It's fine as a get you home/temporary solution.
That's how we got "Oscar" home the other day. I did wedge part of a broken ABS car mirror casing found in the verge, in the gap between footpeg and the frame to get the angle just right....
That was just an added touch so it felt right for Jane and she'd have one less thing to have to worry about. A tie-wrap kept the piece of plastic in place.
