Riding the Remote Ruta-40 Norte (S3:E53)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 фев 2025
- Departing the Andes (for now), Chad and Rose ride north to the remote Argentine badlands, on the famous Ruta-40. Stopping to explore the adobe ruins of yesteryear, they reach the "Ruta del Vino" (the Wine Route) between Cafayate & Salta.
From there, they ride north to explore Shell's Ravine, and the seldom-visited reaches of "South America's Route 66".

What a ride. I am loving this footage.
Thank you!! 🍻
Always amazing. Thanks Rose and Chad
Thank you! 🍻
Hi from the UK thanks for another great film we could all learn alot from your attitude towards adventure long may you both continue ride safe stay free
Thanks so much! I'm not sure if anyone should take notes from us, but I appreciate the sentiment! 😁
Cheers from Guyana 🇬🇾 🍻
Enjoyable videos. Have never understood the 'stickers on signs' things though....covering info that will be useful to other travellers
Thank you!! Yeah, the sticker thing can get out of hand sometimes. We often apply ours to the back of the sign or the post itself, to avoid actually covering the words on the sign.
I'm not a huge fan of rolling up on a sign that is illegible, either. 😒
Enjoy love all the little detours be safe 👍
Thank you - we do our best! 🍻
Great vid, lots of inspiration. Thanks for putting in all the effort.
Thanks for taking the journey with us!! 🍻
Some of the best moto content ever. I love your personalities and spirit for exploration.
Ha! Thank you. I have a personality for RUclips and a face for radio... 😁
Very entertaining episode perfectly complimented by the music choices.
Thank you sir. That means a lot coming from a bonafide musician!! 👍🍻💪
@@TwoWheelsThreeSheets Your production and editing are brilliant.
@hachewie thank you!! 🖤
Beautiful video and sightseeing, thank you Rose for the clear and easy to follow explanation of everything that we are seeing in the video's. :)
Wow! Thank you for that. It helps to get that encouragement. Thank you for watching!! 👍 💯💯
Buenas imágenes 🏞️📸 y buen contenido !
THANK YOU!! 🍻
Again the Argentinian wild west remind me of the American southwest and the Mexican northwest 100 years ago.
Another ***** video
And spaghetti 🍝 western in motorcycle 🏍 I can't wait for Torres del Paine 👍
Thanks so much!! Yes, very reminiscent indeed...
We visited Torres del Paine in Season 1, as well as Episodes 2 & 3 of Season 3. 👍
@@TwoWheelsThreeSheets thnx
Just love the quiet roads and the landscape and the easy way you are travelling, not to a schedule, and allowing your sense of adventure to be free. Great filming and narration - thank you so much.❤
Thank you as always for the kind words and supporting the channel! Traveling by the seat of our pants definitely has drawbacks, but the freedom it affords us is priceless!! 🍻
Living your dreams is the best way to live, wherever that takes you...its called passion and that is what you both have.... in abundance.@@TwoWheelsThreeSheets
Linda ruta! Éxitos 🌟
Thank you!! Cheers... 🍻
Well you were right!. Kept it upright on the grapa. Trailer ahoy!!.
Fanks for the look around.
Happy travels you two 😎
Ha ha... I guess I was late to the grappa party! Better late than never though... 😁
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩You look like astronauts - and you wear helmets and suits... Greetings to you from Jordan...
You look like astronauts - and you wear helmets and suits... Greetings to you from Jordan...
They often call Adventure Riders "Power Rangers"... But with some of the lunar Landscapes we have been exploring, I think astronauts is more fitting! 👍
@@TwoWheelsThreeSheets Greetings to you, yes it is true.. Today’s blog is like discovering Mars... Happy journey to you both..
Wicked landscapes.
It is Wierd that you were escorted out of that area of the moon. Lol.
BTW, I love your retirement home!
Thanks for another terrific video!
Ps. Good luck in your knife fight with the Kool-Aid man!
Ha ha - I ain't messing with the Kool-Aid man after what he used to do all those brick walls!!
We're still taking quotes from qualified contractors to remodel the villa. We'll let you know how it turns out! 😁
Ride safe always maam and sir god bless
Thank you!! 🖤
@@TwoWheelsThreeSheets your welcome
Wow, I've particularly enjoyed these last 2 episodes Brought back some great memories. I spent 10 days hiking up around Paso San Francisco & an observatory on Incahausi. And grappa? Jesus on a pogo stick, firewater doesn't even begin to describe. I understand you're in Guyana right now. Stay safe, eh? Several security threats recently in that part of the continent.
Grappa!!! 😅 Luckily I only bought the small bottle... Very cool - nothing like a stroll down memory lane! 🖤
Yup, in Georgetown trying to figure out how to get the Moto back to Central America. Everything seems pretty chill for the most part, except for the fact that the American Embassy wouldn't let me in the front door!! 😅😒
If you run out of gas, use the grappa. Just kidding.
Probably would have done a hell of a job cleaning the fuel injectors!!!
As always, a terrific episode. The landscape reminds me of where I grew up in the Little Karoo in South Africa. Say, do you still have the CB 500X stateside ?
Thank you!! Yes sir, the CB is patiently awaiting our return!!
Hi Guys, love the videos keep em coming please! Btw did you manage to fix the wobbly front disc on the AT?? Good luck and take care👍
Thank you!! The break discs have been zip-tied into submission for the time being. They still rattle around a bit, but they're not nearly as bad as they were...
What a delightful trip on the back roads of Ruta 40. Happy trails to you, as old Roy Rogers use to say. Nice music made the trip even more enjoyable. Godspeed.
Thanks for coming along for the ride! Not everyone appreciates the music, but I think it compliments the scenery nicely.
The scenery was very reminiscent of the southwest in the states and the north central partion of Spain.
The drone work on this one was really good as well.
Good shout to get Chad out of the populos before he tucked into the firewater
Another great episode.
Firewater wasn't that bad. He only chased the cows around for about 20 minutes...
Thanks for sharing, nice clip
Thanks for watching! 🍻
Love your rides ❤ love from India 🇮🇳 Peace be upon you ❤
We appreciate it. Thank you! And peace be with you as well.
@@TwoWheelsThreeSheets Thank you 💖 I was watching your video while you replied. Thanks man 👍 have a great journey
Caught up with previous episodes while you both take a short break!! Always a gem thrown in with every episode....
'Chad nearly got in a knife fight with the Coolaide guy' 😂🤣😂 what a couple!!! 😄🤘
Oh man... now I've got to go back and watch the episode. I love me a good knife fight!! 😂
Unbelievable where a motorcycle can take you
No doubt! Life on 2-wheels is the IMAX experience! 🍻
Africa Twin 💪🏼 Honda should sponsor these guys.
Thanks for sharing 😊👍🙏
Thanks for watching!
Just wanted to thank yall for the great entertainment you've given me. I have been biten by the motorcycle bug and truly love the adv. style you guys do. Just purchased an African Twin with the hope of doing some adv touring myself. I looked to see if you guys had a pay pal account but wasn't able to find any. If you guys do accept donations would love to send yall a little something for the best entertainment I've come across on Y/T. Happy trails you two.
Congrats on the new AT!! 👏 Where are you based?
Thanks for the kind words! Glad that we could serve as a bit of inspiration to get out there and hit the road. No, we don't do the patron or gofundme thing, But maybe if we cross pass on the road somewhere, you can buy us a beer! 😉🍻
@TwoWheelsThreeSheets I live in Beaufort N.C. a little town on the coast. Halfway point between NY and Fla. There are beautiful uninhabited beaches here, some with wild ponies left over from the shipwrecks off our coast back in Blackbeard's day, known as the graveyard of the Atlantic. Great place to sail. If you ever find yourselves here, yall have a place stay.
O
@justyouraveragejoe7359 awesome, looking forward to it!! 💪🍻
Another great video thanks for sharing, that place you went to where they wanted to make sure you were going back to where you came from, was that a gold mine or what, just curious, this place your currently traveling through is a place to my liking, no people which is what I like, the more remote the better I like it, well take care you two and hang in there. Rob stateside
Thank you sir!! It was a lithium mine... which was quite unexpected!! 😳
It's awesome ser through your videos, Places I've travelled last year!
Glad you were able to take a ride with us down memory lane!! 💪
Wow, you 2 are really out there! What an adventure, and great job filming and telling the story!
Thank you so much! 🍻
Rose, dont play in the wasps nest!!!!!
That's what I said!!!
Awesome content! Are you going down to the sud? I can share with you some great roads.
We've already explored about as far as we can down south. Heading North now through the 3Gs, back to Central America and roads North!
But thank you for the offer! 💪🍻
@@TwoWheelsThreeSheetssorry to hear that. Let me know when you come back! And continue with this great content!
Hahaha I love this one. "Between 50¢ and a dollar"
Also, you guys make an incredible team. I've got nowhere near as much luggage on the bike and I can still see how well you both move so well off-road on that bike. 👊🤟
I'd buy that for a dollar!! 😅 Thanks so much, we appreciate the kind words!! 🍻
I rode my motorcycle to work today, 10 miles of slab & traffic. It was awesome. Just kidding, your videos are awesome! And great humor. You two are rocking it. I had grappa in Italy, tasted like rocket fuel left over from WW II, but had to have another. Keep up the adventure & videos! 👍🏻
Hey, it could have been worse - you could have been stuck in your car for 20 minutes in traffic!! 😉
Yeah, I'm really more of a Scotch guy myself... 🥃
Thank you, as always, for the kind words and for supporting the channel!! 💪
Finally got all caught up with the videos. Great stuff guys! Taking people to a part of the world many will not get to see. I'm really enjoying the journey. Heading down to Chile and Patagonia this week so I'm looking forward to seeing some of these beautiful sights in person. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the kind words! Are you going to be exploring Patagonia on two wheels? What's the plan? Do tell!
Unfortunately not. That would be awesome though. We'll have 4 wheels and 2 feet. We'll have a couple days in Santiago, exploring the city and then flying down to Balmeceda and tackling the Carretera Austral. Pretty much everything from Tortel to Chaiten is on the agenda. A lot of hiking mainly, in the national parks, and whitewater rafting on the Futaleufu and kayaking the marble caves. Other than that just going to take our time and explore and see as much as we can in 2 weeks. We are taking a wine tour in Santiago too. It'll be nice to get away from the rat race for a little bit.
@travelingRonman very cool. Ruta!7 is absolutely amazing! If the water levels are right, be sure to raft the Terminator on the Futa. It is the biggest whitewater commercial rafted in the world!!
Also, out of Rio Tranquilo, be sure to drive the road up towards Glacier Explodadores. It is one of the best side roads on all of the Carratera Austral!!!!
Great content!!
Thank you! 🍻
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid were in Patagonia. Some says one of them dies in Bolivia.
Indeed they were. We visited some of their old haunts in Bolivia, Argentina and Chile!!
Nowhere to be, no schedule to keep #LifeGoals PS am I the only one wondering what happened to the brake rotor?
Break rotors were successfully zip-tied into submission!! Still a bit noisy, but not nearly as bad as they were...
Cool stuff. RUclips is getting flooded by adventure motorcycle riders now. Mostly copycats. I just caught on to you; you guys are the real deal. Rose, superb job narrating.
Wow!! Thank you for that!! We appreciate the encouragement, and welcome you to the channel. : )
Sorry, how much did you say it was to stay at the municipal campground?
Well, it really comes down to the exchange rate... 😁
I’m sorry I missed it…what was the cost of that campground again lol?…..great video. Did you check out Utopia Camp in Salta?
Well, it depends upon the exchange rate... 😁 No Utopia Camp, we actually splurged and got a place with a bed!
@@TwoWheelsThreeSheets owner of Utopia, Johan, makes the best pizza in S America
😂😂😂😂wow that's awesome...discover Argentina Western site...front Buenos Aires...enjoy a lot always your professional videos and music.
We've ridden all over Argentina - it's one of our favorite countries!! Thanks for the kind words!! 🖤🍻
Light and airy as they say😅
Keeping it breezy!! 😁
How much was it again? Anyway, as an Italian citizen, love me some grappa. Oh, and just before you mentioned it resembled the American southwest, I was just thinking Rose was at home there, because it all looked so much like the geography and pueblos around Albuquerque. I'll be there in two weeks, BTW, will be looking for the La Cumbre brewery, there are two of them according to google.
Well, it depends on whether or not you're using the white rate or the blue rate... 😅
Ha ha, very cool!! I didn't realize they had two locations. Perhaps they opened a new Tap Room somewhere. Either way, you're in for some great IPA!! 🍻
Welcome to the land of Entrapment!! 😳
Any particular reason you didn't continue on Ruta 40 to Cachi, Abra del Acay, San Antonio de los Cobres, Susques and further north to the end of Ruta 40?
We do... all the way to the top!
Stay tuned!! 🍻
Hello! Great adventure! I’m sure somewhere you’ve answered these questions, but year is your Africa Twin? How many miles on it? And most of all, what tires are you running? I have a 2016 DCT and love it.
Thank you!! It's a 2017 manual transmission with approximately 88,000 km on the clock.
Most of our time in South America, we've been running Michelin Anarchy adventures. Not because we want to, but it's the only tires we can reliably find in 90/90-21 & 150/70-18...
Try some ice cold torrontes when in Cafayate.
What, totally missed those!! 😶
@@TwoWheelsThreeSheets love you trip. Best pinball planners on the web.
@azv503 ha ha - pinball planners! I like that!
Abra del Acay coming up me thinks....
You are correct!! 😉
If you continue with such a high speed you'll end up in Venezuela faster than you can imagine 😉
Wouldn't that be nice. It sure would make this whole shipping thing a lot easier... So far, about 8 different agents and companies in 2 countries, and nada... 😒
،🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦❤❤❤
🍻
Are you guys drunk while riding? 😂 Just kidding. Is this the same “three sheets” meaning?
Ha ha! Well, three sheets is a bit of a double entender, but if you notice, our logo is a must with three sheets over an Africa Twin...
The eventual plan is to transition to living on a sailboat, and sailing our 2 wheels (possibly 4) around the world.
@@TwoWheelsThreeSheets nice! Living the life!
@jakenieten trying!!
