ah ha, so it was a blocked rubber passage plug in the master cylinder, don't let your brake fluid get to dirty in there next time, change fluid every 3 years or 2, the book recommends 2

Well I'm not gonna have to worry about maintenance on it anymore.
Laid it over and it slid off into a ditch Wednesday evening. More than likely totaled it.

OMG! Talk about luck. All bad, of course. Sorry to see/hear this news :(
Who decided to drag it up and haul it away on its side?

I told the tow truck driver to get it out however he pleased. I've had issues with the things since I bought it and that was my 2nd accident of the day after I got backed into in a parking lot and got thrown off it so I'm convinced it's cursed and can burn in motorcycle hell. Lol. I'll buy another one down the road, not scared of them but will never ride that one again.

Thanks. Sucks that I just got it running right and for that to happen but I think it's better for my health that I don't ride that cursed thing lol.

oh wow, a cursed bike, you must have been pleased to tell the tow truck guy to get it out anyway he pleases if you believed the bike is cursed. You will have fun finding another one, the best part I find is when getting another bike to mod it the way you like. It's only money so get more of it printed. lol

Glad you survived the accident and are able to laugh about it now
I went from an '05 Nomad to a '15 Voyager and liked the upgrade very much for me and my wife.
