Non ABS brake failure

I was headed down mountain in heavy traffic close to Asheville,NC.
My front brake started to pull. I thought I had a flat tire. When I went to emergency lane I discovered that I had no front brake lever resistance. The front brake had completely failed. I drove in emergency lane for a couple of miles until motorcycle felt like it would make highway speed. Then turned toward Asheville for repair shop using rear brakes only and emergency flashers. When I got to Asheville I had full lever resistance and my front brake was working 100 percent. No problem for last 600 miles.
??? Did I get fluid to hot? When it cools it starts to work.
