Join me on my solo motorcycle ride to Cape Maclear on a Motorcycle & learn how life goes on at the Lake Malawi surrounded by forest mountains & beaches. I arrived to Malawi just after New Year and found the place so peaceful and free of tourists. I enjoyed these bliss days at the Lake Malawi so much and in between these relaxing moments, I had to do some practical tasks like fixing leaking forks on my motorcycle and getting preventive treatment for Bilharzia.

So I moved from Monkey Bay today I've got to the other side sort of of the cape I'm at Cape
McClare and I'm actually spoiling myself I found this beautiful lodge it's called
Warm Hearts Adventure Lodge and look my cottage this is like the view

Hi
Just had a new dress done at Billy's tailoring shop this is Billy thank you so much
Thank you so much I really love my dress so let me present you my dress now hold on
All right it's time to go to the doctor again so this is the same village
As last time where I went to the doctor to get these tablets for balhessia
So this way hopefully I won't get lost roughly know where I'm going
I had a lot of rain here so right here I think yeah that looks more like a proper road
Where'd the road go? No somewhere here I think I think I'm lost again okay I think we
Really close and clinic is no hold on where is it? Open daily
Back to the same cleaning as last year so came here to get my tablets for balhessia and
yeah for the worms yeah so I can do all the treatments later on when I leave with Malawi
So let's see if that
Hi
Hello
How are you guys?
How are you?
Hello Dr. Moses you're still here it's like you never left
Right?
Have you been good?
Yes I've been good
How was corona ages here?
It affected this little community?
Not this community but this other area
They had some infections?
Did people die?
No
Just infections?
Okay cool nice to see you again so you know what I came here for right?
Yes
Same tablets please
Got it
How are you?
That's good
How was school?
My god I'm so red from sitting on the beach for so long
Unfortunately I've got a tiny problem with chili her front foot started to leak
It was sweating before but now it's actually leaking leaking so you can see
There is a scratch
Behind there which causes all the leak and it goes on the brakes and on the rim and it's
It's quite heavy now so guess what happened I finally for the very first time uh-huh
I'm gonna use seal mate I bought it in Australia like four years ago and never never ever used so
I'm gonna clean the sea the you know the sealant here and see if there's any rock or anything like
that okay let's see what's that full instruction and all seal mate a simple and easy to use tool
You seal your leaking forks yeah that's me
Jesus I was so brilliant I was so brilliant on my side to buy this finally I can use it
It's clean first but I'm gonna remove the dust seal
Okay yeah we got some oil coming out out
All right so from what I understood is the seal mate is your mate
And I think under the angle oh okay a little bit of oil coming out but that's
What it's supposed to do and then you spin it
That's not a good sound
That's a lot of oil
That is for the seal to reseal again so I'm not sure if I should do it again I'll try again
There's a lot of oil coming out but that's okay
And I just want to make sure there's no rocks or anything like this does
I'm gonna wipe it okay pump it again and doesn't look like anything is leaking now
Maybe it's fixed bloody hell maybe hopefully
All right I'm testing Chillie now see there's a few potholes so
It's definitely a good road to test your forks
Was tiny bit of oil coming out after the ride but I think it was maybe stuck in this you know
Sealant here but now Chillie's standing I wiped it Chillie's standing nothing is dripping
So this is a massive progress of course I'm gonna have to replace this later on I just really need
To really organize the oil above all so yeah that's a project for another day for now I think
I'm quite happy with just this emergency fix so yeah well done Chillie
Wow you're good
It's very high can I try?
That's so high unreal
Wow you guys are awesome beautiful
