Brad,
Glad you lucked out. That sure could have turned out a whole lot worse! That happened to me this spring on my old Harley. Went through a stop sign and ended up stopped in the middle of the road using foot brakes. Thank God for Guarden Angels. If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

I broke something! I was driving to work and hit the brakes for a stop sign. Whoop! Pedal to the floor! Pump, pump, pump! Too late, I'm through the intersection already. Time to see if the emergency brake can do a thing... Whoa, barely stopped before a big down hill into a very busy street. Got it towed home and there was no leaking fluid so I'm sure it's the master. No time for mail order since I need to drive the car tomorrow, so I head down to Kragen. They have a lifetime warrantee no name master for $39! It took about an hour to bench bleed and ten minutes to swap the masters. The brakes were spongy, but they worked. Monday I bled and flushed the lines with a quart of new fluid and they are almost done. I'm hoping one more bleeding session and they will be back to great.
