Default dumb question

HAving been travelling for some time, my bike's been sat in
the garage for about 9 months unused. What would need to be
done to it in order to get it shipshape again?

Obviously, clean& lube the chain, grease bearings (I guess),
pump up tyres, check out wheels. Do you reckon the fork
would need a complete service? It's a bomber, if that makes
any difference.

Cheers Nick

Nick, Clean and lube chain, check tyre pressure, and go
riding. That will tell you if anything else needs work ;-)

Try riding it. If it is broke, go buy a new one.
