Make sure you get those belts changed pretty soon - especially as they are the old ones, which are the dodgy ones!
The fact that the bike has been sitting for so long without the engine running means that the belts will have been stretched in the same place for years, so it is very likely that they will have weak spots in them now ... you don't want to go thrashing it with those and have a belt break or jump!!
But I'm sure you knew that.
