Lost and Injured on Bolivia's Lagunas Route... (S3:E59)

[@sector299]

I agree with some earlier comments... that's a cliffhanger!!! Great job on narration, and capturing video along the way. What an incredible adventure!!

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Thank you for the kind words 🍻

[@MotoNewsBR]

You are amazing! I feel like I'm actually following you in each video. I'm also worried and I pray that they always stay well. God blesses!

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Thank you so much. We appreciate the kind words as well as the concern! 🖤

[@gungho6798]

Going to brake the rules here . Giving a shout out to Joffre de Sabatino and the Ft Lauderdale FedEx crew who assisted in tracking your bike down from Orlando to where you received the bike when the bike was missing. All avid bikers. Nothing like DHS competition tracking down one of DHS customers freight. Luckily , the next day you tracked your own bike down. Thanks guys - Mark

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Whoa... wait... WHAT? FedEx found our bike? How?? We need the story - this is the first we're hearing of this!!!

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Message us on Instagram, please!!

[@blueoceansailingexpedition4863]

As we are all bikers , I asked Fedex workers if they ever lost a bike and told them your story . Joffre de Sabatino from the Ft Lauderdale and his crew started tracking and found your bike via DHS contacts but you had already been notified if its whereabouts.

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

That's amazing! We may need their help again, since DHL is ghosting us on the damages...

[@mattgordon9179]

Great Narration. Could you be a bit slower with your camera pans, my grey matter finding hard to take it all in sometimes......cheers. Love your work :)

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

We'll do! Thanks for supporting the channel!!! 🍻

[@rick2wheels1214]

Another great real life adventure, love it .......and hope the pain has gone away.

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Thank you! We're all good 👍

[@lessmore444]

Wicked episode guys! The mummies, the music, the hardcore route finding into darkness & pain. Proper misadventure!

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Thank you!! Misadventure is our specialty!! 😁

[@JamesChasingSunrises]

Just found your channel! I can't even put into words all the things that make what you to do and how you do it so awesome. Excuse me while I go back to the beginning and binge watch all of your videos!

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Wow!! Thanks so much, we appreciate the kind words. And please accept our apologies in advance for Season #1.. . 😅

[@danielliebenberg7739]

I did the same thing when I found their channel. Warning: Two things will happen. 1) You’ll be hooked on each episode. 2) Sooner or later, you’ll start acquiring ADV gear and visiting motorcycle dealerships. 😂

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

@danielliebenberg7739 ha ha... well, just be sure to let the dealerships know that we sent you! We might get a free motorcycle out of this one day yet!! 😅

[@robertmauter6493]

Damn son, well, I know you’re in Panama now, so evidently you’re OK both of you, can’t wait to see what’s next after that video hopefully, you guys will be on the road here before long we will anxiously be awaiting, in the meantime, hang in there, Rob, US

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Thank you Rob! Yeah... spoiler alert: we survived! 😁 Luckily, we finally got our parts here in Panama City and should be back on the road first thing Tuesday morning! 🍻

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

😅 Bwaa! Well, in that case, send money to Panama in name of the "Stranded Gringos Fund'... 😁

[@edwinciclebike]

bienvenidos a Bolivia Chad , felicitarlos por sus videos ,excelentes ,visiten el arbol de piedra /Disierto de Siloli ,luego lago Copacabana ,si vienen por la paz ,saludos mis amigos ah puede visitar YUNGAS/COROICO/CAMINO DE LA MUERTE espectacular citio

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Thank you so much. We really enjoy our time in Bolivia. And yes, we definitely checked some of those boxes while we were there!! 🇧🇴

[@ride-fly-dive]

That terrain looked as the perfect trap especially in the dark. Hopefully, you are both ok

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Unfortunately, we didn't get footage of the gnarlyest bits. But after the crash, I was in survival mode, and didn't bother to document our struggle...

[@spencer2458]

Having travelled those roads I can only sympathize - they are hellish in places. Hope you are both safe & recovering

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Thank you! 🍻

[@tigercoward]

Your movie making is brilliant! There is so much to love about this video. Btw. The fire at the beginning looks like a Hollywood movie fire. All flames and no smoke. Do you have a special effects technician traveling with you ? I once read a novel about a post apocalyptic world where only the story tellers and dogs remained. In the beginning of this video, I kind of felt that you were living that story. Lol. I have been anticipating this episode since hearing about it on Adventure Rider Radio. What a cliff hanger. Even though I know what the outcome is, I can't wait for your next episode. Thanks again for another great video. Tiger Ps, Rose, thanks for using the word "perfunctory"!

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Thank you Dave! We always appreciate the kind words and your support! Unfortunately, no special effects technician or fancy editing... we don't have that kind of budget! Just a lot of persistence and the occasional dumb luck! 😁 Post-apocalyptic is EXACTLY how we described the entire Uyuni region. It's a wild, wild place... 😳

[@RonKoppelmann]

Yikes and two weeks since the last vid?! Hope you both are ok…

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

We're good! Thanks for the concern... the update is live now!

[@thelordbart]

Hope you guys are ok. Broke my fibula riding deep sand 2 weeks ago; so I understand it to some degree.

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

OUCH! Sorry to hear that... hope you're back on the bike soon! 💪

[@thelordbart]

Thanks! Back at you two! @@TwoWheelsThreeSheets

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

@thelordbart 🍻

[@JeremyKroeker]

Wow. Great video! You sure did this area justice! We merely passed through (the Salar was full of water), and we were (easily) talked out of riding the Lagunas route because of all that loose sand.

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

The sand around Laguna Colorada was NOT fun....No roads, just mile after mile of thick, deep sand. Unfortunately, you'll just have to take our word for it. We traversed most of it at night after the crash, and I was in no mood to try and document it!! 😅

[@SaltySunriseSailing]

Haha! Those old stickers are going strong. Great video! 🤙

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Ha ha!! Thanks guys!! 🍻

[@-W8WHAT]

That accident is so scary, if only from the isolation aspect. Even in NZ i had to ride on the back of another bike with shoulder busted/rib's smashed & slightly punctured lung...10kms to the waiting helicopter, due to no cellphone service in gorge! (even the slightest bump nearly made me pass out) So glad to hear your injuries are not as bad....rest up and recover, 🧡 i will be waiting for journey to continue 😎✌👌

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Thank you so much. Yeah, remote locations can definitely turn a minor incident into a major issue. Chad was a bit busted up, but luckily, we didn't have to push that "SOS" button...

[@stevekeddington4382]

Great episode guys

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Thank you, brother! How do you think the Slim-S would do in the sand? 😬

[@daletalaplaya5086]

I listened to your Jim Martin, Adventure Rider Radio podcast so I know what happens but I still felt like I had crashed with you, another great video.

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Thank you! You know what's funny, we never watched the footage after the crash. On the podcast, we simply retold the story as we recalled it. After reviewing the footage, I was scratching my head a bit... not everything played out exactly as I recalled. Maybe I hit my head, too!! 😅

[@scoopyrondavlog2524]

Ride safe always maam and sir..from philippines god bless

Thank you! God bless you too, from Costa Rica. : )

[@bullaschonken521]

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Thank you!! 🍻

[@italogiardina8183]

The end incident brought back a memory when I hit a Kangaroo on a dirt road outback and when stood up notice my wrist dangling around, and being solo had to ride 100km to base camp, the painful bit was depressing the clutch, though it was worth the risk cause I tell the traveller tale.

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Damn!!! How did the Roo fare?? 🦘

[@italogiardina8183]

@@TwoWheelsThreeSheets I was travelling slow at 20km around dusk looking to camp and it was big Roo who jumped out of the bush (If in OZ know Roo's, (or zombie Roo) panic and have blind sight at head lights entailing a direct hit) and then bounced off into the night so I did not get a chance to find out, but I got steel rod treatment so all things considered, fine. Although the semi trailers trucks tend not to be so kind.

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

@italogiardina8183 damn... I'm glad it bounded off and didn't square up with you. That would have been a tough fight with a busted arm!! 😬

[@andrewthacker114]

Great clip, thanks for the adventure.

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Thanks for coming along!

[@SL3315]

The non existent roads on the non existent little blue ball got the better of Chad.. you guys are tough as nails and I hope you could continue the ride .. mala hierba nunca muere 🌟

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

The little blue ball gets us every time!! 😅 Thank you, sir! We live to ride another day!

[@FromUSAtoFJB]

Hope you are both okay, and the bike is still rideable!

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

A bit worse for ware all around... but nothing we or the Africa Twin couldn't survive! 💪

[@samuroadventure1227]

Hope you are ok after the crash!

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Thank you! A bit busted up, but we survived!

[@antepavlovic600]

I hope it's not a serious injury, I'm looking forward to the next video

[@robertshelton3963]

Wow I hope those bumps and bruises were very temporary.

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Some more temporary than others... 😬

[@Clewis333]

Purty wild...

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Twas indeed!

[@andrewewan624]

Hoping you are not seriously injured? ....get well soon That was a real mixture of a video ... We have moved on from graveyard to mummies .... then encountered a local searching on your phone for porn...to maps out of date ... Some of the landscape is right out of the 1960s spaghetti western movies.......was expecting Clint Eastwood and his pals to come around a corner on a horse !! Super video ..thank you for sharing and HOPING YOU ARE BOTH in good health/condition Stay safe !!

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Thank you, sir!! Yeah, that video more or less sums up our entire month in Bolivia. You never know what to expect! The guy looking for porno on the phone was hilarious! 😅 And yes.... a couple of minor fractures aside, we survived the ordeal! Thanks for watching!!

[@andreloshon3344]

i hope u guys r alright.......let us know.

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

We survived. A bit banged up, but nothing major! 🍻

[@DSRDaveW]

Bummer to see the crash! I know that deep sand riding with panniers is a challenge in it self, I hate it.. Hope everyone will be ok?

[@-W8WHAT]

So true - it is only through skill, that Chad managed to get so far.... before the Ooopsie moment!! 🤕 (It does help to have, another good rider, Rose...... as pillion though)

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Yeah, deep sand is definitely more of a challenge two up and overloaded than it is on a 250 with proper tires!! 😬

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Thank you! Although I'm not sure Rose would agree with your assessment of her riding skills! 😁

[@stevekeddington4382]

Holy shit! Talk about a cliffhanger!!!!

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Send help! We're still stuck in the sand!! 😁

You should have come and spoken with me in Uyuni I would have saved you so much hassle.. Information is everything, especially here.

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Had only we known!! So, a couple of questions for you: Are all the maps of the area just outdated? Were we NOT on the correct road entering the park??

[@andeanrider6355]

@@TwoWheelsThreeSheets yes maps are not good . Gps or Google maps also rubbish. Had many riders go the wrong way and have problems. But if I can explain a few things to riders it a big help. Basically head south Keep the mountains on your right all the routses head to chile and connect with each other, just about. Took me 3 years as a giude to learn this area. The sand two up and fully loaded on a big not recommended. Wish you luck and love the videos. Makes me want to go and explore north Argentina.

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

@andeanrider6355 ahh... awesome! Thank you for the feedback. Now I don't feel like a complete goon! 😅 I was really starting to second-guess myself for a minute!!
