Today I continued to move things out(beds, pianola, clothes and so on) and into our newly renovated house, because we were going to be living the shed, we had it insulated, so with a recent heat wave(29c ) it was a cool 20c inside, I'm gunna love this shed

Welcome back, just returned myself, looks like you're not far from aussie70 who's just returned also, he's just up the road in Gayndah.

Sit on the bike backwards

  I was using the other leg, the problem trying to balance on the buggered ankle as I couldn't use it to kick start it.

I even tried to give it the daughter, but didn't want it

Use the other leg. That's what I had to do with a stuffed R knee
Electric start I could add more but I'll hold back

Yeah, I can see your exitement, coming up to 5yrs in Tassie and loving it, house reno is almost done, which is a releaf, just a bit of cleaning up and small jobs to do, but all in all not bad, the best part was moving out of the shed and into the house.
I had to sell my H2 Kawasaki, that was painful, a bloody sad day, I loved that bike, but after breaking my ankle in 2 places over 5 years ago, I was struggling to start the bike, I'm now 70 and my ankle is giving me more grief, still riding though, gotta love electric start .

Anyway hello again
