Re: What bodged repairs have you done?
My SV is currently running with a nicely bodged on gear leaver from my CBR400.
Oh and go faster stripes on the seat (gaffer tape), soon to be sorted... Its also ran with a bridged clutch switch for over a year. Also a shortened fuel hose when the other split (now corrected). And how can I forget the zip ties holding my undertray on... |

Just stuck an egg in the radiator of the car. I'll let you know if the buyer brings it back for overheating tomorrow night

Re: What bodged repairs have you done?
I once 'fixed' a missing link plate on a chain on a Bantam with a paperclip, only because the boy riding it didn't even realise it was missing, and I was a boy myself. No idea if he got home, but he was alive and well a few weeks later......

Re: What bodged repairs have you done?
Exhaust fell off at the cylinder of my ancient AR125 - found a tea spoon amongst the debris at the side of the road, bent it into a hook to tie the pipework back onto the cylinder
 It was a tad noisy

Re: What bodged repairs have you done?
Don't bodge bikes. I value my life.
Cars. I had a Marina where the rear leaf spring collapsed and used a pair of mole grips to hold it together for the 14 miles home avoiding every pot hole. I had a capri where the accelerator cable snapped so used the choke cable to get home.
