Our hobbies other than bikes

Well I went down to the Mens Shed this morning and everyone that was there all asked when I was coming back so I decided to do 2 mornings a week Monday and Friday they are the 2 quietest days down there so that will be the days starting next Monday, I took some ply with me this morning that I wanted to cut on the bandsaw for a station platform, the bandsaw cuts better than my jigsaw with neater cuts.
Tomorrow I will move the Norton out, drain the sump and fuel tank, put some fresh fuel in and see how I go kicking it with the peg leg, with fresh fuel and the Joe Hunt it should fire up on first kick if I can kick it with the peg leg, fingers crossed.
We have a council kerbside clean up in 9 days time so good timing I be able to throw stuff out and put on the kerb to be collected, get rid of some junk I no longer need and make room for my good junk lol, so a busy weekend of cleaning up around the house and yard, I should throw out some of Debra's junk, she is such a hoarder but every time I do that she brings it back in.

A good start with the Mens Shed starting back on Monday, bloody public holiday on Monday lol, well was a busy day yesterday moved the dirt bike out of the way cleared the Norton it is now sitting beside the lift table and been clearing everything out from under the layout tables ready for the major wiring job, today have stuff to put out on the kerb for the kerbside clean up next weekend, only allowed to put a small trailer load out but put it out early and the scavengers come along collecting stuff which works out well as then can put more stuff out.
The hardest part moving my storage stuff under the benches I have to find another place to put it all, 10 boxed stored under the snooker table and just have my 3 camp fridges to move and find a space for them, but once I start the wiring it won't take me long to do, I have everything ready to go for the wiring.
The Norton I will do the oil and fuel drain sometime this weekend and try to give it a kick with some fresh fuel, see if I can do it with the peg leg, my Honda dirt bike has a ES so its good when I get a new battery for it, but think my dirt bike days are over, but then you never know, love playing in the dirt, never know till I give it a go.
Lucky I haven't got too much to dump on the kerb and I have this weekend and next weekend to get the rubbish on the kerb before they pick it all up, we get a free kerbside clean up twice a year, but I missed the last one, its 9am now so time to get started.

Was just having brekkie and a thought jumped in my head, with my peg leg and if I am able to fire it up with a kick, if my Norton decides to kick back, which it don't, but if it did, I won't get a sore leg from it, Titanium is my protector .
So many on this site always complain about kickbacks when kicking their Norton's, lose a right leg, problem solved.
