After spending a good time offroad, I noticed this leakage on my left fork. A film is always in my wallet for such episodes. All clean!
Eliye springs
From Lokichogio to Eliye and back to Lodwar
Not a journey for the faint hearted especially if you are not spending the night in Eliye. Tough as you start, it test your relationships with the bike but by time you are making a return you are 'sandproof'. Short cut' theory did not work for me, I prefered Kangetei route while making the return loop. Its much better.
This fork started leaking again. Looks like I will be calling in new seals
The heavier your rear end is the better and use momentum to your advantage

It was a direct flight from Lodwar to Nairobi
With one faulty plug (had only carried one from the last service for Emergency) I pushed on.We left Lodwar at 9am and first stop over for breakfast was at Kapenguria. There is a shortcut at Maili Saba albeit with a lot of bumps that goes all the way to Eldoret.
