"Two Wheels Three Sheets" is a chronicle of our life living abroad & motorcycling round the world, 2 up on a Honda Africa Twin. After riding solo from my hometown of Los Angeles, California in late 2018, I was joined by Rose in Santiago, Chile to continue our journey south through Patagonia Chilena, to Puerto Natales, the gateway to the famed Torres Del Paine National Park (the crown jewel of Patagonia!). Amidst historic social unrest in Chile, the COVID-19 pandemic, and a prolonged legal battle, we're working hard to save our craft brewery & restaurant, Cerveza Baguales, I founded in 2006.
In the face of an uncertain financial future, and a global health crisis that may forever change the face of overland travel, we struggle to maintain our sanity and forge a path forward, hoping to fulfill our dream of "Adventure Riding" & sailing around the world.

Wow So good So Nice Keep it Up 💯❤👍🙏 New Subscribe
Thank you so much. Welcome to the channel!!
Love watching your content, keep up the great work!
Thanks so much!!!
Due to speed limits, serious accidents ZERO!! :-)
La Paz, what a city. Now, after watching your video, I have to pay a visit to that crazy city.
It's definitely worth a stop! Such a unique city and setting!!
"Rose, I know you love touching dead things" hhaha 😅😆
True story!!! 😅
As good as "Itchy" for sure!!
Thanks!! 🍻
Можно спереводом на русский.Русским зрителям тоже интересно.
Thank you! I'll ask Rose to look into it!! 💪
Looking like gravy .but I'm thinking about 30 years ago .nice going
On a moto, gravy all day... In a passenger bus trying to squeeze past a box truck coming the other direction... not so much!!! 😳
Man that’s sketchy
Keeps things interesting!! 😬
You guys are my favourite duo two up, you are both killing it
Thank you, sir!!! 🍻
Somehow I discovered this video. I started to watch it then realized I am missing a lot of a backstory. I paused this video to watch S3:E66 and was slightly caught up on how this started. Great content. I appreciate the closed captions. You earned a new subscriber.
Awesome! Thank you for the kind words & welcome to the channel! 🍻
I stumbled across Chad and Rose, and am still going through their older episodes.... Top shelf quality channel 👌
Another thrilling episode….. fascinating recount too.
Thank you. We're glad you enjoyed it!!
I first heard of the Death Road on Top Gear. Seems amazing to ride. Anyone who is into this kind of riding and adventure, I'd encourage you checkout the "Cliffhanger section on Killar-Kishtwar Road (now closed)" and "Sach Pass" both in India. Amazing routes.
Yeah, it's definitely a "bucket list" road for a lot of people, and where a lot of people also (unfortunately) kicked the bucket!!! The Himalayas are at the top of our "where next" list, so I'll definitely check those out!! 👍
jeezus . that was scary/eerie situation
Yeah, definitely one of our worst...
Really enjoy watching it. Really not easy to operate motorcycle 🏍️ 👍👏💯
Thank you! The major issue with the Africa Twin is the operator... 😁
My son was toring South America countries last year. He rode down some road, that is claimed to be most dangerous road, in Bolivia on a bicycle. Said there was 6,000 ft elevation change from top to bottom.
That's the Death Road! All the truth told, I think the elevation loss is closer to 9k ft.
First time commenting after watching the whole video, glad you were able to get the clutch going, traffic in La Paz seems to be worse than any traffic that I have seen, very crazy about the Pachamama rituals.
Thanks for watching, we hope you enjoyed it! Yeah, overall, we give Bolivia a 9/10 on the Adventure scale!
Called Death Road for a good reason. Thanks for sharing. Inca rituals pretty strange.Nice cable car network.
DEATH TRAIL!!! 😅
Very well written and narrated as well
Thank you - we try!! ☺️
What an episode So much happened Many thanks
Yeah, Bolivia packs a punch for sure!! Thanks for watching!!!
quite distubing, the tale of the elephant cemetary
Sad indeed... 😪
La Paz traffic is mental
Yeah, it gets pretty spicy! 🤯
Just informing you: right headlight is blown 😉
Ha ha... nope, that's the high-beam... 😁
Ever since the cemetery in Salta I've been thinking about this. You say grave robbers but have you considered it may be an inside job? Llama fetuses (feti?) pack some powerful ju-ju. Or so I've heard from someone who claims personal knowledge. Is it at all possible that those graves were not broken into at all? Rather they were broken out of? And a body poured directly into the foundation? Yikes. I've a friend who installs septic tanks who always puts a dead cat (or other road kill) into the vault before covering over. Says it primes the system to digest....well, whatever might come through the pipe. A body in the basement though, that's just a step too far and downright creepy.
Well, I've heard various stories but so far none of them involve zombies... From what I understand, some of the skulls are come about "honestly"... Apparently, graves in many Municipal cemeteries are merely "leased" for 5 years, after which the bodies are exhumed and the graves reused. The remains of those exhumed can either be claimed by the family, or "recycled" so to speak... However, the primary purpose for this practice is to free up space in crowded cemeteries. That was clearly not the intent in the graves we came across, as the headstones, crypts, and coffins remained, and only the bodies (and sometimes just the skulls themselves) removed. More of a smash and grab job if you ask me... 😬
@@TwoWheelsThreeSheets Smash & grab😂
@amygregfrancisco4372 so to speak... 😬
Another amazing video
Thank you!! 🍻
You need rainex on the visors
Not a bad idea!! 🤔
Ich liebe diese Mischung aus Roadmovie und die Einblicke in die Kultur der besuchten Länder. War selbst dort mit dem Motorrad unterwegs. Macht so weiter, da gibt es nichts zu verbessern.
Thanks for the feedback!! 🍻
I have been watching your videos and they are great. Your channel is on my top 5 for sure, but I have to tell you that I am disappointed with what seems to be a role play after the crash. You were on the ground and Rose was filming you, then she is on the ground and you are filming her back... It doesn't look natural, but this is your channel and your videos. I usually keep these types of comments to myself, but I really like your channel and I thank you both for sharing these videos with all of us. Be safe and enjoy the road (or the lack of it) 😉
You, sir, have a keen eye! First off, thank you for the kind words and for supporting the channel. We both appreciate it! 🍻 Secondly, all of the footage as well as our reactions, etc... are genuine. There are no reenactments or roll playing. Thirdly, I do allow for a bit of "editorial license" when editing. Allow me to expain: We didn't have any actual footage of the initial crash. The GoPro wasn't running. I had been pinned under the bike and rolling around on the ground screaming (quite embarrassingly) for some time before I told Rose to start filming. Everything you saw of me sitting on the ground in front of the bike happened directly after the initial crash. The footage I used of Rose on the ground, was after one of our numerous slow speed tip overs in the sand while attempting to make it to the hostel. I edited various pieces of video from within that 90 or so minute timeframe to help illustrate the story, instead of just smash-cutting to me on the ground. The GoPro wouldn't run for more than about 30 seconds at a time due to the temperatures, so most of the actual footage we got after the crash was taken on our phones in low light, and was garbage. So we did the best we could with the footage we had to tell a compelling story. We'll never fabricate drama or lie for clicks, but I (Chad) really enjoy the editing and stort-telling process in creating these videos, so I'll always do my best to tell a compelling story. (And on occasion, be creative with my editing to help fill in the gaps.) Thanks again for all the kind words! Please hit me up with any more observations. I appreciate a keen eye! Look forward to seeing you on the next one.
@@TwoWheelsThreeSheets thank you for replying back. I really enjoy your channel and I wish one day to be able to do the same. You both share a lot of information on the videos and that's really awesome. Your explanation helped me seeing the other side of the "story" and I am glad you didn't get offended, because of my observation. I admire your strength when faced with challenges, and the positive thinking you always have. Thanks again for sharing these videos with all of us, and for explaining to me better what happened 😉👍 You have been promoted to the top 3 😃😁
@joaocalatroia1735 Responding is the least we can do for someone who takes the time to watch our videos and make thoughtful comments. There are a lot of creators in our genre that unfortunately fabricate drama and resort to "overly creative" storytelling, and we certainly do not want to be thought of as one of those channels. So with that said, it's our pleasure to address any doubts you may have. Thanks again for supporting the channel! 🍻
Buon Dio che posto.....😮
It's amazing, and just a bit terrifying!
Wow, good move keeping left against cliff face, what a road, worth it, well done. If there was ever a reason to embrace sobriety knowing about 'Pachamama' practices would suffice 🙂NZ
Ha ha... yeah, no doubt. Realizing you might end up as part of the foundation after a hard night out is good reason to put down the hooch!! 😬
You guys are very brave.... love watching.
Thank you!
90 seconds in and I love you guys...Why do I instantly want to be there in my 4Runner? Can't wait.
Ha ha... thank you!! Hopefully, the Death Road reopens for four-wheeled traffic someday. A couple of the tour operators we spoke with in La Paz made it seem doubtful...
Hell yeah I've been waiting for this one! Let me grab the popcorn!
We hope it was worth the wait!! 🍿
Kumbh Mela Prayagraj 2025 is an another close contender festival with tens of millions converging to the banks of the Ganges.
Wow! Well, this is nowhere near tens of millions of people. Probably 1,000 tops if I had to guess...
@@TwoWheelsThreeSheets Bolivia's s hidden gem unlike the current Kumba which was back then too when I visited in 1989 as the rare foreign tourist.
I’m all for adventure, but I nearly had to put on a clean pair of pants after watching the Death Road section. I was expecting you to go hunt for a new clutch the moment you entered La Paz. Hope you can squeeze some more miles out of it. I recall you building/installing a new clutch several videos ago. How many km’s/miles did you get out of that one ? Ride safe.
Ha ha... didn't mean to make you soil your skivvies!! 😅 We're actually still running the same clutch plates. I picked up a spare kit just in case, but haven't had to install them yet... Go figure!
Killer video, as usual.
Thank you!!
I was in a Cementerio de Elefantes. I went there to buy chicha for our restaurant. Hardcore drinkers but nice people. They were drinking in silence. Bizarre place
It's amazing that so many people flat out refuse to believe they exist. We spoke to a man whose nephew disappeared in one a few years ago. Very sad...
😊😊😊
🍻
What a trip 🙈. Great footage, thanks for sharing 😊👍🙏
Thank you!! It's even better in person... 😉
We usually watch you two via YT on TV, however; we felt compelled to comment here of the La Paz section of the video. I have been in La Paz several times during my 8 years of journeys south of Mexico and found the "brebaje de brujas" section the most interesting since it tied together another episode. This whole presentation S3:E67 was excellent and hit my sweet spot of entertainment. I found you late in my YT experience and became captivated by you and everything you do. So here is to you and your channel and the experiences you will present to us. Cheers.
Wow!! Well, first off, thank you so much for your kind words and for supporting the channel! Secondly, I'm especially glad that, having been to La Paz yourself, you enjoyed and appreciated the episode. It can be daunting to explore subjects that some might consider controversial or disrespectful. Especially considering how much we love Bolivia! I'm glad you enjoyed the episode, and thank you again for supporting the channel!!
Good to see you had some clutch left. I sure thought it was a goner. The ride and stories around La Paz were absolutely amazing and intriguing. This was an experience I will not forget. Your videos are just so interesting, what great work.. Happy trails to you, God Speed.
Yup... I was just able to barely squeeze enough out of the clutch to get us home. And of course, letting the bike cool down a bit certainly didn't hurt!! Thank you for the kind words and for supporting the channel!! 💪
You nailed it. Great photography, narration/music , content and emotion. Ride hard, ride free
Thanks so much!! 🍻
I don't know which road is more deadly???!!!!😮
Ha ha.... it's a coin toss!! 😬
Just started watching now but already clicked the like button as i know it is going to be good!!! 👌
Ha ha... that's what we like to hear!! 😁
Massive tourist signs welcoming you to where you might soon die, awesome! Caught myself leaning left just watching that….Balls mate, well played!
Anything for a buck!!! Which is probably why the death road will never reopen to four-wheel traffic. There's not a whole lot of money to be made on independent overlanders. It's all mountain bike tours now... Thanks for joining us on the ride!
Bellissimi i vostri video , complimenti !!
Thank you!!! 🖤
Hi you two thanks again for a great video lovin it. Take care keep up the miles and safe travelling 😂😂❤
Thanks for coming along for the ride!! 💪
Another great video, my goodness don't know whether I'd rather be on the Death Road or in La Paz. Can't imagine drinking myself into a cornerstone...LOL!
Yeah... the live human sacrifice thing kind of caught me off guard. When researching the piece, I found a video online of a local tour guide who had just clawed his way out of the earth after being buried alive at one of the festivals... 😬
You guys are so cool about it all! I can't begin to imagine being the pillion on that road
Me neither!! I (Chad) don't like being a pillion at all. Had I been in Rose's boots, I would have walked!! 🤣
Great trip. I personally feel that plastic stickers plastered everywhere is just graffiti without the spray can and will be a liability for the sport in the future. Cheers,ed
Thank you! You know... I can't argue regarding the stickers. Obviously, there are a lot of businesses that not only allow but encourage you to place your stickers. But when it comes to road signs and the like, I tend to either place or sticker on the signpost or the back so as not to obscure the sign itself.
@@TwoWheelsThreeSheets not Karen, just a thought. I saw some National Forest signs plastered and thought "this ain't good, and calls attention." I sure hope the masses joining the hobby care as much as y'all do about 'cleaner than we came.' Kudos on the life's journey, it takes a couple of brass pairs if you get me. Cheers from Appalachia VA. back roads.
