Fork seal

Enjoying a nice sunday ride with a friend 80 miles from the garage and the L/H fork seal gives out on me, hydraulic oil cover my leg from the knee down, all over the engine primary cover and even the saddle bag. original seals in forks, so reallly cant complain 16 years before having to replace... sure it would been nice if it would started weeping to let me know it was time to replace lol but lifes not aways easy.
