I'd be nervous (for my wallet) if I couldn't wrench my own bike. Dealer/Indy/Friends&nbsp\\;are always there if you get in over your head.

Work on it once or twice and it's no big deal.&nbsp\\; I can't imagine letting someone else work on it now. &nbsp\\;

What makes me even more nervous is working on my house to fix things since the house cost about 100 times what the bike did. I am so nervous about it I just don't do it and go out and ride my bike instead. [8D]

I won't let anyone else, especially the dealer, work on my bike. Plus I really like doing the work myself.
