FRENCH ALPS SOLO motorcycle trip - Col de la Bonette and many BLISSFUL moments Ducati Desert X EP.3

- Riding on the Bonette brings out deep emotions as I think about the rocky path I've had. I'm so incredibly thankful I am able to leave for two months as a freelancer in the motorcycle industry. Being severely overworked, burned out multiple times and not being happy overall I decided some years ago that I really needed to make some big changes in my life. And to be out here adventuring and documenting everything feels like I'm dreaming.
Thanks to some great tips from @lolloontheroad I discovered Lac des Sagnes, a great offroad ride towards this beautiful lake. And to top it all of? I met some amazing Dutchies on my campsite.
A two month trip to remember for ever - August 19th 'till October 15th. Three years ago I rode the France Alps with my Monster821 and now I'm back (for more)!

Follow your dream, feel the sun on your face and the bike under you. This was a very powerful video. I felt it in my soul. I am 72 years old and still ride. I wish I could ride in Europe, but , it won't happen for this old biker as life is getting in the way.
I have a lot more years behind me that I have ahead of me, but watching your videos let's me tag along with you.
Thank you.
Thank you very much for sharing, happy to hear you’re still riding. Keeps us young huh!
The rising tide of your emotions is nature healing you. All those years of constraint, suppression and unhappiness has come to the surface to be released now you are FREE. Let it go.
Ride happy.
Some youtubers make travel videos, you bring your audience on the journey, a beautiful and emotional one at that. Thankyou for brightening up a wet dark sunday evening.
Thank you very much
Not many can do what they enjoy, so follow your heart.
Hey!! Elenoor, no apology needed. I love the fact that you can show your emotions and let us see how sweet you are. You are not only sharing with us your fabulous videos and photos, but also the real you. Thank you. Lots of love from Gene in Tennessee.

Always remember you are here on this earth for a( Good Time ).not a long time . Enjoy xx
I’m so happy for you my eyes teered up. You are very brave. I took 35 years off from riding motorcycles and returned to riding this year, I get it. Your photography is wonderful and you are beautiful. God’s speed ride safe. 😊
What an amazing episode, I absolutely loved it. I’m so pleased that you are making your dreams come true and I completely understand why you get so emotional baby, there’s another song for you right there! 🤣 Seriously, I’m so happy that you have made your dreams come true as an adventure rider, photographer and filmmaker! 🖤
the bike and luggage color really fits together, best looking bike on yootoob
true moments and feelings there , i followed you because i liked the smooth way you project the places and the bike. All goes along with a positive vibe , but after seeing you emotional like this and enjoying the little moments so much you have gained my heart and support. we must keep you going ! i will follow you on more social platforms. From a biker to another biker keep it up !!!!
When you where talking to the people from Italy on the Ducati and Africa Twin's at 15:51, did you notice the heart in the puddle. Mother Nature loves you.
The desolate "Le Camp des Fourches" is a high mountain military barracks built from 1888, still used in WWII and renovated in 2016-18. Beautifully filmed from above 😍And you always liked the color green
I've been there, several times. French Alps are unbelievable beautiful, almost unreal. The way you experienced it... I know the feeling, it's magic and worth tears of joy and happiness. I love your footage, hope you keep going like this!!
Tears of happiness and beauty at the same time. Where you realize that your dream has become reality. And again stunning sceneray and pictures.
Can't wait for the next episode in which you go back over the Bonette towing that caravan!
Sunday just got better 😊
# I send it to you as if you were traveling for me^^ It is 3:38 am here. I hope you have a safe trip today as well.. 🍒🙆♂️))
☀️🌄😂☀️👏
Loving your emotional highs. Don’t think there isn’t times where us guys may shed a tear on a ride too. We just keep our tinted visor down and say something like “cool” 😅
Much Love and Joy! ❤👏
You choose some of the most amazing roads/routes. It’s not wonder the views combined with being on the bike and your new future that it gets to you at times. I’m so glad to have discovered your channel. You are inspiring me to go travelling on my own bike solo more in the near future.
You won't regret it going out there on the bike 🙌
wat maak jij mooie content zeg! En dan ook nog zo open zijn over alles wat je mee (ge)maakt (hebt). Top!
Beautiful scenery with less than OK roads. Those less travelled do bring surprises. Chapeau.
Well worth the wait, thank you for sharing. At times you got to let it all out girl!!
wow, the older tenere and africa twin those guys were on! and yes, that road!!! you made the right decision tyo go on that! wow, small world when it comes to meeting people.....sláinte!
Wow! Great nature, i have no problems to see why you was getting some emotions and tears while watching that scenery, very catching.
I wish you a Merry Christmas!
Seeing golden light fall on meadows and mountains... weeping from joy is perfectly fine. It reminds us we're alive.
A very special episode- Many thanks.
That's great to be so happy! Thanks for sharing the moment and trip with us.
Mercikes voor jou verhalen
Two things that resonated with me Leonor,
You don't mind getting wet,
You are in no great hurry, Great mindset, Loved the ride, Thanks, 👍
((nigh on 50 years ago, I camped at SOSPEL on the French side of the Italian border, I'll never forget it))
With the right clothing I don't mind the rain indeed. Sometimes I'm in more of a hurry, but this trip I decided to do everything in a more relaxed pace and that helped tremendously for my mindset. Thank you - I bet that must've been a great camping spot
I love all your fantastic videos !
I will try to follow your path this summer with my old 2016 Africa Twin. You are a great guide ! All the best !
とても素敵なツーリング
いつかそんな景色を走ってみたいものです
これからも楽しみにしています
Ergens ben ik best wel jaloers op jou. Ik zit nog steeds vast in een geestdodende 9 to 5 baan, maar dankzij jou en andere volggers zoals Noraly en Saffy, heb ik op mn 54ste toch eindelijk de eerste stappen gezet en begonnen met mn motorpapiertje. AVD over 2 weken! Dank je voor je video's. Rij veilig.
Onthoud dat het nooit te laat is om daar verandering in te brengen, maar kan mij voorstellen dat het geen makkelijke keuze is. Vanuit mijn perspectief is dat ik mijzelf echt niet meer gelukkig zag worden in het werkveld waarin ik zat en mijn energie moest verplaatsen waar ik zeker weten verder mee wilde: motoren. Gaaf dat je je rijbewijs wilt gaan halen, heel veel succes!
Amazing, thanks for taking us on your journey…….
You're living the dream so many people want keep up the good work loving it 💙🏴
you are just a wonderful person who has found what you want....go for it❤🤞💪
Some people change their lives and use their skills to motivate others to do the same and you’re one of them! What an amazing video Leonor, thanks for sharing such personal feelings. Keep it out, you’re doing great! 👍👍
Weer een ontroerend mooie aflevering Leonoor. Prachtig! En Col de la Bonette is inderdaad zo mooi. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Every time I watch your YT videos or IG posts, I feel lucky to have "discovered" you on the Canary Ride IG page.
I think I've already told you in a past comment or so, but I'll say it again, I identify myself a lot with you and your lifestyle (and occupation), as I'm a huge fan of motorbikes, photography and beautiful landscapes in nature.
I hope that one day I will be able to find a way to support myself, riding a motorbike and photographing landscapes and moto content... That for me is quality of life, a big goal.
Keep inspiring all of us!
Cheers from Portugal
Was there a few years ago ,have photos of ghost village .
Great memories
Thank you for the inspiration and the dreaming ❤ I just swapped my BMW K1600 GT for a R 1250 GSA… and i can’t wait to follow your path… You’re a wonderful passion communicator and i hope I’ll experience at least some of your emotions 🤗🤗🤗
I hope you do too!
Awesome video! I love the emotion. What a great adventure for you. Best!
hey Girl. I was there for the first time during the week of Alpes Aventure Festival early September. It was one of the highlights of my 8 weeks trip around Europe. This also made me want to up-skill myself in order to be able to do this full time. I wish you the very best. Bon courage. Á bientot
Ey... Saludos desde Colombia 🇨🇴
Don't ever feel sorry for the ability to cry, and feel and express it, Leonoor. Don't regret making the choice that leads to the right and correct path for you - regardless of what others might think of it.
There's the regular clock time - chronos - that none of us can do anything about, but there's also something called chairos, when time, place, circumstances, people all kind of "line up" and it is all just perfect. After you making a for you crucial decision, I think you might have ended up in just the right place, and at convenient time in your life. It might not last, but at least enjoy while it happens. I truly think you do just that, and you deserve it.
Utterly amazing journey! I completely get the sudden and overwhelming surge of emotions you felt.
Beautiful scenery. Ride safe.
I wish I could do it it looks amazing its just so difficult fom ireland
Enjoying your trips Robin.
Ok 👏🎉👍
Diepe respect!
Just go for your dreams and let your inner self guide you forward, not easy to do but the payback would be incredible!!!!!!!!
hi Leonoor! I'm the guy from DesertX on the Sagnes lake road… thanks for including us in your video! congratulations for your travels and your reports and…. good luck girl!!!
That is so cool! How did you find the video? And yeah, absolutely, loved your bikes!
Your videos are very beautiful! Congratulations
Ride safe always ma'am😊
From 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
very nice video, thanks
Hello,
I was washing my Africa Twin yesterday after a ride round Exmoor and my neighbour from two doors up stopped by and we got chatting. I mentioned I was heading to Italy via the Alps this year, and he's doing the same albeit on pedal power. I also mentioned I follow a rider on TH-cam who has some great routes, not to mention excellent photography and videography. He said he does the same and he would share the link. It turns out we both know quality because he sent me this link! In a small Devon village, of a dozen houses, you have two keen subscribers!
Keep up the great content. My wife's not a biker but she's a keen photographer and watches also.
All the best.
How in the world is this possible?! That is SO awesome!! This really made my day
They call it Serendipity, the gift of finding valuable or agreeable things not looked for. ......maybe it's a bit like toevalstreffer in Dutch? Cheers!
Fucking hell indeed!! Your stuff is very personal 😊 I enjoy "riding" along with you, I like the way you look at scenery through a photographer's eyes rather than just a tourist
You'll be the next itchy boots with quality productions like this 👍
stunning heh, ow man :) Volg je net, super leuk en ook om ideeen op te doen
It's tough when life hits you hard, both good and bad, but that it is where we learn. You made the right choice, going freelance, both for your self, and for us, so we get to enjoy your beautiful work! 😉😊 Very beautiful video Leo, love the emotions you show! Keep up the great work!
8'39" que d'émotions...
Nice vedio 🎉❤
Maravillosa ruta y en moto es otro nivel ✌️
Zo echt hoe je je video’s maakt. Ik kan daar echt van genieten. En jij ook, gezien je tranen. Goede keuze die je gemaakt hebt na overspannen geweest te zijn. En ik krijg weer rust van jouw video’s. Dank, veel plezier nog en blijf mij en alle andere kijkers inspireren!
......absolutely love the stills and video you capture. Breathtaking in many of them. Love also the vivid sense of journey and adventure throughout ❤
Very enjoyable to watch 😊. Sometimes you wear goggles and was wondering why?
Earth 🌍 gets us emotional of its beauty thats for sure thanks for another good movie Leonoor 🙏
👍
lagrimas de felicidad , tranquilidad y libertad serás inspiración para muchos .... besos y abrazos
Hi Leonoor.
I think you made a good decision changing your life. Hope you have'nt regretted it. It has also given us, your followers, chance to see your fantastic films. One can see that you have a good eye for the scenery.
Kind regards from Denmark
You are a Beautiful Soul and your content is refreshing and uplifting ❤, You are amazing , onward and upwards, what a great adventure...
Super, relaxing video. Thanks for taking us along!
hi, very nice footage, well filmed. La Bonette is a wonderfull pass. last summer in june the loop around the top was still closed due to the snow. Now i know how it looks. those mountains can tear out the tears , maybe because its all flat in the netherlands. Anyway, good that your perspective is so positive now. Camp thes fourches is an ancient militairy camp. Must have been a hard life those days. safe riding.
Geweldig mooie rit heb je daar gemaakt! Je video's zijn super. 👍🏻
Well that was worth waiting for, a very emotive vlog this week which encapsulates your passion for motorcycles and adventure again thank you for sharing your journey, amazing scenery. Love your work 👏👌😎
Beautiful video ,beautiful country ,beautiful lady
Beautiful video. I've traveled to that part of France and it is truly stunning. Your story is full of passion and a real inspiration to watch. Thanks
Great video thank you very well done thanks for taking us along cheers to ya.
07:25 is where I nearly dropped my fully loaded KTM 1290 Super Adventure. My foot slipped on the gravel and I thought it was down but I managed to save it 😱🙏👌
Einfach Fantastisch, ich genieße deine Videos ❤ bitte mehr davon…. Viel Glück weiterhin auf deinen Reisen….bleib gesund 🍀🍀🍀🍀
Have been waiting for your next episode for a while, it was worth the wait
Weer mooie beelden , je mag zeker huilen van vreugde. Wij zijn blij dat je dit werk nu doet en genieten volop met je mee 🏆👍🏼
Such a beautiful inspirational video, thank you for sharing your journey with us
Great to see you back ,giving us some fantastic video content and some beautiful views , it amazes me if you don’t manage to fined accommodation you don’t seem to panic😊, I use to get flustered 😢,it’s a small world,and getting smaller when you meet someone living close by,
I sometimes do get frustrated, as in this episode where I just didn't want to wait for 30mins to see if someone would come to the reception. After checking off some other campsites that had no availability, I tried the last one and there they had options. I'm learning by doing that sometimes it goes as planned and sometimes you spent hours looking for a place to sleep haha
Ciao, ho scoperto i tuoi video in questi giorni, li sto' guardando tutti....belli! Sei molto speciale. Hai una moto stupenda.
Mi sono iscritto con piacere. Purtroppo posso godermi solo le immagini.....perche' il mio inglese e' scarso e non capisco una parola. Mi dispiace.
Great to see you back on screen! so refreshing to see the fantastic views from France through your camera. All the best to you for more of the same great content.
Absolutely touching. Love it!
I was last up there in 2016 with my late partner just before she was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease. She died in 2017.
I'm so sorry to read that and for your loss. I hope you have fond memories of that trip
I do. I am really enjoying your trip too. Thank you for sharing. I particularly appreciate how much effort goes into making the videos ... or have you found some video editing software that is quick and easy to use that actually makes good videos? @@LNRmoto
Glad to hear that. I haven’t found a editing program that does all the work for me, it will always be an intense project in terms of hours, but I like to do it and a qualitative end product for everyone to watch 🙌🏼
❤️👏👏👏👍
What a beautelful video, so stunning and breathtaking. I really understand why the tears, i would do the same thing. Thank for letting us with you, on this journey.
I really wanna support you, but i haven't money to spare, is there any other way i can support you and your channel?
Yours sincerely
The Dane from Denmark.
Thank you for your comment and glad you enjoyed. If not with money I'd be more than happy with subscribtion/likes and shares which will also help my channel get more exposure and for me all the more reason to keep this side of my job up! Thank you very much
Weer een mooie aflevering, dat stukje gravel van 11km binnendoor richting Barcelonette, waar is dat precies ?))😉
De locatie staat in de video ;)
Another great video! Makes you want to start planning your own bike trip! What tent do you use when you go on these trips?:)
Brilliant ! Another dutch girl doing wonderful motorbike travels.On a different note I wish i could get footage as good as yours with my gopro tho,how the hell do you do it ?
Thank you, I film everything on 4k/60fps, have changed my settings a bit, but don't do any color corrections etc in editing. Hope this helps!
What month did you visit France Alpes?
Hi,that lake it´s not seems Lac des Sagnes...
Alleen is zo alleen en tog heelemaal niet alleen
I am so sorry but I do not like the colour of your bike. Looks old 😅
Maby it is just me😂
The buildings you pass on the way up are a former army outpost. It is know as the Camp de Fourches.
