Change over the chain and sprockets. I now have all the kit I need to complete the task, just can't be arsed to do it.

Up until yesterday, fix the stuck choke plungers. It's been like it for about 6 months. Only because I took the carbs off to swap out the wiring loom did I bother to do it.

Fix the right hand side loose switch gear. The lug is snapped off. (actually, I just did fix it, it only took 18 months to get round to it and it took all of 20 minutes. I'm shamed.)

Fix the too fast blinking indicators.

Respray the whole bike, it really does look quite upsetting now.

As for the Dullsville. Jeez, I ain't even going to start on that one.

Chain & sprocket kit. I have a tight spot & the chain really does need chucking away, but I like to get my moneys worth. Just hope the bugger doesn't snap

Redo brakes (I have no idea what the hell I am doing, they need bleeding f + r, disc change, fluid change, probably pads too)
Clean bike
Discover where all the electrics go
Change rear tyre
New chain and sprockets (probably, sprockets are a bit rusty, might just polish them as I am cheap (and tight))
Shoot self
