Tighten visible nuts and bolts, lube up your cables, put fresh gas in the tank with a 1/4 can of seafoam and go for a ride. This should take you an hour to an hour and a half to do. Have fun.
It would help to make sure any rust is taken care of, as well as cleaning the chrome. Wash the bike, and put some wax on the paint too. Take out the battery and
put it on a trickle charger.
Have fun in Germany; I spent most of my time on active duty in a hot, wet, place in the late 60's.
