000]

Hi Laura, great to see you in a new video. Your filming is great, I have a lot to learn! After Labor day I hope to do a couple of bike trips. I have several bikes the newest a Triumph Bonneville T-120 but my Honda NC750 is the one that I have put together as a "touring" bike so will probably use that one on the first few trips. I have to make it to Canada some day it looks beautiful up there. Looking forward to your next video!

[@lauradanielle1991]

Wow, I’ve always loved the Bonneville! I wish you well on your many adventures after Labour Day. If you ever make it up to the great white north, there’s many beautiful remote roads worth riding. 😊

[@salorjim1000]

@@lauradanielle1991 Thanks Laura, the Honda's are pretty functionally good but a bit boring but the Bonneville's got all the style and classic looks. I also have a Royal Enfield Classic 350 which is also has a great classic feel to it, it's just lacking in the power department so have to watch my routes to stay off the major interstates.

[@richardmourdock2719]

GREAT!! I was hoping you might head in that direction. I'm guessing the shot of you wearing the mask was not to fight the cold but the mosquitos. This yank has been in every Canadian province except Nunavut... and if it had a road..... Explore it all while you are young Laura. The spirit of Alexander McKenzie is smiling! (Though I don't suggest you should carve your name and the date in a tree.) And gravel truly sucks. Good decision making (not that I would ever expect you to have any bad decision making!) The music and pace were perfect.

[@lauradanielle1991]

Thank you for your comment, it put a smile on my face! Wow, every Canadian province eh? I still have the east coast to explore- it’s just hard to find the time!!

[@richardmourdock2719]

@@lauradanielle1991 I've ridden from SW Indiana to Newfoundland twice. And this US citien has to say, it has the friendliest people I've ever met. I'm not the most out-going person, but they made me feel I didn't want to leave. Definitely add Newfoundland to your list.

Good ride, thanks for sharing it with me. I know that road from Kenora to Winnipeg pretty well. Spent the summer of '79 there as a 16yr old, so it was good to see it again.

I sure wish I could have seen the road in ‘79- I can only dream. 😊

I do! I work in a campground and I also paint parking lot/road lines. Sometimes I do a bit of landscaping for businesses in the area too.

[@Bikerboy-vg6se]

Good to see you back again Laura and camping this time. Doesn't 3 fuel cans that high up make the bike feel very top heavy? Safe travels.

[@lauradanielle1991]

I didn’t notice any difference in balance- just mental stress 😅. Thoughts of, “I wonder how many pounds I’m exceeding this backpack of…” or, “what do I do if this rack snaps in two…” ran through my mind quite a bit.

[@MotorcycleRideVideo]

480 miles is a lot. But happenstance finding that campground would be cool. I know it's July but as a Texan it boggles my mind people are still in puffy coats there.

Hi Laura, not sure how long of a delay you have on your videos, but you'll be riding right past my home. when you get farther north the services get a little sparse, if there's anything you need, or if I can buy you lunch, send me a message. safe travels.

[@lauradanielle1991]

Thank you!!! That’s so kind of you.

[@toslow9045]

awesome vid as usual, Three gas jugs, wow how does it balance when they are full? grab a fatbob tank and slam it on the sporty.

[@lauradanielle1991]

I’ve thought about getting a bigger tank but haven’t pulled the trigger just yet! The cans didn’t throw off the balance too much. But it was stressful carrying them- them. They exceeded the weight limit of the backrack greatly.😅

[@ericgardner3020]

New adventures! 😊 I was curious too about the gas you carry, do you use gas out of the red cans as you need fuel to help lighten your load as you ride or do you just use that fuel if you need to between gas stations? Hope your bubble gum remained Bug Free?! Great video.

[@lauradanielle1991]

I only keep one can topped up, but then fill the others when I know I might need them!
