Bled the brakes and booked it in for a valve clearance check (shims - "shudders")
I'm so unlucky that if there is such a thing as re-incarnation I'll come back as me!
Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
Looks nice that, I'm starting to like silver and black
After using my bike for my commute to/from work, I've noted down a few things which require attention.
Required:
1 - Oil/filter change.
2 - Stator change.
3 - Every dash bulb.
4 - Front/rear tyres.
5 - Rear shock service.
6 - Mcct tension check.
7 - Front brake lever change.
8 - Caliper piston clean/lube.
9 - Carb balance.
10 - Headers polish up.
I'd better get saving...

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
Cheers for the suggestion Mav, what sort of price do you think a storm owner would be looking at? Would it keep the 'rusty brown look' at bay?
Today was my day off (as I work Sat), so I went to T.K.Cope Yamaha as I remembered I had a 75 quid voucher from a talk night with Nick Sanders. So I went and grabbed some oil, filter and some winter cleaning products.
Now the bike is freshly oil & filtered as well as looking much less salty

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
+1 on the above. I was bricking it with regards to fitting my own mccts. However I am glad I did items genuinely think I could do it lot quicker if I had to do it again.
Go for it mate.
