Having a old fart moment. Yes it was fork oil and not brake fluid. But it soaked up a spot on the front tire at least an inch wide that was just soft and spongee. not once but twice. I may of ran thousands of miles but I have had a front blow at 70mph and not entertaning that possibilty again if I can help it

Look at it this way. If that happens, you can turn around, call 911 and continue on continuing on.

Maybe I should wrap a tampon around the lower tube to soak up the excess. Then, if the skeeters are bad in ES, we can light it up and pretend it's a Tiki torch.

Flip here is a great idea. Buy the seals and bring them to ES with you that way you can change them while the rest of us sit on the deck chairs supping a cold one and cheer you on
