Enjoying a nice ride today, went to stop at a an intersection and no rear brakes, kinda interesting for a second. Somewhere in the 2 miles before the intersection the 8mm bolt that holds the rear master cylinder in place decided it wanted to fly off. Anyone else have any problems with bolts backing out. Its an '06, just turned 2000 miles, I have never removed that particular bolt (one of the few i have not messed with).

That's a new one on me. I can imagine it was a bit of a surprise. Glad you're okay.
