Needless to say you're risking your own personal safety and that of other road users. If you took your bike for a warrant right now it would fail.
It also sets off a chain of other events. Aside from the obvious loss of damping ( and therefore chassis control / stability ) oil is also in the shock as a lubricant. The bladder also expands to compensate for the continual loss of oil and have been known to burst in such scenarios.
