There was a lot of air in the lines when I bled them.  Although I have to
admit that Jim was probably right yesterday - they are squishy again today.
So apparently, during the seven months, something "gave" because when I
parked the car several months ago, the brakes were fine.   I think I noticed
a small puddle of fluid under the MC last night (although I had my Volvo
there the day before, so I'm not certain if it was from the Volvo or the
VW - will inspect tonight).
