Hi Tom,
Not quite as old as some on here but I’m well over half way if you know what I mean! Anyhow, had lots and lots of bikes. The relative simplicity and ease of getting at pretty much everything is a big part of the attraction for me. Even though bigger services are not that regular (if you want a laugh (or cry)) try changing the plugs on say a ZZR1400 or Crosstourer. Pig of a job.
There’s nothing wrong with getting garages to service our bikes, at all, but IMHO there’s nothing like doing it yourself to bond with the bike, learn and importantly know it’s been done right.
Congrats on the purchase BTW.
