mike wilson Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Yes. I think for sheer ingenuity in the face of adversity I have to award the Golden Bodge Point. 91478[/snapback] It's your call but I thought the definition of bodge was something like "a repair done in the field that causes more damage, needing to be repaired in its own right at a later date". Although the (whateveritis) *might* have caused further problems, it actually didn't. I don't consider it a bodge - I'm very impressed. Unless the "Golden Bodge Point" means something else..... m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With brown bears on one side and hostile savages on the other, there's not much time for debating subtle points best left to Webster's dictionary. As for myself, I'm viciously envious of all you guys who can access the Duffy Lake area on a regular basis. I've never been on a motorbike, but have enjoyed the hills and once drove into a ditch in a blinding snowstorm - requiring rescue by snowplow after they closed the road.

Guest Nogbad Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Unless the "Golden Bodge Point" means something else..... m 91796[/snapback] It does. The Golden Bodge isn't as strictly applied. You are of course right, and I wouldn't award the Red Bodge for this. The Golden points are intended to be awarded more widely and to cover this sort of ingenious but precarious idea. But no-one is ever compelled to accept either award! (unless Jaap compels them of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
friskycutter Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Recieved good news today, talked to the rep from the construction company where I had my "incident", where the rock rolled out in front of me from a grader. They've been quite good about it and are sending $580 to Valley MotoGuzzi in Chilliwack to do the repair, including labour even. Sometimes good things happen to bad people I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belfastguzzi Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Yes. I think for sheer ingenuity in the face of adversity I have to award the Golden Bodge Point. 91478[/snapback] I used the bike seat as a side stand so that I could work at the transmission cover side.

Golden-Pine-woodstain Bodge Point? 91914[/snapback] BFG, You don't want any bodge points though. The ones you had before still stand if you want to display them, and I guess you can have another Golden one for the use of the seat as a side stand. On the other hand, you don't have to go along with the whole bodge point thing if you don't want to. It was just a bit of fun. The Golden one was introduced because so little REAL bodging happens I needed a more widely available award. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, that's two red and one gold you can show.

Sometimes good things happen to bad people I guess Hi guys,Glad to hear you had the repair covered (this is Bill the other Duc rider on the Duffy Lake run ). I just returned from retreiving my 03' EV California from Rigaud Quebec after a clutch failure on the return leg of my 24,000k ride from the Pacific to the Atlantic. Took a bit longer than expected but all in all was a great ride. I celebrated by 55th and 40 years of safe riding where I should be, on the road! Look forward to another run with you guys, still waitin for the photos from the last one though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
